forest a visit to a stone new thing is the national park. but we start off the show with a visit to a region that runs through five counties in england caught near the border with wales now this is an area recognised for its outstanding natural beauty which has been enjoyed by people even as far back as the roman empire while much of the aesthetics have remained the same through the present day. corner of southern england. tolkien is said to have been inspired by the area's landscapes in architecture for his novel the lord of the rings. villages such as by barrie with its seventeenth century cottages and a lovely street called arlington row and burton on the water nicknamed the venice of the cotswolds attract hordes of tourists every year.

the area's gardens are also a big tourist destination especially court gardens. things grow very well and we're lucky with the climate i mean we have good soil and then. cold winters but not very cold and then warm but not very wholesome plants respond very well. court gardens is the creation of three generations of women gardeners and chambers gave up a job in london to return here a few years ago. the gardens are some of the few private guards to be open to the general public. visitors particularly like the exotic plants that thrive here because of the mild climate in the. it's always been a farming community so most of looked after the hedges and the fields of beautifully kept and people have planted lots of trees it's just. the heights of

use the very attractive as well in the villages. that sort of this sort of. goes very well in the. just think it is we're just very lucky to live in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the cotswolds was designated an area of outstanding natural beauty incidentally one that the romans also exploded. because these hills are so sort of healthy and so the romans came over and they. graze sheep all of the cotswolds and it was a produce the wool for the whole roman empire. elizabeth cohen lives it suddenly cancelled not far from which come. the castle dates back to the fifteenth century and was possibly built on the site of a twelfth century castle. it's one of the few castles in britain that is still a residence but it's open to the public to. over the centuries the castle passed in

and out of the hands of the crown. henry v. six the wife is buried in the chapel. his last wife catherine pa. after henry died married thomas seymour who then in the casa and this was her home and this is where she lived and died and she's buried here in the church in the garden. a perfect day out in the english countryside almost always includes a good old cup of tea. for example here at badgers hall in shipping have them. they can be enjoyed it any time of the day with or without milk and preferably

accompanied by dainty cucumber sandwiches or scones with strawberry jam and lashings of clotted cream. i think it is injured you. because. for instance seventeenth century it was too long before between lunch and dinner. so. decided he should have a few sweet treats. and then i think it's just grab. what you see today. broadway tower is one of the most popular sites in the cotswolds it's over sixteen metres tall and provides a wonderful view of the surroundings but originally it had no real purpose. the road or tell us on folly folly is rotting away tower is a finally come because this dates back to the eighteenth century in english architecture or when a construction just expressed

a love of life. or months or it was a romantic idea to do something completely crazy to show one's wealth but also just for fun. to do something that had no point to or use. today it makes perfect sense to climb broadway towers on a clear day visitors can see across thirteen counties and if you have the cotswolds the heart of england is simply an beautiful. well of that wasn't enough walking for you then how about hiking the way of st james now this is one of the oldest and best known pilgrimages in europe covering hundreds of kilometers there are many different routes that one can follow from dublin paris or cologne just to name a few now some people actually walk for weeks before reaching their final destination others cycle or ride on horseback where sounds like the most fun option

to me actually but the objective is to recent cathedral in the spanish town of de compostela and even though it began as a religious journey of sacrifice and penance for christians it has since evolved into a personal challenge of sorts. we have come to the province of lay on the northwestern spain. maya circa and their two children have been up since seven am today they want to walk twenty six kilometers along the famous way have said james. i'm fine. with it first it's unusual but you get used to it and everything seems to slow down. a lot of work or the house grinds people down but here it's peaceful and quiet and this past puts you under a spell everyone's headed in the same direction again you don't see that often in life namely the camino is the final stretch of the way of sin james

a european pilgrimage network scallop symbolize the roots and keep pilgrims on track to santiago de compostela the destination in western. that's where martine my and their daughters are headed walking three hundred kilometers in three weeks at temperatures of thirty five degrees celsius in the shade is a challenging experience but it's also liberating. welnick often can mean of late on the camino you realize that everything's not as hard as it may seem. life can be a burden sometimes hard work all of. you have plenty of time to think about yourself and your daily life because you have a break from it all the hurt you the only burden you have is your backpack was lost . pilgrimages give people something they missed in everyday life more than two hundred fifty thousand people took this in james's way in two thousand and fifteen

