Enjoying Britain’s Stunning Nature and Wildlife

Britain has a wealth of natural beauty with stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife.

And as 2025 draws nearer, it’s time to appreciate the beauty around us. There’s nothing better than beating the winter weather and enjoying the fruits of labour of some of the best photographers around.

Nature and adventure photographer John Beatty has once again teamed up with The John Muir Trust to create a stunning calendar and desk diary.

With images capturing wild beauty through fantastic shots from across the UK, both products are a must for the Christmas list.

The trust’s partnership enables it to help promote its work in wild land conversion and the diary features 60 inspiring images showcasing some of the best wild-nature and landscape photography in Britain.

Complied in a week to week format, offering ample space to write for each day of the year, the diary has a clear week to view design with informative captions which represent the atmosphere and moods of wild places, taking in the white sands of machair in North-Western Scotland to the windswept granite tors of Cornwall.

The calendar too features 12 spectacular large images showing some of Britain’s most spectacular scenery and wildlife and all taken by top photographers, with the attention to detail and highly impressive.

Shots in the collection include a fabulous insight into one of the most famous sea cliff arches in the world at Durdle Door in Dorset, captured magnificently by photographer Guy Edwardes.

Imagine waking up on a cold winter’s morning to a stunning photograph of one of Scotland’s finest mountains, the Suilven, 731metres of perfection and photographed in its beauty by James Roddie.

Edited by John Beatty and with a foreword by BBC television presenter Iolo Williams, the calendar and diary feature a wealth of informative captions and location maps, with each image bringing the beauty of nature into our homes throughout the changing seasons.

John said:

“This year I have introduced some exciting new photographers works – the brilliance of these images makes my work as editor one of enormous enjoyment in the making of this year’s editions which are packed with land and seascapes, wildlife, plants and textures of nature.”

The diary costs £16.50 and the calendar, £13 and can be purchased from www.wild-nature.co.uk, where there is also information on this year’s photographers and the work of The John Muir Trust.
