A List of Women’s Adventure & Hiking Groups to Join in the UK

Published on September 18, 2025 2 min read

We’re celebrating the rise of women’s hiking groups and adventure clubs across the UK!

More women than ever are embracing the outdoors – climbing mountains, paddling rivers, running epic distances, and finding therapy in those endorphin-boosting cold water dips.

Looking for more inspiration – visit our OS Women Outdoors Hub

If you’re wondering how to take that first step or looking for a group of women to share your next adventure with, you’re in the right place.

We know how powerful nature can be for both body and mind. After chatting recently with OS Champion Natasha Sones about how women-only groups can boost confidence and break down barriers, we felt inspired to shine a light on the communities making a real difference.

A List of Women Only Outdoor Adventure Groups

This small and growing directory of women’s hiking groups, outdoor swimming clubs and adventurous societies is all about helping you find your tribe. Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking for some like-minded women to explore with. These adventure groups are doing amazing work to make the outdoors more welcoming, especially for those who might not always feel like it’s for them.
