Episode 1

Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen and her family return for a new series, as they continue the monumental task of turning an abandoned farmhouse into a 21st-century home to secure their future in the Dales. Across the seasons, they take on life on the farm and the epic renovation of Anty John's - a dilapidated stone barn with an incredible history. In this episode, it's summer in Swaledale and the renovation of Anty John's is about to hit its one-year anniversary, with plenty of work still to do for Richard the builder and the Owen family. For the kids, the summer holidays mean picnics and playing in the stream, but with dad Clive laid low by a hip operation, they'll need to help out around the farm too. It's the perfect weather for Amanda and daughter Clemmie to set off on a horse ride in the sunshine from Ravenseat to Anty John's, while Clive, Reuben and Sid look for a spring to supply their water. Meanwhile, as summer turns to autumn, Richard's crew grapple with the challenge of extra work now that the Owens have permission to extend their new home into the adjacent barn - and there's excitement as Anty John's new windows arrive on site.
