A young Sally and Tim Walker arrive in idyllic north Wales, full of dreams of the good life. But the dream turns sour. They are hit by a double whammy of financial ruin - and a terminal illness diagnosis. It’s the reality of the Salt Path’s bleak beginnings. How much of the life they claimed to live in north Wales is true - and how much is just a fairy tale?
