Somerset: Wonder of the West Country S01E03 - Episode 3
Summary:
This time, we go through the keyhole to see how the other half live in upmarket Bath, in one of its most desirable multi-million-pound properties on the stunning, and famously luxurious Great Pulteney Street.
We witness the world-famously picturesque Georgian town being overtaken by thousands of costumed Jane Austen fans from all over the world.
We head out on to the spectacularly rugged and beautiful Exmoor to follow the annual pony ‘gathering' as David and Emma Wallis attempt to round up the largest herd of wild native Exmoor ponies in from the moors for an annual health check - easier said than done when you're dealing with animals that have been running wild on the moors for millennia.
We meet the gardeners of Hestercombe House who are undertaking an extraordinary challenge to renovate the stunning historic gardens in precise detail using original paintings from the past. This once forgotten and lost landscape has been transformed into one of Somerset's most admired gardens.
We visit a fancy farm shop that's a destination for doughnut lovers to see how they make their award-winning sweet treats. And we take a peek at some of the county's most unique vintage holiday properties: from a former train carriage converted into a drop-dead gorgeous holiday home, to a double-decker bus glamping experience, and even an unforgettable UFO.
