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.

“壮游”译自“Grand tour”，它盛行于18世纪的欧洲。保罗·福塞尔说：“典型的18世纪观点是，勤奋的观察者游遍外域，向那些不幸留在家中者报告他对人性的发现，以及对社会叙述自己的观察结果，这是一种义务”。

本节目由旅行60+国的前媒体人Yang主持，人文、地理、历史……不同身份和视角的旅行者，将分享他们的参与式观察体验。
