Matt Baker and Joe Crowley explore the slate landscape of north west Wales, a Unesco World Heritage site, which is being prepared for a new role in rural tourism after securing a grant.

Joe visits Dinorwig Quarry to uncover the rich history of slate mining in the area and the dangerous lives of those who worked tirelessly to extract it. He meets individuals dedicated to preserving the Penrhyn Quarry Hospital and takes part in Wales's first ever raptor count. Meanwhile, Matt visits a family that is keeping the tradition of slate fencing alive, before getting up close to their semi-feral Welsh Carneddau ponies.

In Staffordshire, Adam meets a dairy farmer who, after being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, is raising awareness about the impact of neurodiversity in farming.
