A few miles down the coast from the vanishing town of Dunwich, lies Thorpeness, developed in the early 20^thcentury as a private fantasy holiday village by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie. The coastline in this area has some of the fastest eroding beaches in Europe.

Lost at Sea juxtaposes present day footage and experiences of living in Thorpeness, with excerpts from W.G.Sebald’s Rings of Saturnwhich describe the descent of the once affluent Medieval town of Dunwich, into the sea during a storm.
