Susan tours the north of England, sticking to Yorkshire, where stunning Dales scenery and surprising local traditions await. She explores dragon boat racing on the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, escapes mock beheading in Kirkby Malzeard, and visits England's highest single-drop waterfall. The presenter also tastes Wensleydale cheese, joins renegade knitters, rides Britain's oldest tramway, and ends in Bradford with fairy photos, and Wallace and Gromit themselves.
The presenter is on a road trip around the borders, the east coast and Edinburgh. After visiting Scotland's National Museum of Flight, she takes a look at the Union Bridge, which straddles the border between Scotland and England. At Edinburgh's Surgeon's Hall, Susan hears of the inspiration for the world's most famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. She also explores the historic fishing port of Musselburgh.
