This episode, we visit The Channel Island's Sark, the Isle of Man's little neighbour, the Calf of Man, Lamb Holm in Orkney and Inishcorkish in Northern Ireland. The car-free island of Sark is just an hour ferry ride from the larger island of Guernsey. Helen runs a four-legged taxi service on the island along with her Normandy cob, Philly. With antique carts and carriages, the pair take the island's visitors on leisurely tours of the most iconic landmarks and vantage points.
