SKETCHBOOK: Autumn Moorland
In October, the moors turn orange. The purple heather of the Peak District in summer is beautiful but I think these cooler days and grey skies and autumnal colours are my favourite. Join my mailing list
Moorland monotype landscapes
Inspired by a love of the windswept moors of the Peak District, each of these unique landscape monotype prints represents a moment of quiet contemplation and reconnection with nature, an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. These one of a kind, hand-pulled prints make a perfect gift for those who love toContinue reading “Moorland monotype landscapes”
SKETCHBOOK: Over Owler Tor
Some of my sketches from Over Owler Tor – an imposing, fortress-like gritstone rock formation above the Surprise View near Hathersage in the Derbyshire Peak District.
WALK: Yarncliff Wood, Longshaw
Just a quick jaunt around Longshaw estate, exploring a few paths at the Yarncliff Wood end which are less familiar to me. Had to make a decision between turning left or right at one point, and of course I chose incorrectly. Due to some unplanned clambering and mild peril, I didn’t have the time orContinue reading “WALK: Yarncliff Wood, Longshaw”
SKETCHBOOK: Ladybower and Derwent Edge from Hagg Side
Saw a lot of colours in the landscape while I was out sketching at Ladybower! I’ve titled this Ladybower and Derwent Edge but I think that’s Whinstone Lee Tor and Lead Hill that I’ve sketched in the background. Feel free to correct me on that.
SKETCHBOOK: Burbage Plantation
Short circular walk from Upper Burbage Bridge, down the valley, following the brook to Burbage Plantation under Higger Tor, stopping to do a couple of sketches, then back along Green Drive.

SKETCHBOOK: Ashopton to White Tor
Three hour walk from Ashopton Viaduct to White Tor, taking in the spectacular autumnal views of Ladybower and the upper Derwent Valley, marvelling at the rays of sun breaking through the clouds behind Win Hill, and exploring some of the rugged gritstone tors. Encountered more grouse than I have ever seen before, a huge flockContinue reading “SKETCHBOOK: Ashopton to White Tor”
