Supporting routes to adventure for all

We are long term partners of the BMC, sharing a passion for big adventures and protecting wild places. Together, we’ve championed initiatives like the Mend our Mountain Campaign and The Climate Project through donations from our Pennies on the till campaign. Thanks to you choosing to round up your purchases, we've raised over £50,000 since 2023 to restore some of Britains most loved paths and moors. Check out some of the fantastic work we’ve done together here.

As the home of climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers in England and Wales, the BMC is a leading voice for access, conservation and environmental stewardship. Through their charity trusts – the Access & Conservation Trust (ACT) and the Land & Property Trust – the BMC works to ensure everyone has the freedom to access & explore nature and protect it for current and future generations.

Cotswold Outdoor is also really proud to be the BMC's Official Hill Walking Programme Partner. Together, we’re helping more people get outside through free social hill walks which run across the England and Wales for all abilities. If you fancy pulling on your boots with us, take a look here.
