At Golitha Falls, where the River Fowey tumbles down to the sea, Rick meets Dawn French, Britain’s queen of comedy, who has made Cornwall her home.\n\nIn the shadow of Devonport Dockyard, he boards the world’s busiest chain ferry to cross the wide River Tamar, the ancient watery boundary between the counties of Devon and Cornwall, where he discovers an unusual event involving an elephant from the circus. And in a small pocket of the county is a man who thinks he’s discovered the next superfood, which Rick uses to cook up a delicious duck dish.
