Few other states in the US offer such incredibly diverse landscapes as Oregon. In the West almost 400 miles of rugged coastline run along the Pacific Ocean, dotted with charming fishing villages, historic lighthouses and dramatic scenery. Further inland, rivers run through rich valleys, lush green pastures and vineyards. Romantic towns welcome visitors with quaint antique shops, art galleries and covered bridges.
The undiscovered wonder of the USA. This series will showcase the diversity of culture and attractions for the international tourist. Aspects of this hugely diverse area of the USA which the programmes in the series will seek to explore include food and wine ; the ‘real’ West ; coastal and marine life and eco tourism.
