Made by Betty and Cyril Ramsden, this reel is made up of two films, one of which captures a holiday Wales, and the other a day out fishing. Based in Leeds, the couple were semi-professional filmmakers filming both for pleasure and taking on commissions from companies such as the Yorkshire Evening Post. Title-Peaceful Pastimes Title-In a lovely valley south of Dolgelly lies the lake of Tal-y-Llyn. It is associated with the Welsh version the legend of King Arthur. The film opens with shots of the lakes and mountains in the valley. Further on there is a man at an easel, painting a picture of the view. A nearby small cottage is set by a lake, and children play at the water's edge. The film closes with more views of the countryside and animals such as sheep grazing in the area. Title-Going Fishing Title-One of the masters at David's school, himself a keen fisherman, not only interested the boys in this art, but also taught them how to make some of their equipment. A young boy is painstakingly making artificial bait with a hook, feathers and thread. In the next shot, an older man is teaching the young boy and another boy how to fly fish. They practice casting the line into a river many times. The film closes with him catching a fish and holding it up for the camera.
