Countryfile: Season 28, Episode 53

28 - 53: My Countryside Compilation

Anita Rani travels to one of her favourite places in the British countryside, Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales. She learns more about this unique landscape and how it was formed thousands of years ago. She meets an artist whose passion, like her mother's and grandmother's before, is painting nearby Gordale Scar. In the village of Malham, Anita catches up with the latest incumbent of the local smithy, who used to be a tax accountant. Anita has been to Malham Cove many times but she's never climbed the walls of this famous limestone amphitheatre. She also looks back through the archives as we re-visit some famous faces who shared with us places in the British countryside that were particularly special to them. Like the time comedian Ed Byrne tried to bag a munro on there Isle of Skye; when England test cricket captain Alistair Cook invited us to the family sheep farm and when Olympic gold winning boxer Nicola Adams took Adam Henson through his paces in her training ground in Leeds.
