This Is The Lake District
Having spent years photographing the Lake District for our holiday cottage company we thought it was time to ramp things up and create Time Lapse and video movies.
Shot by Jack Serginson and Ollie Gough with a bit of help from myself I think they have produced something quite special, highlighting Cumbria's Lake District and showing why this stunning area is the perfect holiday destination. Look out for re-edits and new films. Big thanks to Cam, Ram and Set from Reforest Records for running out a great sound track at short notice. Oh and by the way, in their urgency to get the film up before disappearing to Norway for their next great time lapse adventure, they made a few spelling typos - Tut Tut boys, I guess I should have checked.
If you want to visit the Lake District then do see our Visit England inspected quality Lake District Cottages see our website at - you won't be disappointed.

Places to see in ( Cranleigh - UK )
Places to see in ( Cranleigh - UK )
Cranleigh is a large village and civil parish, self-proclaimed the largest in England, almost 8 miles southeast of Guildford in Surrey. It lies east of the A281, which links Guildford with Horsham, on an alternative route that is not an A-road. It is in the north-west corner of the Weald (a large remnant forest) and immediately south-east of Winterfold Forest, a remaining area of forest on the Greensand Ridge.
Situated partly on the Greensand Ridge, where it rises to 700 feet (210 m) at Winterfold Hill, but mainly on the clay and sandstone Lower Weald, Cranleigh has little of prehistoric or Roman interest, whereas just across the east border Wykehurst and Rapley Farms have a Roman buildings and Roman Tile Kilns — in the parish of Ewhurst. A spur of the Roman road between London and Chichester runs north west to Guildford past nearby Farley Heath in Farley Green, a temple site. Cranleigh was not mentioned in the Domesday Book, at that time being part of the manor of Shere.
Cranleigh village is 7.7 miles (12.4 km) southeast of the county town of Surrey, Guildford, and 6.2 miles (10.0 km) ESE of Godalming, which is the administrative centre of the borough of Waverley. In the centre of the civil parish are the greatest number of buildings, fanning out in many side roads and situated on the high street itself. Cranleigh Waters also known as the Cranleigh Water drains the village, before flowing to Shalford where it joins the River Wey, specifically in the small, formerly marsh-like locality of Peasmarsh, which still has water meadows lining the bank itself. Winterfold Forest, a remaining higher part of the forest that occupies the northeast is on the Greensand Ridge, which can be explored using in places roads or by the long distance path, the Greensand Way.
Rowly is a neighbourhood 0.8 miles (1.3 km) NNW of the edge of the contiguous suburban part of Cranleigh that architecturally contains three Grade II listed buildings. Three surrounding farms have listed farmhouses, and one of these has a listed granary. Rowly is separated from Cranleigh by Manfield Park and Hollyhocks House.
Baynards to the south is separated by a green buffer including the lake, Vachery Pond. It consists of fewer than 20 buildings. Reached by Knowle Lane, a rural road leading off of the high street, which is dotted with houses, the settlement lies east of that lane along another lane, Baynards Road. No other neighbourhoods or localities of importance exist in the civil parish as a whole.
Cranleigh railway station was opened in 1865 as Cranley as part of the Cranleigh Line, its name was changed in 1867 to Cranleigh at the request of the Postmaster General as badly addressed letters to Cranley were often mistaken for Crawley and vice versa. Cranleigh was the busiest station on the line with regular commuter traffic to and from London via Guildford. Cranleigh had a substantial goods yard equipped with a large loading gantry. Inward freight consisted mainly of coal which was required, in particular, by the local gasworks, whilst goods outward were mainly timber.
Cranleigh is located at the junction of two B roads to the east of the A281 Guildford to Horsham road. The village is on a number of bus routes, serving among others Guildford, Horsham, Godalming and Ewhurst. The main operator is Arriva Guildford & West Surrey, which has a depot in Cranleigh. The Wey and Arun Canal is gradually being restored.
A square near the centre of the village on the High Street, which is the main road running through Cranleigh. Stocklund Square was constructed following the closing of the railway line in 1965, and the removal of the railway station. Winterfold House, north-east of the village along Barhatch Lane, was built in 1886 for Richard Webster QC, afterwards Viscount Alverstone. He became Lord Chief Justice in 1900 and died in 1915. A bench in the woodland above the house is known as 'Lord Justice Seat'.

