Finding new places and exploring local gems has become one of my favourite past times since travelling abroad has been off the cards over the past few months. I suppose being curious and adventurous is a given when travelling, however this time back home in the UK has forced me to discover some truly awesome spots right on my doorstep.
The secret to finding these mysterious locations is through Instagram on which you can utilise the explore location tool. It’s a competitive market on the world of Insta for professionals to produce high quality content, so people are always going that extra mile to get the most epic shots.
My most recent adventure with my partner in crime was Ouse Valley Viaduct Bridge in Sussex just past Gatwick. This was another hidden gem my boyfriend had tracked down via Instagram and we were both keen to get some unique golden hour snaps.
Described as the most elegant viaduct in Britain, construction of the bridge commenced back in the 1830s and has continued to stand the test of time as a functioning railway bridge. Built through the undulations of the valley, the resulting view through that tunnel of 37 arches is spectacular.
Composed of red bricks shipped all the way from the Netherlands along with smooth limestone, sunset hues cast stunning shadows through the viaduct at dusk. A playground for photographers, this bridge is truly unique for capturing different angles on symmetry and perspective.
A final thought from me on Perspective; Stay in your own lane, comparison kills creativity and joy.
I thought the bricks would be from Accrington UK
