Escape to River Cottage Episode 1 of 6

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s dream of escaping the city sprawl and all its stresses and downshifting into rural Dorset is finally realised when he arrives at River Cottage in his 1960s Ford Corsair convertible. His year-long experiment, living off the fat of the land, and the sweet of his brow, involves a steep learning curve…and a lot of fun! Wrestling with free-spirited piglets, waking in the dead of night to protect his vegetable garden from a slug attack, and making cider from a windfall of apples all involve plenty of help form his friend and neighbours.
