Fife
In the historic kingdom of Fife, Matt Baker explores Tentsmuir forest and Helen Skelton is at Falkland Palace. Tom Heap investigates a controversial issue - culling badgers.
In the historic kingdom of Fife, Matt Baker explores Tentsmuir forest, a haven for wildlife where the artist in residence has set up a virtual trail so that any visitor is guaranteed to see badgers, otters and other animals which make their home in the forest. Helen Skelton is at Falkland Palace which was once the playground of royalty in the 16th century. Mary Queen of Scots would once have gone hunting and hawking there and the oldest surviving real tennis court is still seeing some action - not least when Helen takes on Mary in a singles match. Tom Heap is across the Irish Sea investigating one of the most controversial issues in the countryside, culling badgers. The cull in England to reduce the spread to bovine TB may be new but in Ireland they've been doing it for years.
