| Hint to the Treasure | A symbol of Wales |
| Start Position | Dyffryn Gardens, west of Penarth |
| Clue 1 | On an island with a Peter Pan-ish sound, you’re fair set to get waterlogged. But there’s light at the beginning of the tunnel. |
| Leads to | Barry Island funfair – log flume ride 1 |
| Clue 2 | Down by the Cymru old folk homes, see red among the black sheep outside the school. |
| Leads to | Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans 2 |
| Clue 3 | Touch down among Terry Holmes’s boys where Annie has a sporting chance to catch what W. W. Ellis picked up. |
| Leads to | Cardiff Arms Park rugby ground – on the ball 3 |
| Clue 4 | A Bute-iful hillside extravaganza holds papilionaceous intelligence above the spinning ladies. |
| Leads to | Castell Coch – attached to a butterfly on a pillar 4 |
| Clue 5 | Choose cheese, then try Clare’s taste of Pisa, followed by a touch of Y Ddraig Goch. |
| Leads to | Caerphilly Castle – in a crevice in one of the towers 5 |
| Result | The contestants ran out of time on the final clue |
| Notes | |
| 1 | Anneka has to get on the log flume ride and grab the clue that’s hanging from the entrance to the tunnel, before making a sharp descent and receiving a face full of water! |
| 2 | A shepherd is giving a sheepdog trial demonstration and Anneka has to get the clue from the sheep that’s wearing a red ribbon. Much amusement is had as Anneka tries to catch the sheep but only succeeds in chasing them all round the enclosure until they’re eventually rounded up! |
| 3 | Anneka gets involved in a bit of rugby practice and tries to grab the ball, which has the clue attached to it, from the uncooperative rugby players. |
| 4 | Anneka heads for the balcony overlooking the octagonal drawing room and the clue is attached to a butterfly on a pillar situated above the carved statuettes of three spinning ladies. |
| 5 | One of the towers in the castle is leaning and crumbling away and the treasure, a Welsh flag, is tucked inside a crevice in the tower. “Y Ddraig Goch” is Welsh for “The Red Dragon”, the symbol on the Welsh flag. |
