Derek is back with eight more incredible walks around Wales. In this edition, he is on ranger duties at a country estate in Carmarthenshire, exploring Dinefwr Park's 800 acres of magical medieval landscape and getting close to a very rare cattle breed. In the Vale of Glamorgan, Derek is joined by Olympian Colin Jackson. Together they explore a five-mile coastal route that has it all - dinosaur footprints, WWII gun battery remains, the site of a major communication breakthrough and an iconic Victorian pier.

Cadair Idris is a mountain steeped in legend and mythology - it's also one of Wales's most spectacular summits. Derek Brockway climbs to three peaks in this range and even braves a quick dip in its glacial lake. In the Brecon Beacons, it's a much more relaxing route with singer and broadcaster Beverley Humphreys. Together, they walk in the footsteps of one of history's most impressive sopranos, Madame Adelina Patti, exploring her former castle estate at Craig y Nos Country Park.

In the last episode in the series, Derek is joined by two guides who have both used walking to assist them on their very different but personal journeys. Musician Jules Peters takes Derek on her favourite walk in Wales, a stunning section of the Llyn coastal path which ends at a famous beach bar. Jules explains how walking every day helped her to cope with her breast cancer treatment. On the Welsh border in Presteigne, Derek is with a man who walked the entire 1,100-mile perimeter of Wales to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's. Tom Davies takes Derek on a small section of his Welsh wander which includes the Offa's Dyke path.
