Enter our Farm Photography Competition!

Are you a countryside lover with a passion for photography? Did you spot a funny moment out in nature? Are you obsessed with a species and take a picture every time you see it? 

Then this may be the competition for you! 

We are launching this brand new photography competition, open to professional and amateur photographers, with a chance to win a stay at our five-bedroom Turnastone Lodge in Herefordshire.

There are three categories to enter:

• Species spotlight - Send your photo of wildlife you’ve spotted on British farmland. Let us know what species it was and where you photographed it. We’d particularly love to hear about examples of how wildlife can thrive on farms when given the right conditions.
• My moment in nature - Send us a beautiful image of a place in the British countryside that means something special to you and let us know why. Has it helped you get through difficult times? Did a significant moment happen there?
• Funny times on the farm - Whether it’s a heart-warming moment that tickles you or hilarious antics, send us your funny photos of livestock or farmland wildlife.

Each category offers a glimpse into the vast and beautiful world of the countryside.

The overall winner will be able to whisk their family or friends away for a relaxing weekend in the beautiful countryside of the Golden Valley in Herefordshire. During your stay at Turnastone Lodge, which sleeps up to 10 people, you’ll have the opportunity to go on a guided walk to explore the flora and fauna of Turnastone Court Farm with our Wildlife Monitor Ruth Moss.

There will also be other great prizes for the winners of three categories. Plus, the winning photos will be featured in the Winter 2022 edition of The Lark!
