At the heart of Cornwall lie the rocky uplands of Bodmin Moor, home to the county’s highest point. A wild landscape of moorland, granite tors and waterfalls, Bodmin Moor has been an inspiration for myths and legends for centuries and is home to prehistoric settlements, standing stones and mines bearing a wealth of raw materials.\n\nMatt Baker and Charlotte Smith explore Cornwall’s rich history and its wild present by seeing how this National Landscape, a windswept terrain scarred by its industrial past, is gearing up to welcome back wildlife. Matt tracks down some newly arrived native pigs, part of a project to rewild the landscape, and helps out first-time farmers milking their herd of goats. Charlotte meanwhile hears about plans to return beasts to Bodmin, in the form of wildcats, and we delve into Cornish folklore by exploring the places behind local legends.\n\nAdam Henson heads to Northern Ireland to meet up with young farmer Emily as she looks to diversify her family farm. Joe Crowley investigates why the UK is not planting enough trees?
