Winter Walks: Series 1: Lemn Sissay

BBC Four - Winter Walks, Series 1, Lemn Sissay

Lemn Sissay journeys into a world of snow-capped hills, blue skies and birdsong.

Lemn Sissay takes a journey through Cumbria's Dentdale amid snow-capped hills, blue skies and birdsong. Filmed in March 2020 before Covid restrictions were introduced.

The picture-perfect setting of Cumbria’s Dentdale is the location for Lemn Sissay’s breathtaking journey into a world of snow-capped hills, blue skies and birdsong.

Starting high on the moorlands above Dent village, and carrying a 360-degree camera, Lemn walks along ancient drovers’ roads and the old postman’s path, with breathtaking winter views in every direction. Meeting locals, including a farmer who collects vintage tractors and a lone bagpiper, Lemn is inspired by the landscape and reflects on the power of being immersed in nature.

After a challenging climb to England’s highest mainline train station, Dent, Lemn reflects that he must find time to walk and explore the countryside more.

Filmed in March 2020 before Covid restrictions were introduced.
