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 3: Snowdonia

In this episode, Ray visits Snowdonia and discovers how in the rugged landscapes around Britain's highest mountain there are forms of wildlife which survive against all the odds, and can only be found in this very special part of Wales. He puts down mammal traps overnight to see how much wildlife is roaming on a tightly-cropped Snowdonia hillside - and is surprised to discover four wood mice in a small area. He says: “That was so interesting this morning. Putting those traps down has completely transformed my understanding of this landscape – I would never have thought there could be so many small mammals in ground that’s so heavily grazed, makes you think again and that’s the beauty of that kind of research.”
