Up Country [30/05/1990] (Up Country)
Rare red squirrels are not shy of Pendragon, home of legendary kings and bursting with wildlife.
Pendragon Castle is a Cumbrian ruin dating back to the 12th century. Legend has it that the castle was built by Uther, the father of King Arthur, famed for his Knights of the Round Table. However, as Uther (if he even existed) would have lived around 700 years before the castle was built, it is likely just a local fiction.

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.
