Britain’s wild spaces are commonly thought to exist only in places like the Scottish Highlands or the Lake District but with more recent wilding projects in the lowlands you can actually find plenty of places that give a sense of wilderness and still be only a few miles from civilisation.

My name is Joe Jackson and I have spent many years exploring both the lowlands and uplands of Britain and want to share my experiences with you, through film, print and online media. I have a true love for mountains and moorlands and consider the Lake District as my spiritual home but enjoy walking in almost any part of the country. I have recently started to walk my local Long Distance Waymarked Trails, producing films showing the route and also self published guidebooks to aid fellow walkers on their journey through Britain’s wilderness.
