The summer solstice is the official start of the season, and Countryfile is heading to the seaside to celebrate. Matt Baker and Sammi Kinghorn are in and around the east Devon resort of Seaton, finding out how coastal life is shifting with the times.

Matt returns to Seaton Wetlands, where he helped build a nesting wall for sand martins 12 years ago. He鈥檚 checking in on its progress and helping ring the latest arrivals. Meanwhile, Sammi finds out how the site is managed to support the many birds that live and stop over there.

A fourth-generation fisherman shares how his family鈥檚 way of life has adapted since their local waters became a protected area, before Matt explores what that has meant for local marine life. Back on dry land, Sammi gets hands-on with the traditional craft of wheelwrighting - a skill that kept the countryside moving and still survives today.

Down on his farm in the Cotswolds, Adam Henson has got his hands full with a group of boisterous young animals getting ready to leave the herd.
