I Escaped to the Country

Series 7: 8. South Wales

Alistair Appleton returns to Wales to catch up with two couples whose interests and hobbies helped them settle swiftly into their new communities.\n\nFirst, he revisits a couple who bought one of the beautiful houses they viewed on their 2021 Escape to the Country property hunt, discovering that their passion for golf has helped them to forge new friendships - and rekindle old ones - both on and off the golf course. Then he reconnects with former house-hunters in Pembrokeshire. Four years on, they have settled into country life, and Alistair finds out how their faith has helped them to connect with the local community.
