Parks & Nature

This collection spans England’s diverse landscapes, from London’s Royal Parks like Kensington Gardens and Greenwich to the rugged granite tors of Dartmoor. It features historic sites such as the medieval ruins of St Dunstan in the East and the Royal Observatory's Prime Meridian. Natural highlights include the High Force waterfall in Teesdale, the fells of the Lake District, and the manicured university gardens in Cambridge. Coastal areas are represented by the sandy shores of Torre Abbey Sands and the expansive Crosby Beach.
