A cinematic 'sketchbook' featuring Anglesey's man-made and natural wonders filmed by artist Charles Tunnicliffe. There are shots of the neolithic burial chamber 'Ty Newydd', Llanfaelog and, at Malltraeth, the viaduct and church - 'Crist y Brenin'. Elsie Holroyd, Tunnicliffe's wife's sister-in-law, is out in the field using binoculars and a group of women sit on a wall and play up for the camera. Turkeys, and the plaiting of a mane at the horse fair are recorded too.
