Coast and Wildwood, Moor and Mountain 2026

Coast and Wildwood, Moor and Mountain 2026

NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE ORDER 

The principle mission of this calendar is to focus on the wild places that remain in the UK. Since our landscape is so heavily utilised and managed these places are not necessarily that common. Yet wild fringes can be found throughout the country and they are all important, even the hedgerows and small scraps of wild land that abut fields and meadows. The wider expanses of forest and coast are often major wildlife refuges, and while Britain lacks apex predators on land (humans apart) our coastal regions especially are internationally important for nesting and migrating birds.

In 2024 I broke my neck in an accident on Cul Mor, Assynt Scotland, and I wish to record once again how enormously grateful I am to my stalwart companions, and to the Assynt Mountain Rescue Team for co-ordinating my helicopter rescue from the hill that day. Since then nothing has helped more in my recovery than being able to walk regularly in our local woods.

I'd like to think that these pictures are also a reminder that encountering natural beauty is a solace for the soul, evidence for the therapeutic value of nature and the very human need to reconnect with it. However busy and stressful our lives are, walking through the woods, or by the coast, over the moors or up a mountain can help heal the wounds.
