By Stephanie Dale
The UK鈥檚 first 鈥榚nvironmental refugees鈥� are due to be displaced in the next 20 years. This is the story of Fairbourne, in North Wales.
Fairbourne鈥檚 council has chosen to stop funding its coastal defences, so in a few years residents may be forced to leave their homes. Fairbourne鈥檚 story begins in the 19th Century, when mill owner Arthur McDougall created the idyllic holiday paradise. But his head builder 鈥� George Stevens 鈥� is plagued by dreams about what is to come.
