Nicholas Crane grew up in Norfolk, and now returns to see if it is possible to swap urban life for a rural dream. On his journey through the region, he discovers how the countryside has changed, and looks for a perfect slice of English country life. Along the way he meets those who have left the city behind for a new life working in north Norfolk, joins a self-sufficient community in Suffolk and finds out how farmer Mark Saggers has restored a piece of working Cambridgeshire countryside back to the ways of the last century.
