John Leland's Itinerary
The documentary series retracing journeys from British history attempts a 300-mile trip through the West Country, inspired by topographer John Leland.
Documentary series in which Nicholas Crane retraces extraordinary journeys from British history. In this edition, he attempts a 300-mile journey through the West Country, using only a 'map in words' compiled by the 'father of English topography' John Leland in the 16th century. Investigating Leland's quest to present Henry VIII with an accurate written record of the English countryside, Crane unearths the Tudor topographer's fascination with King Arthur and evidence of his long-lost submerged forest.
