Episode 6

In this episode, visitors at Poole Quay have the opportunity to view some pristine miniature steam engines, all competing for the title of 'best in show'. These exquisite half, third and quarter size replicas of full-size steam engines are roadworthy and proud owners offer rides to enthusiasts of all ages.

A little way along the coast sits the resort town of Bournemouth, known for its beaches, Victorian architecture and famous piers. We hear the story of the whale that washed up beside Boscombe Pier in 1897. The skeleton of the 70-foot mammal, thought to be that of a blue whale, was erected on the pier and attracted crowds for the next 7 years.

We visit one of Bournemouth's last family-run hotels to discover what goes on behind the scenes at one of the busiest times of the year. It takes hard work to give the guests the polished experience they expect.

Cerne Abbas is probably best known for the huge ancient chalk giant cut into the hillside above the village. Each summer, the village holds its Open Gardens event in which villagers can explore their neighbours' gardens, and see the varied planting and diverse garden designs of the village.

We join the Poole Harbour patrol officers who police the world's second largest natural harbour. They spend their days on the water, making sure boats and jet skis observe the harbour speed limit, escorting larger vessels into and out of the harbour, and ensuring everything runs safely and efficiently.
