Caroline Quentin's National Parks - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Loch Lomond / Trossachs
In episode one, Caroline visits Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, nestled in the South-West of Scotland. The park sits on the boundary between the highlands and the lowlands and it's an area steeped in the very best of Scottish lochs, scenery, wildlife and history. It is the largest national park in Scotland, stretching over 700 square miles.
Snowdonia National Park
This week, Caroline is in Wales at the Snowdonia National Park, best known for its spectacular scenery covering over 800 square miles of North Wales' mountains, valleys, forests and coasts. Mount Snowdon is the tallest mountain in Wales and climbing and hiking are popular activities. But the mountains are so beautiful that it's easy to forget they can also be treacherous.
New Forest National Park
This week, Caroline is in the New Forest for the final programme of the series. Placed between the counties of Hampshire and Wiltshire, William the Conqueror discovered the New Forest over 900 years ago. It is known for its ancient woods, open heaths, beautiful coastline and abundance of wild animals. Although at just 218 square miles, it is one of the smallest of the 15 National Parks.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
