A West Cumbrian village is set to feature in a popular BBC Two series later this year.
St Bees will be the focus of the channel’s Villages by the Sea, hosted by archaeologist Ben Robinson.
A film crew has recently been in the village and also took place at St Bees School, including an interview with head Andrew Keep.
The series celebrates the rich heritage and cultural significance of coastal villages across the UK and the episode focusing on St Bees delves into its unique history and charm.
St Bees School is a prominent landmark which dates back to 1583 and its connections to the village will be explored.
Mr Keep said: “We are delighted to be part of Villages by the Sea, a programme that captures the essence of what makes coastal villages like St Bees so special.
“As a school with a rich history, we have always felt a close bond with the village and the surrounding region. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase not only the beauty and history of St Bees but also the strength of the community here, which we are proud to be part of.”
The episode is expected to air later this year.
Now in its fourth series, it has already featured Port Carlisle, Arnside and Ravenglass.
