Afon Mawddach
Gwynedd, Wales, has a very flashy river, making it the perfect spot for anyone seeking a perfect landscape or river shot. Not only that but also if you want to do a spot of kayaking! Planet Camping is a great place to pick a boat perfect for this.
Afon Mawddach
In addition to having a strong historical background in gold mining, Afon Mawddach also creates a more traditional looking photograph, reminiscent of times before the industrial revolution.
Lake District
Whether you’re looking for mountains, valleys, villages, lakes, towns or coastline, the Lake District has it all. As part of England’s northwest corner, the Lake District offers entrancing terrain including Great Gable, Coniston East Shore and even the 20-metre cascade known as Aira Force.

Kilchurn Castle
This 15th-century castle in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, contains all the traditional beauty that can be expected from a landmark of this age. The perfect photograph is only possible if you take a boat ride to the northeast end of Lochawe. As a result, there are many photographic opportunities on this short trip, as the Loch itself is also very photogenic.

Jurassic Coast
The Jurassic Coast, another World Heritage Site, stretches over 96 miles from East Devon to Dorset and has been said to record over 185 million years of British history. The Jurassic Coast is not only a historic landmark, it is also strikingly beautiful and begging to be photographed. It is one that cannot be missed, it is a unique place that should be on everyone’s camera.

Yorkshire Dales
If you are looking for a really beautiful landscape up North, the Yorkshire Dales are the perfect place. Malham is an especially impressive photographic site due to the Cove, Gordale Scar, Janet Foss’s waterfall, and the tarn.
Yorkshire Dales
In addition to Buttertubs Pass and Swaledale, the Dales are noted for Buttertubs Valley and Swaledale- both equally beautiful but for very different reasons.
York
York is a beautiful location for many types of photography because it is a traditional county town. If you are interested in history, then York is the perfect location for any photographer.
The Shambles, Clifford’s Tower, and the Minister are all worth photographing. There is beauty everywhere that you turn in York, your camera would not have a break.

Bath’s bustling town centre, rolling hills and sandstone facades make for stunning photographs, even for amateur photographers!
