BBC One - Countryfile, Weird and Wonderful

Ellie Harrison is in the Cotswolds to visit the eccentric folly Broadway Tower. 

Ellie Harrison is in the Cotswolds to visit the eccentric folly Broadway Tower. Also, a look back through the Countryfile archive to encounters with unusual events in the countryside.

Day in, day out, our countryside is a hive of activity. Farmers grow our food, while guardians nurture our nature and wildlife. But you don’t have to dig too deep to discover the weird and the wonderful, as Ellie Harrison finds out. She is in the Cotswolds to visit Broadway Tower, a folly which sums up British eccentricity. 

And there is a look back through the archive to encounters with the more unusual events taking place in the countryside - such as the time Anita Rani met the farmer growing a crop of chairs, and when Margherita Taylor made microscopic art from nature.
