Discover the 206 Olympic and Paralympic Nations in the UK

Take part in the London 2012 celebrations – find, explore and walk

As the eyes of the world turn towards the UK for the ‘greatest show on earth’ – London 2012 – help us to explore our connections to the 206 Olympic and Paralympic Nations, and discover how these countries and their people have shaped our surroundings, often in surprising ways.

Join us in the challenge to find connections, explore your local area and create walks which take you around the world without leaving the UK.

Walk the World is part of Discovering Places, the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad campaign to inspire the UK to discover their local environment.
