This morning decided on a scouting trip around the Firle estate at the foot of the South Downs in East Sussex. Parking up at Berwick covered a lot of ground using a mountain bike reaching as far as Firle Bostal in the west and Lullington Church in the east via Alfriston.
Have set myself a challenge to revisit local locations and photograph them under better lighting conditions. For this trip it was sunrise landscape photography from the top of Mount Caburn on the Lewes Downs in East Sussex.
Managed to drag myself out of bed at 4am for a dawn shoot over the Cuckmere valley in east Sussex from the vantage point of High and Over on the South Downs.
August has been a hot and lazy month. Too hot to get out hiking and landscape photography. Towards the end of August it did cool down with autumn coming. So broke the spell and rose early for a sunrise shoot at Stone Hill Ashdown Forest on the High Weald in East Sussex.
The High Weald in the south east of England is one of the countries designated AONB. The High Weald spans the three counties of Kent, East Sussex and west Sussex. The following post is a small compilation of some of the best places to visit on the High Weald for landscape photography and hiking.

July has been an interesting month for Landscape Photography and hiking. It started with moreHigh Wealdwalks in East Sussex, then switching to the South Downs. This included my first camping trip to the border of West Sussex and Hampshire and then onto the North Wessex Downs and Berkshire.
With lockdown lifted and free to wander again was hoping to get out a lot more in June for some hiking and landscape photography. What follows is a compilation of locations around East Sussex and Kent that I managed to visit during the month of June.
Lockdown continued into May but the restrictions were eased from the middle of the month onward. May has been extremely warm and dry in East Sussex, another record breaker, like mid summer at times. What follows is a compilation of landscape photography during May around East Sussex.
Due to the Covid-19 virus lockdown, Landscape photography and hiking during April was restricted. But living near the coast in East Sussex and the high weald, some interesting locations to visit were not far away for my daily exercise.
The wet stormy weather continued into March along the coast of East Sussex. Just as the weather turned nice, the lock-down due to the Corona Virus took hold of the nation so could not get out as much as I would have liked to. When I did get out during March is was mostly walks along the east Sussex coast and seascape photography. Continue reading March Seascape Photography East Sussex→
