The rivers of the South Wales coalfields were once so black with mining and industrial waste that in places no fish could survive. But miraculously, salmon have now returned to all of these waterways and rivers such as the Ebbw and the Taff now have fish running up from the sea to spawn. After the closure of the area's coalmines, the physical environment of the valleys of South Wales is very different, and Helen Mark visits them to see how they have changed. She joins keen cyclist Ralph Jones on a bike ride through the beautiful Afan Forest, visits the Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike and Ponds Centre, and meets keen fisherman Tony Rees in Merthyr Tydfil to hear how, nowadays, salmon travel along the Taff from as far away as Cardiff.
