- Synopsis:
Join Nick Crarie in Great British Journeys as he shows how Britain was discovered in eight episodes exploring the most extraordinary geographical adventures ever made across the largest island in Europe, Great Britain. He travels by foot, horse and bicycle, on eight epic endurance journeys, through our wildest landscapes, following in the footsteps of Britain’s greatest indigenous explorers. From the great medieval journeys of Gerald of Wales to Thomas Pennant’s 18th Century Hebridean island hopping, from William Cobbett’s polemical Rural Rides to Daniel Defoe’s wild adventures through East Anglia Crane looks at how these Great British Journeys informed the public of the day; what light they cast on the Britain of that time, and how their Britain compares to our modern archipelago. - Actors:
