Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out

Susan enjoys an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a stretch of Heritage Coast and the rolling countryside of the North Pennines. Plus, she masters the art of driving an obstacle course in a power-turn buggy.

Susan visits HMS Victory in Portsmouth for a taste of naval history, walks in the New Forest, sees Jane Austen's house in Chawton and the grand house that stood in for Downton Abbey.

Susan explores the gorgeous rural sights in and around the Lincolnshire Fens, visiting Sir Isaac Newton's family home and Lincoln Cathedral, and trying soapbox racing in a 'mini-Mirren'.

Susan's on home soil exploring the Scottish Borders, where she learns about Scotland's first Formula One Champion, sees the Great Tapestry of Scotland, and a historic camera obscura.

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.

In the final episode of the series, Susan celebrates the weird and wonderful ways she's travelled on land and sea, from river rapids by rubber ring to sea tractors on the Devon Coast.
