Building the Impossible: Season 2, Episode 3

2 - 3: The Longstone

Rob Bell explores the spiritual home of lifesaving - the Longstone lighthouse off the coast of Northumberland, scene of a much discussed rescue attempt by the Victorian lighthouse keeper's daughter, Grace Darling. Rob sees why the lonely beauty of the Farne Islands is not only a refuge for wildlife, but also a deadly trap for mariners seeking refuge from the tempestuous North Sea.
