| Summary: | Simon Reeve travels through the glorious Lake District and the county of Cumbria, revealing new insights into this iconic part of Britain. The Lake District is the biggest national park in England. Made famous by poet William Wordsworth, its rugged beauty holds a unique place in British life. But it's also at the heart of many crucial issues facing the world - from development to sustainability and climate change. In this episode, Simon meets some of the Cumbrian characters with different visions for the future of England's biggest National Park, including a campaign group trying to protect the remaining red squirrel populations, a traditional farmer who feels that his ancient way of life is on the point of extinction and an 18-year-old student who, following the recent deaths of both parents, now runs a 1500-acre farm.
