LOVE IT. SAVE IT.
We've searched all of England and Wales and found over 49,000 miles of paths that could be lost forever, unless we come together to save them.
Don't Lose Your Way
The government has committed to revoking the 2026 deadline for recording lost ways. This gives us more time to ensure that the paths we love are saved, but the work is not over.
We need volunteers throughout England and Wales to prioritise, research and apply for the paths to be restored, protecting them for generations to come.

As Britain’s leading walking charity, we believe everyone has the right to access and enjoy the outdoors. We want all paths that are not on the definitive map to be saved now and for future generations, and we can only do this with your help. Please support our work:
