The Wonder of Britain Julia Bradbury embarks on a 12,000-mile journey choosing assets she believes the public should be proud of. From Britain's industrial and royal heritage to rolling countryside, dramatic coastline and eclectic architecture, she tours some of the nation's most spectacular and fascinating locations. This was originally supposed to be a 5 part series, ITV released these 2 parts, and have said that there will release the other 3 later this year

[edit] Our Beautiful Buildings

In the first programme, she explores remarkable buildings, from Castle Howard to the Eden Project, Caernarfon Castle to London's `Cheesegrater', telling the story of those who created them.

[edit] Our Industrial Story

Julia Bradbury explores the wonder of the Industrial Revolution, visiting the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, which carries the Llangollen canal over the valley of the River Dee near Wrexham. Completed in 1805, it is the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain and is now categorised as a Grade I listed building. She also boards Brunel's former passenger steamship the SS Great Britain and appreciates the gothic majesty of Manchester Town Hall and the iconic fun of Blackpool Tower.
