Episode 2
In this episode we visit the Isle of Purbeck, taking a scenic ride on the Swanage Steam Railway. Running between Norden and Swanage, it's a fabulous way to travel through the stunning Dorset countryside.
Another tradition is being kept alive at Oxford's, Sherborne's oldest working bakery. Their Dorset apple cake is made to an age-old recipe and baked in their trusty 102-year-old oven.
South of Sherborne lies the 18-mile-long Chesil Beach, protecting Fleet Lagoon from the open sea. This calm body of water is home to an oyster farm run by Charlie Bloxham, who supplies oysters to his father Nigel's popular seafood restaurant. Breeding oysters is not an easy task, but the calm waters are perfect for it, giving the oysters their unique taste.
At Sherborne Abbey, the bell ringers squeeze in a last-minute practice for an important performance - Ring for the King on Coronation Day in honour of King Charles. Meanwhile, on the coast at Weymouth beach, Mark Anderson puts the finishing touches to his latest sculpture made entirely of sand: a Coronation scene featuring King Charles complete with crown.
Northwest of Weymouth, nestled in a sheltered valley, sits Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. Here an astonishing range of exotic plants and trees thrive, protected by the surrounding hills, in their own micro-climate
