About the Group.

The Tuesday Walking Group meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month, on both mornings and afternoons. The walks are shorter than those enjoyed by the Ramblers and over more gentle terrain. Walks usually finish at nearby coffee shops, where tea and scones are an essential element of the walk!


Walks on Tuesday 6 October 2026.

Morning walk - Greyabbey Village.

We will walk from the Village car park through the Village to the Abbey,stopping at Trinity Church for tea/coffee and delicious homemade treats.Part of the walk back is a path along the shore which is on rough uneven ground.

Meet in the Vilage car park 10.30 or to carshare Comber Cemetery 10.00.

Afternoon Walk - Comber area.

Next walk is Tuesday 6th October at 2pm.

During Autumn and Winter we are keeping walks as close to home as possible. We can’t get much closer than this walk on 6th October.

We start at Ginnys Way beside Comber Cemetery, then enter via 4 steps from Cherryvalley Estate into Muckers and from there into Park Way.

Home via Killinchy Street for a coffee stop in Comber.  No hills and all hardcore surfaces.

Meet at Comber Cemetry 2pm.
