Bolton Abbey

The programme ventures to Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire, where John Craven, Hamza Yassin and guest judge Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock choose the final 12 images for the 2026 Countryfile Calendar, raising money for BBC Children in Need.

Hamza also steps out to explore the spectacular landscape around the abbey and meet those working to safeguard the local wildlife. He also meets the great-great-granddaughter of a pioneering wildlife photographer - before turning his own camera on the nature around Bolton Abbey.