Downs Link by bike (6 of 9) - Christ's Hospital to Rudgwick
The Downs Link uses two disused railway track-beds to link the South Downs Way and North Downs Way. To ride the whole track-bed one should begin at Shoreham-by-Sea and follow the path to Peasmarsh (south of Guildford).
After a diversion onto lanes, we pick up the track-bed of the second railway line (Christ's Hospital to Guildford). The Downs Link runs next to the original track-bed for a while and onto it properly before Slinfold. Later, we cross the A281, pass through Rudgwick village and the video ends where the Downs Link heads steeply upward while the track-bed continues unsurfaced, for a few hundred yards, towards a bricked-up tunnel.
Also on this channel: Cuckoo Trail and Centurion Way. For the ultimate humorous cycling travelogue 'Stair-Rods and Stars' by Adam Colton is available in paperback and digital formats, documenting trips along disused rail lines, canals and ancient trails in Southern England.
VLog: Travelling to Slinfold, West Sussex
It feels such a long time since we last went out in Herman. Zoe and I make a last minute decision to visit Slinfold, West Sussex. A little village with a great community.
Downs Link by bike (7 of 9) - Rudgwick to Cranleigh (double speed)
The Downs Link uses two disused railway track-beds to link the South Downs Way and North Downs Way. To ride the whole track-bed one should begin at Shoreham-by-Sea and follow the path to Peasmarsh (south of Guildford).
This section climbs steeply (you will hear that the rider is on foot) to pass over the hill which the line tunnelled beneath. We pass into Surrey at the top, descend, re-join the track-bed and pass the former station at Baynards. The route is predominantly wooded as we continue to the large village of Cranleigh.

A super fast trip around London by car - then out into the countryside (time lapse)
A time lapse car journey past several points of interest in central London, then westwards out of the city and into the Surrey and West Sussex countryside. Music: Svo Hljótt by Sigur Rós.
Route starts at Piccadilly Circus, around Trafalgar Square, along the Mall, past Buckingham Palace and through Knightsbridge before heading west and then south out of London.
Not strictly a time lapse, as this is sped-up video as opposed to photographs. But the same overall effect!

Guildford - an Engineman's View (steam locos and men)
DVD available from SVS Film at svsfilm.com
82 minutes plus bonus scenes on the Bluebell and A4 'Kingfisher' tour in March 1966.
Guildford -- an Engineman's View features the unique collection of 8mm cine film shot by Guildford driver Lew Wooldridge between 1963 and 1966. Lew's films are special as they were mostly taken while he was at work or from viewpoints not generally accessible to the public. Often filmed in poor light and never with a tripod, they nevertheless give us a rare insight into the people and their lives at the steam locomotive depot - over 80 staff members are identified. Lew also took his camera on some of the Guildford workings to such diverse locations as Woking, Walton, Feltham, Aldershot, Reading and even as far as Salisbury and Redbridge. Nothing physically remains today of the Guildford steam depot which closed in July 1967 but its memory lives on in these rare films.
Pitch Hill, Surrey Hills
Foggy and cold ride up Pitch Hill from Shere side. Hound House Road, Surrey.
SWC Free Walk 108, Burgess Hill to Hassocks. 18/9/11.
Nearly 17 miles of walking through the West Sussex countryside incorporating both the Sussex Border Path and The South Downs Way.
The walker initially follows a path next to the railway line towards Hassocks before branching off across a local park. Thereafter, there's a climb past a water tower before joining the Sussex Border Path for the walk to Ditchling for lunch.
The afternoon section begins with an ascent to Ditchling Beacon for a walk along the South Downs way before the descent into Pyecombe; there's a further climb from there up to Wolstonbury Hill before another descent down to Hurstpierpoint and the journey back to Hassocks.
A delightful day's walking that is full of variety.
