Matt Baker and Sammi Kinghorn trace the paw prints of a river legend – Tarka the Otter – to explore how the people of North Devon have helped the Eurasian otter claw back from near-extinction.

From the winding Tarka Trail beside the Rivers Taw and Torridge, Matt and Sammi meet farmers, poets and even footballing legend David Seaman, who find peace along these tranquil banks, watching the wildlife that calls them home. And at journey’s end, Sammi witnesses the release of two orphaned otters returned to the wild.
