River Wharfe

Clare Balding heads to one of her favourite stretches of water, the River Wharfe, which runs through the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Her journey takes her past chocolate box villages, through the magical Bolton Abbey estate - home to one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the country - and to spectacular Harewood House, before ending on the banks of the river in Wetherby, where Clare is serenaded by a Yorkshire brass band.
