Series 6: 6. Gloucestershire
Jonnie Irwin returns to visit past Escape to the Country house-hunters who, back in 2016, were looking to relocate to Gloucestershire. The first stop is with an entrepreneurial couple at their rural retreat. Here Jonnie is almost lost for words when he discovers how they’ve branched out from their original glamping business plans to create a spectacular tree house. Jonnie also checks in on a pair of retirees at their new countryside home and is persuaded to have his picture taken by a group of enthusiastic amateur photographers.
