High Weald

Matt Baker and Charlotte Smith head to the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the borders of Sussex and Kent, to discover the role of wood, iron and clay both historically and for the future. While Matt meets a visionary architect, Charlotte explores an ancient clay technique for fermenting wine and catches up with a father-and-daughter duo keeping alive the craft of blacksmithing. Tom Heap investigates what’s being done to ensure rural communities get the GP access they need, and Adam Henson is on the trail of British strawberries grown all year round.
