Julia Bradbury

Julia Bradbury-Biography

Julia Bradbury is one of the small screen’s most popular and versatile presenters.  Having taken the helm on BBC One’s rural affairs show Countryfile alongside Matt Baker in 2009, the show’s ratings have since soared to over 7 million viewers. Broadcasting every Sunday at 7pm, Countryfile reports on rural and environmental issues throughout the UK, with Julia reporting from across the length and breadth of Britain.

Julia’s reputation as the face of the outdoors began when she fronted Wainwright Walks, a stunning BBC Four series shot in the Lake District. The programme sees Julia re-tread the footsteps of legendary fell-walker Alfred Wainwright, and has to date spawned three series.  Julia has recently filmed two additional sets of hiking exploits, in Germany and South Africa.

In Climb Britain for BBC1, Julia faced her fears and managed to successfully climb to the top of The Old Man of Stoer – a 60 meter high sea stack that surges from the sea alongside the cliffs in Lochinver, Sutherland. Julia had never rock climbed before and regards this as one of her most frightening challenges.

As a pioneer for outdoor exploration and adventure, drawing on her epic travels throughout the UK, Julia will be contributing to DK Travel Guides’ forthcoming publication, Where To Go When: Great Britain and Ireland.
