JOE PONTIN, Managing Editor

Joe is BBC Countryfile Magazine's managing editor, always eager to find and share great writing and storytelling. His interests roam widely through history, ecology, food and farming, art, crafts and beyond. He loves to discover the charisma of particular rural places, from lofty fells and lonely hillforts to crowded country markets, rose-filled gardens and gorges. He loves to explore, roaming for miles in running shoes or hiking boots.

Joe also coordinates our gear reviews for print and web.
