Devon and Cornwall

The return of the documentary examining life in the two counties, beginning by meeting the people who live and work along the beautiful and rugged coastline. In Looe on the south coast of Cornwall, the whole community gears up for one of the biggest events of the year - the one-mile wild swim from St George's Island back to the town beach. On the heel of Cornwall in Gweek, clean ocean campaigner Steve Green and his band of volunteers paddle to hard-to-reach beaches along the peninsula to rid the shoreline of plastic flotsam.

On Bodmin Moor, apple farmer and cider maker Tom Bray creates a special centenary blend of sparkling cider. And in Cornwall, local artists raise money to build a new granite walkway.

In Newquay, surfer Katy Beddoe is preparing to jump back into competitions after a knee injury, while Cornish horseman David Jones and his daughter Myrtle ready their heavy horses for an old-fashioned ploughing contest. In Ilfracombe in north Devon, harbourmaster Georgina Carlo-Paat takes delivery of a new robotic waterborne litter picker.

In the small fishing village of Polperro in southern Cornwall, harbourmaster Olly Puckey prepares for the arrival of a new storm gate, designed to protect residents, houses and fishing boats from the winter sea surges. In Devon, dairy farmer Jon Perkin hopes visitors at Widdecombe Fair are willing to try his alternative ice-cream and yoghurt, while stonemason Alex Piper and glazier Arthur Bradley must draw on all their skills and experience to save the crumbling vestry window of a church in the Cornish village of Warbstow.
