All the valleys of the Cheviots have their charms. The Coquet Valley is arguably the most beautiful, however. At this time of year the heather moorland of the valley is at its colourful best.

We’ll start the workshop in the village of Harbottle, photographing the atmospheric ruined castle there. After that we’ll take a walk into Harbottle Hills to stop at the Drake Stone, a huge erratic nestled in the heather-clad moors above the village. After returning to Harbottle we’ll drive further into the valley, stopping to photograph the sights along the way. The workshop will end at Upper Coquetdale in the evening, at the remains of Chew Green Roman fort.

Useful information


This workshop is suitable for photographers of all levels of experience and ability, from absolute beginners to those with more experience. The group size is limited to eight to allow Jason and David to devote ample time throughout the day to every participant.

Bring with you the camera equipment (camera, lenses and filters) you already own and would normally take out for the day. A tripod will be useful, but don’t worry if you don’t have one: it's not essential and we may be able to lend you one for the workshop.

Although this is a summer workshop good, warm weather cannot be guaranteed in the Cheviots, particularly later in the day. Wear layers to keep you warm, as bring waterproofs with you just in case. You will also need sturdy and comfortable waterproof walking boots. This workshop will involve walking up and down steep slopes to reach certain subjects. A good level of fitness and mobility is highly recommended.
