Compilation Seaside Theme (27x32)

Air date: Aug 09, 2015

John Craven travels to Llandudno to look at what it takes to make a great summer holiday - a seaside destination is top of his list. He meets the farmer-turned-entrepreneur who's breathing new life into Llandudno's Victorian pier. He strolls along the prom, has an ice cream and finds out why it is that Llandudno has been a top destination since Victorian times. And, like generations before him, he takes the tram to the Great Orme - a tourist getaway that's home to some of the country's rarest flora and fauna. He joins the conservationists on the hunt for one of our rarest butterflies - the silver-studded blue - and meets the farmer whose herd has been specially chosen to help conserve the natural beauty of the Orme, before heading back down to town for the ultimate seaside treat, courtesy of the oldest Punch and Judy show in the UK. Plus, a look back at other summer holiday ideas Countryfile has featured. Including Ellie Harrison paddleboarding off the South Wales coast, Matt Baker taking a sightseeing ride on a motor trike, and Anita Rani walking part of the Pennine Way in its 50th anniversary year.
