History Documentaries
A journey to some of Britain’s least known islands, exploring the wildlife of these regions, meeting the people that live there, and exploring the history and culture of these areas. Join a voyage to Farne Islands, home to seals and seabirds, early Christian communities and one of the first landing sites for the terrifying Viking raiders. Plus, a voyage to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, visiting the 5000-year-old standing stones of Callanish, traditional Scottish blackhouses and cutting peat with a modern crofter. An exploration of Rathlin Island includes a visit to a Neolithic stone tool factory, a unique upside-down lighthouse, and a WWII shipwreck. While a trip through England’s South Coast includes diving with blue sharks, exploring the battlements of Drake’s Island, learning the origins of Scouts and checking out fossils on the Isle of Wight.
