Welcome to Neil Oliver's Love Letter to the British Isles

Neil Oliver’s Love Letter to the British Isles begins a million years ago, in the year dot, when the first tenants we know about, took up residence.For the past 20 odd years Neil’s hitched a ride on the magic carpet of television, writing books and making history programmes while travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles. This rare privilege has given him the opportunity to see every corner, from great monuments to hidden treasures.Of all the remarkable places and precious objects Neil’s seen on his travels, he’s chosen 100 that have stuck in his mind. And in classic Neil style, with a mix of warmth, humour, philosophy and a few grey cells, he uses these 100 places to tell the story of how a tiny group of Islands off the North-west coast of Europe came to matter, changing the course of history and exerting a profound and unique influence over the whole world.Check out the podcast Instagram account - Neil Oliver Love LetterNeil Oliver’s Love Letter to the British Isles is a FBF production See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
