Season 1
Episodes
Coastal Walk: Old Harry Rocks, Dorset
Julia sets off on her favourite coastal walk to one of the most famous landmarks on the Jurassic Coast - Old Harry Rocks. Taking in miles of golden sandy beaches and the dramatic history of the bay, Julia's walk offers a fantastic example of the British Coastline at its best.
Fell Walk: Pen-Y-Ghent, Yorkshire Dales
A walk with a wow factor - Pen-y ghent is the smallest of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, but by far it's most spectacular. Julia's walk takes us on the classic ascent of this towering fell out of the ancient Dales town of Horton. From the start, this striking fell goads you in all its grandeur to climb its towering summit. Half way up, Julia takes in the spectacular sunken-cave of Hull Pot - England's largest natural hole which in wet weather has a stunning waterfall – and discovers how elephants once roamed the Dales. As she reaches the dramatic summit, Julia spots the remaining two challenge peaks - Whernside and Ingleborough - clearly visible in the breath-taking, far-reaching views above the magnificent Dales.
Lakes: Loch Lomond, Scotland
Julia's walk offers one of the most outstanding views over Loch Lomond – at 24 miles long, it's the largest loch in Scotland by surface area. Picking up the West Highland Way, she hugs the bonnie banks through to the little village of Balmaha on the eastern side of the Loch, and takes a quick boat trip to the ancient Lomond isle of Inchcailloch, with magnificent views across the water and out to the surrounding fells. She finishes with a well-deserved Loch Lomond ice cream on her return.
Countryside: Sandstone Trail, Cheshire
North-West England's most popular mid-distance walk, the Sandstone Trail offers a vast array of attractions en route - from celebrity wedding favourite: Peckforton Castle; to the medieval fortification of Beeston Castle. Julia takes in the rolling countryside pastures and panoramic views over the Cheshire plains and Liverpool. It's a popular route for dog-walking and sports – from the local Tough-Team race, to one of the top board and bike tracks in the country, not to mention the intrepid 4x4 off road experience at Peckforton – Julia packs it all in.
Rivers: Watersmeet, Exmoor, Devon
A hidden treasure on the Exmoor coast, Julia's walk sets off from the picturesque harbour-town of Lynmouth and meanders under the tree-green canopy of water-rapids following the East Lyn River and the Hoar Oak River, merging together at the stunning Watersmeet National Trust café – the perfect spot for a hard-earned cream-tea.
Islands: Isle of Man
Julia manages to squeeze three walks in one: starting with the mysterious Dhoon Glen river walk to the magnificent Irish Sea coast.
She then reveals a magical walk down the Laxey Valley to explore its mining heritage and climb the world's tallest water wheel. Equidistant between England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, on a clear day the Isle of Man affords views to all five kingdoms and Julia leads us to the top of Snaefell Mountain to share its spectacular summit.
From ancient Neolithic sites, Viking strong-holds to electric mountain railways and the pull of peregrines, puffins and dozens of nature trails – there's plenty packed in this walk on an Island only ten miles wide and forty miles long.
