City life can be a soul-crushing grind. The constant noise, the relentless crowds, the questionable smells. Who hasn’t fantasised about ditching the urban jungle for a quiet life in the countryside? “Escape to the Country,” the soothing balm for our city-weary souls, returns to fuel our rural fantasies. This time, host Jules Hudson heads to Leicestershire to help a young couple find their first home amidst rolling hills and, one hopes, significantly fewer pigeons.
This isn’t just about finding a house with a decent garden and a nearby pub (though those are definite pluses). It’s about embracing a lifestyle change, a shift in pace that hopefully involves more fresh air and fewer sirens. Hudson, ever the affable guide, will steer the couple through the Leicestershire property market, offering his usual mix of practical advice and genuine enthusiasm.
And as always, “Escape to the Country” doesn’t just focus on bricks and mortar. Hudson will introduce viewers to a local character, a former beautician who found her true calling on the family farm. It’s a subtle reminder that rural life isn’t just about escaping; it’s about finding something new.
So, if you’re daydreaming of a rural idyll, or just need a break from the urban clamour, join Jules Hudson in Leicestershire on BBC One, Monday, March 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Who knows, it might just inspire your own escape to the country.
