Country Tracks enjoys the Vale of Ffestiniog

Ellie on the rock cannon

BBC’s production team for Country Tracks has been filming in the Vale of Ffestiniog. Basing themselves in Maentwrog they sampled the hospitality of The Oakeley Arms and The Grapes.  The episode will include a Ffestiniog Railway journey from Blaenau taking in the story of Colonel Campbell, William Madocks, the 200 year old Cob and rock cannons. Broadcast date likely to be early summer.
