In this brand-new series Kate Humble walks eight beautiful and historic stretches of the British coast, along routes that can be done in a day or a weekend. All her walks follow established national trails, including the east and west coasts of Scotland, two very different coastlines in stunning North Wales, iconic stretches of Kent and Sussex, a hidden corner of Northumberland, and a beautiful wintry walk around the southwestern tip of the Isle of Wight. Along the way she will meet the people who live and work there, while discovering the history, geology and natural history that have shaped some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
1. Isle of Wight Kate takes a trip down memory lane on a wintry walk around the western corner of the Isle of Wight, where she holidayed as a girl.
2. Hastings Kate follows the historic East Sussex coastline, beginning on the cliffs overlooking Hastings, a town associated with the Battle of 1066.
3. Dover Kate follows the iconic white cliffs of Dover on a 15-mile walk of contrasts. Kate's walk begins above Folkestone Harbour at Martello Tower 3, built to defend against Napoleon.
4. St. Abbs, Berwickshire On the Scottish Borders, Kate walks almost 15 miles from the historic fishing village of St Abbs to England's most northerly town, Berwick Upon Tweed.
