Welcome
The Saltford Walkers are a local walking group based around Saltford and Keynsham, England. We walk two or more weekends each month of the year, from 2 to 10 miles.
We are subdivided into 4 groups, based on the length of walk that each does:
- Long Walkers: 8 – 10 miles (no dogs on these walks, please)
- Amblers: 4 – 6 miles (dogs are welcome on these walks)
- Strollers: 2 – 3 miles (no dogs on these walks, please)
- Canine Friends: 2 – 4 miles (dogs especially encouraged on these walks) – NEW –
