Julia Bradbury

One of television’s most experienced and versatile presenters, Julia Bradbury has joined CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire as Branch President. Best known as co-presenter of BBC 1’s Watchdog, Julia may be most familiar to members and friends from the acclaimed BBC series Wainwright Walks, following the routes of the Lake District’s most-famed fell walker. Julia’s affection for the countryside was actually borne in the Peak District where her father Michael introduced her to the joys of walking.

The countryside played a huge part in my growing up and I hope I can help encourage more people to get out there and enjoy it, experience how beautiful it is and support the Branch ’s work to help make sure it remains so for the future, said Julia.
