Told through a series of walks beside the sea, this is a story of
the most beautiful 742 miles of coastline in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland: their rocks, plants and animals, their views,
walks and history, and the people who have made their lives within
sight of the waves. As he travels along coastal paths, visits
beaches and explores coves, Barkham reflects on the long campaign
to protect our shoreline from tidal erosion and human damage and
weaves together fascinating tales about every aspect of the coast -
from ancient conquests and smuggler's routes, to exotic migratory
birds and bucket-and-spade holidays - to tell a more profound story
about our island nation and the way we are shaped by our shores.
