Take a behind the scenes look at Studley Royal Deer Park with keeper Ernest Kemp whose work keeps him on the hoof.

Studley Royal Deer Park is a landscaped deer park in North Yorkshire dating back to the 18th century. The Park was designed by John and William Aislabie, and is listed by UNESCO as "one of the most magnificent Georgian water gardens ever created". When the Aislabie's designed the Park, they were obliged to take into account the ruins of Fountains Abbey which was part of estate of their commissioner. Fortunately, they chose to keep it as a folly, where it continues to draw visitors.

The Rural North East

Flesh-eating plants, blonde hedgehogs and other natural marvels await in the rural North East.
Charles Boden is a farmer's son who read English at Oxford University before becoming an agricultural journalist. Keen to capture what he saw as a vanishing way of life in rural England, he moved to Tyne Tees Television in 1985 to produce programmes about farming, nature and rural traditions in the region. He is best known for his film 'The Last Horseman' which followed a year in the life of the last farm in Britain to still use horse power instead of machinery.
