If you're planning on marking the weekend with a coastal walk, here's a suggestion to get more out of it: the Open University Coastal Walk podcast. You can pop the guide on your mp3 player, and enjoy a stroll from Slapton Sands in the company of experts in the local landscape and history.

If you can't make it to the coast for yourself, you can still feel the sand between your toes by exploring the extensive Coast website here on Open2.
