Last year's event went according to seeding with top two Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic reaching the final. Spaniard Nadal lifted the famously huge trophy after outwitting his Serbian opponent in two tight sets and went on to win Wimbledon itself three weeks later. 

British hopes of a finalist this year rest with Andy Murray, who won his first-ever match on the ATP Tour at Queen's four years ago as an 18-year-old - could this be the tournament where he clinches his first-ever title on grass?

After seeing Richmond, Julia crosses the vale between the Dales and the North York Moors.

Documentary series. After visiting Richmond, Julia Bradbury crosses the vale between the Dales and her last National Park, the North York Moors.

Julia Bradbury follows in the footsteps of legendary guidebook writer Alfred Wainwright by walking across the whole of northern England from the west to the east coast .

This was Wainwright's last great venture and has become his greatest legacy - a beautifully simple proposition, linking three national parks that lie between the Irish and the North Sea. 

36 years after its creation, Julia is off, through sunshine, wind and rain to cross the changing landscape, understand the history and meet the people that make up almost 200 miles of northern England.   

The historic town of Richmond is the starting point for the longest section of Julia's adventure. The country-loving Wainwright unusually singled out this town as one of his highlights, insisting that followers take time to peruse its castle and medieval streets. 

Miles and miles of flat walking await as Julia sets off across the broad vale between the Dales and her last National Park. The reward is the rugged escarpment of the North York Moors, offering the broadest views, and for Julia the finest weather of her entire journey.
