Londonthorpe Woods, Belton Park, Bellmount and Alma Park Wood


The Woodland Trust and the National Trust, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, are working together to reconnect Grantham to its historic landscape. Access to Londonthorpe Woods, Bellmount, and Alma Park Wood will be improved for the benefit of both people and wildlife.

As a heritage researcher and a freelance photographer I am volunteering to browse through the history of its places and landscape, and taking pictures on different levels:

  • fixed point photography: at 16 places, mostly from multiple angles, capturing the changes made before and after the planned infrastructure and improvement works
  • travel in time: in search of the places where old pictures were taken (opens in another website)
  • day-to-day photography: activities, events,…

On the map below you can hoover over the exciting landscape and look for interesting spots, a way to follow the project’s progress.
