Six Things on
London's lost river Fleet
The urbanisation of London has meant that many original features of the landscape have been lost - with street names often the only reminder of their previous existence. One of these is the river Fleet, the largest of London’s lost subterranean rivers, which gave its name to the original home of the newspaper industry, Fleet Street.
Cape Wrath - a dramatic point, miles from anywhere
The most north-westerly point in mainland Britain, Cape Wrath in Sutherland, Scotland, is one of the most remote places in the country. Visitors who reach this point will be rewarded with wild and beautiful scenery... and (thankfully) a cafe.
Dover Castle - enduring military stronghold
The magnificent Dover Castle in Kent occupies such a strategically important position on the English coast that it has continued to function as part of the nation's defences from the twelfth to the twentieth century.
Mealt Falls - tumbling into the sea
There is something very "fantasy world" about waterfalls that fall straight off the edge of the world. But they do exist, and Britain's most charismatic example is Mealt Falls on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Sidney Little - seaside town's king of concrete
Sidney Little was a municipal civil engineer nicknamed 'the concrete king' due to his great knowledge and passion for the use of reinforced concrete in the 1930's. He was responsible for a number of major building projects with concrete on the south coast of England - including the construction of a new promenade including Britain's first underground car park in Hastings.
