On 17 April 2015, photographer Quintin Lake embarked on a five-year journey around Britain’s coastline, walking 11,000 km in 454 days. His goal: to produce a body of photographic work that gets under the surface of the island nation that we call home. The result:  The Perimeter, an immersive visual experience that travels from Staithes in Yorkshire, to the desert landscape of Dungeness in Kent and from the beautiful desolation of Scotland’s Knoydart Peninsula to the Welsh coast path, where plumes of steam rising from the Port Talbot steelworks are as jaw-dropping as the stunning Worm’s Head on the Gower Peninsula.

Quintin Lake is a multi-award-winning photographer specialising in landscape and architecture, with 25 years of experience. A fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Royal Society of Arts, his work has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel. In 2020, he was named The Great Outdoors’ Outdoor Personality of the Year. 

The Lunchtime Lecture Series is sponsored by The Norie Trust.
