He explores picturesque Portmeirion, a collection of buildings designed to resemble an Italian village by designer Clough Williams-Ellis. Portmeirion is so much like a stage set it was used as the backdrop for 1960s television show The Prisoner. Whilst in Portmeirion, Griff receives a challenge, to track down the extremely rare and elusive flower, the Snowdon Lily. He seeks out the advice of Portmeirion’s head gardener and is advised to head towards Mount Snowdon if he wants to catch a glimpse of the rare alpine bloom. Then waking up in a tree house in the middle of an ancient woods in Aberdyfi, Griff discovers his challenge - to find the Holy Grail. (Part 3 of 4) (From Wales, in English) (Documentary) G CC
