Holyhead Breakwater Country Park

Iolo Williams explores wildlife havens. He learns how Holyhead Breakwater Country Park transformed from an industrial site into an urban park.

Iolo Williams finds amazing wildlife in a once-abandoned old industrial site turned urban park on the coast of Anglesey. Holyhead Breakwater Country Park is now a pleasant escape for people and a place where he discovers sparrowhawks, little owls and the charismatic chough.

He has a magical encounter with a weasel and gets up close to grasshoppers. In late autumn, filming coincides with the tail end of Hurricane Gonzalo, giving a chance to see the grey seals frolicking in wild seas.
