East Midlands

Escape to the Country – Season 18

Margherita Taylor travels through the countryside of the East Midlands with a couple who want to invest their £650,000 budget in a character property which has space for their young family and gives them a balance between leading 'the good life' and nearby train connections back to London for work. Along the way, Margherita visits a Leicestershire dairy farm, where a husband-and-wife duo have diversified and revived a 300-year-old recipe for the region's most famous cheese, red leicester, making them the only producers of Leicester cheese made with unpasteurised milk in the county.
