Hillier Gardens - Hampshire

Hillier Gardens:

After my survey back in March, I came back to set up our mast in 5 positions in the gardens. Mast set up on May 5th and 6th. First day the weather was fair with some sun while the second day it was dull. The time slot was between 6pm till 8pm. The weather was the down side and with a bit more time I would have had some good photographs. The staff was very helpful. In whole I took some interesting photographs.

The Abbot Street Copse in Pamphill is a wonderful place to visit in late April when the blue bells are out.

Castleton - Hope Valley - Derbyshire

Peak Cavern (The Devil’s Arse!) is the source of the village river, Peakshole Water and as such it is the only Cavern that has to be closed during the winter due to flooding. In the mouth of the cave, the largest in Britain, rope makers use to live and work. Their cottages have been demolished but 'rope walks' are still to be found.
