Filming for Escape to the Country takes Jules all over Wales and the Borders, where he finds a landscape that has inspired so many, including him

I’m often asked what makes me tick. Some would assume it’s the business of creating, or the countryside, history or houses, and all certainly play their part. But in truth my overriding passion is the feeling of being inspired, from whatever source. Over the last few weeks, filming for Escape to the Country has taken me far and wide acrossWales and the Borders, where once again I’ve learnt much that I didn’t know before. From the coast of Ceredigion to the mountains of Snowdonia and theMalvern hills, it’s been a fascinating time.
