The Blackburn and Darwen Group

The Group does not organise a walks programme we do support the Coach Rambles organised once a month on a Sunday. to various destinations mainly in the Northern half of England. These coach walk provide an ideal opportunity to leave the car behind, let someone else do the driving and explore areas a little further afield.
There are pick up points in Darwen and Blackburn are:

Darwen Circus, Darwen Lynwood Ave, Blackburn Ewood, Blackburn Boulevard.

Four easy options are available to book a place: coach rambles web site
