Portrait Photography
Huntingdonshire holds a surprisingly rich set of portrait locations. Grafham Water — one of England's largest reservoirs and an RSPB reserve — offers open water vistas, meadow-edge walks, and evening golden light reflected in still water near St Neots. Houghton Mill (National Trust) on the River Great Ouse gives beautiful riverside portraits beside a working watermill, with willows draping the water's edge in summer. Hinchingbrooke Country Park, on the historic grounds of Hinchingbrooke House on the edge of Huntingdon, provides accessible parkland with lake reflections and open fields.
Paxton Pits Local Nature Reserve (Little Paxton) has wetland and meadow habitats, while Godmanchester's Chinese Bridge and town meadows — directly linked to Huntingdon across the Great Ouse — give graceful waterside portraits. I cover all of Huntingdonshire: Huntingdon, St Neots, St Ives, Ramsey, Sawtry, Godmanchester, Kimbolton, and Brampton.
