- In this video I visit the Alderley Edge in Cheshire. This video is slightly different from normal. As well as taking photographs at a location I also will tell you about the local legend of the wizard and how it links to a book that I read as a child called "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen" by Alan Garner.
Please enjoy this video. ______________________________________________________________

Thank you for such a lovely endearing Video...I loved it.I used to go to Alderley Edge in the Eighties when I lived in Manchester..It is a lovely place.I recall My Sister Bernie read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen...it was a school book..I was always fascinated by the title..I will get the book and read it..I bought Where Shall we run to?..A Memoir..by Alan Garner..it is a very sweet book of his Childhood..lovely read indeed..of his life in Alderley Edge.
Love Alan Garners books.
We used to go to the edge from Manchester as teenagers , finding the places , going down the mines etc !!
Great days , lovely place ✨
Glad you enjoyed it. We were taken on a school trip back in the eighties.
I just knew Goblins lived there. The carved face is pretty impressive.
It is a pretty special place.
I visited here as a child--probably about 8 years old. Read the first two books later (as an adult) and enjoyed them. So many thanks for your video--revived good old memories!
Great video,it really makes me want to do that walk and visit.
I really enjoyed making this one and it was interesting to do something a little different than I normally do.
Thank you very much for making this video and excellent footage...My dad used to take me here when i was little late 70s early 80s and had not been back since but rememebered all the magical side to it so had a googlw and found your video..Loved this and the images Very much enjoyed and going to return in th enext couple of weeks as i loive in cheshire Thank you! Sonique 📷🎥👍🤗
Glad it brought back memories.
Thanks that was a great little video trip down memory lane for me. As a lad I lived in Neither Alderly and then Wilmslow. My Dad went to school with Alan Garner and the book was first published the year I was born 1960...one of the main characters in the book is named Colin as am I...😁 Really great images as well... cheers
Great story Colin. Glad it brought bak pleasant memories.
Hi Darrell That was great and different. We've never been to Alderley Edge and it is now on our list. We loved the wizard legend. Thank you Jon & Sandra
Glad you enjoyed it. It did turn out different than normal so I wasn't sure how it would go down. It was a bit of self indulgence.
Great video, so interesting and inspiring! Thank you 🙏
Hi ,Darrel l love you videos as picked up lots of great tips. Is they any chance you can leave you shooting details on the screen for longer . Thanks
Hi David. Thanks for your comments. I leave the shooting details on screen for nearly the whole duration of the image. This is usually 5-6 seconds. My thinking is that if the image hangs about any any longer the video seems to lose it pace. Therefore people can rewind and pause. Shooting details are very specific to the lighting conditions particularly in landscape photography, so in reality they do have limited use. I can see how they can be used as an indication, but every situation will require something different. It might be worth doing a video on this.
I am sure I read this as a child, thank you for showing the locations and legends that inspired the book!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Uffington White Horse 🐎
It was good though Would have expected the witches circle and the devils tree which was about 100 yards from the highest part
Darrell, stunning location for photography. The tree with all of the roots showing was really cool, but I actually liked the composition of you talking to the camera a little better than the photograph you showed. That's just personal taste-all in all, great video and photographs. I love the way that you wove the story throughout the video. Great job, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Craig. I do like to try something a little different. I couldn't do this with every video. I sometimes get carried away with the vidography and not think as much about the photos I totally take your point about composition. I think I might be enjoying the video making even more than the photography. Thanks for your support and kind comments.
I have walked there several times Darrell but never knew there was a book connection. The image at 4:03 was an absolute stunner. 📷👍
Thanks Glyn. Yes the book was quite a big memory from my school days. The 4.03 image was an exposure stack.
Oh and you missed the stone circle!
Thanks for this presentation. Check out the Spine of Albion and Landscape Zodiacs of Britain. For King Arthur check out Alan Willson. GOD Save The King 👑🌈🦋⭐
