More from Coastal Stories
As the shipping forecast reaches its broadcast centenary on January 1st 2024, here's a look back to its beginnings and a tribute to the place it has found in our cultural affections.
The Christmas Day dip is a growing tradition around our coasts. This episode celebrates those hardy swimmers and tells the remarkable story of the greatest Christmas Day swimmer of them all - Herbert Wray of Grimsby.
Coastal Stories is back for a fifth series! At last! I know! Exciting. We kick off with the secrets and mysteries of Spurn Point, a spindly finger of land off the coast of East Yorkshire.
In April 1921 a tiny fishing village on the east coast of Scotland found its timeless rhythms and routines disrupted by the arrival of film stars and a film crew. A bumper episode to finish series four as we learn what happened when the movies came to Auchmithie.
