Ramble Guides by Athena Mellor
Ramble Guides are designed for the modern explorer. For the person who wants to head into the wild with an open mind and an open heart; to wander through forests and over fells, across brooks and beside lochs; and then retreat to a cosy cafe for a flat white and homemade cake, or to a local pub serving traditional beer beside an open fire.
The Ramble Guides series, written by founder Athena Mellor, has expanded to feature two volumes; Peak District and Lake District. Both guides are designed to be visually appealing but also practical — with hand-drawn walking maps, captivating imagery and a wealth of inspiration for rambling in each National Park.
ramble |ˈramb(ə)l|
verb [ no obj. ]
To walk for pleasure in the countryside.
Our female-founded, family business
We are Athena, Harvey, Aífe & Oslo, a young family based in the Cumbrian fells. Ramble Co. was founded by Athena in 2017, with an aspiration to create guides to the U.K.’s National Parks and wild places in a more modern way. In 2020, the first Ramble Guidebook to the Peak District was published.
Now our business has expanded into an online store sourcing considered goods for home and hill, with a focus on independent brands and sustainability, as well as the Ramble Membership where you can access all our online guides as we travel and explore the U.K. on foot.
