Daily Mail UK: A documentary exposing the lifestyle of a small community of naturists in a small village on London's commuter belt will be shown next month. Tina and Mark Yates (pictured above in the community's local pub) have been living in Spielplatz since visiting so that Mrs Yates could overcome body self-consciousness


See village where everyone is naked, goes about naked.....
For the people of Spielplatz in Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, form one of the country's few naked villages, having lived in the nude for more than 85 years.
Their lifestyle has been laid bare in a new documentary offering the outside world a glimpse into naturism.
Among those enjoying life in Spielplatz - which means playground in German - is Iseult Richardson, 82, whose father founded the community in 1929.





Residents also have the option to wear clothes if they want to when it is cold or they are doing daily chores
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.
