Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out

The comedian returns for a fresh batch of adventures, beginning with a trip to the northeast corner of England, taking in the Pennines and Northumberland coast. Susan enjoys a stretch of Heritage Coast and the rolling countryside of the North Pennines. She also explores the Northumberland National Park.

Susan's adventures bring her to the county of Hampshire. In Portsmouth she explores HMS Victory, learning how Nelson's cunning tricks won out in the Battle of Trafalgar. She also visits the former home of Jane Austen in Chawton, which inspires her to have a go at Regency dancing, and finds out about a curious eating competition in the town of New Alresford.

Susan explores the second largest county in England as she takes in the gorgeous rural sights in and around the Lincolnshire Fens. She arrives to lush greens, as pops of yellow punctuate the vast, flat Lincolnshire landscape. This may be the perfect place to pootle.

This time, Susan is on home soil exploring the beautiful Scottish Borders and the neighbouring Dumfries and Galloway. It's a journey of discovery and nostalgia as Susan takes her motorhome Helen to some of her favourite haunts, as well as uncovering some exciting new places.

In Kent, Susan visits Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn; Canterbury Cathedral, the premier place for a medieval pilgrimage; and Penshurst, where she tries fencing.

The comedian enjoys a new adventure at Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, home to the Museum of Scottish Railways, and she remembers some of the highlights from her escapades over the years.
