Spectacular Southern Structures
Derek explores castles near Cardiff, the coast of Gower and the relics of the River Wye.
Derek is hunting down his most terrific treks from the South 鈥� 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.
