Why are we drawn to a place where the land meets the sea? And what deeper truths emerge when these instincts come together in a journey around England’s shoreline? The Coast is Our Compass is a pilgrimage in search of meaning — an exploration of art, culture, community and the enduring power of nature along the world’s longest managed coastal path.
Martyn Howe reflects on how the coastline shapes our identity, imagination and sense of belonging. Each step along the King Charles III England Coast Path becomes both an outward exploration and an inward reckoning — a meditation on our connections with nature, technology and society, and the delicate balance between them that sustains us all.
