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 is on BBC Countryfile this week?

Adam Henson visits young farmers navigating the challenges and rewards of producing our food. This week, he’s near Malham in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park meeting 34-year-old cattle and sheep farmer Frank Carr.

Whilst checking on the newly born lambs, Frank explains to Adam that the landscape is as unforgiving as it is beautiful, and its unpredictable conditions can have a significant impact on his flock, especially during the winter months. Adam hears how since going into partnership with his dad, Frank has significantly expanded the cattle herd and taken on a large amount of debt. For the business to work, Frank’s plan is to produce high-quality beef and sell it at a premium.

Adam also looks back through the Countryfile archives, revisiting some of the inspirational farmers we have met from across the UK
