A POPULAR BBC TV presenter and farmer has paid a special visit to a Herefordshire care home.
Adam Henson, who is one of Britain's most famous farmers thanks to his presenting role on the long-running BBC show, Countryfile, was invited to Deer Park care home in Ledbury to discuss how he has transitioned from a life on the land to one in the media.
Deer Park, in Martins Way, provides care for a range of needs, including residential, nursing and dementia care on a long or short-term basis.
Mr Henson also talked about his efforts to conserve rare breeds of farm animals as co-owner of Cotswolds Farm Park, a legacy left to him by his father.

Home manager Marie Wood said: "It was a pleasure to welcome Adam Henson into our beautiful home and our residents and staff found the talk fascinating."
