PBS WISCONSIN AND ALSO WISCONSIN
PUBLIC RADIO FOR COVERING
SUPREME COURT RACE IN WISCONSIN.
BECAUSE IT IS IN THAT OFF YEAR,
SOMETIMES WHAT THE PERSON SAYS
ALL I SAW WHERE I LIVE, ALL I
SAW WERE COMMERCIALS AND IT WAS
PUBLIC RADIO AND IT WAS PUBLIC
TELEVISION WHO WAS THERE AND
IN-DEPTH COVERAGE, CONVERSATION,

PROGRAM OUT THERE IN THE

BUT IT STARTS WITH YOUR CALL,
1-800-236-3636.
>> IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS,
THE INTEREST IN HOME COOKING HAS
REALLY GONE THROUGH THE ROOF.
AND EVEN SORT OF THIS ELEVATED
HOME COOKING, WHICH MARY'S THIS
LOVELY COMBINATION OF YOU KNOW
IT'S NOT JUST MEAT AND POTATOES.
SHE KIND OF SPICES IT UP A
LITTLE, BUT YET SHE MAKES IT
VERY EASY, SO IT'S SIMPLE
COOKING THAT'S SORT OF ELEVATED.
JUST LIKE HER PERSONALITY.
HER COOKING REALLY IS A
REFLECTION OF THAT.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
INTERESTED IN MAKING MEALS AT
HOME BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET
AWAY FROM PROCESSED FOOD.
THEY WANT TO WORK MORE WITH
THINGS THAT THEY HAVE CONTROL
OVER, INGREDIENTS THEY HAVE
CONTROL OVER THAT ARE EITHER
FARM TO TABLE, COMING FROM
NEARBY OR THEY'RE GROWING THEM
THEMSELVES.
THREE EPISODES FROM NOW MARY HAS
ALLOTMENT, WHICH IS A GARDEN
KITCHEN, BASICALLY, IN
AMERICAN-SPEAK.
AGAIN, THAT IS ONLY AVAILABLE
WITH PASSPORT WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR

