Britain by Beach

In the beach county of Devon, Anita Rani discovers the story of a tragic wartime attack, the secrets of crime author Agatha Christie and the engineering marvel of Brunel's South Devon railway.

In South Wales, Anita takes in the harbour where young Henry Tudor fled into exile, visits the scene of Marconi's world-changing experiment and discovers the beach favoured by poet Dylan Thomas.

Anita visits the east coast of Scotland, where she learns how the Crown Jewels were smuggled out of Dunnottar Castle and explores the remains of fortifications meant to repel German invasion.

Anita tells the story of the Whitby shipwreck that inspired a scene in Dracula, learns of a raid that launched the Viking Age, and hears the tale of the smugglers of Robin Hood's Bay.
