Growing up around farms and wildlife, Kate Humble has always had a fascination for nature. After leaving school, Kate travelled further afield to explore Africa; travelling from Cape to Cairo doing various jobs along the way. Returning to England she began working for television production companies, working her way up to producer before jetting back off to Africa with her husband.

Since then, Kate has written travel articles for the likes of The Telegraph, The Times and Wanderlust Magazine; presented numerous BBC nature programmes; and explored much more of the world including walking 1500kms through the Sahara Desert.

Kate Humble is a well-known and much-loved British TV presenter who has garnered followers thanks to her fascinating programmes such as Volcano Live, Wild Things and, of course, the famed Springwatch and Autumnwatch. With her bubbly but informative nature she clearly imparts her knowledge in a fun and friendly way.

More recently, Kate and her team of fellow nature enthusiasts portrayed the effects of climate change on polar bears in their BBC production Arctic Live. This took them to Churchill in Arctic Canada presenting live from the tundra. Climate change is a topic that is close to Kate's heart and which has been the focus of a number of her programmes

Kate is passionate about charity work and supports a number of organisations including The Wildlife Trust, RSPB and The Marine Conservation Society. In 2018 she become President of the Wildfowl & Wetland Trust, released a range of biodegradable and non-polluting bath and beauty products, and published Thinking on My Feet, an ode to the meditative magic of walking.

In 2018, Kate led one of our fantastic Svalbard Polar Bear Safari ship charters, discovering the high Arctic while discussing the effects of climate change on this icy wonderland and giving talks and lectures about her work and travels.

Escape to the Farm with Kate

Kate Humble & husband Ludo Graham moved to Monmouthshire in 2007. Ludo, a BAFTA winning TV producer, went to work for the BBC in Cardiff. Kate, broadcaster and writer, was delighted to have the opportunity to move to the countryside after years of being a frustrated bumpkin in London. The initial plan was to rent a house but they fell in love with the Wye Valley and ended up buying an old stone farmhouse with four acres of land. Chickens came first, then Badger the dog. Then they got slightly drunk at a neighbour’s dinner party and woke up to find they had agreed to take on two Kune Kune pigs. Two donkeys and several ducks and geese followed. Then a hive of bees, a veggie patch, Bella (another rescue dog) and a small flock of Badger Face Welsh Mountain ewes. More by mistake than design, they’d become smallholders. Then came Humble by Nature.
