Walking Through History
S01:E01 - Frontline Dorset
T01:C01 - S01:E01 - Frontline Dorset
This week, Tony’s walk takes him back to 1940 when extraordinarily, the sleepy county of Dorset became the frontline in the war against Hitler. His five-day 60-mile walk along the Jurassic coast reveals the county’s hidden World War II story.
T01:C02 - S01:E02 - The Birth of Industry
Tony heads off on a 40-mile walk through the glorious Peak District and along the Derwent Valley. The landscape here is incredible; wild, dramatic, and romantic.
T01:C03 - S01:E03 - The Tudor Way
From the impressively preserved Penshurst Place, where author Philippa Gregory helps Tony relish the fate of the Grand Duke of Buckingham at the hands of the young Henry the Eighth, he travels up what used to be secret paths to Hever Castle.
T01:C04 - S01:E04 - Battle in the Glens
Tony’s journey of discovery starts in Sheil Bridge, at the mouth of Glen Shiel, where he heads to the site of the earliest known dwellings here, the ‘skyscrapers’ of the Iron Age.
