The cliffs at the Naze near Walton are erroding at an alarming rate! But locals are trying to slow the process by installing new sea defenses.
David Eagle has been leading this work and showed Owen what they have been doing to try and save the Naze.

069: Beach Hut People - Essex By The Sea
Quirky and colourful beach huts line the Tendring coastline for as far as the eye can see between Clacton and Walton-on-the-Naze.
It's estimated that there's over 3,000 along this stretch of the Essex coast alone.
Each little hut, has many stories to tell, memories to recount and experiences to share.
Nancy Stevenson has written a book called "Beach Hut People" telling those stories of those who use beach huts along the Frinton and Walton coasts.
Owen met Nancy, on Frinton Greensward over looking the beach huts to find out more of Nancy's research.
