Julia Bradbury

Specialising in documentaries and consumer affairs programmes, Julia Bradbury is one of television’s most popular and versatile presenters.

Credited with revamping Sunday night primetime television on BBC One’s Countryfile alongside Matt Baker, she has launched three television channels, turned walking into a primetime hit on the BBC and ITV, and presented national-favourite television shows such as Watchdog and Top Gear.

In 2010, Julia and Matt extended their partnership beyond Countryfile and fronted BBC1's Secret Britain, in which the pair explored the hidden corners of the UK in search of the best the countryside has to offer - from deserted beaches to tumbling waterfalls. The show was a huge success, regularly drawing in over 6 million viewers.

Dubbed ’Lady of the Lakes’ following her many walking series, Julia’s six-part series, Britain’s Best Walks, was originally shown on ITV and continues to be repeated, reached an average of over 4 million viewers per programme.

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 saw Julia re-tread the footsteps of legendary fell-walker Alfred Wainwright, and has to date spawned three series. Julia has also filmed two additional sets of hiking exploits, in Germany and South Africa respectively.

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.

In 2019, Julia Bradbury's Australia, saw Julia travel from the west to east coast, talking to surfers, crocodile wranglers and conservationists, combining her passions for travel and the environment.

In addition to her on-screen achievements, Julia has written several books about walking and launched The Outdoor Guide Foundation, raising money to donate equipment to state primary schools and improve accessibility to enjoying nature in the UK.

Julia is also an ambassador for Keep Britain Tidy, The National Trust and a champion for Ordnance Survey.

She also supports a wide range of women’s charities including PlanUK and Endometriosis UK, as well as The Ashden Foundation, WWF, Surfers Against Sewage, #2minuteBeachClean, Prostate Cancer UK and Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Julia is also proud to be the first female President of The Camping and Caravanning Club.

Following her involvement with the BBC programme Famous, Rich and Homeless, Julia is an ongoing supporter of the Big Issue and continues to highlight the issues surrounding homelessness.

In addition to travel, Julia is a renown motor head. She has presented Top Gear, Auto Sport and Stars in Fast Cars for BBC One, Superbikes for British Eurosport, Speedway Grand Prix for Channel 4 and The Real Car Show for ITV. Julia also presented Goodwood 76th Members Meeting for ITV and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
