Wales has the ability to capture all those who visit which means many never want to leave our gorgeous country. This effect was felt by TV presenter Adrian Chiles when he left north Wales after spending time there learning about hill farming on BBC One's Countryfile.
The TV presenter had been spending a lot of time in north Wales, near Dolgellau, learning about hill farming and staying with local farmer Emlyn Roberts and his family. He has learnt about just how hard farming can be from making a living from lamb sales to looking after cattle and how Emlyn supplements his income with renewable energy and said he felt "emotional" when leaving.
At the end of his stay, Adrian thanked Emlyn in Welsh and said he would happily come back to work with him. In the car on the way home, Adrian said: "I must admit, I feel a bit emotional now I'm leaving. It's been such an incredible experience."

In his final task on the farm Adrian was taught the art of hedge laying. He described this as "the most satisfying thing I've done in ages".
Adrian also spoke to the local community at Dolgellau Rugby Club about the future of farming in Wales. One local, Peredur Jenkins said it would be a "disaster, not only economically, culturally" to lose farming in the area.
Peredur also spoke about the importance of the Welsh language. He said: "We've also got the added pride in our own language, as well. Now if you lose the farming community, your language is going to be decimated. We need support to maintain the language as well."
