Portrait Sessions in Lancashire
Lancashire's varied landscape — from moorland to medieval manor houses and forestry AONB — provides an outstanding range of portrait photography settings. The Rivington Terraced Gardens on the slopes of Rivington Pike (built for Lord Leverhulme in the early twentieth century) combine formal stonework, woodland, and panoramic moorland views. Rufford Old Hall (National Trust, near Ormskirk) — one of Lancashire's finest medieval timber-framed houses — offers gardens and estate grounds in a serene south Lancashire setting.
Gawthorpe Hall (National Trust, Burnley) is a Jacobean tower-house with a formal knot garden and Pennine views that create atmospheric portrait compositions. Leighton Hall near Carnforth sits on the edge of the Lakeland fells — neo-Gothic architecture with extraordinary mountain-backed vistas. Beacon Fell in the Forest of Bowland AONB adds ancient fell-top and woodland settings. I cover Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Lancaster, Chorley, Clitheroe, Accrington, Morecambe, Blackpool, Ormskirk, and all of Lancashire.
