Wild Wales (1913)
Perhaps the most interesting single feature of the film is the Abbey of Valle Crucis at Llangollen, England, built in 1200 A.D. by Cistercian Monks from France. It is today a remarkably well preserved specimen of the later Norman architecture. Magnificent pictures of the romantic Welsh mountain scenery are shown. A sparkling, rocky little brook is introduced to us as the source of the famous River Dee. Further down, at Llangollen, we catch a glimpse of a salmon fisherman seated in an odd little tub-like craft, known as a "coracle." Bettws-y-Coed is a curious sort of waterfall, not unlike a great bunch of dowers in appearance. Several remarkable bridges, one of which was built by the Romans, and a charming view of Dolwyddelan castle, are other features of this picture. The film closes with a close view of a certain Jenny Jones, a typical old Welshwoman, clad in the conventional garb of the country.
