PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES AT LONGSHAW ESTATE

Photography Courses at Longshaw Estate

Digital Photography at Longshaw and Padley Gorge

A new venue for our photography courses, National Trust Longshaw Estate is in the Peak District, not far from Sheffield, Buxton and Bakewell and only 35 miles from Manchester. 

Padley GorgeThere are any number of subjects for photography, including moorland with the remains of millstone quarries where mill wheels remain abandoned, woodland and dramatic panoramas,  Padley Gorge with its ancient oaks, tumbling streams and fantastic wildlife, from rare birds to hairy wood ants.

Padley Gorge is one of the finest remaining examples of the oak/birch woodland once characteristic of the edges and valley sides of the Dark Peak.

Criss-crossed by old trackways and packhorse trails, the Longshaw Estate is a mix of wet pasture and meadow, heather moorland and semi-natural ancient woodland.

For many of our workshops, we will be able to find numerous subjects to photograph, just a few minutes'  walk from our base at the Learning Centre.
