Amanda will then take on the Yorkshire Dales with her 360-degree camera as she delves into the realities of what it’s really like to live and work as a shepherdess in this landscape.

Along the way viewers will be treated to the relaxing sounds and scenery of the rolling hills, as Amanda finds fossils in the stones beneath her feet.

Across the Dales, Amanda drops down to Semer Water, where her walk will end on the pebble banks.
