Wrest Park

Overview

John Craven is at Wrest Park in Bedfordshire to help with an ambitious 20-year restoration project to breathe new life into fabulous features that reflect fashions across three centuries, from statues to cascades and an 18th-century bath house. And it’s the perfect place for John to dip into the Countryfile archives, revisiting the occasions when Ellie Harrison helped to spruce up the Cerne Abbas Giant, Anita Rani mucked in to clear a toxic scrapyard in Shropshire, and Matt Baker rolled up his sleeves to help restore a 12th-century church in Herefordshire.
