Christian Lewis | From Hildasay to Home

Veteran Christian Lewis is a remarkable man with a remarkable story. He set out to walk the UK coastline, leaving his old life behind. After six years he finally finished his journey and found a family along the way. Crossing the finishing line on Rhossili beach in July 2023, they were met by crowds of supporters having raised half a million pounds for veterans’ charity SSAFA.  

In conversation with Alex Clark.
