Cumbria (30x15)

:

Matt Baker and Anita Rani are in West Cumbria where Matt takes a wild and bracing walk along a brand new section of the England Coast Path on Walney Island near Barrow. He meets the people who are creating the path, sees some incredible wildlife on route and discovers a local film-maker who's using materials foraged from the sea shore, to craft new and unexpected films. Meanwhile Anita heads to the north near Whitehaven taking a trail that explores the life of forgotten Cumbrian artist Percy Kelly. Helen Skelton is a few miles inland meeting the woodsman who gave up life in the city to return to his childhood home where he now handcrafts wooden chopping boards. Sean Fletcher is looking at how a fishing ban might just save England's only breeding colony of black guillemots. Tom Heap looks at how many people say they would pay extra to ensure the best animal welfare standards, but does that always prove to be the case when it comes to the supermarket till? And Adam Henson is on the estate in Wales where they've gone big into a type of livestock you won't find down on his farm - bison!
