Justin explores Essex's coastline which meanders for over 350-miles and under its famous big skies visits golden sandy beaches, colourful with piers and beach huts and then around silvery estuaries peaceful but for the cries of birds and flap of sails. Its secretive coast hides over thirty-five islands and a capillary-like network of creeks that branch out and get lost in mile upon mile of wonderfully lonely marshland. Inland he explores the gently rolling medley of golden farmland and ancient forest dotted with historic towns and sleepy villages, thatched cottages and timber-framed buildings.
