The Peak District is one of the UK’s most diverse and rewarding landscape photography locations. Towering gritstone edges, winding valleys, reflective reservoirs, and characterful villages all offer endless creative opportunities—especially in the rich colours and softer light of autumn.

We’ll be based at Bike & Boot Peak District, a modern, photographer-friendly hotel perfectly suited to active groups. Its relaxed atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and excellent location make it an ideal base for early starts, late finishes, and everything in between.

Over three days, we’ll explore a mix of iconic and lesser-known locations, which will include:

• Mam Tor

• Ladybower Reservoir for reflections and leading lines

• Hope Valley for layered landscapes

• Hidden viewpoints and quieter spots

This workshop is limited to just 6 participants, ensuring plenty of one-to-one support. You’ll receive as much or as little guidance as you need—whether that’s mastering camera settings, refining composition, or learning how to respond to changing light and conditions.

We’ll adapt each day based on weather and opportunities, giving you the best possible chance to capture strong, portfolio-worthy images. This is my third trip to the Peak District and this workshop is long overdue! It's a brilliant place, especially in autumn.
