Ramblers Cymru research reveals that our paths are valued, but more investment is needed, and more needs to be done to help people access information to enjoy the outdoors. 

The recent nationwide poll on the state of the path network has unveiled intriguing insights into the public’s perceptions and desires concerning walking paths in Wales.  

The Ramblers commissioned a YouGov conducted online poll (between 9th-14th March 2023), aimed to gauge the public’s awareness of their rights and responsibilities when using paths, as well as their attitudes towards path networks and their potential improvements. 

The survey found that 72% of people in Wales think more time, money and resource should be invested in the path network, with 89% agreeing that the network should be protected for future generations.
