Hugh Dennis and Julia Bradbury travel across Britain to explore its landscapes and the people who live in them, as well as how they have been shaped by the country's varied geological history. Beginning in Cornwall and Devon, Hugh jumps into the Atlantic from a granite clifftop, tries to land in a dangerously placed helipad and retraces the steps of King Arthur at Tintagel Castle. Meanwhile, Julia learns about Cornwall's surfing tradition, and ventures into one of the spookiest areas of Dartmoor
