Julia's Wild About Yorkshire
Yorkshire Life|October 2019
Julia Bradbury is surely the rambling world’s ‘national treasure’. Brought up in Sheffild, her first walking routes were on solid Yorkshire ground, and she’s back in Harrogate this month

Julia's Wild About Yorkshire
Julia Bradbury is always on the move. We catch up with her as she travels through South Africa for her current project focused around sustainability and giving back to local communities.

Within minutes it’s clear just how down to earth, humble and infectiously passionate she is. Having just finished working with Sir Trevor Macdonald on Britain’s Greatest National Treasures, she’s more excited to talk about how incredible he is and the honour of working with him than she is to talk about herself.

It’s no surprise though that, once we get talking about her upcoming trip to Harrogate for Countryside Live, Julia is brimming with passion and knowledge of Yorkshire and its incredible landscapes.

Julia calls Yorkshire home. She went to school through childhood in Sheffield and admits, ‘in my blood, there’s a northern girl. I love coming back. It makes my heart beat a little bit faster.’ And what with an honorary degree from Sheffield Hallam and her city roots in it’s no surprise that Julia remains drawn to Yorkshire.

Julia’s love of walking segues in to the effect the outdoors has on our health and it becomes clear how important it is to Julia to raise awareness of the positive attributes’ nature can have on our health.

Like many people within the UK, Julia grew up dividing her time between city life and countryside and it’s meant that, although she loves being busy, she has always found solace in being in the countryside surrounded by nature.
