| HowardJ Photographer Location United Kingdom Surrey | Virginia Water lake near Wentworth golf course on the A30 but you'll need to get there early and I suspect it gets busy during the school summer holidays and watch for members of the Olympic rowing or canoe squads who are now just up the road at the royal holloway it has some upright columns, fallen columns, trees, sculptures and other bits and bobs kindly donated by Queen Victoria. I think there's a waterfall there too. See Google maps for pics just turn the photo layer on to see pics people have taken or use google's image search. Sunday is a day to avoid it as most of London seems to descend on it for a walk. |

| HowardJ Photographer Location United Kingdom Surrey | I think Virginia Water is your best bet. There are other formal gardens in the area, but I think they're pay to enter and you won't be able to get access in the early morning to do art nude shoots. |

| JennyWren Model  Location United Kingdom Dorset Shaftesbury | If you fancy hopping over the locked fences then there is te remains of Reading Abbey right in the town centre. Or, There is an old airfield in Woodley (half an hour on bus no.63 from the town centre) which has a few disused shelters and such like dotted around. If you follow the river on foot from the town centre (go down by the Oracle and keep walking) then there are some pretty locations in ether direction. Or, there is always Forbury Gardens in the centre (probably full of emo kids all through the night and early hours though. Not that I EVER hung around there... Honestly!) The university grounds have some picturesque walks that are quiet. I grew up a stones throw from the town centre, what sort of location are you after? |

| JennyWren Model Location United Kingdom Dorset Shaftesbury | And that'll teach me not to read before I type... Just saw that you are from the 'Ding yourself so will no doubt know about all these places... Just one more though, I moved away 8 years ago, so they may have torn it down now, but there used to be a proper old cinema (red velvet curtains, fancy balcony etc) on Friar Street. They closed it when I was about 13, but my friends and I used to sneak in through the back and "ghost hunt". That could be a cool place? |

| CallmeKev Photographer  Location United Kingdom Berkshire Reading | I use an abandoned barn which is off the A321, adjacent to the A329(M), and it is secluded. To the north of Wokingham and a car is a must! I know a lot of photographers who use it and shoot up to nude, and I have never been interupted there during a shoot. The grafitti keeps changing but It is a bit grotty underfoot so be carefull if going bare foot. Woodland near Binfield are also a favourite called Pockets Copse. It is accessable by a short walk from Murrell Hill Lane, off the B3408 and again a car is a must. I have shot nude here too but be wary of dog walkers! Very nice Bluebell woods at the right time of year. I accept that they are not 'in Reading' but I'm sure that a decent photographer would offer to give you a lift! Good luck in your search Kev |
