With guests who have joined Ben on his travels, this podcast is a funny, light-hearted look at the castles, caves, cathedrals, country homes (and pubs) visited along the way.At the end of each episode, guests are asked to contribute to an alternative list of landmarks and justify their choice.

Benjamin's Britain

20: Cheddar Gorge

February 11, 2022 • Ben Salamon, Nicky Pavitt and Diane Broinshtein • Season 3 • Episode 3

This episode, with guest Australian-based Diane Broinshtein, is one of two halves. Diane woke up early to talk about her trip with Ben to the oldest site in the landmarks book, Gough's Cave in Cheddar Gorge, where the remain of a Mesolithic (7100BC) man was found in the Victorian era. To balance the books, Diane's alternative landmark brings us right up to the 21 century with some famous street art.
