Matt Baker continues his survey of Britain’s hidden gems in the second episode of Matt Baker’s British Isles, airing Tuesday at 9 PM BST on More4. This week’s itinerary takes him from the workshops of iconic car makers to the hills of Wales, where he meets people whose passions are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit.

In North Wales, Baker connects with Paul Lewin, a dedicated preservationist working tirelessly to maintain the world’s oldest independent railway. From there, it’s on to Dumfries and Galloway to meet a self-taught culinary innovator who’s found his niche in the world of mushrooms.

Rounding out the episode is a visit with Northern Ireland’s only female harbourmaster, highlighting those blazing trails in traditionally male-dominated fields.
