A Cold War radar mystery solved at Orford Ness, plus Grisedale's old lead mines, Paul McCartney's childhood home, the real Flopsy Bunnies garden, Benthall Hall and Basildon Park. And a 20% discount code for Historic Houses membership.

From Eltham's Art Deco interior and its unexpected quarters for a pet lemur to storm-scarred Cornwall and a Halloween night at Glamis, this week's Hidden Britain is worth the detour.

A Civil War camp on a Dorset lawn, a great art collection with a mystery at its heart, the Rogers family's modernist gift to the nation, and two castles you can walk into before Friday's next episode.

A Somerset manor in Elizabethan stone, a Staffordshire garden with an Egyptian pyramid, a Scottish castle whose Great Hall has just reopened, and a Shropshire house with a Civil War priest-hole.

Henry VIII's Cornish fortress is getting a £2.3m upgrade. Plus a Tudor re-enactment weekend at Penshurst Place, the Gainsborough, Turner and Constable exhibition in Sudbury, 19 Welsh sites free this September, and a Rembrandt and Vermeer you can see for nothing on Hampstead Heath.
