FABULOUS PHOTO DAYS - NEWSTEAD ABBEY
Lord Byron's ancestral home, Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire is the setting for one of our popular DAYS OUT courses and is a 'must' for anyone interested in historic houses. We have been granted permission to take our tripods in- which is an almost UNIQUE opportunity for a property of this nature and we have exclusive access for the day.
This literary legend's home is a former 12th century Augustinian priory which became the seat of the Byron family in 1540. The house retains its mediaeval character with cloisters and abbey west front, whilst its interiors have a mixture of ancient and victorian sympathies.
The itinerary includes-
- A photographic walking tour of the interiors with staff on hand to answer questions about the house.
- Hands-on tuition, with advice on tackling long exposures, contrast and lighting for interiors.
- Access to areas not normally visited where we may create previously 'unseen' images.
- Exclusive access- the house is closed to the public on our days.
The gardens are stunning, with a large lake, ponds, walled gardens and exquisite Japanese gardens which were designed around 1900 and are recognised as one of the finest in Britain. You will be able to have access to the grounds from 9am, and again after our itinerary finishes so that you can explore and photograph the gardens at leisure. Owing to the unique nature of this course, we find that this is one of our most popular itineraries, so book early!