CONTRIBUTE THAT WAY UNDERSTAND
THAT IT'S AN EASIER WAY TO GIVE,

PLEDGE AT 1-800-236-3636.
to the summit of Great Shunner Fell.
- The weather cleared. The sun came out.
The views up here are amazing.
Ah. Look at this.
(bright music)
- Now my father always had a love of high country.
He was happier on the tops than in the dales,
in the valleys, the wilder the better.
A lot of people think it's bleak up there.
He didn't think so.
He never used to say, "This is bleak."
He'd say, "This is absolutely beautiful!"
If it was raining,
which of course, it was awfully bleak,
then he wouldn't say anything.
(Jim laughs)
- [Lorena] The view from up here,
atop the third highest peak in all the Dales
is indeed beautiful.
Great Shunner is topped with a terrific shelter.
It's in the shape of a cross,
creating four cozy nooks
so that no matter which way the wind is blowing,
you can always find shelter from it.
- [Chris] Looks like everyone's having lunch,
so we'll tuck in, too.
- [Jim] "Sandwiches taste so much better
"when you can look out on a sight like that
"as you eat them."
(birds chirping)
- Well, we just had possibly the best lunch ever.
- Mm hmm.
Tuna mayo and cucumber sandwiches-
- My favorite. - On the summit
of Great Shunner Fell.
Oh, it tasted so good.
- But now it's time to saddle up again,
head down this mountain,
and the village of Thwaite awaits.
Let's go.
(gentle music)
(sheep bleating)
- And there it is, Swaledale.
Moorland gives way to a rough and rocky track.
Ankle support is essential here,
though sometimes it's best to walk
on the grassy verge instead.
It gives your feet a bit of a break
before tackling our climb over Kisdon,
which now looms just ahead.
(gentle music) (bird squawking)
A road.
Haven't seen one of those in a while.
Our first Swaledale village,
and a place Herriot and Jim remembered fondly: Thwaite.
- [Jim] "This is a typical Dales village
"if ever you saw one.
"The inevitable humpback bridge,
"the massive houses of grey stone,
"the whole clustered atmosphere suggesting a nearness
"to the head of the dale."
- [Chris] The village shop is a little gold mine
for the weary walker.
They think of everything, including booties
so you don't have to take off your boots while shopping.
Rest. Get your bearings.
Top off your water.
- [Lorena] Time to hit the trail,
though the path out of Thwaite can be a little hard to find.
Aha! There it is.
- [Chris] The climb up Kisdon is a bit of a thigh-burner.
The footpath passes a rather extroverted cairn.
And then something unexpected,
the path and hillside are completely pockmarked
with hundreds of rabbit holes.
Treacherous footing for man and beast.
Y'know, Elmer Fudd may have had a point.
(birds chirping) (sheep bleating)
Boy, that was a long climb out of Thwaite.
Ah! What a day.
We have spent most of it walking the beautiful Pennine Way.
But now it's time to say goodbye to that path
as it heads off that way.
- And we are going up that way over Kisdon to Keld.
(gentle guitar music)
The walk across Kisdon is a grand one,
with soft grass underfoot,
and great views all around.
Take a look back.
There's Great Shunner Fell.
It's one of the most affirming things you can do on a walk,
looking back to see where you've been.
(gentle guitar music)
We're finally here. In Keld.
We're spending the night here at Keld Lodge.
James and Jimmy stayed here when they did their walk,
back then it was called Keld Youth Hostel,
and it cost them 1 and 6 to spend the night.
- That's right, it's a little more expensive right now,
but certainly no less welcoming.
Let's go.
(gentle music) (birds chirping)
(bright music)
- Good morning!
Look at this. Isn't this amazing!
Yesterday when we headed out,
it was dreary and drizzly and overcast.
But today, we've got this beautiful sunshine
and fluffy clouds and there's little birds all around us.
What a great way to start Day Three of our Herriot Way walk.
- Today's walk takes us up into lead mining country,
a bleak landscape that represents an important part
in the history of Swaledale.
- All right.
So let's get going. - Let's do it.
- [Lorena] It seems a shame to not linger
in so beautiful a place as Keld,
but Swaledale beckons,
so let's take a look at today's walk.
We set out from Keld with a brief but scenic walk
above the River Swale.
We'll stop at Crackpot Hall
before climbing onto moorland
that's home to heather and grouse.
Soon after, we're fully into lead mining country,
passing historic hushes, mines, and mills.
The tour of ruins continues,
all the way down to the smelting mill at Surrender Bridge.
We leave lead mining behind
and stroll through the sleepy village of Healaugh.
After a quick reunion with the Swale,
we arrive at one of our favorite villages
in all of Britain, Reeth.
Immediately upon leaving Keld,
we cross the Swale for the first time.
Like the Ure back in Wensleydale,
tree-lined banks and rocky falls
run for many miles along its picturesque path.
- [Lorena] One of the great pleasures of walking
is meeting other walkers and their dogs.
Rosie walked like a seasoned pro
alongside her two-legged companions.
- [Chris] Rosie has sniffed out something unusual,
the rusting remains of an old tractor.
- Little gray Fergies.
- [Chris] Fergie is also a landmark.
This is where we turn off to begin our climb
into mining country.
- Right away we come across a major landmark
of this walk, the ruins of Crackpot Hall.
This site has been occupied since at least the 1500s.
The building we see is all that's left
of an 18th century farmhouse.
The house is mysterious enough,
but for decades, a strange tale was told
about a little girl called Alice,
who was said to be roaming around Crackpot Hall
in the 1930s.
She was described as having a wild, chuckling laugh
and had the madness of the moors about her
speaking in a dialect so strong,
it sounded like a foreign language.
But was she real?
(Alice laughs)
