Derek Brockway presents the second of two specials originally shown to celebrate the centenary of Dylan Thomas's birth. First he travels to the seaside town of New Quay on Cardigan Bay, where the poet and writer lived with wife Caitlin during the Second World War. Jeff Towns, chairman of the Dylan Thomas Society, joins Derek to explain how Thomas was inspired to write some of his greatest work during this era. For his final walk, to Laugharne, the presenter is accompanied by Thomas's grandaughter Hannah Ellis, who reveals the significance of the town to both her grandparents and her family today
