Wild at Heart: My Journey To A Country Life
As seen on BBC’s hit shows, Escape to the Country and Countryfile, this is Jules Hudson’s first memoir.
Wild at Heart documents the highs and lows and moments of triumph and tragedy Hudson has experienced both on and off our screens.
“Throughout what has been a colourful life and exciting career, I’ve often joked at many memorable moments along the way that they would definitely go into ‘the book’!”
A household name to millions, Jules Hudson has been a familiar face on TV for decades. Fronting hit shows from Escape to the Country to Winter and Springtime on the Farm and Countryfile, he has become an integral part of life for the ‘Farmy Army’ of dedicated fans.
It hasn’t been a straight path to an idyllic new life in the rural landscapes of Britain however.
In his first memoir, Jules reveals the highs and lows and moments of triumph and tragedy he has experienced both on and off our screens.
Jules pens an inspiring and evocative portrait not only of his own life, but of the countryside and people he found his true home with.
Taking readers from his beginnings in urban Essex to the mountains, fields and woods – not to mention the animals – of his new home in the countryside, his journey shows that all along he really was Wild at Heart.

What an interesting upbringing and life Jules has had. I loved hearing about it and felt I was sitting with a friend. Can’t get better than that. I so enjoy seeing him on Escape to the country

I never knew Jules Hudson had led such a varied and interesting book. Always thought he was just a presenter. He’s done so much more than that.
