Wales is known for its breathtaking scenery, passionate culture, and centuries of history; however, one aspect that often gets overlooked is the country’s vibrant movie industry. With a great selection of both modern and classic films- Wales has produced some truly underrated gems that all movie enthusiasts should watch. People often ask us questions, including “are there any films set in Wales and about Wales?” and “what Netflix series was filmed in Wales?”

In this article, we’ll discuss some of the best-underrated films made in Wales. However, some of the movies filmed in Wales or any other country may not be available in some countries due to regional restrictions.

Riding all the Way from London to Madrid  for Hugo and Helen

by Lily Ford | Evening Standard | July 21, 2022

An Army officer has raised thousands of pounds for charity by cycling 2,100 kilometres from London to Madrid in memory of his “inspiring” brother and his aunt, actress Helen McCrory. Tom Yaxley, 32, is the brother of Hugo Yaxley and nephew of Damian, as well as McCrory, who died from cancer in April 2021 aged 52.

Mr. Yaxley has embarked on the cycle across Europe for Ride4Hugo, a series of fundraising events organised by friends and family which have earned more than £115,000 for four charities. Through tough gruelling climbs, injury, pain, heat, traffic and SHEEP! Nothing stopped him.

Polzeath Beach

by Gingersnap | damian-lewis.com | August 24, 2021

Damian spent some quality time with his family on Monday, August 23, 2021 for a mass family pilgrimage to Cone Zone in Polzeath, Cornwall for what would have been his late nephew Hugo’s 21st birthday. Looks like he enjoyed an ice cream on a hot summer day at Polzeath Beach before joining in on a game of rugby. Although it is a sad day, it gave the family a chance to reflect on the quality times together and the incredible life Hugo had.
