Alan and Jane Hewson of Belvoir Ridge Creamery with their Colwick Cheese EMN-160906-165038001

Presenter Helen Skelton is in Rutland to meet master miller Nigel Moon at Whissendine Windmill who takes her on as apprentice for the day.

Helen then heads over the border to Melton where farmer Alan Hewson, of Crossroads Farm, Eastwell, is reviving a much loved, but long gone, local cheese, Colwick - a favourite of agricultural workers in the past. Alan puts its prize-winning taste down to the rare breed red poll cattle, a once common breed in the region.

The episode airs on BBC One on Sunday at 5.45pm.
