Overview

In episode six, Griff travels to Llandudno, known as the Naples of the North, to Conwy to see its famous castle and also visits the oldest living tree in Europe. Griff’s journey begins in a lighthouse on Great Orme, converted into a B&B with stunning views over the Irish Sea. Here Griff receives this week’s challenge, which is to track down a traditional Welsh dresser, an item of furniture that was synonymous with this part of Wales. Welsh dressers tended to be owned by farmers as they were the wealthiest people in the area.
