Central England – Kinder Scout, Derbyshire Peak District

Britain’s first official long-distance path, the Pennine Way finally opened in 1965, 30 years after Tom Stephenson – journalist, walkers’ champion and first fulltime secretary of the Ramblers – proposed it, primarily as a means of resolving the long-standing problems of access to Kinder and Bleaklow.

Central England – Long Mynd, Shropshire

Established in 1980, the Shropshire Way was a labour of love for local Ramblers groups, who put in the extensive groundwork of plotting, preparing and waymarking the route with its distinctive buzzard waymark.

Southern England Wychwood Forest, Oxfordshireern

Charlbury lies at the heart of what was once the royal Forest of Wychwood, which covered much of what is now west Oxfordshire, and where the deer were reserved for the king to hunt.

Southern England – Constable Country, Essex

Ramblers volunteer Fred Matthews – who died last year, aged 85 – was a veteran campaigner for footpaths in Essex. As well as organising an annual 160km/100-mile walk round the county’s rights of way to make sure the council was doing its job, he pioneered the creation of the 130km/81-mile Essex Way in 1972.

Wales – Loggerheads Country Park, Flintshire/Denbighshire

he Clwydian Way is a 195km/122-mile circular route through some of North Wales’ finest countryside, created to celebrate the new millennium.

Wales – Cardiff Bay, South Wales

This lovely all-inclusive walk around Cardiff Bay and over the spectacular barrage was only made possible in 2007, thanks to the campaigning efforts of Ramblers Cymru.

Northern England – Sheffield, South Yorkshire

This route is one of hundreds written by volunteers – many of whom are Ramblers – for the Get Walking Keep Walking scheme, a Ramblers-led initiative to encourage more people to walk every day and improve their health.

Northern England – Farndale, North Yorkshire

he lovely Dove Valley is renowned for its countless wild daffodils, which blanket its flanks in yellow each spring. But it’s thanks to the campaigning efforts of West Riding Ramblers that this beautiful part of Upper Farndale isn’t submerged beneath the waters of a vast reservoir.

Scotland – Forth Valley, Stirlingshire

The ample and very pleasant countryside on the north side of the Campsie Fells has always been popular with both walkers and wealthy commuter-belt residents seeking peace and privacy in the beautiful surroundings.

Southern England Bristol, Avon

From the middle of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, head east towards Bristol. The bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, although he never saw it finished as funding problems delayed its completion until 5 years after his death.

Scotland – Cairngorm and Ben Macdui, Highlands

The wild Cairngorm range is home to five of the six highest mountains in Britain, and was only the second area in Scotland to be given national park status, after Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.

Southern England: The Eastons and Tilty

This delightful circular walk highlights one of Essex’s secret corners.

Wales: Newgale to St Davids, Pembrokeshire

The walk from Newgale to St Davids via picturesque Solva is one of the finest of many wonderful stretches along the Pembrokeshire coast…

Scotland: Plockton, Lochalsh, West Highlands

The National Trust conservation village of Plockton, which lies around a sheltered bay looking eastward down Loch Carron, is one of the most picturesque on Scotland’s west coast…
