Description

Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.

Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble.

The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.

Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.

Walking is, apparently, the UK's great pastime. In Ramblings, Clare Balding walks and talks with people. Of course, it's not just about the terrain or the path; she gets them talking about what the paths mean to them. For some it's a symbol of their own abilities; for others, a way to form and work through friendships. Each half-hour episode makes for gentle listening and, though it's never too far from the sharp edge of life, it's never reactionary or aggressive.
