Elis James (born in Wales, now living in England) is taking Miles Jupp (born in England, now living in Wales) to see some of the glories of Wales. In this first episode of the series Elis wants to show Miles the spectacular route of the A470 - the main road between south and north Wales. They stop at a bird feeding centre near Rhayader and try to get the best photo of a Red Kite - once endangered but now prolific across Wales. The journey also takes them through Caersws where they encounter a unique row of houses that has to be seen to be believed. They then negotiate the dramatic Bwlch Pass as they enter Snowdonia and stop the night at a quirky B&B near the picturesque Trawsfynydd lake.
