MEET THE WINNERS

Meet the wonderful winners of the BBC Countryfile Magazine Awards 2020, chosen by you. Over 17,500 readers and website visitors voted across nine categories in this celebration of the very best of the British countryside, from national parks, beaches and gardens to nature reserves and outstanding wildlife success stories.

After a detailed nomination process, our panel of judges made shortlists in this year’s categories, with a particular eye for locations and projects that demonstrated a commitment to protect the environment and work in a sustainable way. The hotly contested categories were then voted on by you over a four-week period. To mark their success, each of our 2020 winners will receive a beautiful, inscribed solid-oak award to put on display.

Editor Fergus Collins comments: “Congratulations to the winners and all those short-listed. There’s a really strong showing for the north-east of England in this year’s results and a couple of real surprises, too. The winners and runners-up in every category are a resounding confirmation of the beauty and diversity of the British countryside.”
