Neil Oliver is introduced to the joys of Victorian-style sea bathing in Ilfracombe.

Documentary series. Neil Oliver is introduced to the joys of Victorian-style sea bathing in Ilfracombe, and Nick Crane climbs Exmoor's sea cliffs.

Documentary series. Thanks to the toil of Welsh miners, who dug tunnels through solid rock to open up the beaches of Ilfracombe, wild swimmer Kate Rew is able to introduce a reluctant Neil Oliver to some of the more surprising joys of sea bathing Victorian style. 

On Exmoor's treacherous sea cliffs, Nick Crane is challenged to a sideways climb that was inspired by the conquest of Everest. He meets the men who set a record for this uniquely British endurance test, and finds out why, decades on, that feat has yet to be equalled. And we see how a mud horse fisherman collects his catch.
