An edition of the Tyne Tees Television rural life programme Up Country presented by Jessica Holm. In the first report from the River Till in North Northumberland a look at efforts that are being made to control the number of Common eels in the water to protect fish stocks. This is followed by a return to the now completed Causeway House in the heart of Northumberland National Park to see the finished restoration work carried out by The Landmark Trust including its unique thatched roof. After the break, Jessica meets Dr John Coulson from Durham University to learn more about why Kittiwakes nest in towns and cities visiting colonies in North Shields and at the Baltic Flour Mill along the Gateshead quayside. Finally, Jessica takes some lessons in sheepdog training from 15-year-old Vanessa Reed who has been competing in sheepdog trials since she was thirteen.
