Around Snowdonia
A timeless landscape steeped in history that is little changed today, but was surely made to be filmed!
Overview
Don your Welsh hat, betgwn and apron, and prepare for a tour of the majestic peaks, castles and coastline of North Wales. Many of the landscapes and towns on view are little changed today (although most of them are in colour these days) - and who would want to? The designation of much of Snowdonia as a national park in 1951 has done much to preserve its beauty.
