ROOTS IN WALES
Bringing Wales to the World in Four Dimensions
Starting in September 2026, ROOTS IN WALES is a 10-year project to develop the web’s largest visual record of Wales, while giving any person worldwide with Welsh ancestry the opportunity to link to their ancestral area.
Using Drone Videography and Ground Level Filming/Photography, we aim to provide extensive visual and written records for the following aspects of this wonderful country
EVERY LONG DISTANCE FOOTPATH
We will be filming and documenting
- The Wales Coast Path
- The Cambrian Way
- Offa’s Dyke Path
- The Snowdonia Slate Trail
- The Beacons Way
Each path will be serialised in 5-mile sections, with each section covering as much historical and current information that we find along the way
WELSH INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
Wales was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution.
From slate quarries to copper works and iron forges, Wales built an industrial legacy that reached far beyond its borders.
Roots in Wales will visit, film and document every heritage industrial site that is not on private land
Suggested sites for documentary filming are most welcome
RIVERS OF WALES
From mountain sources to tidal estuaries, the rivers of Wales have helped define its landscapes, communities and journeys for centuries.
Every two months, we will post a documentary about a Welsh river, charting its course from source to mouth and documenting its relationship to Welsh history and the landscape it has helped to shape.
MOUNTAINS OF WALES
From rugged peaks to rolling uplands, the mountains of Wales hold a landscape of solitude, history and enduring presence.
From ancient fortifications to more recent reminders of Welsh industrial history, every peak has its own piece of Welsh history to tell.
From September 2026, expect monthly documentaries about our mountains
Feel free to contact us if you have a favourite mountain you would like us to visit
The South Wales Coalfield
While we will be visiting as many industrial heritage sites as possible, the South Wales Coalfield is a massive subject in its own right, so we are devoting as separate section to it.
Welsh coal was instrumental in the advancement of iron and steel production technology.
Our coal powered early steam travel, contributing directly to the development of the railway system and the industrialisation of the former colonies.
The result is landscape steeped in natural beauty and history, which we will attempt to cover exhaustively.
