Walking Through History Season 2 Episode 3

In the late 18th century there was a sure-fire way to earn a living along the Cornish coast: smuggling. The tiny secretive harbours, beaches and secluded coves were ideal for the infamous illicit imports: brandy for the parson, tobacco for the clerk… It’s also great walking country, as Tony discovers in his four-day trek along the stunning coastline between Plymouth and Falmouth.
