Describing the area, Griff says: “This region has one of the lowest population densities in the whole of the country. Limited road and rail connections mean that it is also one of the most inaccessible parts of Wales and it’s these factors that lend this area a certain other worldliness.” Griff starts his journey deep in the countryside in a tree house which can be rented as a holiday cottage.
