Something British Monday #8 - British Scenery


One thing that I find wonderful about my writing taking place in Great Britain, is the lovely scenery that comes naturally with the location. I greatly enjoy searching the internet for the perfect inspiration for each scene in my novels.

The picture to the right, with the beautifully coloured trees and the small cabin, was the inspiration for one of the locations in my second novel, The Trouble With Love. Beautiful, isn't it?



I find these two to be very mysterious. I could just imagine a couple running through this forest, and ensconced in this castle.

I think I'll put these two in future novels. The scenery is simply lovely.


These two winter scenes are the inspiration for the home of the Marquess of Withington in my third novel, Love and Deceit. At least half of the novel will take place in this massive home and on its grounds.  What do you think?

Do you like the scenery in Great Britain as well?

  2. Lovely photos, Cheri! Thanks for sharing.

    A fellow blogger who lives in Wales and recently summered in Ireland always posts some amazing photos of the sites of his books, too. He wrote a YA novel called Tilly Greenway and the Secret of the Ancient Keys. Like you, he gets a lot of inspiration for his stories from his environment. If you get a chance to check out Essi Tolling's blog (he's also on Facebook), you will be amazed at his photography, too. :)

    It's fun to find inspiration from things around us and photos really give us some perfect images to work with. :)
