Pam starts her journey in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water. It's a place where the River Windrush flows through the centre of the village, earning it the title of `the Venice of the Cotswolds'.
Pam takes a leisurely trip along the Kennet and Avon Canal, a waterway that helps link Bristol in the west with London in the east. Once the M4 motorway of its day, the Kennet and Avon fell into decline with the arrival of the railways.
Pam hops aboard one of the locomotives of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway; Pam visits a potter's workshop in the village of Winchcombe and learns how to throw clay to make a ceramic bowl.
Pam starts with a walk on the wild side in the Oxfordshire town of Burford. She goes behind the scenes at the Cotswold Wildlife Park, a place she's been visiting for decades.
After managing to secure privileged private access to Stonehenge, Pam heads to the ancient stone circle to check out one of Britain's most special places.
Pam's journey begins outside of the Cotswolds at Highclere Castle, one of Britain's most recognisable stately homes and the setting for Downton Abbey. She learns more about Highclere's gardens, designed by Capability Brown.
