Episode 14 of 15

Rick explores the history of West Penwith, the most westerly place in mainland England. Later, he follows an ancient track in search of Cornwall鈥檚 oldest building.

West Penwith is as far west as it is possible to go in mainland England. Rick explores its rich and diverse history, from Lamorna Cove, made famous through song and art, to the UNESCO-protected tin and copper mining area of Botallack, where Rick talks with a mining explorer.

With the Atlantic sea mist enveloping the landscape, Rick follows an ancient track in search of Cornwall鈥檚 oldest building. And from the safety of his kitchen, Rick tells us how, as a young lad on the Lizard Peninsula, he fell in love for the first time and tasted his first exotic French fish stew, known as a bouillabaisse.
