It certainly doesn't get more compelling than a drone shot of a lone tent pitched on a snowy rocky outcrop in Snowdonia with the yellow glow of a winter sunrise on the horizon. But it might come as a surprise to learn that actually, wild camping is illegal in Wales.
Not that that stops the hardy band of wild campers who pitch up in some of the most picturesque parts of Wales and wake up to breath-taking views of their surroundings. Whether it's the snow-topped peaks of Snowdonia or the rugged drama of the Pembrokeshire coastline, wild camping is perhaps the closest we can get to wilderness. Or as enthusiast James Edwards puts it: "It's part of our heritage."
James, from Aberystwyth, is one of those who regularly camps out in Wales and his awesome photography and footage is hard to ignore. Indeed, the professional photographer and content creator makes a living out of it. His shots of "wild camps in the motherland" are hard to beat.
