Where can we still be wild?
When looking at the figures to the right, you would be forgiven for thinking the UK is an urban wasteland. However, nothing could be further from the truth.
Agreed, most land in the UK is owned by someone, but there are so many places where you can still believe you are the only person on this isle. There are so many places where you can achieve that feeling of 'wilderness'.
Here at We Go Wild UK, want to help you discover those places, and the reasons you should be exploring this country and all it has to offer. Follow us on our journey and you might just see something new and exciting which gives you that next spark to explore the unknown.
