Matt Baker and Julia Bradbury explore the Wye Valley, a dramatic limestone gorge where Wales meets England. The Wye Valley is home to some of the most outstanding native woodlands in Britain, and Julia takes to the water to explore the picturesque landscape that earned the Wye its reputation as the birthplace of British tourism. Meanwhile, Matt goes deep underground to look for one special ingredient that still makes the artist's pallet come alive. James Wong visits Scotland to examine the enthusiasm for that iconic Spring flower - the snowdrop. And John Craven investigates how, 24 years after the disaster of Chernobyl, British farmers are still struggling with nuclear fall-out. On Adam Henson's farm, there is tension as his cattle undergo testing for tuberculosis. Testing for the disease is a regular part of farming life in the Cotswolds, and Adam is not feeling optimistic.
