The Welsh Coast: 6. Talacre to Rhyl



Derek Brockway’s in Flintshire, at the most northerly point of mainland Wales. He starts off at the site of the Point of Ayr Colliery, where he meets John Wiltshire, passionate about keeping the memory of the mine alive. Derek also lends a hand, helping endangered species in the sand dunes, and little terns who nest on the beach just over the Denbighshire border. In ‘Sunny Rhyl’ he learns to kitesurf and do the surfers’ shaka.
