Rhuddlan Castle: Gateway to Wales
So determined was King Edward the First to build a stone castle at Rhuddlan that he shifted the path of the river Clwyd, and with it reshaped the destiny of Wales.
Rhuddlan Castle: Gateway to Wales introduces you to the history of this settlement in North Wales, from the Norman conquest to the stone castle of Edward I. With extensive on-site filming, aerial photography and computer graphics, we uncover the secrets of this often neglected castle and explore its vital role in English and Welsh history.

Middleham: A Castle Made for Kings
In the heart of Wensleydale stands Middleham Castle, a stunning fortress surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. In the 15th century, a young Duke of Gloucester lived and trained here, under the care of the Earl of Warwick. That Duke would become known to the world as King Richard III and he would marry the Earl's daughter Anne, who he had known at Middleham during his youth. In Middleham: A Castle Made for Kings we take a tour around the fortress as it is today. But, through the art of computer reconstruction, we also bring the castle back to life and tour the Middleham Castle that King Richard knew.
Written and presented by John L. Fox, this is the first Lost in Castles production.

Sandal Castle & the Battle of Wakefield
Sandal Castle in Wakefield has long been a mystery to those who visit it. So little remains that it has taken an act of imagination to conceive of the majestic fortress that once overlooked the town of Wakefield. As the ruin has been forgotten, so has its history. In 1460 Sandal Castle overlooked a turning point, at the dawn of the Wars of the Roses. In The Battle of Wakefield 1460 we examine the events of that year and question the received version of events, as painted by the victors. In Building Sandal's Castles we show the development of the many castles that have existed on the site and, through extensive researched, make it possible to see the castle once again! We even show the plans that Richard III made for the site, but never accomplished in his lifetime.
Written and presented by John L. Fox. With voice talents of Robert Hardy and Richard Dodd.

Conwy Castle: Medieval Masterpiece
Conwy Castle, a World Heritage Site, is a magnificent fortress in North Wales. Built by James Saint George for King Edward I, it has towered over the medieval town of Conwy ever since. In Conwy Castle: Medieval Masterpiece we awaken this sleeping giant, reconstructing every corner to show the brilliance of its design - from the sumptuous quarters intended for Edward's wife, Queen Eleanor, to the narrow passageways between the kitchen and the Great Hall. We also take a tour of the medieval town walls, to gain a new perspective on Conwy Castle.
