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. A film by Matthias Schwarzer. Transparency note: This thumbnail was edited using AI. The church was digitally added to the cliffs to make it look more interesting. ------------------------------ Source for the video: One of the UK’s ‘best secret beaches’ could disappear soon (Independent): https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/uk-best-secret-beach-disappear-two-decades-b2553009.html This coastal Suffolk village 'won't exist in 100 years' according to experts (Suffolk Live): https://www.suffolklive.com/news/suffolk-news/coastal-suffolk-village-wont-exist-6796445 Investigating the causes of coastal recession and consequences for Shoreline Management Plan policy decisions at Covehithe, Suffolk, UK: https://routesjournal.org/2024/11/24/daniel-oliver/ ------------------------------ Did you enjoy this video?
