Hilbre is the largest in a chain of three tidal islands that lie at the mouth of the Dee estuary, a rare outpost of wilderness in this most industrial corner of England. It is home to a surprising range of wildlife and has become an important stopping off point for many migratory birds, as well as being a magical place of escape for local people. This film is a labour of love that tries to capture the feeling of summer on the islands. It follows the lives of the residents and the seasonal visitors, the beauty of the flora and the awe inspiring tides that cut Hilbre off from the mainland. Music and image combine to transport the viewer to a place of peace, where the modern world seems like a distant memory. Watch in 4k UHD - http://vimeo.com/ondemand/hilbre4k
