In More Detail....
No Tourism - Wales is closed to tourists with hotels, campsites, visitor attractions all closed. We speak to the owner of Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages on how they're managing.

Horticulture - it's peak gardening season but the horticulture industry is nipped in the bud. We hear from a family run garden centre and a grower in Cilgerran, struggling for survival

Farming - resonances of the Foot and Mouth Disease crisis of 2001. Dramatic falls in farmgate prices hit livestock and dairy producers. We hear a plea from an artisan cheesemaker for support at this difficult time

Working together - in north east Wales, community groups are being invited to apply for a special fund to help them provide local services during the Coronavirus pandemic

and give us this day, our daily walk in the Vale of Ffestiniog!
