What can we expect from this episode
In this episode, viewers can watch as miniature steam engines compete for “best in show” honours at Poole Quay. The proud owners of these beautiful one-fourth, one-third, and one-half scale models of full-size steam engines offer rides to fans of all ages.
Bournemouth, a popular tourist destination, is located a short distance along the coast. The town is renowned for its beaches, Victorian architecture, and world-famous piers. The whale that washed up in 1897 next to Boscombe Pier is discussed. Crowds flocked to see the skeleton of the 70-foot mammal, widely believed to be a blue whale, for the next 7 years it was displayed on the pier.
During one of the busiest times of the year, we go behind the scenes at one of the last remaining family-run hotels in Bournemouth. Providing the kind of polished service that guests expect takes hard work.
The ancient chalk giant is a prominent landmark above the village of Cerne Abbas. Open Gardens is an annual summertime event where residents of the village can stroll through the gardens of their neighbours and take in the wide range of plant species and aesthetic approaches to gardening that can be found there.
We’re joining the officers who keep watch over the second largest natural harbour in the world, Poole Harbour. They spend their days on the water, enforcing the speed limit for boats and jet skis, guiding larger ships into and out of the harbour, and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Narrated by Alan Titchmarsh, this series explores the rolling countryside, charming seaside towns and dramatic coastlines of Dorset, and examines the everyday lives of the people who live there, from locals to holidaymakers and farmers to wildlife conservationists.
