In each of the programmes the presenter walks through interesting scenery filming themself and their surroundings with a 360-degree camera on a selfie stick, and talking about the route and other matters.
They record interviews with people they meet, and read one or two poems appropriate to their walk, but there is no other spoken voice-over commentary, as on-screen captions are used instead.
The main captions appear on screen to show place names, the Ordnance Survey Grid reference[2][3][4][5] points and distance travelled of the walker, with other information, describing points of interest, the time until sunset and facts from history,[6][4][7] appearing at intervals along the walk, usually in smaller text at the bottom of the screen.
There are clips of drone footage showing the walker in the landscape: their red rucksack makes them easily seen.
In February 2023, a new series of BBC Four's ...Walks format was broadcast, this time with the season shifted to Spring.
