THE SPIRIT OF ENGLAND
Volume 1

In this unique DVD tour of the finest historical sites in England, we visit Tintagel, the legendary castle of King Arthur on the north Cornish coast, Rievaulx Abbey, in North Yorkshire, one of the most spectacular monastic ruins in England, and the world-famous prehistoric monument of Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire.

We also explore the superb medieval fortress of Dover Castle in Kent, the wonderfully preserved fortified manor house of Stokesay Castle in Shropshire, Battle Abbey in Sussex, built on the site of the Battle of Hastings, and the famous quarry gardens of Belsay Hall and Castle in Northumberland. En route, we reveal the treasures of some of the nation's finest country houses: the palatial Jacobean Audley End House in Essex; Kenwood, in London, home of one of the most important collections of paintings in Britain; and Osborne House, Queen Victoria's magnificent seaside home on the Isle of Wight... a visual feast of history which can be enjoyed time and time again.
