Series 478, episode 0

To mark Remembrance Sunday, Countryfile visits the Royal Forest of Dean, one of England's most ancient woodlands. Ellie Harrison discovers how the forest became a resource in wartime when she meets the lumberjills - women who took on the role of forester to help the war effort. Matt Baker takes a walk through the forest following a giant sculpture trail, and along the way he meets the artist who turned a quiet glade into a place of remembrance and contemplation. In Oxfordshire, Helen Skelton finds out how men from the countryside were trained as a secret army during World War II. Meanwhile, Tom Heap investigates the impact legislation to protect our village greens is having on the countryside. Adam Henson goes off to see some of the best Highland cattle in Britain, but without heading north of the border. Finally, Matt and Ellie meet up in Drybrook Church to find out more about its wartime history and pay tribute to the servicemen and women who put their lives on the line
