Great British Railway Journeys

Michael Portillo explores one of Britain's oldest surviving landscapes, the woods and pasture of the Weald in south-east England. His first leg includes visits to a 12th-century church where more than 30 iron memorial slabs bear witness to the Weald as once the country's leading producer of iron, and to Bedgebury Pinetum, largest collection of conifers in the world, with over 12,000 individual trees
