North Antrim, Northern Ireland
County Antrim's most famous landmark is Giant's Causeway, a stunning array of naturally occurring polygonal basalt pillars. But there are human stories in these parts, too. In 1588, the remains of the Spanish Armada was limping towards Spain after defeat in the English Channel forced its ships to take the long route home around Scotland and Ireland. Treacherous seas south of Giant's Causeway sunk the flagship Girona, killing all but a handful of those on board.When is it on?

- Coast: Top Ten coastal spots in the UK
The BBC Horizon team did a one-off programme in the eighties called 'The Shape of Britain' which involved flying around the coast of Britain whilst local experts acted as guides to tell you what you were seeing. I personally think that this formula worked far more successfully that the one used by Nicholas Crane in Coast, because every time I get drawn into his programme one of his assistants pops-up for ten minutes to tell us all about a nearby town. - Something to say?
