Radio 4 Friday 11:00 The Long Winter
Edi Stark travels to some of the most remote and windswept parts of Britain and asks how centuries of struggle against bitter cold, darkness and hunger have shaped our surroundings and way of life.
In the Cairngorms, the Durham Dales and looking out to the North Sea, Edi explores the history of the British winter, visits ancient buildings, walks the fields and hills that surround them and hears the stories of those who endured the hardship of winters past.
