Forthcoming Trips

October 10th. 2010
Burghley House and Stamford
We will meet at 10:30 in the car park (free) where we may wander around the park (also free) which should be lovely with the autumnal colours and a large herd of deer. Some of us may choose to visit the house or the Secret Garden and sculptures. There should be autumnal floral displays in the house.
If we grow tired of the house and grounds, Stamford is a town on the doorstep which lends itself to good photography. Also in the reasonable vicinity, should the weather not be kind to us there is the Railway and The Shuttleworth collection as alternative venues.

Cambridge has a wealth of photographic opportunities nearly all of which are close to the city centre. There is also a Botanic Garden approx one mile from the centre and it is possible to use the park and ride to get there. As weather is a factor, details on the day will be finalised at the bus park.
