North Wales

Julie's journey from Cardigan Bay to Liverpool begins in Aberystwyth, Wales, where she was once "banned from every pub" in the town, so she heads off! Travelling north she arrives at Tywyn – famous for its heritage steam railway and the inspiration behind Thomas the Tank Engine.

Next, Llwyngwril, where the tiny community is literally trying to knit itself famous by "yarn bombing" the whole village. Then on over the beautiful Barmouth Bridge to Boston Lodge, home of the oldest working locomotive builders in the world. She tries her hand at carriage painting before catching the famous Ffestiniog railway through Snowdonia National Park.

Julie takes a trip on the fastest zip wire in Europe, based in a huge, semi abandoned, slate quarry. Then on to Llandudno to meet sheep farmer Dan Jones who ‘won' his million pound coastal hillside farm for a pound a year rent. It's tupping time and Julie must help prepare the rams for breeding.

Before Liverpool there is time to drop off at Flint and the largest pet cemetery in Europe. Sceptical at first Julie is won over by the sheer attachment people have for their animals. Final stop Liverpool, where Julie first started her acting career and time for that drink she was denied in Aberystwyth!
