John Craven and Vick Hope celebrate new life on the Wembury coast, from high up on the clifftop to the bed of its natural harbour. \n \nThe sea from Wembury to Plymouth makes up the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park – the first place to be given such a title in the UK. Vick joins an (Easter!) egg case hunt on Wembury Beach, learning how to recognise egg cases of the rays, skates and sharks that live around our shores. Vick then ventures out to sea with a dedicated team of marine biologists and volunteers, helping them release spotted ray pups into the Plymouth Sound for the very first time.\n \nJohn meets a clifftop farming family in the midst of calving, who have adapted a 500-cow dairy farm to life beside the ocean. He also takes part in a local conservation initiative creating habitats for rare mining bees. A marine photographer from the area shares his passion for the underwater world along the coast.\n \nFurther up the coast in Norfolk, Adam Henson visits the only outdoor commercial tulip grower in the UK to get a unique insight into large-scale flower farming.
