Archaeologist Ben Robinson travels to Cushendall, one of the finest planned Georgian villages in Northern Ireland.

Owned and shaped by a series of owners, but most notably its 19th century merchant landlord, Francis Turnly. A fascinating place where this forward-thinking man hoped to try out his ideas for a new global order – ideas akin to organisations such as the UN and the WHO today. He also built an intriguing, tapered tower, from which he rang a curfew bell to keep his villagers in check.

Archaeologist Ben Robinson discovers the impressive lime kilns in Solva, this picturesque, 1800s Welsh port is famous for producing quicklime, a vital ingredient in both our agriculture and building industry.

The kilns here are well preserved and contributed to making the soil in farmers' fields more alkaline – to increase crop yield at a time when the nation's population was growing. A pretty spot now but Ben learns of how this industry would have been a tough life for the locals.
