Nature Detective Walks

In early 2010 Andrew Mottram was approached by ITV to appear in the second series of the popular ITV series 'The Lakes'. The cameras followed Andrew around the Wild Boar woods near Windermere where Andrew runs nature walks and shows some of the budding nature detectives exploring around the woodland trails in this fantastic area of the lakes.

Andrew Mottram will be at the Wild Boar woods every Sunday in February guiding his woodland walks for guests and patrons of The Wild Boar from 10.30 am (approx 1.5 hours). Nature Detective Walks
