London is home to one of the world’s most famous castles—the Tower of London—but it is far from the only fortress within easy reach of the capital. Rob Smith will digitally explore a number of remarkable castles, each revealing a different chapter of England’s history. From Windsor’s military past and the pivotal events at Berkhamsted, to the rebellion at Cooling Castle and the dramatic ruins of Hadleigh overlooking the Essex coast, discover how these fortresses shaped the nation’s story. Along the way, Rob also uncovers the histories of lesser-known castles whose surviving ruins still bear witness to centuries of conflict, royal ambition, and political change.

The recording will be sent on November 4 by 12:00 p.m. ET and available through December 31, 2026.
