Norfolk and Suffolk: Country & Coast discovers the counties known as the breadbasket of Britain, exploring the famous wild coastlines, deep and green forests and rich heritage dating back over hundreds of years.

From the people harvesting the rich arable farmland to traditional town traders and the individuals catering from an influx of sun-worshipping tourists, we hear their eclectic stories of life in the East of England, set against the stunning landscape of some of the nation's best beaches to the historic architectural background of windmills and ancient Roman forts.

Episode 6

We open 70 feet above Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile with Doug and Mark as they do their morning inspections of a 91-year-old wooden roller coaster. A few miles north on the banks of the River Waveney, Jonny Crickmore is finishing milking his cows and starting the process of turning that morning's milk into an English version of French Brie.

We head to the fantasy village of Thorpeness with its Edwardian boating lake inspired by Peter Pan's Neverland. Here we join sisters Ash and Rebecca as they master the art of rowing and head out to Wendy's Island, almost a mile from the shore. Swapping rowing boats for a powerful motor launch, we next head to the Norfolk Broads, to spend time with rangers Adam and Jess, who have the difficult task of keeping tourism and nature in harmony on what are Britain's largest protected wetlands – home to over a quarter of our wildlife species.

Back on dry land we head south to the town of Newmarket, home of horse racing and the British Racing School. Saddling up ‘Big G', one of the largest racehorses in the stable, is Riley and his classmate Lockie.

Leaving those future winners to their training, we next take a ride on an Iron Horse in the form of a steam engine on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. As the train steams through the stunning Norfolk countryside, the passengers are served high tea and we ride on the foot plate where Stuart and Matt use the fireman's shovel to cook up their own tea: sausages and bacon roasted over the red-hot coals in the locomotives' fire box.
