I don't know if anyone had discussed this series as the search facility on this forum is sadly lacking!

We have been watching these 4 series by archaeologist Ben Robinson on Iplayer, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Although we have visited most of those shown so far it is an eye opener with regard to things we have missed and has inspired us to revisit them. It certainly provides a grand insight into our past and would make a super tour!!

It’s made us visit one or two places and look at them in a different way. I don’t think that the episodes on Bamburgh and Warkworth concentrated On the two most obvious features, the castles, but more on the actual villages close by. One we enjoyed was the Suffolk village built as a holiday resort for the well to do. We had a look around last year. Thorpeness.

The one on Thorpeness was broadcast last night. Very interesting, can't see it getting planning permission now! Only thing missing was a little campsite.

Plenty of CLs not too far away, David. I think a caravan park on the village would completely spoil the place, as it is busy enough these days, and by it's very nature it isn't really holiday destination for the hoi polloi.

I wondered if they were repeating some episodes. We visited out of curiosity really. It’s only the odd buildings that are of interest, and I suspect it gets very busy. We enjoyed a walk around (parked MH easily but it was October) but it’s not somewhere we would go back to see again I don’t think. Orford and Aldeburgh much more interesting in our opinion.
