In Manchester, at the magnificent Heaton Park, Michael Portillo discovers one of the first open-air concerts was held here. In 1909, an opera fan entertained 40,000 visitors by playing Enrico Caruso on a gramophone. In the beautiful Peak District, he joins ramblers in walking country. He then heads to the home of one of the wealthiest dynasties in Britain, the Earls Fitzwilliam.
