Discover the Avon Valley Through Photography

Slow down, look closer and learn to capture the hidden beauty of the Avon Valley through the lens of your camera.

This experience is part of City Uncovered: Bath, taking place from 1st–14th June 2026 — a limited-time series of unique, under-the-radar experiences designed to help you see the city differently.

Join award-winning photographer Chris for a relaxed photography workshop exploring one of the most scenic and overlooked landscapes just beyond Bath. Beginning in the Avon Valley, you’ll spend three hours wandering through canal paths, riverside trails and charming villages while learning how to take more confident, creative photographs — whether you’re using a DSLR, mirrorless camera or simply your smartphone.

As you walk, Chris will guide you through the fundamentals of photography in a practical, hands-on way, helping you understand composition, exposure, focus, lighting and lens choice while responding to the landscapes around you. Along the route, you’ll uncover countless photo opportunities including historic viaducts, stone bridges, wildlife, churches, waterways and postcard-worthy countryside views.

The workshop is designed to feel supportive, unpressured and inspiring, with plenty of time to ask questions, experiment and develop your own creative eye. Before the session, Chris will also chat with you about your experience level and what you’d most like to get out of the day.

Expect fresh air, hidden viewpoints and a completely different perspective on the landscape surrounding Bath.
