Historically I only shot landscape images as context images in support of wildlife sightings. I am now shooting landscapes as a subject in itself. Mostly Landscapes in the Goyt Valley. If I stumble on a view I particularly like, I shoot it and it may be included here.

Photography routes scheduled below are mainly along linear stretches, as indicated on the related maps. Plus features or vantage points. There is one supporting map to cover the whole Goyt Valley area. That is available as an A4 page in portrait format. This information has helped some prospective visitors decide where to organise walking / running events. It may help others decide where to shoot their own preferred landscapes. If you are planning such an event I recommend downloading the map-bundle and use the enhanced schedule.

Rather than try to draw lines along irregular stretches of route, a capital letter in blue will identify the stretch of route on the map. Text in the schedule below will identify the stretch of route, feature or vantage point. Features and vantage points are identified by the reference letter in a green coloured box. An enhanced schedule is now provided with the map in the bundle.

The interactive links will always link to the first page in the MAIN section of the photography route concerned. At the moment I cannot think of a better way of organising this. Images posted will be as they are published, added to the end of the section concerned. Please remember these are strictly photography routes, not walking routes.

There are three headings under each location. Anything at all video will be under that heading. Any scene containing obvious snow or heavy frost will be listed under Winter regardless of the date. All else will be under MAIN.
 
 
 
You can either print the map/schedule bundle to enable you to plan or make a choice or you can use the interactive map referred to below. Any page visited in this Landscapes section, includes direct links back to this page.
 
The map be updated at any time. The most recent hardcopy map available as a bundle with the enhanced schedule can be downloaded here: MAP-BUNDLE-05092025 (PDF)
 
The map can be accessed here as an interactive map (which now includes car parks as pop up pages): Interactive Map
 
The number of images available under each heading is indicated below, to save wasting your time. All links land on the first page under the MAIN heading, where there may be some description of the route. The most recent group(s) to have one or more new images added (at the end) have a temporary background colour in yellow. Most recent update: October 10th. 2025
 
As of September 24th. 2025 a new 'Panoramas' section has been introduced, which has its own interactive map. This is an experimental feature which may or may not survive. Latest edition to that section: October 1st. 2025

* From Pym Chair the road name is Embridge Causeway up to the official lay-by (IMG). From that point down to the Dam, the road name is The Street. There is a parallel and very wide off-road rugged track the whole distance down to the Dam.
