| 0:07.0 | Can I have a little tour? |
| 0:18.0 | You can, it's changed since the walkers have been here. |
| 0:22.5 | But yeah, it's on the market. |
| 0:25.4 | At the very heart of the salt path is this quirky whitewashed stone building |
| 0:31.2 | surrounded by fields in rural Wales. |
| 0:34.4 | It's there at the beginning of the story |
