This episode sees Paul head off on an expedition to explore Kent's stunning coastline that stretches over 350 miles, hiding many surprising secrets.

This episode see Paul visit places long on his Kent bucket list – iconic spots on his doorstep but where he's amazingly never set foot before. 

This episode sees Paul explore Kent's beautiful forests – in fact the county is number one in England for the most ancient woodland.  Covering over 10% of Kent's bucolic countryside, Paul meets the people, and animals, who thrive in this stunning backdrop.

In the final episode of the series, Paul heads off in search of the fascinating and unanticipated, discovering Kent's tales of the unexpected.  And his first stop is a real escape into the unknown where he encounters most extraordinary sight – the Red Sand Sea Forts.  Built 13 miles out to sea in the Thames Estuary, these eerie looking WWII anti-aircraft towers proved a great success helping to deter and report incoming German air raids.  Now a rusty relic to the war, Paul is bowled over by this unique monument to Kent's brave history he never knew existed before.
