4K Snowdonia National Park Stock Video Footage

I’ve spent the last decade hauling heavy cinema cameras, drones, and camping gear up the steepest peaks in Wales. It’s usually wet, often miserable, and always hard work. But that’s the point. You can’t generate this stuff with AI, and you can’t get it by jumping out of a car for five minutes.

From the knife-edge ridge of Crib Goch to freezing nights on the Glyderau, this archive is the result of years of patience and endurance. Below, I’ve broken down the collections by theme so you can find exactly what you need—whether that’s the rare majesty of a cloud inversion or the brutal reality of winter survival.

Real Cameras. Real Lenses. Real Grit.

I don't outsource this. I hike the gear up there myself. I sit in the rain, I wait for the light, and I capture the shots that others won't risk their kit for.

Broadcast Standard 4K

Every clip is shot on high-end cinema cameras and drones. Whether it’s a timelapse of the Milky Way over Tryfan or a drone reveal of Crib Goch, the quality is pristine 4K UHD.

Simple Licensing

You buy the pack, you use the footage. No complex rights management, no extra fees for 4K, and no limits on circulation. One price, job done.


The Cloud Inversion Collection: A 2-Year Mission

This wasn't luck. I watched the charts for two years waiting for high pressure to trap the clouds in the Ogwen Valley. When it finally happened, I hauled my gear up Y Foel Goch and didn't sleep for 24 hours. The result is the best cloud inversion footage of Snowdonia I've ever seen.

We're talking about the peaks of the Glyderau and Carneddau sticking out like islands in a sea of cloud. I've broken this down into four specific packs so you can grab exactly what you need.

Winter & Survival: The Icy Grip of the Glyderau

Snowdonia in winter is brutal. It’s dangerous, freezing, and looks absolutely incredible on camera. I’ve spent days camping on frozen ground to get these shots. Pack #185 is my personal favourite—it documents a multi-day trip where lakes froze over and survival was the main priority.

The Icons: Tryfan, Snowdon & The Horseshoe

If you need the big shots—the knife-edge ridge of Crib Goch, the jagged prehistoric spine of Tryfan, or the vast horseshoe that surrounds Llyn Llydaw—this is it. These packs give you the establishing shots and the climbing B-roll you need for high-end production.

The Cost Efficiency Case Study

To produce a library like this yourself would realistically cost tens of thousands of pounds in crew fees, travel, accommodation, and equipment—not to mention the weeks spent waiting for the weather to clear. By grabbing these pre-existing archives, you eliminate the risk and the overhead. You get instant access to footage that has already survived the Welsh weather.

The Maths Don't Lie

Let’s have a frank conversation about budget. If you go to the big stock footage sites, you know the drill: you pay a premium for a single 15-second clip. If you need 4K? That’s extra. Commercial license? Extra again.

The Big Sites

Typical cost for a single 4K Commercial Clip

£150 - £350+

PER CLIP. LIMITED USE.

Chris Homer

Average cost per clip in my Packs

£5 - £15

LIFETIME LICENSE. NO 4K FEES.

When you buy a pack from me, you get the establishing shots, the B-roll, the details, and the alternate angles for a fraction of the cost of licensing a single "hero shot" elsewhere. It’s simple economics.
