This five-part series sees Josie setting off on a tour through the region’s richest flavours and finest producers, celebrating everything that makes the West Country tick – people, landscapes and seriously good food; thankfully, swapping bush tucker trials for proper Westcountry feasting.

With a whole episode (Ep 4) dedicated to our fine county, Josie dives straight into Devon life. She uncovers Dartmoor folklore at Hound Tor (with a well-earned pint at the <a href="https://oldexeterinn.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Old Exeter Inn</a>), then heads to <a href="https://www.dartmoorfarm.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Challacombe Farm</a> – an organic Dartmoor lamb farm where livestock is raised entirely on pasture across 300 hectares of land. Think farming as it used to be.

There’s action, too, as Josie joins the passionate crew at Brixham Gig Rowing Club to try her hand at the traditional coastal sport, before meeting Mitch Tonks of <a href="https://therockfish.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOoqTzNlfHqhnJpaxKjK4P_4lOAjhWw8V6GafzBZV02QbahLrf10c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rockfish</a> fame at his Devon fish market. And just to keep things deliciously competitive, Cornwall’s Paul Ainsworth pops up in the Devon episode too &#8211; so yes, we’re in for a proper West Country feast. 



After all that? Time for a glass of wine. Cue a visit to the beautiful <a href="https://sandridgebarton.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sandridge Barton</a> vineyard on the banks of the River Dart, home to Sharpham Wines.
