Farming Above the Capital

Farming within sight of the Principality Stadium, a bold new wildlife reserve in Carmarthenshire, and the lasting impact of the Sea Empress oil spill.

From the hills above Cardiff to the shores of Pembrokeshire, stories of land, legacy and resilience.

At Garth Farm, brothers Ben and Ethan Williams manage livestock just twenty minutes from the city centre — with the Principality Stadium visible from their fields. Rhodri chats to Ethan to hear about the farming systems and how they'd diversified.

In Carmarthenshire, Megan visits Llwyndewi, the first nature reserve created by Initiative for Nature Conservation Cymru, and hears about ambitious plans to restore habitats and strengthen biodiversity.

Marking 30 years since the Sea Empress oil spill, Phil Thompson recalls the dramatic events of February 1996 and reflects on how the disaster reshaped environmental response and local communities.
