Our paths, trails and bridleways form an iconic system that is the lifeblood of the Great British outdoors. Those honeypot routes that everyone walks – the paths most travelled – are at risk from the very same pairs of boots that love them.

By supporting Mend Our Mountains, you’ll be directly helping paths and people around the UK. In 2023-4, we will be funding a range of projects that include:
Repairing a section of the classic Coast to Coast path in the Lake District which, despite being one of the most famous routes in the UK, has not enjoyed any formal protections for many years
Training volunteer wardens and rangers in the Cotswolds so they can repair paths and rights of way, as well as learning other valuable rural skills
Restoring the access routes on one of the North East’s most iconic peaks, Roseberry Topping
Developing exciting new fundraising technologies to help other outdoor organisations get more people involved in enjoying and caring for natural heritage
Funding many other path-repair and wider conservation projects around the country

HELP US TO CONSERVE AND REPAIR THE PLACES YOU LOVE
Mend Our Mountains is the BMC’s call to action for every single outdoor-goer, and its message is simple: show some love back to those paths and trails that make it possible.
And it’s not just about repairing paths: through a diverse set of projects that cover the whole of Britain, from majestic wilderness in Scotland to outdoor education in the Cotswolds, our mission is to rethink the way the British public cares for rights of way and the delicate, beautiful landscapes they dissect.
