Photography Workshop Event Details: Padley Gorge And Bolehill Quarry
Description: Spring and Autumn Workshops
Padley Gorge is a deep but narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire, between the village of Grindleford and the A6187 road. The gorge is wooded with a stream, the Burbage Brook, at the bottom. Padley provides numerous opportunities to refine your composition in many aspects. You can opt for close-up sketches of woodland growth, rocks and water or tackle a wider vista showing the river and work on long exposures, water abstracts and much more.
Bolehill Quarry - Created hundreds of millions of years ago by the power of natural forces, the last few centuries have seen the rugged landscape surrounding Padley Gorge sculpted by man who long ago quarried these gritstone Edges for stone and tunnelled deep beneath the moors to drive a railway line through the hills. Now an area of outstanding natural beauty, this walk takes in the breathtaking heights of Millstone Edge and majestic silver birch woodlands. It's a great location for any level of photographer to hone their skills and techniques.
