🏌️ More Than Words – Episode 45: Grave New World 🏌️
From oxygen labs to Roman villas to golf balls committing crimes against architecture — episode 45 is basically British history, Spanish weather, and Enlightenment science all asking to speak to the manager.
Featuring:
⛳ Boys’ Trip Chaos: one golf shot, two villas, and physics filing a complaint
🏛️ Roman Ruins (Par‑5 Edition): Seve meets Time Team
🧪 Derry Hill’s Big Reveal: the village where someone casually invented breathing
📸 Lacock’s Camera Roll: BBC costume drama energy, and the birthplace of photography
🏡 Whitley & Broughton Common: villages politely declining to be interesting
🏰 Great Chalfield Manor: medieval grandeur with built‑in peepholes for recreational snooping
⛪ Bradford‑on‑Avon: Saxon churches, Roman villas, tithe barns, and a surprise Buddhist monastery
🍺 Norton St Philip: a pub that’s been serving ale since before the Black Death
📜 Faulkland, Kilmersdon & Holcombe: folklore treated like a competitive sport
🍏 Shepton Mallet: Babycham, prisons, and more history than seems strictly necessary
⚰️ Cannard’s Grave: a destination that does exactly what it says on the tin
It’s travel with Enlightenment breakthroughs, medieval manors, Roman archaeology, boys‑trip physics, and weather apps improvising like jazz musicians.
