BBC One - Villages by the Sea, Series 4, Cushendall

Ben Robinson explores Cushendall, one of the finest Georgian villages in Northern Ireland.

Ben Robinson travels to Cushendall in Northern Ireland to explore the Curfew Tower and schoolhouse, built by its forward-thinking 19th-century merchant landlord.

Ben Robinson travels to Cushendall, one of the finest planned Georgian villages in Northern Ireland. It was owned and shaped by a series of owners but most notably its 19th-century merchant landlord Francis Turnly. The forward-thinking man hoped to try out his ideas for a new global order – ideas akin to such organisations as today's UN and the WHO. He also built an intriguing tapered tower, from which he rang a curfew bell to keep his villagers in check.
