One of Britain’s most exciting and experienced presenters, Julia Bradbury has been at the forefront of revamping walking for wider – and younger – audiences, as the host of many prime time and outdoor television programmes. She has huge popularity with walkers - whether they've been walking for a lifetime, or are just getting going.
Julia has recently been voted No 1 Walking Celebrity of the Year by Walk Magazine readers, sealing her position as one of the most trusted and popular walking experts in the country.
Julia’s packed portfolio of TV presenting credits include Countryfile; Wainwright’s Walks; Around the World in 80 Days; Climb Britain and Watchdog. Her fresh approach, combined with her expertise and life-long enthusiasm for walking, have earned her a name for putting the zing back into walking.
The Ramblers are marking their 75th Anniversary this year with a host of new programmes and initiatives, aimed at bringing walking to a wider audience.
Ramblers Chief Executive Tom Franklin comments: “In the Ramblers 75th year, our mission is to revamp walking and restore it to its proper place at the heart of everyday life, leisure and transport – no matter who you are! We want to break down the barriers to walking, whether it’s blocked paths or lack of motivation. There is no better expert at this than Julia Bradbury.”
