Back on dry land, Joe Mortimer visits a restaurant set in the hills of North Somerset where almost everything on the menu is grown in its walled garden. Barbara Kasasa travels to Serbia’s tranquil mountains to explore the unique village of Drvengrad. Dilraz Kunnummal delves into the American city of Atlanta, where Martin Luther King was born and Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With The Wind.
