Ellie Harrison presents a bird's-eye view of the Gloucestershire countryside, and Jules Hudson learns how the thousands of grey seals on the Scottish coast are monitored.

Countryfile comes from Gloucestershire where Ellie Harrison presents a special bird's-eye view of the countryside as she contemplates the 'View from Above'. She delves back into the Countryfile archives, looking back at some of the best stories featured on the programme, where we've been given a unique view on what's happening below. Ellie takes in the view from the top of Berkeley Castle as she helps with the weeding on the roof, she meets the archaeologists getting a unique view from above of some Saxon remains, she climbs to the top of a historic monument saved by the local community, and she takes to the skies in a biplane to experience a loop-the-loop.

Julia Bradbury is also in the skies, flying over the historic orchards of Herefordshire. Matt Baker's on an extreme walk which involves an abseil down into the Wye Valley.

Jules Hudson is on the Scottish coast finding out how they keep an eye on their 150,000 grey seals, and Helen Skelton looks at how state-of-the-art military technology could modernise sheep farming in the Lakeland Fells.
