About this programme

Adam Henson and Ellie Harrison visit Cumbria's Duddon Valley, where they learn how the local landscape inspired Wordsworth, as well as trying their hands at mountain rescue and kite-surfing. John Craven investigates how a planned high-speed rail link between London and Birmingham could affect the countryside, and James Wong heads for the Channel Islands, where he discovers the rural delights of Guernsey and Alderney.
