The penultimate episode of Cumbria: The Lakes and Coast proved what a 'magical place' the county is.

The channel 5 series began last month, shining a light on the people and practices that set Cumbria apart from the rest of the country.

Catch up with the series so far:

With one episode left to come, the fourth instalment paid a visit to Muncaster Castle where 33-year-old Ewan Pennington is being entrusted to take over the management of the site.

The Pennington family have been custodians of the historic landmark since 1208 with Ewan's parents handing over the keys after 40 years of work.

He said: "I have been born and bred here in Cumbria and this is home, and it has what I think is understated in terms of how special it is.

"It was wonderful for us as children growing up here."

Over in the Eden Valley, viewers get to meet Barbara Hetherington in Ainstable, who has been tending to an award-winning alpaca farm with her family for 15 years.

Having started with just six of the animals, the site now cares for 220 alpacas, a love that started following a holiday to Peru.

Barbara commented: "I am very lucky to be doing something in such a nice place in the Eden Valley with beautiful alpacas.

"And there is never a day that you don't want to get to work."

The episode also follows Harry Jackson of Kendal at Winter Tarn Dairy, a business supplying the finest Cumbrian butter to high-end eateries in the area.

"I get to see my parents every day and it is just great to get to all work together and to work towards something," Harry added.

Over in Windermere, a large portion of this week's edition is dedicated to Ian Gee, a local historian and pilot who is trying to uncover an untold history of the lake.

On November 25, 1911, the Waterbird became the first plane to successfully take off from water, with Ian on the hunt for sunken treasure that could prove another piece of the story.
