Wild Cornwall

Coast continues to uncover the secrets of our shores, through untold tales of explorers from as far apart as Cornwall and Australia; it reveals little-known gems, including a coastal walk that takes in the history of Britain; investigates the clandestine sex trade that scandalised Victorian Britain and decimated the Royal Navy; discovers how Greenwich became the global centre of sea navigation and reveals what becomes of our coast in winter. Coast also crosses the Atlantic to find out why Nova Scotia, in Canada, appealed to its Scottish settlers, and it ventures to the French channel coast to unearth its connection with the birth of Britain's Ordnance Survey maps.

The BAFTA award-winning series Coast returns for a brand new journey around the British Isles and for the first time visits the shores of our European neighbours.
Revealing the secrets of our coastline… and our neighbours' too! Coast and Beyond tells the exciting stories behind the familiar and lesser-known wonders of the British coastline, and ventures for the first time beyond our shores to explore their many and fascinating relationships with the neighbouring coasts of northwest Europe and northern France.
