It’s tempting to hunker down inside at this time of year – but getting outside for a walk is good for body and soul. Whether it’s a bracing seaside stroll or a trek across hills and through woods, we’d love to hear about your favourite mid-winter walks in the UK. It needn’t be an epic, just a route that captures the vibes of the season. Don’t feel as if you have to conjure up a hike that crunches over frost and through snow; drizzly, murky conditions are just as conducive to an atmospheric walk! The best tip will win a £200 voucher with Coolstays.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
