Britain from Above clips

As I have just been saying over on GMPAY , the BBC are allowing bloggers to legally embed video from their Britain from Above website into blogs. The following clips have some relevance to the Higher course...

Firstly, an explanation of the Great Glen.....




And secondly, a view of a stretch of coastline which is eroding fast!




I visited Happisburgh (pronounced Haysburgh)a couple of summers ago and even from the ground it was easy to see the dramatic effects of coastline retreat...And finally, as we are about to embark on our case study of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, here is some Britain from Above footage which looks at the designation of green belts and national parks.
