Programme description: "Joe Crowley and Vick Hope explore Stonehenge, Britain’s most iconic prehistoric monument. Almost ten years on from our last visit, and with rare access to this world-renowned site, Joe and Vick uncover fresh discoveries about its origins and role as a gathering place for ancient peoples. From the towering megaliths themselves to the tiny organisms that live on their surfaces, the stones continue to surprise. Stonehenge’s construction may have started around 5,000 years ago, but its story is far from complete. Meanwhile, winter preparations are under way on Adam Henson’s Cotswold farm as a new Highland bull arrives, bringing the promise of calves next year (text extracted from BBC Countryfile website).
