The Lakes with Simon Reeve
Channel: BBC Earth (DStv 184)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Nature
Covering almost a thousand square miles, the Lake District is the biggest national park in England.
Visited by 20-million people each year, the vast and rugged landscape holds a unique place in British life.
Windermere is the largest body of fresh water in England, and Scafell Pike the highest mountain.
There's incredible wildlife too, and a strong movement to return much more of the park to its original, forested and wilder form.
But 40,000 people also live within the park's borders, most of them earning a living from tourism, hospitality and farming.
What feels like a timeless and serene landscape, where Wordsworth once wandered among the daffodils, is actually a complex and fascinating living environment, with competing interests impacted by issues like environmentalism, the decline of traditional industries, and soaring house prices.
Over three episodes, Simon will use the Lake District as a springboard to explore the fascinating and remote county it sits in.
Stretching from Lancashire to the Scottish Borders, Cumbria is a unique and beautiful county which can sometimes feel cut off, and ignored by the rest of the country.
It's a place of genuine extremes, where the world's largest nuclear processing facility looks out on one of the biggest offshore wind farms in Europe, and is home to proud industrial towns like Barrow.
Following his success in uncovering hidden Cornwall, in this series Simon will meet the people of Cumbria in all their variety, from submarine workers to hill farmers and, with his trademark mix of warmth and humour, bring the Sunday night audience revealing new insights into a part of Britain we all thought we knew.
In the series premiere: Simon travels through the glorious Lake District National Park and the county of Cumbria.
With its magnificent mountains, glacial valleys and 16 iconic lakes and meres, the Lake District is one of the great natural wonders of Great Britain.
But huge changes are sweeping through this ancient landscape.
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.
