  • Beautifully Presented 😍

    The guide to Liverpool was much better than I was expecting for the price - beautifully presented and packaged with care. As a Liverpool native and obsessive photographers, I knew most of the places shown in the book, but I can't wait to go around to the exact places detailed and take my own pictures with fresh eyes. Thanks a million for producing such a definitive guide to my home town!

  • A comprehensive guide, well laid out and designed 😍

    All the information that you needed and more! The delivery was slow, however, due to Royal Mail and not the vendors. The book will be in action next week as we visit Liverpool.

    Martin H, Eastbourne, Eng

  • Remarkable! A little gem of a book 😍

    I love everything about this book. It is well thought out, well written and beautifully illustrated with wonderful photographs. The design and layout is lovely and clear, the information is perfect, the quick reference guide easy to follow. It has immediately become my go to reference book for North Wales and I will be purchasing the Guide to Scotland next!

  • Marvellous! 😍

    Excellent detailed instructions to help you find stunning locations for photography. Or even if you just wanted to see the locations for yourself. The only downside to this type of guide is that they are designed to be tucked away in the photographers camera bag which means that the authors own photographs are printed quite small. Personally I think that they would be more suited to a large format coffee table book, that you could share with guests. Excellent work!

  • Really useful book 😍

    I bought this book (Scotland Guide) after being impressed with the Wales book. I've just got back from a five day trip in North Wales which I planned using the book. I was impressed with the depth of useful information and the what3words locations are invaluable. I definelty wouldn't have found some if the remote places in the guide without it.

    Kevin W, Middlesborough, Eng

  • Terrific! 😍

    The photos are superb. Very well written and exceptionally researched. Handy little book that will stay in my camera bag. Well done Ste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these guides for beginners or professionals?

Our guides are designed for all skill levels, from hobbyists with a smartphone to seasoned photographers with full-frame gear.

What kind of information is included in each guide?

Every location includes GPS coordinates, What3Words links, best times to shoot, parking info, walk distances, seasonal notes, and accessibility tips, so you can plan your shoot in minutes, not hours.

Do I need to be super fit or go on long hikes?

Not at all. We specialize in roadside and short-walk locations, ideal for those who want stunning results without a 4-hour trek. Most spots are accessible within 30 minutes or less.

How accurate and up-to-date is the information?

Every guide is field-tested by real photographers and reviewed regularly. We also include notes on seasonality and weather conditions, plus digital updates if locations change.
