16. I loved Hinterland, partly because it was filmed near where my great grandfather came from

Devil's Bridge, the location that was used for the children's home is only a couple of miles from the little village where my ancestors lived. While my husband and I were in the UK in 2019, we visited both the village and Devil's Bridge - took the train from Aberystwyth to Devil's Bridge on a rainy day so we couldn't walk around much, but it was still neat.

The landscape there is beautiful. We got to see the church where my great great grandparents were married, my great grandfather was baptized, and in the churchyard, where my great great grandfather and several of his sons were buried. Then we spent a day at the National Library of Wales doing genealogical research. Fun time!
