Series 12: 5. Beddgelert, Fisherman's Walk



Derek-the-Weather visits the stunning village of Beddgelert in Snowdonia to walk a six-mile circular route with awe-inspiring views. On his way he visits a copper mine, helps National Trust volunteers build a footpath and learns the heroic – but fanciful – story of a hound that gave the village its name. Meanwhile, wildlife expert Lizzie Daly gets up early to photograph mountain goats, and Onkar Singh Purewal lends a hand to top off a slate sculpture inspired by the landscape.
