Chris Jackson sets out through glorious scenery to explore the seven most notable man made wonders in the North East and Cumbria - as recommended by the people living in the region. His journey spans 4,500 years and several hundred miles. Amongst the man made wonders is Long Meg and her Daughters, an ancient stone circle in Cumbria. This is one of the oldest and largest stone circles in the world. Another iconic location is Vindolanda, a fort on Hadrians Wall that has been painstakingly restored by archaeologists. And no trip around the North's man made wonders would be complete without a trip to Durham Cathedral, said by Bill Bryson to be "the best cathedral on planet earth". There's also some surprises including one of the region's most stunning castles.
