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. The Riddle of the Yorkshire Tracks
Aubrey ventures to the bleak and dangerous North Yorkshire coastline for
his next adventure, to embark on an investigation into a forgotten
story of Britain s industrial past. By day this stretch of coast appears
like any other, but when the tide goes out, a different and mysterious
landscape is revealed - Can Aubrey solve The Riddle of the Yorkshire
Tracks? The Terraces of Avalon Along the steep sides of the Glastonbury
Tor there s a distinctive pattern of regular stepped terraces, but their
origin is a mystery. Is there a connection with the myths and legends
that permeate this intoxicating landscape? For the last programme in
this series Aubrey travels to Glastonbury to investigate the riddle of
The Terraces of Avalon. 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.
