Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages (2014)

Episode Overview

Penelope Keith embarks on a journey through North Yorkshire, renowned as England's largest county and often referred to as 'God's own country' for its stunning dales, moors, and rugged coastline. In the isolated village of Upper Swaledale, she enjoys the unique local dialect. Her next stop is Cracoe, known for its appearance in the film Calendar Girls. Exploring the North York Moors, she witnesses Viking sword dances in Goathland, visits the once-promising seaside resort of Ravenscar, and uncovers the mysteries of Captain Cook's early life in Great Ayton. Penelope then soars above Brompton-by-Sawdon before concluding her adventure at the artistic haven of Staithes.
