"The home is beautifully capped and decorated, and I was sitting in this room that has amazing wallpaper, thinking 'I'd quite like this in my house'.""The interior design of these places is so lovely, and I'm getting to an age when I'm starting to think about my end-of-life, and where I'll go and what I'll do and what it's going to be like.”Adam Henson on Countryfile BBCThe celebrity farmer added: "I'm hoping my children will be rich enough to pay for me to go into a very nice home like this!"Henson joined Countryfile in 2001 and is one of the longest-running presenters on the show. Away from the programme, he runs Cotswolds Farm Park, where he welcomes thousands of visitors each year.He previously revealed he has been involved in running Cotswold Farm Park since he was just five years old.“My father was a big fan of traditional breeds of livestock and collected ones that were becoming rare and didn’t suit modern-day agriculture,” Henson explained in 2020.“To pay for his hobby and to support conservation, he opened the first-ever farm park in the country, if not the world. It was really forward-thinking for telling the story of farming, food and conservation.”Read MoreSince the Seventies, the family-run farm park has gone from strength to strength and now includes outdoor play, a wildlife walk, a history trail of rare breeds, a conservation area, a restaurant, shop and even options to stay the night in glamping pods and lodges. He shared his hopes that more and more people will embrace the staycation instead of getting on a plane, in a bid to reduce their carbon footprints."So many parts of the UK are really beautiful," he said. "When people ask me which is my favourite part of all, I always say 'there’s no place like home'. The fresh air and beautiful open spaces... the swallows overhead and the cows mooing in the background.“It’s a real privilege to live among it – and now everyone else can get back to coming to share and enjoy the wide open spaces, and help us to support rare breeds conservation and farming in the process.”Henson is married to his teenage sweetheart Charlotte and they have two grown-up children - Alfie and Ella. Charlotte was diagnosed with stage one pancreatic cancer after becoming unwell over Christmas 2020. Henson and Charlotte married in a small ceremony with their close relatives one day before she had surgery. She has since made a full recovery and is back to working part-time.
