Description
Piecing together clues from the natural and man-made landscape, Alan Titchmarsh looks at the dramatic changes that have affected the British Isles from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution. T...he entire population of Britain could fit into a football stadium 8000 years ago. Today we probably see more people on the way to work than one of our ancestors would have seen in a lifetime. The clearing of forests for agriculture and the introduction of new species changed the landscape for ever.
