A descriptive journey through beautiful, rural countryside in North Yorkshire, England. Tom, our narrator, describes what he sees and senses along the route, all accompanied by the ambient sounds of nature. The walk follows the route of Crackpots Mosaic Trail, where a series of mosaic plinths represent aspects of the local landmarks, flora and fauna. As he meanders through moorland fringes, rugged farmland, leafy lanes, riverside paths and wooded glades, Tom experiences wildlife encounters and explores the history of this remote corner of Nidderdale.
