Heritage Coasts (England and Wales)
There are 43 designated Heritage Coasts in England and Wales. The "heritage coast" scheme was initiated to protect the coastline of special scenic and environmental value from undesirable development. Much of the designated coastline is owned by the National Trust, through its Project Neptune appeal.
Some 31% of the coast in England and 42% in Wales is protected under the heritage coast scheme. Many of these coasts are part of larger National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the protected area extends inland for an average of 1 1/2 miles.

"Grand Designs" - Port Mulgrave - North York Moors
A very strange end of the world place with a steep walk down to a port with a truly eclectic selection of fisherman's huts bordering on abstract art. This is just one that seem to have been constructed out of whatever the owners can lay their hand on, driftwood, flotsam and jetsam.
