I have been doing a fair bit of work in the White Peak it would seem recently and Peaseland Rocks was one of my latest locations. Peaseland Rocks is high above Wolfscote Dale where it meets Biggin Dale and the River Dove flows through it. Peaseland Rocks also looks directly up to Wolfscote Hill, which … Read more

Pilsbury Castle was a Norman Castle in the Peak District near the hamlet of Pilsbury, a few miles down the road from Longor and Hartington. It is situated next to the River Dove looking up to Chrome and Parkhouse Hill and Axe Edge with much of the White Peak Behind. It is also right on … Read more
Wolfscote Hill is a lovely little hill in the White Peak District near the village of Hartington. It is definitely one of the less frequented hills in the Peak District and have yet to meet a single soul on there. It stands only at 388m, but at the top there is a lovely minature version … Read more

It can get frustrating and depressing sometimes, but you have to percivere. Cue Saturday morning I decided to go out for sunrise. I woke up, went to my … Read more
Yes I know…blog after blog today but just catching up on the backlog. Here’s a few more recent images I wanted to share. The first one is from Stanton Moor. I had been up previously (and will go up a lot more as this is now my local stomping ground after moving to Matlock) and … Read more
Every now and again it’s nice to do a little photography that’s different from your normal style. It just keeps things a little fresh and allows you to break away from what you’re used to doing. For me, I really enjoy wire wool burning but at the same time I recognise that a lot of … Read more
After what seemed like a painful few months over summer with photography opportunities few and far and between with a lot of either clear skies or just cloud it is nice to finally be getting to Autumn with a change in weather, colours and hopefully being able to be a bit more productive.
