Rick Stein's Cornwall

Series 2: Episode 4

Cornwall has more than its fair share of folktales. Perhaps the most famous is found near Land’s End, where Rick recounts the tale of the Mermaid of Zennor.\n\nA short distance away, Rick joins a small army of seaweed harvesters who are feeding an increasing appetite for a natural food more common in Japan. Further inland is a racetrack that is home to some of the best Cornish banger-and-stock car racing drivers. And high up on bleak Bodmin Moor, Rick meets a man who makes extraordinary knives from old vehicles.
