LOCATIONS bursting with vibrant greens and chestnut browns, these photographs capture the peaceful English countryside in all its glory. From sloping hills to rustling forests, these stunning landscape scenes were taken across the North of England by Yorkshire photographer Terry Roberts, 60. Born in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, Terry decided to immortalise the beauty of the English countryside, to showcase the settings he had grown up discovering and falling in love with. 'The north of England has some world class landscapes, which are a photographer's dream,' said Terry.
