A BBC TV series is returning to the North East for the third time to shine a light on one of its coastal villages.
Villages by the Sea, which aims to uncover how the past has shaped some of the UK's best loved coastal village communities, visits Craster and gives an insight into two of its most famous exports - kerb stones and kippers. Presented by archaeologist Ben Robinson, it's not the first time the programme has showcased our coastline, with Ben looking deeper into the history of Bamburgh and Alnmouth in series two last year, and his programme The Story of the Village, he visited Warkworth.
In his latest visit to the North East, Ben finds out how the family and village who both share the Craster name have had their lives and fortunes intertwined for more than 800 years. He learns how, through the generations, the Crasters have used local resources to make their fortunes and in turn have changed the fact of the village.
