Channel 5 - Walking Britain's Lost Railways (2018) Part 6 Wales

Rob Bell revisits lines decommissioned in the 1960s and celebrates the new life that has been created from their remains.

Part 6 Wales

Rob Bell visits Wales to examine the story of a lost line between Ruabon and Barmouth. The route represented a sea-change in how ordinary Victorian working families were granted affordable access to the landscape and language of the Welsh heartlands. He takes a trip across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct - the oldest and longest navigable aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest in the world - and goes canoeing in Lake Bala. In Dolgellau, Rob meets a local harpist and hears the sounds that became intrinsically tied to the image of Wales.
