The Yorkshire Dales National Park provides the perfect backdrop for comedian and actor Nina Wadia as she explores a rich landscape and expresses deep thoughts. Nina unwinds and reflects in the dramatic spring setting of Swaledale. A keen walker, Nina has travelled the world, but her first trip to the Yorkshire Dales has a profound effect.

She captures her moments carrying a 360-degree camera. Nina reveals personal family challenges, including the loss of her parents, in emotive scenes. Starting her walk in the quaint village of Muker, Nina is greeted throughout by local faces. An ornithologist shows her some of the rarer bird species found in the area, and a mum and child out walking the fells provide a family perspective on living in the Dales. Nina also tests her skills in a new language when she meets a village elder who speaks ‘Swardle’, the historic local dialect.

The stunning circular walking route takes Nina through lush, flowering, hay meadows of special scientific interest, past rivers and waterfalls, and over valleys and fell tops with 20 miles of views of the Dales. Nina’s natural warmth and humour punctuate her candid revelations and experiences. In a closing scene at sunset, Nina expresses a deep sense of peace and gratitude following her solitary springtime walk in Swaledale.
