Christmas Traditions

Charlotte Smith takes a look at some of our Christmas traditions. She visits historic Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire – the birthplace of photography in Britain – to discover how the Fox Talbot family celebrated the festive season in the run-up to New Year. She also finds out how to make the most of Christmas leftovers, learns about some intriguing, age-old cures to relieve festive overindulgence, and delves into the archives to revisit some special Countryfile Christmas moments from across the UK.
