Logo for Britain's Best Drives - Lake District

Actor Richard Wilson takes a journey into the past, following routes raved about in motoring guides of 50 years ago. Richard drives a sporty, convertible Triumph TR3A around some of the Lake District's most famous roads. He gets the low down on the area from author and resident Hunter Davies, takes on a notorious road, celebrates his birthday at one of Britain's highest pubs, and learns how climate change is affecting this delicate landscape.