almost three times as many as ten years ago the pilgrimage is a way to find life's real meaning. a necessary accessory is the pilgrimage a passport get stamps that ends in churches on the way if you've walked at least one hundred kilometers your receive a pilgrimage document in santiago de compostela. this is even worse then at first you see there stamping people's documents and you want one. word but at some point your pilgrimage passport is so full you only take the stamps that are especially beautiful. the increasing stream of pilgrims has increased prosperity in many remote villages on the camino and new lodgings for pilgrims have opened my own martina matilda instead a hostel it may be plain but for many people simplicity is an educational experience. and when the whole the calm when you come home you're not another

person but you do know that you can get by on less you don't need a lot of things. on partly because everything you need for the day can be carried on your back three to go through the door the next day the trend continues westward toward santiago de compostela one step after the other in the search for the meaning of life. and now it's over to switzerland for a swiss tavola now the word is italian for festive table and implies the coming together of friends for a feast well the swiss have adopted this idea from their autonomy neighbors in order to welcome taurus to their rural farms and give them a chance to sample the local colin neary traditions so we found some well decked tables in the area around band. the setting is a billet the swiss alps and all vented waiting to find out how the locals live is

with the swiss top alotta tourists can book a meal at a farm and gain insight into daily life that bond enjoying for regional cuisine. for example at attica henny's she always uses quality projects taking as much as possible from her own farm. help second i guess i love having guests it's a great way for us to tell people about agriculture inviting them to our beautiful house and showing them what great food we can make from regional produce staticky on finest. she does it about once a month receiving up to twelve guests at a time who have to book via the internet today she's serving brunch. the swiss potatoes speciality whiskey is on the menu.

as well as cheese freshly baked bread. and homemade jam. some of the guests of never been to a working farm before the house is over two hundred fifty years old. before the meal the visitors get a guided tour of the house tells more about her life on the farm but she's also curious about how guests. this is in this fish pond it's always very interesting how people come to my house that i would otherwise not meet i talk to people that i usually wouldn't come in contact with that if you don't sneak back aikman. brunch at atic a hen is costs about forty euros not a bargain but perfectly reasonable for high quality fresh produce that's impossible to find in the supermarket and guests are happy. i went to the swiss teletype because i think it's interesting to see how someone cooks

using ingredients from their own garden or from the region called the huatulco here i've never been there for. it but it's fascinating to see where all the food comes from east you see were introduced what it was you were a vegetable or goal to rid of look that in the in the eating these products full of a very special quality you know cannot be bought in the stores and the call from concord wodehouse. latter was launched in twenty fourteen over forty farms are taking part and guests can make reservations online. signed up right at the stops stephanie fellow yaba used to work as a sign writer she moved here with her husband marty s. in two thousand and twelve it took her some time to get used to live life on the farm. but now she wants to show others how enjoyable it can be to live in the

country. of the lloyd. people really love it here. this is probably what they miss in the city of seeing where the food they eat really comes from. and the view out. there and. she's making a stew with all can it be from her own cattle apples leaks and bacon it would be difficult to find such a dish in a restaurant i'm stephanie has added her own personal touch to the traditional swiss recipe. with an effort to make them through small and fresh juice from our albums. i can't eat in fact all the ingredients come from right here on our farm.

before the main meal traditional appetit is served with local cheese and cold cuts . the place is down to earth and very authentic. the guests love it. there's a nice warm feeling like being in somebody's home a human. being the main indices he would say to the feast i think it's great to get to know the traditions of the country to somebody who now had cannons so when. it's time for the main coals. it's the mt yeah even what's my motivation. i like staying connected to the people who aren't farmers that i enjoy the discussions is please and showing people who are interested in what we do here every day our daily work on our land. to do so to see a. regional swiss cuisine served by farmers in their own farms

a very special experience for both hosts and guests. and the effort to reverse the negative effects of climate change many say the planners along with architects have been looking at ways to bring more greenery to city centers and now we've seen an increase in rooftop gardens or garden landscapes that take up the entire side of buildings in the meantime residents in the italian city of turn can experience what it is like to live in scotland in trades and this is all thanks to italian architect louis challenge and his environmentally friendly project called twenty five green. event teaching corvair the apartment building in turin is a green urban treehouse of sorts one hundred fifteen parts containing different kinds of trees are scattered over all five stories its architect who channel peers

