Ray Mears returns to our screens next week with a brand new series on ITV - starting on Dartmoor.

Aired on Tuesday 9th September, Wilderness Walks with Ray Mears aims to take viewers on a trail of discovery through some of Britain’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes.

The series begins with Ray returning to one of his favourite places in Britain – Dartmoor.
