The Bakery Bears Picnic - Episode 1 - Danby Hall (Patreon)

Welcome to the very first episode of ‘The Bakery Bears Picnic’! If you have followed us on any of our previous travels around Great Britain we hope you will love this brand new show. Each episode we will take you on a walk somewhere in the UK, on the course of that walk we will see wildlife, landscapes, try some traditional local food, have a little knit and discover hidden histories of the locations we discover.

In this first episode we start where we began our ‘Favourite Places’ series way back in 2014. But this time, instead of enjoying one of our favourite places in the whole world, Jervaulx Abbey, we’re going to leave it behind and head off into the surrounding country side.
