The next episode of the BBC documentary series, A Wild Year, will delve into the history of the North York Moors.
What is the North York Moors episode about?
In the north east of England sits a wild and remote moorland, the vast heather-clad uplands and deep, sheltered valleys or dales are known as the North York Moors. Over the course of thousands of years, this breath-taking landscape has been formed by two elements: water and ice. More recently, people.
The isolated farms and buildings are spread across the highland. The episode will feature the Dale Head Farm, where the Barraclough family raise tough swaledale and cheviot sheep, which are animals bred for the moorland life. They are raised to be able to withstand being left out on the hill all year-round due to their intimate knowledge of their patch cultivated over many generations. Each flock is carried to the land.
