Alistair Moffat: The North Sea

A fascinating exploration of our nearest coastline. 

Alistair Moffat spent a year travelling the North Sea shores to better understand our relationship to this life-giving and destructive sea. Running from Kent and the Rhine estuary to the Norwegian coast and the tip of the Shetland islands, it has been home to warring tribes, foreign invaders, lost civilisations and holidaymakers. Along the way he discovered stories as old as time, meeting technological advances in wind farming, as well as a body of water so powerful and destructive it is claiming more and more shoreline every year.
