Our town is blessed with some really great places for photography, whether that’s nature photography or something for your Instagram (or even to accompany your Wymondham Magazine articles). Here are some of my top picks for getting that perfect snap.

My first pick has got to be where Church Street and Market Street meet by Becket’s Chapel. This spot is perfect for a little taste of Wymondham to share with your friends from afar. If you angle it correctly, you can get the Wymondham sign, Becket’s Chapel, and the Green Dragon pub all in one shot. The winding road also adds to this photographic moment.

Next is the Market Cross; it’s central, steeped in history, and iconic. This grade one listed building is a great place for a bit of photography - you can sit in the middle if you’d like a family or solo photo, or if you cross the road, you can get a nice pic from any angle; its circularity means it’s impossible to get it wrong.

I couldn’t do this article without mentioning Wymondham Abbey. Not only is it beautiful, captivating, and historical, but it has range. You have endless options and angles to choose from: standing under the huge arch, wandering along a path, peeking through the trees, and even capturing the sheep if they’re there. This is a spot that is also particularly good when the seasons are changing. I don’t know anyone that’s been to Wymondham and doesn’t have a photo of the Abbey. Alongside the sheep, this is also a great place to spy some wildlife.

Another great spot is down one of our many historical streets. I think standing at the bottom of Fairland Street looking up the small incline can be very nice, or down Vicar Street or Becketswell Road. The point is we’ve got lots of them and many more that I’ve not named.

The Wymondham Abbey railway station provides another good photo opportunity, either at various points around the station itself or you can trail down to the bank of the River Tiffy and take one by the bridge.

I hope some of my choices have given you some ideas or even jogged your memory of some photos you’ve taken already. Whether you’re new to Wymondham, dropping by, or are born and bred in our town, sometimes you can’t help but take a snap of some of the beautiful spots our town has to offer.

And with the Spring Arts Festival coming soon, what better time is there to try your hand at photography?
