Spring's often the time for the UK's legion of 'staycationers' to get their caravans back out on the road - and Matt is exploring Morecambe Bay with caravan in tow.

He's helping to celebrate 100 years of caravanning and discovers that the pastime is experiencing a renaissance.

Matt takes his caravan to Archers Red Bank Farm, renowned for its Salt Marsh Lamb and also its popular campsite.  

It's run by three brothers who are passionate about farming but who say their business couldn't have prospered without welcoming campers and caravanners onto their land.

Ellie is exploring the science of spring. 

First, she meets Kim Walker who is studying for a PhD in the history of medicine and teaches Ellie about properties found in the plants of the forest; how elder leaves can prevent bruising, and stickyweed can help with skin conditions. 

Then Ellie hops aboard a narrowboat where Kim and Vicky Chown run the ‘Floating Apothecary’. 

Vicky shows Ellie how to distil essential oil from lemon balm leaves, using a giant copper contraption.

Adam meets up with one of the UK’s top chefs to sample some of the best spring produce on the market. 

Multi-award-winning Michael Wignall is famed for his respect of food and for using local and seasonal produce. 

Michael shows Adam where he sources his meat and where he forages for all sorts of spring produce that mother nature offers at this time of year. 

In return, Adam teaches Michael how to fly fish at a local fishery where the chef sources his rainbow trout – but is he as talented with a rod as he is in a kitchen?

Spring has sprung at Fernhill Farm in the Mendips and it’s time for the resident Shetlands to get a trim. 

Jen Hunter and Andy Wear, who run the farm, use the wool to work with other locals to create a local cloth. 

Andy shows John a special method of hand-shearing, with blade scissors. This method is great because it leaves the sheep with a protective layer of wool. Jen cleans the wool, and then it goes to Babs Behan who uses spring flowers and plants to dye the wool.  

John hears how the locally sourced and dyed wool is then spun, a few miles away in the first industrial loom to open in Bristol in 100 years.

Stephen Dalton is a pioneering macro high speed photographer who captured the first images of insects in flight over 40 years ago. 

Now 82 years old, Stephen lives in rural Sussex with his wife, Liz. 

Here, he continues his passion for photography either in his studio or in his beloved woodland, which he has been managing and rewilding over the past 20 years.

Steve heads to Pulborough Brooks RSPB Reserve in West Sussex on a quest to encounter some of the rare migrant birds that are just starting to arrive in the UK - such as swallows, chiffchaffs and black caps. 

Then, as he wanders through a woodland, he spots a bird unlike any he’s seen before...it’s made entirely of paper! 

Steve meets Lisa Lloyd, a paper-based artist who creates 3D paper sculptures inspired by nature. Lisa shows Steve how these marvellous creations are made...
