August vs October 🌾🔥

The difference a few months can make… 😳

This comparison shows just how dramatically the conditions have changed between October and August. What was once green and lush is now incredibly dry, with the grass across the area turning tinder-dry.

It’s not just here either, these conditions are being seen across the country, with grass fires and wildfires spreading rapidly. 🔥

A few weeks ago I went to a grass fire attended by Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service and seen the damage caused and the hard work that goes into putting even a small grass fire out. It also took two appliances off the run for a considerable amount of time.

So please, be fire smart:
🚯 Don’t leave litter behind
🚬 Never dump cigarette ends
🔥 No BBQs or open fires
🐾 Take extra care when enjoying the countryside

Grass fires can spread incredibly quickly. One careless action can have a huge impact on our countryside, wildlife and communities.

Stay safe, look after the countryside and help prevent fires. 🌿🔥

A short drone flight over Clockburn Pond and the historic Mill Race and Dam at Winlaton Mill. 🚁🌿

Tucked away in the beautiful Derwent Valley, this peaceful spot was once at the heart of Ambrose Crowley’s famous iron works. The mill race and dam channelled water to power machinery that helped produce iron goods exported around the world, making Winlaton Mill an important centre of Britain’s industrial heritage. Today, it’s a tranquil part of the Land of Oak & Iron Trail, where woodland walks and fascinating history come together.

🐝 A little moment of nature at Blaydon Burn. While walking through the woodland, this busy bee paused just long enough to capture a close-up reminder of how important these tiny pollinators are. 🌼

Blaydon Burn is a haven for wildlife, with its woodland, flowing burn and rich variety of wildflowers providing the perfect habitat for bees, butterflies and countless other species. It’s amazing what you can find when you slow down and take a closer look. 🌿💛

A fantastic walk this weekend covering some of the locations I’ve took photos / videos at.

A peaceful walk through Lands Wood, nestled in the beautiful Tyne Valley. 🌳 This ancient woodland is cared for in part by the The Woodland Trust and forms part of the Land of Oak & Iron landscape, a region shaped by centuries of woodland management, coal mining, ironworking and the River Tyne. Today, the woodland offers a glimpse into the area’s rich industrial and natural heritage, where old woodland paths now weave through a landscape once vital to the North East’s history. 🍃⚒️

It’s a reminder that some of the region’s most fascinating stories aren’t found in museums—they’re hidden beneath the trees.

Hidden away in Blaydon Burn is a fascinating reminder of the area’s industrial past. 🌿⛏️ Once a busy route serving the local coal and chemical industries, this bricked-up entrance originally led into the former Edward Pit before being repurposed around 1900 by Priestman Collieries as the entrance to the Tar Tunnel. The tunnel carried tar from the Ottovale works on the east side of the valley to the railway below, ready for transport along the Tyne. When the Ottovale tar works closed in the late 1950s, the tunnel fell into disuse and the entrance was sealed, leaving behind one of Blaydon Burn’s lesser-known pieces of industrial heritage.

Today, Blaydon Burn Nature Reserve is better known for its peaceful woodland, wildlife and walking trails, but beneath the trees lies a landscape shaped by centuries of coal mining, industry and the communities that grew around it. Every walk here is a chance to discover another chapter of the area’s remarkable history. 🚶‍♂️🌳

Nestled in the heart of Blaydon Dene, this charming stone drinking fountain is a reminder of the area’s rich Victorian heritage. 🌿💧

The historic fountain in Blaydon Dene was donated by Joseph Cowen MP to provide local people with a source of safe, clean drinking water at a time when access to fresh water was far less reliable than it is today. A prominent politician, journalist, and philanthropist, Cowen was well known for his commitment to improving the lives of working people across Tyneside. While much has changed in the dene over the years, it still retains a unique charm. The fountain remains a lasting reminder of the area’s Victorian heritage and the generosity of those who invested in the wellbeing of the local community.

Sometimes the best adventures are the simplest ones. A walk through the woods, plenty of fresh air, and a 360 camera to capture it all from a perspective you don’t get to see every day. Turning an ordinary woodland stroll into its own little planet. 🌲✨
