England - Cromer to Belvoir Castle (3x9)

: 26, 2012

This journey starts on the north coast of East Anglia at the resort town of Cromer, before heading along the coast towards the old fishing harbour of Blakeney. Heading inland past a series of magnificent country houses we take a look at the current queen's royal Residence at Sandringham. At King's Lynn we discover warehouses going back to the 15th century when it was one of the main ports on the east coast. On the far side of the low-lying Fens is the city of Peterborough and its great medieval cathedral. To the north on a road first built by the Romans is the market town of Stamford. This journey ends at two spectacular houses, Harlaxton Manor, built in the 19th century and Belvoir Castle, which has a history stretching back the Norman invasion of 1066.
