During lockdown, people across Lanarkshire found themselves walking, cycling and running round their local area more than ever before. When many aspects of society were closed off to us, seeking respite in nature proved to be incredibly important: and Lanarkshire certainly has plenty of amazing nature to be explored.
But while certain nature trails are well-known, there’s also many hidden gems across Lanarkshire. Have you discovered a new path, cycle route, hidden ruin, viewpoint or wildlife-watching spot over the past year, that you think people should know about?
If so, then we want to hear about it. Visit Lanarkshire are currently putting together a guide on some of the very best places that North and South Lanarkshire have to offer those looking to enjoy outdoor pursuits, and they are welcoming any recommendations from local people.
So whether it’s Kilsyth or East Kilbride, Cumbernauld or Cambuslang, Strathaven or Leadhills, we want to hear from you to help showcase the wonders of Lanarkshire to visitors and tourists alike.
Email us at campaign@heraldandtimes.co.uk and tell us your name, age, and where you are from, and the place in Lanarkshire that you want us to know about.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
