Robson gets to try his hand at scallop diving, joining a father and son team in search of tasty local scallops hidden on the sea bed. And finally Robson visits the isolated island of Soay, which only has 3 residents, to find out what life is like being so cut off from the mainland.
Island of Anglesey
In this Episode, Robson travels to the island of Anglesey, off the North coast of Wales, to meet a family who live in an ancient fisherman's cottage in the Menai Straits that they have lovingly restored; a woman who has left her stressful life in the city to set up a paddle boarding company on the island and a couple who have spent 12 years renovating their dream cliff top home with spectacular views over the Irish Sea.
