We didn’t run a June Aysgarth workshop for the first few year of our workshops, preferring the early spring and autumn slots for a better chance of nice diffused light for the waterfalls. However, having tried it one year it’s been a firm favourite in the schedule ever since…

Our second Spring visit to Bolton Abbey and Strid wood was now upon us. Although the two workshops are just 4 weeks apart, the woodland changes dramatically. The Bluebells, although there are a few are still around have now made way for the vast carpets of Wild Garlic.
