We go for a drizzly, breezy walk around the Peak District woodland which psychotherapist Ruth Allen calls her office and discuss how people respond to the landscape.

A fascinating and delicious nature walk in the company of River Cottage’s Gill Meller, who grazes as we walk through the woods then cooks up sea kale on the beach.

Introducing A Life More Wild, a podcast that will transport you into the great outdoors and help you connect with nature. In each episode we’ll be taking a walk in the wild with some fascinating people to find out how nature inspires their work and lives.

We’ll go on the trail of ravens with birdwatcher and equality campaigner Mya-Rose Craig (AKA Bird Girl), forage in the woods and cook on the beach with River Cottage’s Gill Meller and leap into some very cold water with adventurer Sian Lewis.

We’ll also be bringing you the stories of the people behind some of our most amazing places to stay, from the Cumbrian man who stuck a camper van to a bus, to the couple looking to turn back time on their land in Cornwall with an incredibly ambitious project including the reintroduction of beavers to the UK.
