Chris, of Haslemere, Surrey, hopes his incredible snaps will encourage others to travel to the places which he says most people wouldn't even recognise as being within the country.

He said: "As a landscape photographer while I was out on commissions I noticed that some of the most remote parts of Britain are actually the most beautiful.

"This got me to think there is a problem here that so many of these beautiful places do not get a lot of visitors, which is what they need.

"I decided about a year ago that I would spend 2016 travelling to as many locations as I can to take some stunning pictures in order to inspire people into adventuring.

"The aim is to show some people what is out there in the remote areas rather than heading to the normal places, it's worth going a little further."

Chris discovered several amazing locations, naming one of his favourite spots the Isle of Harris & Lewis in Scotland with its turquoise seas, white sands, mountains and incredible farmland.

He said Cliff beach on the Isle of Lewis, or Camas na Clibhe in Gaelic, are great remote locations where you can witness breathtaking beaches.

Bardsey Island, off the Welsh coast, is also a place Chris says not many people have heard of, but it is a sanctuary for migrating birds.

The "most magical island" to visit is said to be Lundy, which is 12 miles off the coast of Devon.

Chris said: "What we loved most about that island is you feel like you're on another world."

His sister, artist Lydia Orange, would also create artwork from the images - making the project a family affair.

Chris added: "It has been amazing actually.

"You get really raw in terms of the scenery you're seeing and some of the places I've visited in the past year have utterly astounded me.

"People have been seeing what I have been doing and want to get involved.

"I'm definitely going to continue with the project next year."