- [Interviewer] So how old were you there?
You look about four? - About four or something,
or so, like that.
- A 2015 BBC radio documentary
discovered that not only did she exist,
but that she was alive and well.
Alice Harker wasn't some feral moorland child.
She was, in fact, one of six perfectly normal,
happy children living with their parents at Crackpot Hall.
Normal, that is, apart from living in this remote
and enchanting part of Swaledale,
with this magnificent view to greet her every morning.
Alice, the last of the Harker children
born at Crackpot Hall, passed away in 2019.
Something as simple as this, the remains of a stove,
that cooked Alice's food and kept her family warm,
transforms this crumbling ruin
into something far more personal and real.
This was a home.
Alice's home.
(gentle guitar music)
- [Chris] Next to the falls at Swinner Gill,
we find the remains of a smelt mill,
the first sign that we are now walking through
Swaledale's lead mining history.
(gentle guitar music)
This next section is a treat for walkers.
A vast, gentle moor.
The landscape, covered in heather, is home to grouse.
It also provides spectacular views of the Dales.
And if you look closely,
you'll spot the summit cairn of Great Shunner Fell.
In contrast to the wastelands you're about to visit,
this part of the walk is tranquil and unspoiled.
James Herriot would have been chuffed.
- [Jim] "The peace which I always found
"in the silence and emptiness of the moors
"filled me utterly."
(gentle guitar music)
- Yesterday, we shared the path with the Pennine Way.
Today, we share it with one of the most popular walks in the world:
Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk.
Alfred Wainwright was England's most beloved fellwalker.
His guidebooks to the fells
of the Lake District,
meticulously detailed and lavishly illustrated
have inspired generations of ramblers.
But his crowning achievement was the Coast to Coast Walk,
a 192 mile trek from the west coast of England
to the east coast; a journey Lorena and I
had the great pleasure of walking ourselves.
Generations of walkers have cherished Wainwright's books,
including James Herriot.
- My father liked the way Wainwright wrote.
He used simple words in the right way,
and his enthusiasm,
my father thought his enthusiasm shone through.
His love of the high country and the fells.
- [Lorena] It sounds like what he liked in Wainwright
is what we all like in him.
- Exactly, because his secret, a bit like Wainwright,
his secret is that he uses simple words in the right place.
- [Lorena] Exactly.
- They're not difficult to understand,
this isn't flowery stuff, James Herriot.
It's easy stuff.
Yeah, my dad would've loved to have met Wainwright,
because they had very similarities,
interests with the mountains.
And also they were both football fans.
Now one thing my father loved talking about
was football, soccer.
So they would've had a lot to talk about.
- They may not have met face to face,
but out here, where their paths walk side by side,
I think an introduction is in order.
Alf Wight, meet Alfred Wainwright.
(gentle music)
- [Lorena] As we leave the track,
we see a telltale sign of lead mining,
and one that has literally scarred the land.
This is a hush.
Miners would've dammed the waters here, then released them.
The resulting torrent would scour away the topsoil,
exposing the vein of lead ore beneath.
The result: moorland forever gouged by rocky ravines.
(gentle music)
Once discovered and mined,
the ore would've ended up at a smelting mill like this one,
Blakethwaite Mill.
(gentle music)
Up on Melbeck Moor, the desolation is profound.
Centuries of lead mining have left
an almost lunar landscape,
a rusting, abandoned piece of machinery
the only sign that anyone was ever here.
- [Chris] Another valley, another mill,
and this one's a beauty.
This is Old Gang Mill,
one of the best-preserved lead smelt mills in the Dales.
The process here was fairly typical.
A waterwheel here operated a bellows,
pumping air into the furnace.
The incredible inferno would melt the lead ore,
generating not only lead,
but also poisonous fumes,
which escaped via a system of flues and chimneys
that extended almost a half mile up and over this hill.
With this combination of brute force and hellish heat,
mills like these produced the lead
that was used in everything from plumbing to paint,
not only in Britain, but around the world.
- In the late 18th and early 19th centuries,
Swaledale was the largest producer of lead in the world.
Lead production literally populated the Dale.
Miners from all over Britain moved here for work.
Entire families labored in the production of lead.
What was it like for them;
the miners, their wives, and their children?
We've come to the last smelt mill on our journey,
Surrender Mill, to ask Swaledale historian and resident
Helen Guy that very question.
- What was a day like for a miner and his family?
- So a miner's shift was only six hours.
Whereas up here typically outside the smelt mill
on the flat ground near the river you had women and children
doing all the dressing so they worked the dressing floor.
And they were outside in the elements for up to ten hours.
The miners, a lot of them had you know three miles to walk
up to the mines because the mines
were not in a convenient place,
they were right on top of the moor.
And they would work for six hours
and then they would go back to their smallholdings.
A lot of the miners were also farmers
and then they might do some farming,
they might go dry stone walling
and certainly in the summer, they would go haymaking.
- [Chris] Mortality rate, health,
what was that like for the mining community?

SOMETHING THERE THAT INTERESTS
ME, EVEN SOMETIMES WHEN IT ISN'T
SOMETHING THAT I NECESSARILY
LOOK AT AND THINK, YEAH, I WANT

BY THE END OF THE PROGRAM, I'M
LIKE BEARS ARE THE COOLEST THING
