  • "I recently attended a Roam and Wonder hiking retreat and a group walk, it was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, allowing me to fully relax. The hikes we explored had stunning views and a great mix of challenge and enjoyment. Hannah at Roam and Wonder was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, creating a supportive and friendly atmosphere throughout the retreat. The accommodation was beautiful, cozy and comfortable, and the meals were absolutely delicious, with plenty of healthy and hearty options to keep us energised. What I loved most was the balance between activity and downtime—the other hikers were all lovely. It was the perfect way to reset and recharge. I highly recommend Roam and Wonder for anyone looking for an adventure outdoors. I’ll definitely be joining another retreat soon!"

    — Hannah

  • "I have had the pleasure of attending both the hiking retreats with Hannah, and regular weekend walks. The walks are always so well organised and have been an excellent way to meet new people, explore new areas and socialise. Usually topped off by finishing at a local pub for a drink! The retreat weekends have been so special; gorgeous accommodation, unbelievable food, great activities/ workshops, fantastic friendly people.. I cant wait for the next one! I cannot recommend Roam & Wonder highly enough. If you are worried about attending any of the events or retreats on your own, I can promise you will be welcomed with open arms by Hannah and the ever growing R&W community."

Community Walk Reviews

  • "Only recently stumbled across Hannah’s page and took the plunge and attended one of her walks. So pleased I did. Hannah was so warm and friendly as were the rest of the group and everyone made me feel really welcome. Can’t wait for 2025 and all the amazing walks Hannah already has planned. Thank you Hannah, see you in 2025 💕"

The groups are always welcoming & I feel I’ve made new friends every walk! If you love the outdoors & want to meet new, great people - I highly recommend Roam & Wonder hikes & retreats."

    — Jae

  • "I’ve joined a couple of hiking events hosted by Hannah at Roam & Wonder, and they’ve been great! She’s created such a welcoming and inclusive community. Attending new things like this can be a little daunting when it’s not something you’ve done before; I was definitely feeling out of my comfort zone on the journey there to my first event, but that feeling quickly disappeared when I was welcomed into the group, so I would 100% recommend you try it if you’re on the fence 😊 Hannah’s efforts into organising and leading these events are appreciated by all of us who attend. And not to forget, the pub visits after are a lovely touch 😉"

    — Chloe

    — Rhyanne

  • "Incredible group of people for a usually solo hiker! New to the area and I was nervous attending alone, but I shouldn’t have been! I have made amazing new friends and Hannah could not have been more welcoming and friendly! Yet to attend a retreat, but after speaking to people who have been, it’s definitely high on my list for 2025"

  • "I went on the Symonds Yacht walk. Had an absolute awesome time. The instructor was very fun and made it very easy for all of us who never met before to mix and get to know each other. The route we took at Symonds Yacht was stunning and Hannah captured great footage for us all to takeaway. Highly recommend the walks and I look forward to doing more!"

    — Ryan

  • "I've been on many of the community walks and always had an amazing time. Hannah is a fantastic leader who does the prep work to make sure her hikes runs safely and smoothly, and remains calm and positive throughout any issues which come up on the day. There's always been a lovely group of people and a very welcoming atmosphere, most people show up alone the first time so don't hesitate to give it a try if you want to get out into beautiful scenery and meet new people!"

    — Rose

  • "A welcoming and very enjoyable walking experience. Hannah and the group were very welcoming despite me not having attended a walking group before. The route we followed was lovely and scenic and the stop at the pub afterwards was a lovely touch to help the group get to know one another. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes walking and meeting new people."

  • "It’s so hard as an adult to meet new friends, but since meeting Hannah and the Roam & Wonder team, I’ve had the best summer! Hannah creates some awesome hikes, mixed length and locations which helps to keep us on our toes. It’s been lovely to meet so many new people as well. I went on my own to the first one but instantly felt welcome and everyone was so lovely. I couldn’t recommend joining in more!! Thanks Hannah and the team."

    — Adam

  • "The community walks hosted by Hannah are always filled with laughter. Interesting routes of varied lengths with the nicest groups of people. Always new faces showing up, so if meeting new people who love to get out in nature is your goal, get yourself to one of her events! Would love to join one of her retreats soon!"
