The best views from Winter 2022

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This December we asked for your favourite Christmas and Winter views, as always we were amazed by the amount of photos we received highlighting the beauty in our community. We created a gallery with some of the photos, you will find family, picturesque views and of course dogs.

We had to choose a winning photo to feature on the cover of our annual report. This decision was always going to be a tough one with the quality of the photos, However Edyta’s photo of a family of deer crossing Tatton park (pictured above) stood out and edged it as the winner. Look out in the annual report for some other of these photos.
