Bird's-Eye view: Beside the Seaside

on BBC Two England

by Sir John Betjeman
An aerial tour of the English seaside in the company of John Betjeman

"A swooping seagull takes its flight
From Weymouth to the Isle of Wight
From Cornish cliff tops wild and bare
To crowds at Weston-super-Mare
The seaside seen as history
Bournemouth, Butlin's and Torquay
Whatever paddles, surfs or sails
Braves the waves or rides the gales
A scrapbook made at Christmastime
Of summer joys in film and rhyme."
