Tintagel Castle
In the first programme, Bettany and Ben explore Tintagel Castle and consider the archaeological evidence that it was once the home of the legendary King Arthur. They set out to investigate whether there is any truth in the myth and discover that the site was once linked to the richest trade networks in the world. They also learn that some ancient graffiti could reveal how the legend of Arthur began.

In episode two, we visit Old Sarum in Wiltshire, formerly one of the most important cities in Britain. It is the site where Saxon kings produced their money, William the Conqueror flaunted his victory over King Harold and the Domesday Book was created.