vision of ecological architecture there what we're trying to keep the materials as natural as possible materials that are mostly untreated so they age and change with the passage of time such as natural large word and the steel that rust and gradually changes its appearance. combined with the green and the trees it has an attractive coherence. another example of green architecture can be found in milan to high rise buildings called the bus covered college or vertical forest by the architect stefano boy. they won the twenty fourteen international high rise award. in paris landscape architect patrick long has been designing vertical gardens for over ten years his living room walls also inhabit the capon the museum designed by sean the vet but it takes more than green facades to make truly green sustainable

architecture. then teaching called verities courtyard encompasses a little forest of some fifty trees they enrich the air with oxygen and keep it cool in summer with their shade in winter after they drop their lives they let sunlight through to the apartments below. because of the i can see the building to consume less energy it's very well insulated and protected from the sun during the summer right that is that the windows are very big so they let a great deal of langton and that lets people save electricity as well. we collect all the rainwater for the plants. we use energy saving geothermal energy for heating and cooling. the residents enjoy living among the trees and greenery each of these sixty three apartments has a floor plan of its own little two miles so one of the main reason for we try both

the cells at risk is this window you can see here when you see these with windows open you can feel outside and inside the apartment be in the same place the simplest were to leave work to share your time with your family and friends i love this house because i feel myself inside. little environment but at the same time the center of the. story and i feel myself inside. the nature. channel pia is already involved in other projects one of them is a hotel for the renowned your betters turin soccer club it will also sport plenty of green but it won't be as luxurious as the venti cinquera farraday. variants a project that's meant to be provocative. with all the green in and around the building. and the steel structures imitating nature. are meant to get people

ready for a far more extensive inclusion of greenery in buildings to come from. the event for a very residential complex is a unique piece of architecture and an inspiration for future projects it's already a must see for architecture fans and students from all over. the. next up we're headed to a national park to experience nature in its purest form now this park about an hour's drive from the story in capital tallinn has remnants which date back to the ice age it's lightly off the beaten path but that didn't stop us from packing our bags for a little adventure. is nearly always a fresh breeze blowing here. national park some seventy kilometers east of the stony and capital the name means land. it's

a place to relax and enjoy a natural paradise spanning nearly seven hundred fifty square kilometers with rambling forests and boulders left over from the last years of the ice age it's a popular destination for daytrippers from tallinn and it's been a national park for over forty five years. all of the typical forest types of estonia are represented here is. the nature of untouched nature. local traditions and very high culture. one cultural highlight is pines a man or a grand mansion in the heart of la. many visitors start their day trips here. to broker a state and a mansion were completed in seven hundred eighty five they once belonged to the fonda palin family who would have german baltic origin their home has been reconstructed for visitors to see. it is one of four mansions in the national park

. they are completely different from peasant and small wooden houses that are a part of their life landscape but they stand out as large compounds that. even feel out of place at the southwestern area of the national park is home to one of its most popular destinations borg wouldn't like stretching some three kilometers enable you to explore the area about twenty percent of the stonier consists of bogs and marshland there are important wildlife reserves. for the typical species you can see here on those plant and and to stymie in a pine tree and and food and insects and they're willing unfortunately

many plants and are destroyed so the. need the protection of our money is stern ians that many bog pools a popular swimming in summer. little isn't just a magnet for nature lovers in general it's also a paradise for bird watchers. so if we're not i was here last year and it's just your nature not so many people not to develop not so many tourists i was so impressed i felt rested inwardly emotionally so i had to come back. i never saw that. nowhere in fact so it was surprising and very much this place. we leave you heading north bachelor park carson was a small fishing village with an impressive maritime past the village has produced sixty two ships captains throughout its history large vessels one set sail from here to cost more maritime museum run by all in the final can his wife tells all

about it the couple live in and for the museum. her. children were stronger so this is my mission it's a monument to my forefathers. and to all the men who once lived here and cost me that i missed it of course. the park has seventy two settlements some dating back several thousand years few of the houses are still fat just wooden buildings like these here in the fishing village of venus to a more typical. name afine still is in translation and english the village or for. the name itself is much older of course but the in twenty century many men finish that got very rich because of mark smuggling but the finland. there's enough drinking vodka is very vivid and alive in venus the village

but not smoking any more i hope. the perfect way to round off the day here is with nod and local fish speciality herring and salmon. but if you want to see the sunset you'll have to wait quite a while the days in summer are especially long. nothing wrong with that better than short cold winter day his head in with that we're out of time if you'd like to see the reports again then just go to our web site as always thanks for joining us and i see again soon. next time on your i'm back special underwater sculptures also coast of lance erotic . how many old ones are made every famous.
