A little reminder that I have produced a beautiful hardback book of my photographs and words, 152 pages of Peak District inspiration, presented seasonally. It makes a perfect present or a treat to curl up with on dark evenings. 🥰.

"Once upon a time, forests were repositories of magic for the human race." - John Burnside. No matter how many times I walk in this ancient woodland, it still takes my breath away. As you follow the quiet paths beneath the twisted trees, you fall deeper and deeper under its

If you’d like a brain-cleanse from the politics and nonsense in your timeline, rest awhile with a #peakdistrict barn. These field barns are as much a part of the landscape as the trees and hills, resting in the quiet slopes, sending tentacles of dry stone walls reaching off in

"Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,.And live alone in the bee-loud glade." - W B Yeats. It’s reassuring to know that, no matter how loud and fast the world out there becomes, along the twisting lanes of the #peakdistrict you can still find gaps in the

After the rush and flutter of spring, when every little life is busy growing and flowering and testing out new wings, summer in the #peakdistrict feels languid and calm. Poppies spill over from the fields into the verges, honeysuckle and wild roses are strung along the hedgerows

My reward for a 4.30am start yesterday. the chance to watch these stoat kits racing around, completely unbothered by my presence in the quiet morning. They were playing a version of grandmother's footsteps, sneaking up on one another and then whipping around at the very last

@peaklass1 If you're not following @peaklass1 you're truly missing out on photos that pull you in and transport you in place and time. If you're silent, you can hear nature's quiet call.

👋🏼 Just a little reminder that there are only 2 days left to buy my 2026 Peak District Calendar at the bargain price of £8.50! I know it still seems early, but if you might buy one later anyway, it makes sense to save a little. Plus, you can bask in the glow of being Very

The buttercups have all but faded now and the foxgloves are seeding, making way for the poppies and wild honeysuckle and rosebay willow herb. The bright, chaotic noise of the dawn chorus has softened too, just blackbirds and wrens and lazy swallows swirling in the warm air.

Can you imagine my happiness when I came to this gate?! Behold! This is not just any gate, this is a kissing gate that leads into a buttercup meadow. If M&S and Carlsberg joined forces to make a gate, I think it would probably look like this. #peakdistrict

Midsummer morning, and the air is filled with skylarks, the sun painting stripes on the long grasses, and the early warmth of the day chasing away the traces of mist over the hills. I have to admit that this is a day I always dread a teeny bit, it feels like the pinnacle of the

Of all the wonky gates in all the world, this one is definitely my favourite. OK, it's not the easiest to walk through, and it will try to chop off your legs if you're not paying attention, but it's reached via a quiet path lined with tall, waving foxgloves, like an honour guard

Ahh, the heady days of midsummer - swallows swooping above, foxgloves in the hedgerows, long sunny days. And so our thoughts naturally turn to the impending New Year and the need for a Calendar?! 🤭 . OK, I know it's early, but I just wanted to remind you that my 2026 Peak

This is my little home village of Hathersage resting in the slopes of green, the last of the day's sunshine pouring over the trees and houses. I heard cuckoos and church bells as I stood here to take this photograph, and to be truthful I could hardly bear to drag myself away.
