As a geographical journey of discovery this will set out to review all that is going on around our shores. Whether it is an area under pressure from over development or a wilderness area deserving of protection; a zone at risk from sea level rise or a favourite stretch for those in retirement, it will be visited, evaluated and displayed here as the weeks pass. This is our Coastline - A Coastline of our time.

From Newquay to Land's End
Contentious Cornwall
From the old tin mining areas of St Just in the 'wild west' to the 'stag and hen' territory of Newquay; this coastline sets demands on the way we live and work. The Geography of the place determines the way we use it - but it is not all so good.
Schistophrenic places like Newquay appear to fulfil the family 'bucket and spade' dream during the day and transform themselves to youthful party places by night, dominated by the young.
