Quintin Lake : Walking and Photographing the Mountains of England and Wales

A welcome return for Quintin who last visited us in 2022 with some fabulous landscape photographs from his epic walk around the British coast.

'I’m inspired by the serenity of elemental wilderness landscapes travelled on foot. I undertake multi-day walks alone, carrying a tent, which helps me discover unexpected features of the landscape and allows the spirit of the place to get under my skin. Walking becomes integral to the creative process. My photographic expeditions have taken me to 70 countries with a special emphasis on singular environments such as jungles, deserts and the arctic.

In more recent years my main area of interest has been the British Landscape. A walk from the source of the Thames to London led to walks along the Ridgeway, a 20 day journey across the mountains of Wales and then to a walk from the source of the Severn to the sea. In 2015 I embarked on a 10,000km walk around the British coast in sections called The Perimeter.
