Tristan Hughes goes on an epic road trip across Britain in search of some of the best Ice Age sites and landscapes in the country. In this 2 part series, we cover finds and discoveries that stretch over almost a million years of Britain’s prehistory.

In episode 1, Tristan journeys between Norfolk, Sussex, Eryri National Park and the Gower Peninsula. He learns about some of the earliest Ice Age archaeology from anywhere in the UK, Britain’s earliest hunters, the arrival of modern humans and Britain’s first known burial.

In episode 2, Tristan explores the last chapters of Britain’s Ice Age story. At gorges and caves carved out during the Ice Age, archaeology and science are combining to reveal some incredible yet gruesome insights into how our ancestors survived at this edge of the inhabitable world 15,000 years ago.
