Shadowlands: A Journey Through Lost Britain tells of a landscape scarred with haunting and romantic remains, that were once filled with life are now just spectral echoes. Peering through the cracks of history, we find Dunwich, a medieval city plunged off a Suffolk cliff by sea storms; the lost city of Trellech unearthed by moles in the Welsh Marches, and the ghostly reservoir of Capel Celyn, one of the few remaining solely Welsh-speaking villages, drowned by Liverpool City Council.
