The Welsh flag flying on a hilltop above the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, with a light snowfall in the foreground. The soft sunlight on a late winter's afternoon really brings out the colours and textures of the bracken and grass on the hillsides. The oldest recorded use of the dragon (in Welsh: Y Ddraig Goch "the red dragon") to symbolise Wales dates to around AD 829.

A view of the village of Wyndham beneath snowy hills in the upper Ogmore Valley in South Wales. The village owes its existance to coal, as do the majority in the valleys of the South Wales coal belt. From the mid 19th century up until the 1980s the South Welsh valleys were one of the most important industrial areas of the UK and coal mining the main employer. The Wyndham colliery shut in 1983, the last to do so in the Ogmore Valley. Images with closer crops of the village and no sky are available, please get in touch if interested in seeing more!

A gorgeous sunny morning in the hills of South Wales as the clouds clear away after an overnight snowfall. The snow on the fields is just starting to melt in the morning sun while it remains on the higher hills and fells. Trees in winter in Britain have the most amazing shapes and textures, this one is a oak that has been shaped by the strong winds that often blow across the hills.
