Dumfries House

Charlotte Smith and Hamza Yassin travel to Dumfries House, a showcase for the King's passion for rural life.

Charlotte meets schoolchildren at the estate's education farm and garden to find out about the King's ambition to create the next generation of nature-loving food producers. Charlotte also looks into the King's mission to reinvigorate traditional crafts.

Hamza discovers how the 2,000-acre estate has been transformed to help wildlife and welcomes the newest residents to the walled garden – hedgehogs. And organic farmer Elizabeth Buchanan, who was agriculture and environment advisor to Charles III, reveals how she travelled across the country with the King as he experienced for himself working rural life, supporting small family farms and helping to protect countryside communities.

Meanwhile, Joe and Hazel Relph talk about how they came to host Charles III in their farmhouse after the foot and mouth crisis of 2001.
