From the makers of Coast, Landscape Mysteries embarks on a series of
journeys in which Professor Aubrey Manning tries to solve mysteries
hidden in the landscape of the British Isles. Unpicking clues in the
geology, natural history and archaeology, Aubrey reveals how the land
has come to look the way it does. In Search of Irish Gold In Search of
Irish Gold sees presenter Aubrey Manning travel to Ireland in search of a
Celtic Eldorado, a secret source of Bronze Age gold, buried more than
3,000 years ago. Today s Irish landscape shows little sign of gold, so
where did these prehistoric metalworkers find it? Watch in awe as clues
in the landscape help Aubrey work out if and where deposits still exist.
Figures in the Chalk Figures in the Chalk sees Aubrey travel to the
Chalk Hills of England to unravel the origins of the enigmatic chalk
figures such as the Long Man of Wilmington and the Cerne Abbas Giant in
Dorset. The age of these chalk figures has never been fully established
and Aubrey, alongside a team of archaeologists from Reading University,
come up with a remarkable new and exciting discovery. The landscape
around us is part of our life; it affects so much that we do and feel.
Amazing forces have acted to shape our landscapes; they began millions
of years back and continue to this day. Join me in a search for clues
which reveal their influences on our past, present and future.
