0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I knew I wanted to work - with wildlife when I left school.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- I really didn't like that...

0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Talerddig is over there - and behind us is Llanbrynmair.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- You were brought up on a farm.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- Didn't you want to become a farmer?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- I have two brothers at home.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- There's plenty of work to do - on the farm...
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- ..but not enough money in it.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- So I decided - to find alternative work.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- Getting planning permission - was the difficult part.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- It took three years - for the project to be approved.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19- We had to raise the money to pay - for turbines and construction work.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- It was an interesting - but challenging project.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- It was very costly.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- What sort of figure?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- This 12 turbine project - cost 20 million.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- 20 million?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Yes, we turned to London-based banks - to raise the capital.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- The 12 turbines - generate enough electricity...
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- ..to power 9,500 homes every year.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54- Do you come here every day - to check they're turning?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Not every day. I can monitor the - wind farm on my computer at home.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- I keep an eye on them from there.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- I can control the turbines remotely.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- If any problems occur, - I deal with them over the Internet.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- These wind turbines are enormous.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- I expected more noise.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21- They're very quiet, considering - I'm standing underneath them.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- I tell people who are in two minds - about them to come here...
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- ..and experience them - for themselves.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- I encourage people - to stand underneath them...
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- ..before they make up their minds.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Exactly. How tall is this one?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- It measures 80 metres in height...
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- ..to the top of the blade - when it's fully erect...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- ..and a hub height of 50 metres.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- It produces 1.3 megawatts.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- The next time I dry my curls in - this area, I'll think of you, Sion.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- Or when you put the kettle on.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- This stone castle was commissioned - by King Henry III of England.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- This wasn't the first castle - to be built locally.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- The first - was a motte-and-bailey castle...
0:37:13 > 0:37:18- ..a building with a wooden keep - erected on a mound of earth.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- The motte-and-bailey castle was a - mile from here, near a small river.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35- In the year 1074, the Norman - Roger de Montgomery came here...
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- ..and built a motte-and-bailey - castle on the mount.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Montgomery gave his name - to the English name for the area.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- By the year 1105, the castle was in - the hands of Baldwin de Boulers.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- He gave this place its Welsh name - Trefaldwyn - Baldwin's town.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Around the year 1223...
0:38:07 > 0:38:13- ..King Henry III built a new stone - castle on the hill above Montgomery.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49- An elevated castle...
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- ..is far more threatening - than somewhere in a valley.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- This was the most fortified castle - in the Marches.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05- When you entered the Marches, - you saw Montgomery Castle.
0:39:06 > 0:39:11- From here, you can see - the Severn Valley in all its glory.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- However, the castle and Rhyd Chwima - isn't the area's crowning glory.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- The crowning glory - is the town of Montgomery itself.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- It's been dozing in its remote, - green corner of Wales for centuries.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Join me after the break...

0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Let's go back to the chat I had - with Iolo Williams earlier.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Tell me about this area.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- What sort of place - is Montgomeryshire?
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- Montgomeryshire - is an extremely rural area.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10- It has no coastline.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- It's an area where the landscape - is just like the local people.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19- It's warm.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- This is a wonderful area.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- You don't hear much Welsh spoken - in the area where I live...
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- ..but that changes when you go - to north Montgomeryshire...
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- ..to places like Llanfyllin, - Llanwddyn, Penybontfawr...
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- ..Llanfair Caereinion - and Dyffryn Banw.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- You hear more Welsh spoken there.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- It's a brilliant place - for me to live...
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- ..because I'm only two hours from - Cardiff and two hours from Bangor.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50- I love living here.
0:40:51 > 0:40:57- How would you sell Montgomeryshire - to people as a holiday destination?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- I'd ask people - not to come here on holiday...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- ..so that I can keep the place - all to myself.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- I love the fact - that it's quiet here!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- No - there are lots of things - to do here.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- It's an excellent place for walking.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- You have the Berwyn mountain range - and Pumlumon mountain.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- If you're into photography...

