David Dimbleby ventures to the stunning South East for this episode of A Picture of Britain.
From the magnificent white cliffs of Dover and the rural idyll of Kent, to bustling Brighton and the South Downs, David explores the area of Britain that has always been the most at risk from enemy invaders and has captivated artists for centuries.
Julius Caesar first set foot here. William the Conqueror claimed this land for the Normans. And in 1940, the last great battle for Britain's survival was played out in the skies here.
