I had been hoping to explore some different moorland this August but with a trip to Scotland coming up at the end of the month (more on that soon) I only managed to fit in a quick trip to Ilkley for a stroll on the moor. Still, I’d not been for quite a while, so […]
I’ve already had a look at the Yorkshire Dales for National Parks Week so as the week draws to a close it’s time to visit Yorkshire’s other major national park, the North York Moors. The park was established in 1952, making it a couple of years older than the Yorkshire Dales, and covers some 1434 […]
Today is the start of National Parks Week, an annual celebration of Britain’s most beautiful landscapes. So, to kick off the celebrations, here’s a look at my nearest national park, the wonderful Yorkshire Dales. A mention of the Dales immediately brings to mind dry stone walls and field barns in lush green meadows – hence […]
One of my favourite viewpoints in the Yorkshire Dales is just above Gordale Scar in Malhamdale which I’m lucky enough to visit every time we run a Natural Light Photography Workshop at Malham. It’s a steep climb up from the valley floor below, but the view down into Gordale Scar (featured image) is just spectacular. […]
I have photographed in Northumberland a number of times over the past few years both on the coast and in the national park, staying with my sister at Amble by the Sea (a great spot for exploring the county) but as she’s due to move back to Yorkshire soon I quickly planned in another two […]
Here’s the latest in the Last Week’s Shoot series that I would have posted last week if I’d not been caught up in the Great Copyright Infringement Debacle instead! I picked a day with a rather chilly, but sunny weather forecast – though with the lowest windspeed of the week which made walking around Ribblehead […]
I’m now just about up to date on my image processing, so here’s another “Last Week’s Shoot” post on a visit to Hull Pot below the slopes of Pen-Y-Ghent in Ribblesdale (actually the week before last, but near enough!). From Horton-in-Ribblesdale station I walked down into the village and picked up the Pennine Way, following […]
After my second visit to the Simonside Hills on my summer trip to Northumberland I wanted to get back and explore more of the National Park, this time heading further north to the village of Wooler, a good base for exploring the area around The Cheviot. I set out along the lane from Wooler through […]
I really enjoyed the walk over the Simonside Hills from Rothbury earlier in the summer, and had noted at the time that the heather would look great in August, so on my return to Northumberland for a week’s holiday at the end of August I made a point of doing the walk again. This time […]
I’m progressing steadily with the processing backlog and am looking at images from a couple of trips to Ribblehead in the rugged three peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales at the moment. It’s a great place to explore by train, with Ribblehead station being just a short walk from the impressive Victorian viaduct striding across […]
