WAINWRIGHT WALKS
The first Wainwright Walks series with Julia Bradbury was filmed in October 2006 and shown initially on BBC4, then BBC2 in February 2007. Julia and the crew stayed at Oakthwaite House during the filming! We were delighted to host the Skyworks / BBC crew again at Oakthwaite House as they made the next series in May and June 2007.
"Thanks for looking after us so well. Your superb breakfasts set us up for a hard day on the fells!"
