Motorhoming with Merton & Webster

Paul Merton and Suki Webster explore the New Forest, encountering `commoners" Tess and Ollie, who have earned the right for their ponies to roam freely in the area. With the help of farrier Ben, Suki learns how to remove a horseshoe and takes home her own bit of luck, and the couple visit hives in Hythe for a spot of beekeeping.

This week husband and wife Paul Merton and Suki Webster are in Devon, famous for its spectacular coastline, pristine beaches, Devonshire cream teas and two national parks. The couple visit one of them: Dartmoor to meet local guide Nick for a Sherlock inspired tour. It was here that Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired to write one of his most famous novels: The Hound of the Baskervilles, but on such a glorious sunny day, it's a far cry from the spooky mist covered moors in the book. Whilst here Paul and Suki meet Kate and Norman part of the Wheeled Access group, an organization that encourages anyone with a disability to get out and enjoy the area. After a quick tour of Norman's clever Motorhome adaptation for his mobility scooter, Paul and Suki head to nearby Tavistock to solve the cream team conundrum - jam and then cream, or cream then jam? Only a blind taste test will solve it, so they pitch up at Croyde Bay for the night, one of Devon's most famous surfing destinations. The following day the pair decide to recreate their own favourite beach scene, although it's less Hollywood more Cricklewood, and after a brief paddle they're off to Merry Harriers Garden Centre, home to over two and a half thousand gnomes. After a tour of the gnome sanctuary Suki and Paul meet Lorna and Chris who have adopted the garden accessories and lend a hand restoring some of the more weather worn ornaments.

Suki Webster and husband Paul Merton are in God's Own Country: Yorkshire. Keen to get a taste of the area they head to Masham for a tour around one of its independent breweries, and Dan, the head brewer, shows them how to create the perfect pint. Later that afternoon they head to the famous Tan Hill Inn, for a spectacular view of the dales and a place to stay. They dine in their own private dome and Suki has a Yorkshire pudding she'll never forget. The following morning, inspired by their woolly neighbours, Paul arranges a sheep dog training session for animal loving Suki. Driving through the Buttertub pass they soon arrive to meet sheep dog trainer Richard, and his four-legged friends Lola, Keith and Sim. With the flock soon in their pen, the couple head to Settle for a lesson in railway signals but not before stopping at the incredible spectacle of the Ribblehead Viaduct. It's another action-packed day but there's just enough time for them to get to their campsite for the night at the Dalesbridge, meet Motorhomers Ross and Diane before one last Yorkshire tradition: Wensleydale and fruit cake.

Paul Merton and Suki Webster head to Wales on their motorhoming holiday. Driving to the beautiful Snowdonia National Park or Eryri as it is now known in Welsh. Paul is behind the wheel and while the narrow windy roads are making him nervous, Suki's limerick challenge soon calms him. They pitch up at Lake Bala, Wales's biggest natural lake, where they meet Kieran and Kat who have converted an old horse box into a family-sized motorhome. With the water calling, the duo take part in the lake's many water sports starting with paddle boarding and ending with a little synchronised swimming. The following day they're off to the Mach Loop valley – a famous flight path for the RAF fighter pilot training at nearby Anglesey. Once they've enjoyed a "Top Gun" moment they drive to campsite Bryn Y Gwin, run by artist Ian, who's perfected the art of painting on swan feathers. The pair then settle down for their own take on a drive-in movie.
