Publisher: Ebury Publishing
Free delivery available · Amazon buyer protection
Along our shores, towering cliffs from the age of the dinosaurs rise beside wide estuaries teeming with wildlife, while Victorian ports share waterfronts with imposing fortifications. This is Britain's spectacular coastline, shaped by millions of years of geological drama and centuries of human endeavour.
The people who have lived, worked and played on these shores - from Stone Age fishermen to seafarers, chart-makers and surfers - have an incredible tale to tell. Their stories bring to life the extraordinary relationship between the British people and the sea that surrounds them.
Coast: Our Island Story is an enthralling account, sparkling with geography, history, adventure and eccentric characters, told with Nick Crane's trademark charisma and wit.
