Synopsis

Neil Oliver presents a journey around the coast of the UK. Coast travels from the jagged mountains of Arran to the English border at Gretna, along Scotland's south west coast.

The team visit the sand dunes where Alfred Nobel created the world's largest explosives factory, the only place in the UK ever visited by Elvis Presley.

Also, the vast windswept mudflats of the Solway Firth that are a haven for barnacle geese and a nightmare for the local coastguards rescuing illegal cockle pickers.
