2: NEW ZEALAND OR CORNWALL? The riddle of the sands: Is there really a world of difference between Apple Tree Bay Beach on South Island and the beaches and coves of West Cornwall? The choice is yours . . .
6: TURKEY OR LAND’S END? Setting the scene: What could be more Mediterranean than an open-air amphiteatre like the one at Antiphellos? Unless, of course, it’s the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno
4: BRITTANY OR DEVON? Mystery vista: It seems that two dramatically sweeping bays can be very similar, even when one is St-Cast-Le-Guildo, France, and the other is Blackpool Sands near Dartmouth
8: HAWAII OR SCOTLAND? A racing certainty: The tide’s sweeping into Lossit Bay on the Isle of Islay . . . and also the volcanic island of Maui. But which scene is in Hawaii and which is in the Inner Hebrides?
