A303: Highway to the Sun
A303: Highway to the Sun
Tom Fort travels along the 92-mile-long A303 from the Hampshire town of Basingstoke to Honiton in Devon. Originally designed in the 1960s, the route has been the subject of many proposed upgrades - several of which were strongly opposed due to their potential impact on sites of historic and natural significance, including Stonehenge. The programme charts the highway's turbulent history, as well as examining the development of the region over the past 5,000 years
A303: Highway to the Sun airs on BBC Four HD at 8:00 PM, Monday 28 April.
