Wales (S01E06)

Rob Bell travels to Wales to explore the tale of a forgotten railway connecting Ruabon and Barmouth. This route marked a significant shift in allowing regular Victorian families to enjoy affordable access to the beauty and culture of the Welsh countryside. He journeys across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the oldest and longest navigable aqueduct in Britain, renowned as the highest in the world, and experiences canoeing on Lake Bala. In Dolgellau, Rob encounters a local harpist, immersing himself in the melodies that have become emblematic of Wales.
