Presenters Matt Baker and Ellie Harrison visited East Devon earlier this month to film an episode of Countryfile.

It will be broadcast on Sunday 30 January at 5.10pm and focus on Clinton Devon Estates, the largest privately owned estate in the county - which has belonged to the same family for over 700 years.

Viewers will see Matt visit a dairy farm to learn about how it all works, and the 1,000-year-old Otterton Mill to meet the family who runs it.

Meanwhile, Ellie will visit the Lower Otter Restoration Project and meet with tenant farmers.

The Pebblebed Heaths National Nature Reserve will also feature.

Estates Director John Varley, said: "We are very proud of the hard work and commitment of all of our team and it is fantastic to see that showcased on such a large, national stage.

"It was fascinating to watch the crews in action and to see how they do things behind the scenes. The whole team is very much looking forward to watching the programme this Sunday."
