Norfolk Landscape Photographer

I am David Woodcock a Norfolk landscape photographer. My work normally takes me to within a 30 mile radius of Norwich so when I get the opportunity, I also take some time out to visit the countryside and capture beautiful landscapes in Norfolk and North Suffolk

I shoot landscapes:-

• To sell as  wall art (i.e. prints, canvas prints, framed prints and acrylics)
• To sell as digital images for my clients websites
• For personal use to hang as photographic wall art at home and in my studio.

Landscape wall art are also super gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas.

Landscape Photography in Norfolk and Suffolk

As a professional photographer I get to photograph lots of different subjects. I live just north of Norwich and have been photographing landscapes for around 30 years. Whenever weather conditions are at their best or worst, that is when I try to find some time to photograph some the landscape.

Many of my shots are planned beforehand. When conditions are right I get to my location about 30 minutes before I intend to take the shot. If weather conditions change, a sunset does not develop or the lighting is not as I want it I go home and return at a later date. I keep a list of landscapes that I would like to photograph. So when conditions are right and I am travelling to or from clients I often spend some time taking landscape photographs.

There are so many locations to visit that are local to me, to capture some great landscapes. So my plan is to visit places on my list when weather conditions are at their best. 

As a consequence of the different soil types the landscape, habitats and wildlife in Norfolk are diverse. I particularly love photographing the Norfolk coast. Norfolk has a long coast with cliffs and wide sandy beaches. There are also beautiful woodlands, areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the beautiful City of Norwich. These habitats attract holiday makers, walkers, boating types and a multitude of birds.

The County of Norfolk

Norfolk is a large county that juts out out into the North Sea, on the east coast of England. It is well known for being flat and consequently for it’s panoramic skies. However the county’s reputation for being flat is somewhat exaggerated. If you have never visited Norfolk you will probably be surprised to find that much of the county is a gentle undulating landscape. 

In some areas of Norfolk the soil is dry and sandy. This consequently results in high temperatures by day and cool temperatures by night. Places such as Santon Downham in Breckland often record the highest and lowest temperatures of the county during the day. Due to the poor soil the surrounding pine woodland is often stunted and twisted in its growth.

Elsewhere in the county there is some of the wettest and richest land in England. This is ideal for agriculture. Agriculture and tourism are two areas where the County thrives. To the east is the Broads, an area of rivers, man made lakes and marshes. It has National Park status. Here the landscape is quite flat. With 125 miles of lock free navigable waterways the area is a great place to enjoy a holiday by hiring a boat.

In the west of Norfolk is the royal estate of Sandringham. At Heacham in the summer you will lots of different coloured lavender fields. Norfolk navel hero came from Burnham Thorpe , where his father was rector.    

Norfolk Round Tower Churches

Many of the churches in Norfolk are made from local flint. Some have square towers and some are round. Did you know that Norfolk has 124 out of the 185 round tower churches in the country?

The City of Norwich

Situated on the River Wensum and with a population of over 200,000 people is the City of Norwich, the capital of the County of Norfolk. The City has a Norman castle, two cathedrals, cobbled streets (such as Elm Hill) a vibrant shopping area with two shopping malls (Chapelfield and Castle Mall), a famous provision market and lots of independent shops in the Lanes.

The provision market is dominated by City Hall a 1930’s Art Deco style of building with a clock tower that accommodates staff working for Norwich City Council. Also nearby is the Guild Hall and the lovely Royal Arcarde with independent shops, that is really an early version of what we now call a shopping mall.

Norwich also has lots of fine architecture and public parks. There are also lots of museums, churches and pubs to visit. Much of the City is pedestrianised and consequently there is little traffic. Car parking in the City is quite expensive. I recommend using park and ride from the outskirts of the City. It is reasonably priced and the buses operate on a regular basis.

If you have never been to Norwich it is well worth a visit. With a bus and train station there is easy public transport into and out of Norwich.

The County of Suffolk 

Suffolk is on the east coast of England south of the county of Norfolk. The Suffolk coast has cliffs and wide sandy and shingle beaches plus ancient heaths. Suffolk is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. To the north of the county of Suffolk is the Broads.

I love visiting Southwold famous for it’s coloured beach huts, lighthouse and pier. There a special old world charm about Southwold. If you like drinking beer then you must try the local brews from the Adnams Brewery. The walk north to Covehithe with it’s golden cliffs is also a real treat. To the south is Walberswick another charming beach and a place that is much quieter than Southwold on a hot summers day.

Dunwich Heath with it’s purple flowering heather and yellow gorse is also another treat. It is also a great place to eat freshly caught fish and chips. Much of the old village of Dunwich is now under the sea. It is area where there is much erosion and the landscape is always changing.
