From medieval castles to the intrigue of Hadrians Wall and Stonehenge, discover the enduring mystery of England's ancient past. Lost Castles of England - Existing throughout much of the Middle Ages, timber rather than stone castles were the dominant fortifications of their period. Rather than small and temporary, they were large, permanent and dotted throughout England. Lords and Ladies built them, communities lived in them and battles were fought over them, yet today only mounds of earth remain. This intriguing programme uncovers the mystery surrounding the majestic timber castles of England. Hadrian's Wall - Seventy four miles long and 2, 000 years old, Hadrian's Wall was built by the Roman Empire across the width of what is now northern England. Stretching from Newcastle upon
Tyne to the coast of Cumbria, it winds over the hills and valleys marking the northernmost extent of a once mighty empire. Built of stone and mortar, it is an ancient treasure that still holds many secrets that archaeologists are eager to uncover. Stonehenge - For 5, 000 years the sacred prehistoric site of Stonehenge has stood on the Salisbury Plain, mystifying all that have seen the ancient stones. But who built it and why? Was it an altar for human sacrifices, an astronomical observatory, a place of healing or even a landing site for UFOs? Through interviews with world-famous archaeologists and Stonehenge experts, we explore many of the lingering mysteries that have enthralled us for five millennia.
