The Wonder of Britain is a documentary series that celebrates some of the most impressive natural and manmade wonders that make Britain great.

Taking in our industrial, natural and royal heritage, Julia's scope encompasses rolling countryside, dramatic coastline, bird-filled archipelagos and deep dizzying gorges to beautifully eclectic buildings; from grand stately homes to cramped industrial era terraces.
