Merthyr Valley Ramblers

We are a Saturday walking group who discover some of the most wonderful walks in Merthyr and the surrounding areas.
We are all ages,shapes and sizes and our walks are at a comfortable pace and suitable for all.
One thing we all have in common is our love the fresh air, getting away from the rat race for a few hours, and a nice way to get some time out and exercise.
