A look at the people who live the rural life. Jane Treays visits cottages, manor houses and castles and sees how people live in them.

For almost 120 years, Country Life magazine has been the property bible for anyone looking to buy a grand country house. Jane Treays spent a year visiting cottages, manor houses and castles through the eyes of the magazine - and seeing how people live in them - from a crumbling historic mansion in Oxfordshire and a glorious Scottish estate basking in its 拢13 million refurbishment to the inherited turrets of Picton Castle in Wales, and the noisy environment of the huntsman's 18th-century kennels and cottage.
