Vanishing Villages
John Craven and Matt Baker are on the east coast of England to find out how storms are devouring the coastline, putting homes and livelihoods at threat. John is in Happisburgh in north Norfolk which loses two metres of land to the sea every year, a rate predicted to accelerate in the near future. One resident has already lost her home but has bought another in the town, while a neighbour is watching her house edge ever closer to being claimed by the sea, the same sea she swims in to help with her anxiety. \n\nMatt is in Suffolk and discovers how wildlife is flourishing where the sea has reclaimed the land, and we meet the farmer who is also letting nature have its way with an eye to the future with salt marsh lamb.\n\nTom Heap is also in East Anglia, investigating the threat to Britain’s breadbasket, while Adam Henson looks into the impact of new farm payments. And, in the first of a four-part strand, Adrian Chiles is in north Wales, rolling up his sleeves to find out just what it takes to be a hill farmer.
