The English Channel is the busiest waterway in the world. Ferries
steam back and forth, trains thunder through the tunnel. The narrow
sea has been crucial to our development and prosperity. It helps
define our notion of Englishness, as an island people, a nation of
seafarers. It is also our nearest, dearest playground where people
have sought sun, sin and bracing breezes. Tom Fort takes us on a
fascinating, discursive journey from east to west, to find out what
this stretch of water means to us and what is so special about the
English seaside, that edge between land and seawater. He dips his
toe into Sandgate's waters, takes the air in Hastings and Bexhill,
chews whelks in Brighton, builds a sandcastle in Sandbanks,
sunbathes in sunny Sidmouth, catches prawns off the slipway at
Salcombe and hunts a shark off Looe. Stories of smugglers and
shipwreck robbers, of beachcombers and samphire gatherers, gold
diggers and fossil hunters abound.
