Kevin McCloud's Listed Britain (2026 - 2026)

Kevin goes behind the scenes at Chatsworth House, and visits Castell Coch, the Marquess of Bute's Victorian gothic fantasy, complete with painted monkeys and medieval extravagance. Kevin also takes a look at the Palace of Westminster, one of the nation's treasured icons, but now badly in need of repair.

Kevin looks at six listed places where saving heritage meant a great deal of hard work from ordinary people campaigning, rebuilding, restoring and refusing to give up. The programme features a pioneering Georgian villa outside Edinburgh, Newport Transporter Bridge, a medieval timber hall, and a church saved from the Reformation.

Kevin explores places created by people who followed an obsession further than most would dare, and discovers how this singular passion can become something everyone else wants to protect. He climbs the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank, and helps to repair the protected dinosaur sculptures at Crystal Palace Park that captured a Victorian idea of pre-history.
