Pembrokeshire, My County
Lush travelogue painting a relaxing picture of the county, from Prescelly Hills and St. David's Cathedral to Caldy Island
Overview
This lush and lustrous travelogue paints a relaxing picture of the Welsh countyβs landscapes and seascapes, people, plants, animals - and places from Prescelly Hills and St. David's Cathedral to Caldy Island. Made in the classic lyrical style of the post-war sponsored documentary, itβs a quality offering from Esso, who (not coincidentally) opened their Milford Haven refinery the year this film was produced.
