Final chance to win £500 in our Beautiful British Landscapes photo competition

This is the final week for entries in the Beautiful British Landscapes photo competition we are running in association with the Woodland Trust.

The idea of the competition is simple – to capture the magnificent countryside in all its many forms. And the people working in agriculture are probably best placed to do this, knowing the land and all its wonders.

You could enter a picture you go out and capture this week, or a shot from your archives. The winning picture will net £500 and be published in Farmers Weekly.

To find out more and enter, just go to our photo competition page.

We have had hundreds of lovely photos entered – here is a snapshot of the photos to inspire you.

Sponsor’s message

Trees and woods are crucial components of some of our best-loved landscapes.

They provide homes for wildlife and food and fuel. They help to support farming systems by offering shade for livestock, shelter for crops and assisting field drainage.

Sadly, tree pests and diseases pose a serious threat to our woods and trees and we risk losing them and their many benefits.

Planting a diverse mix of native tree species can help protect the landscapes that we hold dear and increase their ability to bounce back from the impacts of pests and diseases.

The Woodland Trust works with farmers to offer one-to-one advice and support for planting trees. Visit the Woodland Trust website for more information
