About Long Distance Walkers Association

Long Distance Walkers Association logo
The home of everything to do with Long Distance Walking! With 10,000 members the LDWA is large enough to be the recognised governing body of the sport, yet small enough to feel like a friendly family-run club. It caters for those who enjoy walking longer distances, especially in rural, mountainous and moorland areas. LDWA Website
