Inspiration in the North York Moors

Earlier this month I spent three days walking with my friends Helen and Paul in the North York Moors National Park.

We stayed in a cottage near Ingelby Greenhow. Helen's from the area, so knew all the great walks and places to for me to take photos for inspiration.

It's the first time I'd been up there and I absolutely loved it. You can see for miles. I loved the layers of vivid green flat fields, hedges and trees that led my eye through to the iconic silhouette of Roseberry.

We mainly walked along the Clevaland Way and I felt compelled to go back the following weekend with another friend called Helen, to walk up Roseberry Topping itself.

Below are some of my photos and maps of the walks we did.

The photo that inspired my recent linocut print. I took this whilst walking along the Cleveland Way from Clay Bank.

See more images about how I made this print here.
