Llangollen Landscape Photography

Llangollen Methodist Church, built in 1903 on the bank of the beautiful and majestic River Dee, depicted with its gothic spire nestled in colourful autumn foliage.

The power of the River Dee in autumn.

Harking back to a bygone era... This is the Chirk Aqueduct that spans the Ceiriog Valley and carries the beautiful Llangollen Canal into England, where it becomes the Shropshire Union Canal. The aqueduct stands 70ft high and was completed in 1801, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, by civil engineers Thomas Telford and William Jessop. The higher structure to the right is a railway viaduct, which was added some years later. I particularly love the hand railing and how worn it is by generations of hands touching it to steady themselves as they crossed.

This charming little 19th Century redbrick cottage on the Llangollen Canal has become a bit of a photographic icon - easy to see why when the setting is so picturesque!

Steam trains are the living, breathing machines that powered the Industrial Revolution. This beauty runs on the Llangollen Railway in North Wales.

My favourite walk in autumn for the beautiful, still reflections of the autumn leaves.

I've shot this fairytale Methodist Church from every conceivable angle and in every season, but Autumn really takes it to another level. On this occasion, I photographed it from Llangollen Railway Station with its beautiful Victorian detailing, which must surely be a contender for the most beautiful station in the country. It certainly has one of the best views!!!
