Spectacular Southern Structures

Derek is hunting down his most terrific treks from the south. His first quest is an adventure between two captivating castles - Caerphilly and Castell Coch, where he gets the chance to don a full suit of armour.

Next, Derek is in Gower walking from Fall Bay to Oxwich, where he discovers a mysterious clifftop hideaway and learns how this area used to be a haven for smugglers. On the way, he tries abseiling, cold water swimming and foraging for seaweed.

The last walk Derek remembers is in the wonderful Wye valley, where he marvels at one of the UK’s first tourist walks, takes to the water in a canoe and visits the awe-inspiring Tintern Abbey, where he witnesses the relics of a remarkable archaeological excavation.
