From Absolute History.

Edwardian farmers Alex, Peter, and Ruth head out of the tranquil Tamar Valley and onto Dartmoor for summer. Discover the traditional—and surprisingly difficult—craft of hand shearing as the team cashes in on Devon’s historic wool industry ("white gold"). Plus, learn about the Edwardian adoption of silage for winter feed, and explore how the rise of tourism and the arrival of the motor car began to change the ancient moorlands forever.
