From city centre to rewilding wetland

This year we're heading back out on the road for a second series of Wild Weekends. We want you to experience what a weekend in nature looks like through the eyes of someone new. There are five great guests and we'll be sharing one video episode a month for the rest of the year.

Join us hiking in Yorkshire, learning about farm to table cooking in Dorset and foraging in Herefordshire in a bid to reconnect you with the outdoors.

But first, urban birdwatcher Lira Valencia takes a trip out of London to a rewilding estate in Gloucestershire, where she goes wild swimming, birdwatches from the outdoor bath and meets a one-day-old cow with enviable eyelashes.

6 groups improving access to the outdoors

Lack of access to wild spaces remains a problem for almost any marginalised group, but here are a few organisations fighting to change that.

See where Lira stayed:

Magnificent views from the super king-sized bed, the snooze chairs on the deck, the outdoor bath, and from your memories for years to come.
