What's your favourite walk? Mine is a toss-up between the route from St Anthony Head to Portscatho on the south coast of Cornwall, and the perilous Kentmere Round in the Lake District. We did the latter in Converse shoes, lost in thick wet cloud, guided by a hand-drawn map based on one of Alfred Wainwright's hand-drawn maps. It was quite scary.What's your favourite walk?

Every weekend, all over the country, people set out on their favourite walks. These might not be famous, or appear in guide books. Where the footpath heads on, you might turn left, down into that dingley dell where there's an amazing hidden cave, or a fallen tree that looks like a dragon. Maybe your family has been walking that way for years, and you'll pass the route on to your own children. Every weekend, all over the country, people set out on their favourite walks.

Where the footpath heads on, you might turn left, down into that dingley dell where there's an amazing hidden cave, or a fallen tree that looks like a dragon. Maybe your family has been walking that way for years, and you'll pass the route on to your own children. Or perhaps there's a special reason why a walk is important to you.
We'd would love you to share your favourite walks with us, so that we can collect them into an archive for other readers to use. Share your walks through our Guardian Witness assignment, giving as much detail as possible, including where to start, clear directions, landmarks to look out for, and where to finish. Information on whether you need a car to get there, and the location of nearest car park is also helpful. And do include photos or videos if you have them, to give a sense of why your walk is special.

Our favourite readers' walks will be turned into cut-out-and-keep maps that we will run in the Guardian's monthly Do Something magazine. More will be posted online in an ongoing series.Our favourite readers' walks will be turned into cut-out-and-keep maps that we will run in the Guardian's monthly Do Something magazine.
