Off The Beaten Track is a compilation album by The Stranglers. It was released by EMI, who had acquired the back catalogues of the Strangler's former labels United Artists and Liberty. The compilation collects tracks which were originally only available as the A-side or B-sides to various 7" vinyl singles released by United Artists and Liberty.

The collection reached No. 80 in the UK Albums Chart in September 1986.

Off the Beaten Track is a British travel documentary show that aired on ITV from 1 November to 13 December 2013 and was hosted by Christine Bleakley.

In the series, a rival to the BBC's Countryfile, Bleakley "discovers Britain's hidden gems", by travelling to places that are not generally considered tourist attractions. It was reported that she was inspired by "her love of Britain and a childhood spent holidaying at home". She said of the series: "When we first discussed ideas for the series, I happened to mention that I had never had a foreign holiday until I was 18. I always holidayed at home and we travelled the length and breadth of Ireland and Scotland. I have a real appreciation of what is around us and this series is reminding people what a beautiful part of the world we live in. I loved every minute filming the show as it really was such a lovely, happy time. We were also very lucky with the weather as it was just so glorious." She said she would "love" to make a second series, but in March 2014, it was announced that a second series would not be commissioned, said to be because of low ratings. A source for the show said, "It simply wasn't as strong as similar rival shows, and there's no chance of it returning."
