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 National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
