Lakes, Legends and Morning Light - Snowdonia Photography Workshop

  • 21st October, 2026

  • £299.00

  • Approximately - Loading...

Our Lakes, Legends and Morning Light - Snowdonia photography workshop will take place in October and will be led by Verity Milligan.

Snowdonia/Eryri (pronounced ‘Eh-ruh-ree’) is an ancient landscape that is steeped in rich folklore and history. There is a magic to this place, that is evident in the landscape, whether it’s the rugged mountains scarred by industry, the dramatic coastline, tranquil mountain lakes or ancient woodlands. 

Together with Mountains, Memory and Evening Light, these back-to-back workshops follow a quiet arc through Eryri—from the last light over sea and stone to first light on still waters.

Lakes, Legends and Morning Light - Snowdonia Photography Workshop

Snowdonia Photography Workshop - Lakes, Legends and Morning Light
For sunrise we will base ourselves at either Llyn Crafnant, or Llyn Dinas, depending on how good the autumn colour is in either location. This will be conveyed to you in advance of the workshop. Llyn Crafnant offers views of the Carneddau mountains, and if the conditions allow, there is the opportunity to photograph the mountain range reflecting in the still waters. If reflections aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other attractions around the lakeside, including some beautiful woodland that will be full of autumnal colour. 

Llyn Dinas derives its name from the nearby Dinas Emrys, a little hillock that is right at the centre of Welsh mythology. Legend has it that Merlin once walked this land, and the sword, ‘Excalibur’, still resides in the lake itself. Climbing the hill is optional, as there are plenty of views in and around the lake itself. Separating the Snowdon ridge from the Moelwynion mountains, there are plenty of compositions to be found, whether that lake is still and reflective or there’s more drama in the air.

Snowdonia Landscape Photography Workshop

After sunrise we will head to our second location, the Fairy Glen situated near Betws y Coed. This magical spot is even more impressive during the autumn months. Walking the narrow path down the ravine will require sturdy footwear and a decent level of fitness, but once in the gorge, there are plenty of photographic opportunities of incredible rock formations and water as it flows through the ravine. 

Finally, we’ll make the short journey to our final location, Llyn Mymbyr, two lakes that were once a single body of water near the village of Capel Curig. Situated in the valley, this place offers up glorious views back towards the Snowdon horseshoe, framed by glorious autumnal colour from the trees found on the shoreline. 

This workshop is limited to 6 places. It will run from 6:30am to 1:30pm. The workshop will require participants to have their own transport. Verity will have limited space in her vehicle for those who are travelling by public transport.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Easy - Most locations are reached by vehicle or involve only very short walks on level ground. Subjects and viewpoints are typically close to where we stop. No particular level of fitness is required, although participants should be comfortable standing and walking short distances outdoors.

Moderate - These tours involve regular walking, which may include town streets, coastal paths, countryside trails, or uneven natural ground. Distances are generally manageable, but may include occasional longer walks, gentle gradients, or uneven surfaces such as sand, cobbles, or rough tracks. A reasonable level of mobility and comfort walking for extended periods is recommended. Please advise us in advance if you have any concerns about fitness or mobility.

Strenuous - These tours involve more demanding walking conditions, which may include longer distances on foot, steeper ascents and descents, and extended time on uneven or rough terrain. Locations may be remote or off the beaten track, where access requires sustained effort and careful footing.
