Description

A book and photographic record of Ashdown Forest through the seasons

By Craig Payne

Filled with over 100 beautiful photographs of Ashdown Forest by local photographer, Craig Payne, “Ashdown Forest: Through the Seasons” is now available to collect from the Ashdown Forest Centre.  The numbered limited edition features gold foil text on the front cover and is signed by the photographer.

Craig’s dream to document Ashdown Forest through photography became a reality during Covid.

He explains “As we entered the first Lockdown and my couples postponed their weddings I began to explore Ashdown Forest more and more. A dream of documenting the landscape throughout the year began to become more of a reality and fast forward 2 years the result is a series of limited edition prints and a soon to be produced book!

Ashdown inspired the stories of Winnie-the-Pooh, it is the home to rare heathland specialist species and provides an escape to so many during these uncertain times. It stands as a place we can visit with friends, somewhere we can loose ourselves in and a beautiful space where we can admire the beauty of nature. As a wilderness it embraces the harshest of Winter storms and the warmest of Summer days and this project looks at everything we love about it.”
