Britain's Favourite Path
Which path will be crowned Britain’s favourite this summer?
This summer, we’re on the search for Britain’s Favourite Path. Will you find it?
Whether criss-crossing the countryside or weaving through our cities, paths have connected us with nature, and each other, for centuries. It’s time for them to have their moment in the sun. Throughout August, until Sunday 8 September, we’ve teamed up with Cotswold Outdoor to ask you to submit your contender for Britain’s Favourite Path.
Send us a picture of your chosen path, along with why you love it, and you could win a £200 voucher to spend at Cotswold Outdoor. Plus, your path will be displayed on a billboard during National Walking Month 2025 for all to admire.
And that’s not all: every single entrant will also receive a discount code for 20% off instore at Cotswold Outdoor!
Is there a path that you’ve been walking since childhood? That has breathtaking views? That has a historic tale to tell? We want to hear about it! You can get more information about what we’re looking for in our free guide to Paths, Tracks and Trails.
How the competition works
Once you have a picture photograph of the path you would like to nominate, upload it and tell us why you’ve chosen it. Then hey presto, you’ve entered the competition.
All entrants will receive a confirmation email with a discount code to use at Cotswold Outdoor.
The competition will be open until 23:59 on Sunday 8 September. Our team of expert judges will then whittle down the entries to a shortlist of eight, one for each of our eight locations: North East England, North West England, Midlands, East England, South West England, South East England, Wales and Scotland.
Those eight will be put out to a public vote and the winner will be crowned Britain’s Favourite Path. Good luck!
