Julia Bradbury takes you along some of the UK’s most unforgettable walks..
Julia is a popular TV presenter but more than that she’s a keen walker who has loved the countryside since she was a small child. Her passion for walking and the great outdoors is a legacy from her dad and her childhood in rural Rutland and Sheffield where she went to school. She grew up exploring gently undulating hills and rugged green valleys. So, what are her unforgettable walks and where does she recommend you go to explore and see the UK in a new way?
Julia Says:
“I’ve chosen these particular walks because they represent the diversity of our countryside – from picturesque (the Cotswolds and the South downs – through to the rugged and wild (Cumbria and Edale) Inevitable, people will feel some places have been overlooked and, of course, they have.
I choose Derbyshire because that it is where walking began for me, with my dad, and my heart will always skip a beat when I set foot in the Peaks. It’s asp at the root of our story as a walking nation: the mass trespass on Kinder Scout ignited out right to roam and cemented our passion for the countryside. It’s also the place in the world where 185 million years of the earth’s history are sequentially exposed in the geology of the dramatic cliffs”
