Matt Baker helps the National Trust find a new tenant for the vacant Wallington Estate farm in Northumberland and its 340 acres of grassland, woodland and wetland. Matt follows the process as seven applicants for the 10-year lease spend three weeks demonstrating they have what it takes to be chosen for the position. In this first episode, Matt arrives at the estate to meet the seven applicants. It's lambing season, so the hopefuls get straight to work.
