The attractions of north Wales shot by Mr Barber who moved from Birmingham to Cornwall just before the outbreak of WWII. He includes a touch of romance along with shots of 3 piers (Llandudno, Bangor and Beaumaris), 3 lakes (Cwellyn, Padarn and Gwynant), 2 bridges (Menai and Britannia), the St Tudno paddle steamer, the glories of Snowdonia, and hand-shearing at Gwern Gof Uchaf, a farm beneath the mountain Tryfan.
