Where is Countryfile visiting this week and what time is it on BBC1?

This week, away from Hampshire's busy ports and harbours, Matt Baker and Charlotte Smith meet the people working to find, protect and celebrate the county's less-well-known wildlife.


One of the BBC's most popular programmes, Countryfile airs weekly on BBC One and reports on rural, agricultural and environmental issues in the UK.

Launched in 1988, Countryfile replaced the long-running show Farming with the aim of covering a broader view of the countryside. John Craven is the show's longest-standing presenter, working on the programme for more than 35 years after joining the show in 1989.

Regular presenters also include Matt Baker, Anita Rani, Tom Heap and Adam Henson. Plus, Sean Fletcher, Hamza Yassin, Joe Crowley, Charlotte Smith, Margherita Taylor, Vick Hope and Steve Brown also appear on the show.

Here is our weekly TV guide to Countryfile, including what's coming up on the show and what time it airs on BBC One.

What was on BBC Countryfile last week?

In last week's episode, Anita Rani continued her road trip along England's east coast, stopping to explore the Naze, a nature reserve in north-east Essex, famed for its migrating birds and fast-eroding coastal cliffs, which reveal ancient fossils.

Anita joined a group of fossil hunters to head out in search of clues of the area's fascinating history. She also found out more about the work being done to preserve the heritage of the region, and visited one of over a thousand brightly coloured beach huts overlooking the North Sea.
