Series 19 Episode 8: Secrets of the Dunes

The town of Kenfig, built around a natural harbour 800 years ago, appears to have been a thriving commercial success but then it vanished, leaving just a few castle walls to mark its existence. Amazingly, the ruins of the town may still lie buried under the sand dunes that have covered the whole site since. Tony and the team look at the history of the town, how it disappeared and how the Welsh fought Anglo-Saxon settlers.
