Penelope Keith, one of Britain's best-loved actors and a resident villager for 38 years, embarks on a new series to uncover more Hidden Villages across North Yorkshire, Argyll and Bute, Pembrokeshire, beginning with the Cotswolds. Her Cotswold journey starts in the celebrated village of Bibury, in an area her old friend Jilly Cooper describes as a magnet for some of the country’s most famous faces. The tour also includes Kelmscott, the home of William Morris; Slad, the village setting of Laurie Lee's book Cider with Rosie; Down Ampney; and Hook Norton, where beer continues to be delivered by horse-drawn dray. And in Ebrington, Penelope visits a perfect village fete.
