The
Beach - Greetings from Studland Bay, one of Britain's finest beaches!
Studland
Bay is a true treasure in the Trust's trove - home to miles of golden,
sandy beaches and the Bankes' Estate; 8,000 acres of prime Dorset
land with the Georgian jewel of Kingston Lacey Manor at its heart.
But
it is also home to a huge headache for the Trust - dogowners, yachtsmen,
horseriders, café owners and nudists all pitched into conflict
with each other against the National Trust.
Julian
91Èȱ¬r is the Trust's affable, open property manager for the area.
He has the somewhat troublesome problem of an eroding beach on his
hands – "I've got less and less beach and more and more
people coming to it…and I've got to do something about it…"
Unfortunately
for him certain villagers disagree with his diagnosis - and solutions.
For
some, Julian himself is the big problem. For others the list of
gripes ranges from financial issues to the slow destruction of the
beach itself.
Meanwhile,
convinced that the Trust are trying to get him and his fellow nudists
off the beach, Barry Freeman rallies the troops for a clothes-free
protest march across the sandy shores.
91Èȱ¬
FOUR explores the intricate negotiating processes that often entangle
the Trust as it engages with the man on the street and tracks the
battle that ensues as members of a disgruntled local community take
on Britain's biggest landowner.
