From the forest floor to the canopy above, Charlotte Smith and John Craven uncover the hidden magic that thrives in Wiltshire’s woodlands in autumn.
John takes to the Kennet and Avon Canal to meet the volunteers keeping the waterways clear and safe. Charlotte explores the ancient woods with people devoted to protecting them - from foresters and conservationists to artists and ecologists, each with a special connection to the landscape. She also meets some of the woodlands' wild residents, including one of Britain’s most elusive mammals - the dormouse.
Meanwhile, in Bedfordshire, Adam Henson joins a remarkable flock as they prepare to take part in a centuries-old tradition - the annual sheep drive across the Thames.
