Summary:In this fascinating historical documentary series with a difference, Dr Alixe Bovey from the University of Kent, retraces the steps of our medieval ancestors as she journeys through the beautiful British countryside with the 14th Century Gough Map - the oldest surviving map of Britain - as her guide. Following pilgrim trails and visiting many magnificent buildings and ruins, she provides a unique window onto life at the height of the middle ages and reveals clues to the origins of the map itself. Part travelogue, part history series, all of Britain is explored as Alixe reveal a face of Britain that has never been seen before.
