Coastlines: The Story of Our Shore

Told through a series of walks beside the sea, this is the story of the most beautiful 742 miles of coastline in England, Wales and Northern Ireland-its rocks, plants and animals, its views, walks and history- and all of us, the people of this island nation, shaped by our shore.
