Wilderness Walks with Ray Mears

“I have explored some of the wildest places on earth - but my favourite is still Britain.” - Ray Mears

This new ITV factual series follows bushcraft expert Ray Mears as he journeys through some of Britain's most spectacular and diverse landscapes.

In Wilderness Walks, Ray takes viewers on a trail of discovery along rivers, through forests and across mountains as he searches for some of our greatest natural treasures. Ray travels from dawn to dusk to explore each unique habitat and the incredible wildlife that exists there.

In each episode, Ray visits a different place, each with its own character.

Part 2: Thames Path

In episode two, Ray visits Thames Path where he journeys by canoe along the mighty River Thames from Oxfordshire to London, finding kingfishers and water voles along the way, and camping in one of the world’s most precious and exclusive woodlands. Ray reveals an unusual use for the horse chestnuts he finds lining the river bank, as he navigates the river in his canoe. He says: “The leaves of this tree if you make them wet and tear them up and squeeze the juice out of them, give you soap which you can use to wash your hands, very effective, well it's good soap.”
