Back issues

We spring into 2020 with a new-look cover promoting the new Don’t Lose Your Way tool enabling people to locate – and save – lost paths. We’re marking the 20th anniversary of the CROW act, which threw open acres of ‘mountain, moor, heath and down’ across England and Wales. And we take a look at ten hillside figures cut into the landscape. We Walk & Talk with long-distance record-breaking walker Ash Dykes; chat to mountaineer Simon Yates and ask pioneering GP Dr William Bird about his clever walking schemes.

The winter edition of walk is out now, with its usual mix of news, features and walk suggestions – and a particular focus on paths. In Picture of our Paths, we look at some of the challenges facing our path network and examine the collaborative ways our path maintenance volunteers are working. We enjoy a soul-stirring Big Walk along the Shropshire Way, which has been revived with the help of local Ramblers. We Walk & Talk with neuroscientist and navigation expert Kate Jeffreys, and head to Liechtenstein, Europe’s least visited country, to trial a brand-new trail through rippling mountain scenery.

The Autumn 2019 issue of walk is a special issue celebrating the 70th anniversary of the 1949 Act that laid down the blueprint for our national parks and trails, and enshrined our rights of way in law. Discover a new perspective on one of Britain’s first national parks along the Snowdonia Slate Trail; leave tourist hotspots behind with ten lesser known national park walks; and explore the exploding geysers, deep canyons and magnificent wildlife of the world’s first national park, Yellowstone in the USA. 

The summer issue of walk reveals the ten finalists of Britain’s Best Walking Neighbourhood Award 2019, and asks you to vote for the winner. Follow the footsteps of artists in our regular Ten Places, or explore new places in Ramblers Routes, Discover and the Big Walk features. And get a glimpse the soon-to-be opened Paparoa Track – New Zealand’s first Great Walk in 25 years.
