We produce a comprehensive walks programme twice a year which also includes some social events. some of our walks are "themed" and may be led by someone with a particular interest in flowers; fauna or local history. Go to the Walks Programme tab below to view our current walks. You are welcome to try us out for three walks to see if rambling is for you! If you like the experience we would hope that you would then join the Ramblers Association.

There are 11 Groups that you can walk with. They walk on a variety of days; have short walks as well as longer walks and are very welcoming to both new people wishing to experience walking with a group and visitors (members or non-members) wanting to enjoy what Devon has to offer and learn a little about its history; life and agriculture.
Some of our walks are of special interest with flower and fauna; geology; industrial history; and much more.
Devon has one of the largest footpath networks in the country and Ramblers volunteers do a lot of work in helping keep them open and well maintained for all to enjoy.

The Bioregional Learning Centre (BLC) works in South Devon in an area bounded not by political boundaries but by water. To the west the River Tamar that divides Devon from Cornwall. To the east the River Teign, to the south the sea and to the north the headwaters of our five main rivers that rise on Dartmoor and flow south. This geographical area is 40-50 miles in any direction and can be crossed in a car in roughly two hours. It contains some of the greatest human deprivation in England as well as some of the most beautiful countryside.
BLC has been set up as a Community Interest Company (CIC) to be a backbone organisation serving the sustainable and resilient future of this area. Our work lies in bringing statutory bodies, NGOs, individuals and communities together to address whole-systems change towards a flourishing bioregion. That means finding practical ways to work collaboratively towards long-term economic and ecological resilience.
ECOLOGY Engaging and empowering citizens to care for their environment and to work at whole-systems level.
ARTS Giving local people a greater sense of belonging and opening up the question of what it means to be a citizen of this place.
ECONOMY Promoting sustainable, low-carbon enterprise in this region as part of a long-term resilience strategy
LEARNING Creating a learning region that offers direct & enjoyable experiences of ‘real-world problem-solving’ to people of all ages

These early days of the 21st century are profoundly troubled. We have inherited economic theories and structures that are fuelling the rise of a global one percent, and simultaneously driving us towards climate breakdown and ecological collapse. The impacts of these crises are heightened by sharp inequalities of gender and race, of wealth and power, of global South and global North.
An economic transformation that promotes human flourishing for all on a thriving planet is irrefutably and urgently needed.
Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) is part of the emerging global movement of new economic thinking and doing that is rising to this challenge. Our aim is to help create 21st century economies that are regenerative and distributive by design, so that they can meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet. We call this Doughnut Economics.
We work with changemakers worldwide – in communities, education, cities, business and government and more – who are turning the ideas of Doughnut Economics into transformative action and aiming to create systemic change. DEAL is very intentionally an Action Lab: we are focused on turning ideas into action, and on learning with and from others through experiments in co-creating a new economy.
