Our Snowdonia photography tour 'Magical Ancient Landscapes' will take place in October 2025 with Verity Milligan and Brad Carr.

Snowdonia (Eryri) is one of the UK’s finest landscapes that is steeped in history and mythology. This part of Wales has an astonishingly diverse landscape given its small geographical space. In addition to the 9 mountain ranges, including the famous Snowdon, there are 23 miles of beautiful coastline, 434 miles of rivers, and over 100 lakes. The landscape carries many scars left by industrial endeavours, including slate quarries, such as the spectacular Dinorwig, which dominates the vista above the tranquil waters of Llyn Padarn. Did we mention the many stories and legends that are tied to the area? According to them, dragons, giants and wizards once roamed these ancient lands. Rumour has it that one of these three Snowdonian lakes - Llyn Dinas, Llyn Llydaw or Llyn Ogwen - contains King Arthur’s Excalibur.

Magical Ancient Landscapes - Snowdonia (Eryri) Photography Tour

During this tour, we will aim to show you the best that Snowdonia has to offer. We’ll explore the area around Llanberis, including accessible parts of Dinorwig quarry, which still has many left-over remnants of its industrial past and can be a fertile ground for creativity. For a classic and spectacular view of the Snowdon horseshoe, we’ll visit the lakeside of Llynnau Mymbyr as well as Llyn (lake) Ogwen and Llyn Idwal for dramatic views of the menacing Mount Tryfan, Pen yr Ole Wen and the infamous Devil’s Kitchen.

Away from the mountains we’ll explore the amazing beaches of Anglesey, especially Newborough, which boasts a pine woodland just off the beach itself as well as considerable dunes that can be used for compositions looking back towards the mainland. There’s also the tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn and Tŵr Mawr lighthouse which is more than worth the walk along the beach, especially during the golden hour(s). If shooting sunset, we will have to be careful that the rising tide doesn’t leave us marooned on the island for the night, although there are many worse places to be trapped! Along the coast is Penmon Point with the imposing eerie Trwyn Du lighthouse, a great location for sunrise. To complete the trio of lighthouses, we’ll visit South Stack on the west coast of Anglesey, looking across the Irish Sea.

In addition to the mountains and coastlines, Snowdonia has plenty of forests and waterfalls, including the beautiful Fairy Glen just outside Betws-y-Coed, and we’ll aim to spend some time photographing these locations over the course of the tour. By the end of the tour we hope you’ll have fallen in love with this ancient, magical landscape and have plenty of wonderful imagery, and memories, to take home with you.

Your tour leaders are well acquainted with the landscape and have a deep, personal love for location. Verity has a personal connection with the area, with her Taid (Welsh for Grandfather) working most of his life as a slate quarryman in Dinorwig and her mother born in Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon. This landscape has been a part of her life from early childhood with each summer holiday spent exploring this amazing part of the world.

Brad finally found sanctuary in the hills and valleys of Wales following a decade of turbulence throughout his formative years. The trees in Wales’ beautiful and enchanting ancient woodland have played the roles of father, best friend and therapist for Brad over the past few years, and he specialises in translating his feelings towards the woodland into photographs, weaving them with words to tell personal stories of healing and transformation. During the tour, Brad will guide you to some of the magical and mystical woodlands and lakes that have played a significant role in his journey towards a life of creativity and deep healing. As we walk beneath the ancient trees, and beside the silent waters of Snowdonia (Eryri), expect plenty of open and honest conversation about life, light, and landscape that will aid you in your quest to tell your own stories through the art of photography.

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.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. 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. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
