Alistair Appleton returns to Wales to catch up with two couples whose interests and hobbies helped them settle swiftly into their new communities.

First, he revisits a couple who bought one of the beautiful houses they viewed on their 2021 Escape to the Country property hunt, discovering that their passion for golf has helped them to forge new friendships - and rekindle old ones - both on and off the golf course. Then he reconnects with former house-hunters in Pembrokeshire. Four years on, they have settled into country life, and Alistair finds out how their faith has helped them to connect with the local community.

Sonali Shah heads for the West Country counties of Cornwall and Devon to catch up with former house-hunters who have settled there.

First, she makes her way to Cornwall, where she meets up with a couple she took house-hunting back in 2021 to find out how their new rural home near the coast is suiting them after 25 years abroad. Next, Sonali pops across the border to Devon to visit a young couple who had grand ambitions to tap into the county's tourist trade. Just one year on, she discovers that they've wasted no time in establishing a business and are in the process of creating their dream home, all in acres of beautiful Devonshire countryside.
