THE Ramblers are on the search for Britain's favourite path.

The walking charity, in partnership with Cotswold Outdoor, has launched a nationwide competition.

People are invited to submit photos of their favourite walking paths along with a description of what makes them special.

The path could be a loved trail or a scenic route discovered on a work commute.

Paths can hold special memories, whether they remind you of walks with grandparents, the place you met your partner or a favourite stroll with a pet.

Once all entries are submitted, a panel of judges, including adventurer Alastair Humphreys and the Ramblers' head of paths, Jack Cornish, will choose eight finalists.

These will be put to a public vote to decide the overall winner.

The winning path will be featured on a prominent billboard.

Jack Cornish said: "Here at The Ramblers we are passionate about shining a light on the incredible network of paths, tracks and trails up and down Great Britain.

"This fun and free-to-enter competition can be done on a walk from your doorstep, or while on holiday in Scotland, England or Wales, and there are almost 200,000 miles of mapped paths to choose from!"

The competition runs until September 8.
