Filmed over a year by Richard Brock (producer of BBC's Life on Earth) in spectacular Cheddar Gorge, this 70 minute film reveals rare species - dormice, Horseshoe bats, Great Crested newts and Peregrine falcons.  But the charming water vole, the most endangered mammal in Britain, is the star of the show.
