Inside Britain's secretive naked village in the London commuter belt, where nudists have been stripping off for 85 years. Small community of nudists live in Spielplatz, Britain.

Hertfordshire Village, named after the German word for playground, was founded in 1929.Residents rely on deliveries of food and electrical appliances from outside. Their lifestyle is laid bare More for documentary The Naked Village.

While residents prefer stripping off, they will adorn wellingtons, trousers or appropriate clothing when carrying out tasks like gardening. Trips to their own local pub, swimming sessions and meal times are all performed in the nude.

Earlier this year one woman spoke of how life in the village cured her of body esteem issues. Tina Yates was self-conscious of a scar on her abdomen following an operation, and was taken to Spielplatz by her naturist husband in the hope it may cheer her up. Soon the pensioner had let go of all her previous body hang-ups, and the couple settled in permanently. While those living behind its fences are free of inhibitions, tensions are fraught over an ongoing debate about whether to force visitors to bare all when they come to see family.

There is a desperate need to attract new, younger visitors and residents, as the average age of the village community is well over 60. As well as a permanent home to some 50 residents, Spielplatz also attracts day visitors and others who come to enjoy the freedom of the village green etc.
