Countryfile
The Chalk of the Chilterns
Season 2026
Matt Baker and Vick Hope explore the chalk landscapes of the Chilterns, where rare grasslands, seasonal streams and specialised wildlife all depend on the fragile ground. Matt meets farmers working together to reconnect these landscapes, while Vick visits a rare winterbourne stream that flows only after winter rains. Plus, Adam Henson welcomes a rare breed Middle White pig to his Cotswolds farm
Countryfile airs on BBC Two England at 6:55 AM, Sunday 10 May. (Subtitles, repeat.)
