North Wales by Drone in 4K

Cedric Qui...

North Wales is an semi-official region of the Kingdom of Wales, which in turn is part of the United Kingdom.  The North Wales region includes Snowdonia National Park, the Island of Angelsey, and the magnificent walled town of Conwy.  In this drone video by contributor and pilot Cedric Quillet, you'll get a mini aerial tour of this storied region.  Among the highlights are some great shots from within the Snowdonia National Park as well as some great views of Aber Waterfalls, located just outside of the park.

DRONIE OUT OF A RUINED CHURCH

Nathan Jer...

Top AirVuz contributor and pilot Nathan Jermy took a bit of a gamble with his drone to create this epic dronie flying out of a church in Wales, the region which covers a western portion of the island of Great Britain.  When you watch the video, you will see why this was a tough shot.  What you can't see made it even tougher - 25 mph winds, which challenge the ability of any drone to maintain the desired course with so little room for error.  You say, “do it for the ‘gram,” we say “do it for the dronie.”

Contributor and drone pilot Joshua Paul Gardner created this beautiful promotional video for a getaway in the middle of Wales.  Its accommodations are an updated form of a "yurt" which is a collapsible tent derived from the nomadic tribes of Central Asia.  Much of the video is aerial footage of some of the surrounding attractions in Powsys (one of the counties of Mid-Wales) such as Lake Vyrnwy and the famous waterfall of Pistyll Rhaeadr, both of which are within a 45 minute drive from  the camp near Welshpool.

When in Wales, you take advantage of a deserted, rugged coastline and rip. At least that's what UrbanFPV does in this edit of footage captured with his 5 inch Aramattan Chameleon as well as his DJI Mavic aerial cinematography drone. The flight moves from shredding the beach and zipping through ancient ruins, to scenic shots of an old lighthouse, gorgeous sunsets, and sunlight poking holes through the clouds in the countryside's rocky hills.  It will make you appreciate the beauty of this land from a brand new perspective!

Elan Valley // Little Escape // Episode 13 // Wales // Drone 4K

Joshua Pau...

Located in Powys, Wales the Elan Valley is a river valley that covers around 180 square km (around 70 square mi.) of lake and countryside in the region sometimes referred to as Mid Wales.  Over 80% of the Elan Valley has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, meaning it is protected under UK preservation laws.  Incredibly peaceful, with still waters and lush, green forestry surrounding it, you can see why pilot Joshua Paul Gardner wanted to fly his drone above the valley in this fabulous aerial video.

Explore the industrial history of Wales in this fantastic first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot fpvshenanigans.  He was able to fly over the Dinorwic Quarry in Gwynedd, which at one point was the world's second-largest slate quarry.  Prior to its closure in 1969, it covered over a square mile (about three square km) and produced over 100k tons of the material annually.  At its peak, the mining operations here employed about 3,000 men.  It's now home to the National Slate Museum.

Snowdon from the Air Cinematic Drone Video

Dr0neWerks...

AirVuz contributor Dr0ne Werks used a DJI Mini 2 to create this excellent drone video from the Snowdonia region of Wales in the United Kingdom.  Named for Mt. Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, most of Snowdonia is encompassed in Snowdonia National Park, the third-oldest in the UK, which covers portions of Counties Gwynedd and Conwy.   The mountains here are some of the oldest in the world, and the glaciation which occurred during the most recent Ice Age created the distinctive-looking landscape you'll see in the video.

Wales with a FPV drone | Cruising at zero altitude - Cinematic FPV

GosHawkFPV...

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot GosHawkFPV takes us on a epic cruise along the coast of Wales in this fantastic video.  The title is accurate - he is cruising at an altitude so low you can just about smell the saltwater.  You'll also ride along just inches above the rocky coastline.  It makes for some mesmerizing visuals, and demonstrates some very impressive FPV piloting skills.  No wonder this video was chosen by the AirVuz staff as a pick for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in April of 2021.

Explore the island of Anglesey in the UK region of Wales in this video by Colsam458, which was created using both drone and ground camera footage.  The first stop is the Menai Suspension Bridge, which connects the island with the Welsh mainland, followed by the 13th century Beaumaris Castle, a bit to the northeast.  Around the 2:00 mark, you'll see Penmon Point, at the eastern tip of the island, and the offshore Trwyn Du Lighthouse.  Other highlights include St. Cwyfan's Church, on the tidal island of Cribinau, and South Stack Lighthouse.

The town of Tenby lies in Pembrokeshire, a county of southeastern Wales in the United Kingdom.  Tenby played an important role in Welsh history during the centuries-long struggles between Wales and England, although its significance declined after the English Civil War in the 17th century. Contributor Aerial.Vantage.UK used a DJI Phantom 4 drone to create a beautiful aerial video about this seaside town on Carmarthen Bay.  It includes footage of Tenby Castle, a 13th century fortification which sits on a small promontory.
