The Yorkshire coast, a stunning 100-mile stretch, attracts tourists to its beaches, but the new episode of Yorkshire By the Sea reveals more to this area of Britain than sand and sea. The documentary series meets locals who embody the spirit of Yorkshire’s coastal communities, from Hornsea to Burton Constable and Whitby.
Liam, a new recruit, joins the independent lifeboat team in Hornsea. His journey to becoming a certified lifesaver at sea involves enduring rigorous tests and training. Meanwhile, in Burton Constable, a fascinating discovery washes up on the Holderness shoreline—the remains of an ocean giant that inspired the literary classic Moby Dick.
Glampsite owners Ed and Verity showcase their entrepreneurial spirit by creating a unique tent with a view. Their bespoke accommodation offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience, providing stunning views of Whitby’s gothic abbey.
Yorkshire By the Sea airs Monday, 26 August 2024, at 8:00 pm on Channel 4.
