Episode 10
Rick heads into the bowels of Cornwall with author Philip Marsden, deep into the China Clay pits, to discover what is known locally as White Gold, one of this county’s most important industries. He then climbs the Cornish Alps, huge slag heaps created by the clay mining and some of Cornwall’s highest land. After a wild swim with Shonna Hands at one of Cornwall’s picturesque hidden coves, Polridmouth, Rick cooks a simple recipe for BBQ sea bass with a fennel mayonnaise – telling you how to make the perfect homemade mayonnaise in the process. In the far west of the county, on the Land’s End peninsula, Rick introduces us to his niece, Lucy Stein, a modern artist who explains her deep spiritual connection to Cornwall – including a wander at Boscawen-un stone circle close to St Buryan.
