Discover Cornwall
Capture the Cornish Coast's Raw Beauty
Join us on this 6-day photography adventure through one of England's most photogenic regions. Cornwall's dramatic coastlines, rugged moorlands, and unique cultural heritage provide an incredible diversity of photographic subjects. From golden hour light on sandstone cliffs to misty moorland vistas and ancient standing stones, every location offers something special for landscape, seascape, and wildlife photographers.
This tour is perfect for photographers seeking to expand their skills in coastal and landscape photography. We'll explore hidden coves, work with dramatic tidal conditions, and venture to lesser-known locations that most visitors miss. Our small group approach ensures you get personalised guidance from an experienced professional photographer. You'll find more of our favourite UK landscape locations written up in the photography guides.
Behind this tour
The work you don't see
🗺️
35+ locations scouted Sharrow Bay, Rame Head, Bodmin Moor, and the lesser-known spots in between. Tide times for the coast, trail conditions on the moor, and the safest approach routes tested in person, so we spend the time photographing rather than scrambling.
🌊
Tides and light aligned Every shoot is planned around low-water windows, swell direction and golden-hour timing. The daily plan flexes around conditions, not a brochure.
🕰️
Dates set for drama A spring departure, when storms still roll in but the light opens up between them. We don't run midsummer when the light's flat and the crowds are high.

Daily Itinerary
We'll depart from central London early morning and travel through the English countryside to Cornwall. Along the way, we may stop to capture images at interesting locations. We'll arrive at our vegan farm accommodation in the afternoon, giving you time to settle in, charge equipment, and prepare for the week ahead. Sunset photography session depending on conditions and timing.
We'll explore Golitha Falls, Cornwall's loveliest waterfall sitting in a wooded valley. Perfect for waterfall photography with soft morning light. In the afternoon, we'll visit The Hurlers Standing Stones, an ancient Neolithic monument offering fascinating compositional opportunities against moorland backdrops. We'll work with the light throughout the afternoon and capture golden hour shots.
A day devoted to Cornwall's dramatic coastlines. We'll visit iconic clifftop locations offering sweeping seascape views. Depending on conditions, we may work with long exposures to create silky water effects or capture dramatic cloud formations and golden hour light on the cliffs. We'll explore multiple vantage points throughout the day as the light changes.
We'll visit The Cheesewring, a distinctive granite formation stacked high on Bodmin Moor. These ancient rocks create striking compositions, particularly with dramatic skies. We'll photograph the moorland landscape with its rolling hills, granite tors, and unique Cornish flora. This location offers excellent opportunities for landscape and detail photography.
We'll shoot to the conditions of the day, visiting a location chosen for the light and weather rather than fixed to the itinerary, whether that's a favourite spot revisited or somewhere new we haven't yet explored. In the evening, we'll gather for a guided Lightroom post-processing session to review and refine your favourite images from the week.
Morning photography session at a location chosen based on conditions and group interests. We may revisit a favourite location or explore somewhere new. After checkout, we'll begin our journey back to London, stopping at interesting locations along the way. We expect to arrive back at Euston Tower by early evening.

I had the pleasure of joining Dion on a multi-day trip to Cornwall — an amazing experience. Dion is a very skilled photographer who has a passion to share his knowledge. His extensive knowledge of the area and deep understanding of what spot works best in specific weather conditions allowed us to maximise our chances of getting the best photos even when conditions changed through the day.

After an eye-opening, thoroughly productive multi-day astrophotography tour in Cornwall, I was very happy to secure a place in another of Dion's tours. He knew exactly where and when to take us for the best possible shot, tirelessly providing expert advice and a set of Kase filters available for anyone who wished to use them.
