TOMB RAIDER II - SNOWDONIA
This interesting part of North Wales has been chosen on several occasions by film makers for location shooting, including by the producers of Inn of the Sixth Happiness starring Ingrid Bergman in the 1950's and more recently by the makers of Tomb Raider II starring Angelina Joli.
On both occasions rural China was the country being portrayed. On Tomb Raider II, concrete was required at a number of locations with local contractors Colin Jones (Rock Engineering) Ltd, being the main contractors using their rock working skills to access the areas via safety harness and ropes.
