Escape to the Country – Season 18

Alistair Appleton is on a country property hunt in Cumbria with a triathlete couple armed with £400,000. They need a family home for them and their three children before the new school term starts. While in the area, Alistair also visits Stott Park Bobbin Mill, the last working example in the UK, and learns the important role it played supplying a quarter of a million bobbins every week to the Victorian cotton mills of Lancashire.
