Kingston Lacy
In this first episode, George's journey begins in Dorset at the UK's most exquisite example of Italianate architecture - the magnificent 17th-century Kingston Lacy. He uncovers a tale of shame and scandal on the south coast, and the beautiful Cotswold landmark - Hidcote Manor Gardens - in full bloom takes his breath away. George also mines the history of the country's last cave dwellers at one of Britain's best-kept secrets, the Rock Houses at Kinver Edge, and finally, with his husky Loki, takes a walk at spectacular Studland Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Dunster Castle
George visits the majestic 1,000-year-old Dunster Castle in Somerset, once home to a clan who spent six centuries renovating it from fortress to family home. He discovers it's not size that matters at the country's finest surviving 17th-century water gardens, Westbury Court in Gloucestershire, and goes back to his roots in Tyne and Wear at Washington Old Hall, the ancestral home to the first president of the USA. George then trumps it all with a walk around the glorious Croome Park in Worcestershire, the 32-year labour-of-love of 'England's Greatest Gardener', 18th-century landscape architect Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.

He also adds his name to the list of dukes, earls and viscounts who've made the astonishing Grade I-listed Cliveden Gardens their playground over the past 300 years, and investigates the unique home of a fellow architect at Snowshill Manor in the Cotswolds, a treasure trove of more than 22,000 curiosities collected from all around the world.

He discovers a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture at Tyntesfield in Somerset, with its acres of flower-filled terraces, and unleashes a medieval catapult at Corfe Castle in Dorset, an iconic ruin who's first stone was laid almost a millennium ago, before risking vertigo with his trusty companion Loki at the highest point on England's south coast - the famous Golden Cap.
