A look at the flora and fauna in Yorkshire's Wensleydale, home to the curlew bird and to rare surprises like sea lampreys and peregrine falcons. There are pretty villages, wonderful waterfalls, rare flowers, wild fells and even wilder weather. Throughout it all flows one of the cleanest rivers in the country, the River Ure. But best of all, Wensleydale is the keeper of an ancient British recipe, not only for a natural way of life but also for one of the nation's favourite types of cheese.
