Off the Beaten Track with Kate Humble

Kate Humble and her Welsh sheepdog, Teg, continue their journey across the remote Welsh countryside, exploring mid-Wales. In Ponterwyd, they herd sheep for the market, and Kate witnesses first-hand the price disparity between what farmers get for their sheep and what consumers pay. At the Teifi Pools, she discover that Wales is a world leader in protecting its dark skies. Along the River Elan, Kate gets hooked on fly-fishing, and in Llangammarch Wells, Teg has a reunion with three of her pups.
