A good episode of 'Coast' despite the over-dramatisation by some of the presenters. June Tabor's spot was excellent.

Episodes of 'Coast' usually stay available for quite a while.

The 1606/07 tsunami is fiercely disputed - I favour the storm surge myself. The flood coincided exactly with the normal high tide time and one account records it as only being 5 feet above the evening tide that day - not exceptional for the Severn.

The flood levels marked on the various churches either side of the Severn are impressive - just below the 2.5-mile Second Severn Crossing, the flooded area would have been over 10 miles wide.
