Malham to Greenhead

Episode 2 of 3

Mark Radcliffe travels from Malham to Greenhead near Hadrian's Wall. He visits the Wensleydale Creamery to find out how they make Wallace and Gromit's favourite cheese.

In 1965, after 30 years of campaigning led by the rambler Tom Stephenson, the Pennine Way was officially opened on Malham Moor in the Yorkshire Dales. Stretching from Edale in Derbyshire to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish borders, the 268 mile route has attracted tens of thousands of walkers over the intervening years.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary this year, Mark Radcliffe travels the route and meets up with poets, folk musicians, historians and local people along the way.

In the second of three programmes, Mark travels from Malham to the village of Greenhead near Hadrian's Wall. He visits the Wensleydale Creamery to find out how they make Wallace and Gromit's favourite cheese and goes in search of Britain's highest pub. He meets up with Teesside folk group The Young'uns, who give a rousing performance of the Graeme Miles' song 'Jack Ironside'.

Producer: Elizabeth Foster/Presenter: Mark Radcliffe.
