An early-spring aerial view looking south over Thorpeness on the Suffolk coast, with its familiar sweep of shingle, the Meare, the clustered red-roofed houses, and the long spine of dunes that has always defined this village. From above, you really see how Thorpeness sits on a narrow ribbon of land between the North Sea and the low wetlands of the old estate lake, a location that has shaped every part of its history.
Thorpeness was created in the early 1900s by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie as an idealised holiday village — mock-Tudor houses, the famous House in the Clouds disguised as a water tower, and the boating lake inspired by Peter Pan. Much of that original character is still intact, and from the air the planned layout becomes even more obvious, with the village tightly gathered around the Meare and the edges left open to heath and marsh.
Running beyond the village is the long shingle coastline that marches away towards Sizewell. The power station sits further down the shoreline, a stark contrast to the older landscape around it, and a reminder of just how industrial and natural Suffolk can be at the same time. The dunes and shingle banks between Thorpeness and Sizewell are in constant motion, shaped by longshore drift and winter storms, and the shoreline here has shifted repeatedly over the past century. The defensive shingle ridge that once protected this stretch of coast is thinning in places, a quiet sign of the ongoing coastal challenges that affect the whole of Suffolk.
The patchwork of fields inland shows the gentle rise towards Leiston and the Suffolk Sandlings — a mix of heathland, farmland, and small pockets of woodland dotted with bright yellow gorse at this time of year. The Meare itself, with its islands and sheltered inlets, was originally a drained marsh re-flooded and landscaped as part of the Edwardian fantasy village, and from above it still looks like a calm, sheltered lagoon separated from the open sea by just a few hundred metres of shingle.
This photograph gives a sense of the whole setting in one frame: the purpose-built holiday village, the wildness of the Sandlings, the broad Suffolk shoreline stretching into the distance, and the unmistakable outline of Sizewell further south. A landscape shaped by human imagination and engineering but still very much defined by the great flat sweep of the North Sea.
View towards Bristol’s Floating Harbour — the River Avon winding past the Cumberland Basin into the heart of the city. A striking mix of historic terraces, green spaces, and the docks that shaped Bristol’s maritime past.
Bristol’s Floating Harbour was created in 1809 when the River Avon was diverted, allowing ships to remain afloat at all times rather than grounding at low tide. The Cumberland Basin forms part of this system, acting as the entrance/lock from the tidal Avon.

Swaffham, Norfolk — an aerial photograph of the market town at the heart of Breckland, showing the Georgian market place and the distinctive Buttercross, built in 1783 by George Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford. The town was granted a charter to hold markets in 1186, and its long history as a trading centre continues today with the Saturday market visible here.
The large red-brick building at the top centre is the former Corn Hall, completed in 1858, now used for community events and exhibitions. Swaffham’s prosperity grew from agriculture and the nearby Fens, and it expanded rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the handsome façades around the square date from that Georgian era.
Swaffham is also known for its association with the “Pedlar of Swaffham” legend, commemorated in a carving on the church of St Peter and St Paul, one of the finest town churches in Norfolk.
A busy, characterful market town surrounded by gently rolling Breckland farmland.
