Villages by the Sea (2019)

Episode Overview

Title: Flamborough Plot: Archaeologist Ben Robinson travels to the coastal village of Flamborough, perched on a dramatic headland jutting into the North Sea. Though it appears modest today, this village was historically isolated by a man-made dyke, measuring five meters deep and stretching two and a half miles, crafted from local chalk for fortification. As Ben investigates two key landmarks, he uncovers the significant role chalk played in Flamborough's past. He explores Flamborough Castle, constructed in the 1350s and now in ruins, which was once owned by the influential Constable family. Utilizing advanced technology, Ben aims to reconstruct the grandeur of their fortified estate.
