Kate Humble's Coastal Britain

Starting on Yarmouth's wooden pier, Kate Humble's journey begins with a boat trip to the Needles, which her Victorian guidebook recommends as the best way to view these impressive chalk stacks

Kate follows the historic East Sussex coastline, beginning on the cliffs overlooking Hastings, a town associated with the Battle of 1066.

Kate follows the iconic white cliffs of Dover on a 15-mile walk of contrasts. Kate's walk begins above Folkestone Harbour at Martello Tower 3, built to defend against Napoleon.

On the Scottish Borders, Kate walks almost 15 miles from the historic fishing village of St Abbs to England's most northerly town, Berwick Upon Tweed. Her trek starts on St Abbs Head, from where she descends to St Abbs harbour, named after a Northumbrian Princess and Saint, Ebba, who was shipwrecked and founded a nearby monastery in the 7th century
