The outdoors all around us

We all know and love the jewels in the UK's crown when it comes to adventure: the rugged peaks of Snowdonia, the vast and beautiful Lake District, the unrelentingly wild Cairngorms. But our little island has a lot more to offer than just these deserving highlights, and as many of us revel in the discoveries we made when we could go no further than our doorsteps, we want to shine a light on just how varied the UK outdoors is - and how we can all do our bit to help protect it. Over the next few weeks we'll be celebrating the different landscapes just waiting to be explored all over the country, along with some expert kit picks and tips on how you can do your part to preserve the outdoors we all love. You won't want to miss it.

Preserving our homeland's biodiversity is essential to ensuring a future for its flora and fauna, as well as playing a part in helping to fight climate change on a global scale. As we introduce you to our favourite landscapes, we'll also be sharing a little insight into why we're on a mission to protect each unique system, and some expert advice on how you can play your part as you explore these wild areas.
