National Parks
The National Parks of Great Britain contain some of the most outstanding features of our countryside. The highest mountain, deepest lake, sweeping hillsides and rugged coastlines... they are quite simply the UK's "breathing spaces."
Most of the UK population live within 2 hours drive of at least one National Park and they are a mecca for walkers, mountain bikers and of course... landscape photographers!
The images in this section of the Gallery concentrate mainly upon those National Parks in the north of England and Wales... namely:

THE GREATEST SLIP OF ALL
The so-called 'Alport Castles' is one of the most dramatic features within the Peak District National Park.
It is the site of the UK's largest landslip and a popular location for landscape photography - albeit an isolated one!
Its unusual name originates from the large mounds that the landslip has created, the tallest of which 'The Tower' resembles a full scale motte and bailey castle from a distance.
I have tried hard here to come up with an alternative view of this location, using the large boulders that have crumbled from a nearby cliff face as foreground interest.
I waited nearly 2 hours for the correct lighting conditions to form. It was imperative that only the large square boulder was brightly illuminated, whilst the potentially distracting foreground debris was hidden within the shadowy area.
