Never have so many people decided to cash in their property chips and flee the concrete jungle in search of a country life. In this new series Kate Humble joins brave families, as they embark on an ambitious move to pastures new.

Kate will be on hand during the all-important first few months, helping them find their feet and discover new ways of earning money. We’re following families making life changing moves from Reading to Carmarthenshire, others from London to Somerset.  But with big dreams, comes hard graft as they chase a simpler, cheaper and more sustainable way of living.

A Country Life for Half the Price starts on Channel 5 at 8pm on 27th July, or catch up on My5.
