Coast Series 10

COAST continues to explore, unearthing the unknown stories of our coastline to delight and regale us. This series brings new faces alongside the familiar, all bringing passion, skill and knowledge to reveal eye-opening coastal secrets.

As the experts travel the length and breadth of the British Isles they explore why we all like to be beside the seaside and why it inspires such ingenuity, from the birth of British commercial radio to hiding our ships in plain sight during the First World War; they discover incredible bounties on home shores including an archipelago known as ‘nature’s larder’; investigate how the Irish Sea has shaped our island story and connected our isles; learn how we overcome and work with the challenges of wild waters; and delve into the wealth of natural wonders that is our coastline’s caves and coves.
