The British Village Waiting for Its End
In east England lies a small village called Covehithe. The unusual thing is: it will not exist for much longer. The settlement sits so close to the water that, sooner or later, it will fall victim to coastal erosion and be swallowed by the sea. But why is Covehithe not being saved? And how are the residents dealing with this? Find out in my new video.
