Perfect Peaks: Photographer's amazing landscapes prove why Peak District has best views in Britain

These are the incredible images captured by part-time photographer James Grant, whose mission it is to prove just how beautiful Britain can be.

Whether there’s rain, hail or sunshine, James Grant reckons that the Peak District has some of the best views in the country.

The part-time photographer has been capturing these incredible landscapes since 2008 and is collecting the views for his guidebook, ‘The Peak District Through The Lens’, which aims to encourage Britons to visit the country’s national parks.  

The images include picturesque sunsets and a snow-capped Shutinglsoe as well as magnificent views of the Milky Way from Arbor Low.

James said: ‘I think every single person in this world enjoys a good view, it's just about knowing how to get there and what is involved.

‘I also want to share what I have seen over the years to help people see similar scenes.’

He added: ‘I want people out there to be enjoying our national parks that, as a country, we work hard to preserve.

‘We spend a lot of time at work in the week and it's a great escape people can enjoy for a relatively low cost.’
