Jazzy Whipps and Benny Ngo take to our screens for this year’s See Hear on Tour: the east coast. The pair take to the wheel of their campervan on a road trip to discover the rich history and culture this coastline has to offer.

Their first stop on the tour is Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island. It’s one of the most important centres of early English Christianity, where Irish monks once settled in AD 635. The island is connected to the mainland by a causeway that you can walk across during the correct tide times. Here, Jazzy and Benny take a tour and sample some it’s famous honey wine known as Lindisfarne mead.

The pair head to Hull Deaf Club as they meet couple Brian and Shirley Akam, some of the oldest members of the club, who have been visiting the club for decades. Here we discover its roots and the history behind deaf culture in Hull.

Blakeney Point in Norfolk is known for its wide open spaces, salt marshes and rich wildlife, and is home to England's largest grey seal colony. The first seal pup was born at Blakeney Point in 1988, and the seal colony has been going strong ever since, resulting in this place becoming an important area of scientific research. The best way to spot them is from the water. Jazzy and Benny head out on a boat in search of them, but will they succeed in spotting one?

Later, we meet Norfolk-born local Lara Scott to find out more about the area. The group take a trip to Cromer Pier to learn about the famous Cromer crabs that are caught just off the coast in the North Sea. Due to it’s nutrient-rich waters in this area, it means the crabs are extra flavoursome and have become one of Norfolk’s most famous exports. The group have a go at crabbing right off the Cromer Pier and sample some of this infamous local crab.

For their final stop on the tour, Jazzy and Benny head south down the coast to Lowestoft and take to the saddle for some horse riding along the
beach… how will they get on?
