Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels workshop

Visit two of the finest photography locations on the Mendip Hills, with views over the Somerset Levels.

On the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, Draycott Sleights and neighbouring Batcombe Hollow are two of my favourite photography locations. They offer a variety of subject matter, from majestic beech trees to far-reaching views of the Somerset Levels and Glastonbury Tor.

You'll get the chance to practise your photography skills on both intimate woodland scenes and big vistas.

How fit will I need to be?

Once we get out of the car we will be entirely on foot for the workshop. We'll walk between two locations covering a mile and a half on gentle footpaths, taking roughly 40 minutes in total, during the day. You should be fit enough to be able to carry your camera equipment plus food and drink with you.

What happens if the weather is wet?

If the weather is due to be significantly wet I will reschedule the workshop for the next convenient date that the majority of the group can make. It will go ahead in all other circumstances so we may be out during light showers. Be sure to dress appropriately, with a waterproof jacket and warm layers.

What time will the workshop start and finish at?

We will meet at nearby Stockhill Woods' car park at 1:30pm then drive to Draycott Sleights. The workshop will finish at 7:30 when we arrive back at our cars.