0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Will you live here forever?
0:41:46 > 0:41:47- Will you live here forever?- - Yes.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52- I'll always live in Montgomeryshire, - without a shadow of a doubt.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- I don't know if I'll live - in this house forever.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Maybe when I'm old - and in a wheelchair...
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- ..I won't be able to get around - and I'll have to move.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- But I won't leave Montgomeryshire.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Thank you, Iolo.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- Let's visit Welshpool, - which is a stone's throw from here.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Trallwng, the Welsh name for - the town, means 'very wet place'...
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- ..and in English, it was called Pool - before it became Welshpool.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- An old canal - runs between Welshpool and Newtown.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- Powys Castle is near Welshpool.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- This was the residence of the - Powys royal family 800 years ago.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46- In 1578, the castle - was sold to the Herbert family.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- The castle has changed a great deal - over the years...
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- ..but parts of the original castle - still remain.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05- The castle and gardens are currently - managed by the National Trust.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- From Welshpool to Newtown, - the largest town in Powys.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- Around 12,000 people live there.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- It may be called Newtown...
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- ..but it's been a market town - for over 700 years!
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- At one time, it was famous - for its woollen industry.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30- This breathtaking view - can be seen from a special home...
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- ..near the border - between England and Wales.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39- Facing west towards Wales, - it's home to Rena and Tim Clarke.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45- Thanks to their efforts, the house - has been renovated and extended...
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- ..without losing - its original character.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- It's a traditional, Welsh longhouse.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00- The farmer lived in one room and - the animals lived in the other room.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05- The animals went into the warm room, - where the fireplace stood.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- We wanted a bigger house, - to capitalize on the view.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18- That's why we tried to be - sympathetic with the tradition...
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- ..in keeping - with the original building.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- We built an oak-framed extension.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- What did you have to do - in order to make it habitable?
0:44:34 > 0:44:36- We just about squeezed in.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- Five of us lived here - for a couple of years.
0:44:40 > 0:44:45- It took time to get planning - permission and to build the house.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- I like unusual things.
0:44:48 > 0:44:52- I am not a minimalist, - when it comes to interior design!
0:44:52 > 0:44:57- I surround myself with things which - say something about my family...
0:44:57 > 0:44:59- ..and my family's interests.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15- I wanted the kitchen - to be the heart of the home.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- We spend lots of time in here.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20- We have four children...
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- ..and they come and go, - as they do these days.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29- We all congregate here, so the - kitchen is the heart of our home.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31- Do you enjoy cooking?
0:45:32 > 0:45:33- Yes, I love to cook.
0:45:34 > 0:45:35- I find it very relaxing.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39- There's nothing better - than to cook for a full table.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- I enjoy eating and drinking - with a group of people.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45- Did you choose the colours?
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- Yes. There was once - 20 shades of pink in this kitchen.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- I wanted something warm.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56- I get fed up with white!
0:45:56 > 0:46:01- We've used a bit of white but - I wanted something warm in here.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04- You have an eclectic taste.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06- Yes, I suppose.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- You collect items - from lots of different places.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- Yes, and it's time to stop now - because we have more than enough!
0:46:14 > 0:46:18- It would take another lifetime - to use them all!
0:46:18 > 0:46:19- I use these plates.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- I take a plate off the wall - when I cook a special meal.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- I don't keep things - just as ornaments.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- We have a lot of old glasses too - and we use everything.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- Would anything persuade you - to move away from here?
0:46:45 > 0:46:46- I'm not sure.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- I'm really fond of this area.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51- Perhaps I'd move closer to the sea.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- I love the sea too, and I have - relatives in Pembrokeshire.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00- I can't even imagine - living anywhere but here.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- I can see why.
0:47:08 > 0:47:12- That brings our visit - to Montgomeryshire to an end.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- I hope you enjoyed it.
0:47:14 > 0:47:18- See you next time, - when I'll be in the Carmarthen area.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20- Until then, goodbye.
