Sara Davies
A gentle walk in nature is the perfect tonic for businesswoman and Dragons' Den investor, Sara Davies. Spring is in the air as Sara explores the lush Swinton Estate in North Yorkshire, A keen walker, Sara often rambles with family and friends near her Teesside home.
In this programme, she is accompanied only by a 360-degree camera, breathtaking landscapes and her thoughts. Sara opens up about the challenges she faced as a young businesswoman. She reveals the unexpected impact of participating in Strictly Come Dancing and reflects on the importance of family support. Sara gently navigates through pastures, villages and bluebell woods and meets the people who know the area intimately: a local farmer, the last in the village, whose family worked the landscape for generations; Lord and Lady Swinton, who are today charged with the upkeep and preservation of the country estate; and a local entrepreneurial farmer with a new business venture to pitch to Sara.
During a visit to the picturesque St Paul's Church in Healey, Sara takes a moment to reflect on communities bound together by faith and their local place of worship. Late afternoon sunshine gives way to rain showers and magnificent rainbows, a dramatic setting for the closing moments of Sara's walk. As a full-time working mum in business and broadcasting, Sara discusses motherhood and her heartfelt reflections on life and family.
Nina Wadia
The Yorkshire Dales National Park provides the perfect backdrop for comedian and actor Nina Wadia as she explores a rich landscape and expresses deep thoughts. Nina unwinds and reflects in the dramatic spring setting of Swaledale. A keen walker, Nina has travelled the world, but her first trip to the Yorkshire Dales has a profound effect.
She captures her moments carrying a 360-degree camera. Nina reveals personal family challenges, including the loss of her parents, in emotive scenes. Starting her walk in the quaint village of Muker, Nina is greeted throughout by local faces. An ornithologist shows her some of the rarer bird species found in the area, and a mum and child out walking the fells provide a family perspective on living in the Dales. Nina also tests her skills in a new language when she meets a village elder who speaks ‘Swardle', the historic local dialect.
The stunning circular walking route takes Nina through lush, flowering, hay meadows of special scientific interest, past rivers and waterfalls, and over valleys and fell tops with 20 miles of views of the Dales. Nina's natural warmth and humour punctuate her candid revelations and experiences. In a closing scene at sunset, Nina expresses a deep sense of peace and gratitude following her solitary springtime walk in Swaledale.
