Landscape photographer, geologist, science teacher and a keen naturalist. I have most of my own teeth (and a dry British sense of humour). I am a qualified teacher, with 20 years of experience. I am widely travelled within and beyond the UK. I have two vehicles, Ford Tourneo Connect (6 seats plus driver) and Nissan Qashqai (driver plus 3 adults and 1 child, but one of the adult spaces is behind me driving, so not 3 tall adults!). Transport between the locations is provided at no charge. As well as my Yorkshire and surrounds tours, I can also offer longer distance tours covering much of England and Wales (these work out a little more expensive than individual day tours to cover the costs of me being away from home). I am very happy to help with the detailed planning of these tours. I am a keen photographer and have my work for sale in a number of local outlets. I have been included in the "Landscape Photographer of the year" collection, and my work is frequently featured in the Guardian newspaper. I am a member of the National Trust, English Heritage, and Historic Houses assocation. I was born and brought up in the South-West, but I have lived and worked in many areas of the North of England including Greater Manchester, East, West and South Yorkshire. I also recently lived for a time in Durham castle. As an undergraduate I lived and studied in London. My personal interests include archaeology and ancient history, landscape photography, hill walking (Mountain leadership/summer trained). I enjoy meeting people from any parts of the world and sharing knowledge and experience. I can give tours of Yorkshire and surrounding areas including wildlife and photographic, history and architecture, archaeology, geology and scenery. Visits to local attractions such as Spurn Point, York, Beverley and Lincoln minsters, "The DEEP", Castle Howard, all with the personal experience and energy of a keen local photographer. Half day and day tours, pick up from the Ferry terminal and all other transport links in Yorkshire area. Personalized custom made tours by arrangement. See video clip for a few of my images of the area. Suggested sample locations for a 7-day tour: Start Oxford, day 1 Avebury, Stonehenge, Stourhead overnight near Bath, day 2 Cotswolds, overnight Warwick, day 3 Derbyshire Dales, overnight Castleton area, day 4 Haworth and the dales, overnight Hawes area, day 5 the lake district (Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth) overnight Keswick area, day 6 Hadrian's Wall, overnight Alnwick, day 7 Northumberland castles and Holy Island, end Berwick upon Tweed (this means you can take a train out of London at the beginning at into Edinburgh at the end, for example). Accommodation for the party is not included, but I can help you find suitable places for a variety of Budgets, including castles and historic houses. Award winning Landscape photographer, 2 bachelors degrees 2 masters degrees in addition to my teaching qualifications (in Geology, Psychology, Anthropology and teaching research). I also have a level 3 qualification in Photography and am happy to tutor landscape photography as we go. I have 30+ years experience in teaching and now 10 years experience as a tour guide in an increasingly wide area of England, Wales and Scotland.

Overview of your York tour

This tour is designed to provide a vehicle for landscape or other photographic tuition. My specialism include reflections, industrial landscapes and bracketed exposure HDR. An itinerary can be constructed to suit individual preferences, and weather/lighting conditions. Suitable for any experience level and camera type although for the best result a camera able to shoot RAW would be ideal. Post-Processing workshop might also be available or included in the hours.

Your York tour itinerary

The itinerary here is entirely customisable. This tour is a little less expensive than most of my day trips, as the photography means we must spend a bit less time travelling, but we can base it on any of my usual day trips from York. I have previously done photographic tours including moving water (Yorkshire dales) architecture (Helmsley) and industrial/night photography (Hull)
