Terence Stamp at Blaen-y-Glyn


The above photograph shows Terence Stamp and Carol White cavorting in the waterfall at Blaen-y-Glyn in the Brecon Beacons. They were shooting a scene for Poor Cow (1967), a film directed by Ken Loach, which was based upon the novel of the same name by Nell Dunn. The film crew of 40 people spent a couple of days in mid-Wales where they shot sequences of Stamp and White picnicking, walking, climbing and snogging in the Blaen-y-Glyn waterfall. They were trying to capture the essence of a typical holiday in Wales, apparently. Don't know about you but frolicking in waterfalls was an integral part of my Welsh upbringing...
