An international photography exhibition is set to be showcased around the grounds of a popular tourist attraction in Kent.

Earth Photo, featuring work by photographers from around the world, will open at Hever Castle for two weeks from 15 February.

It shares stories about the environment, nature, people, forests, and the varied impacts of climate change.

Duncan Leslie, chief executive at the attraction, said he was "thrilled to be giving visitors the chance to view these incredible images within our stunning landscape".

The project has been developed as a partnership between the Royal Geographical Society and Forestry England to "spark conversations on the impact of climate change on our environment".

The 2024 shortlisted Earth Photo works have been on a tour of Forestry England sites, including Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent.

A total of 112 images were selected to take part in the exhibition out of over 1,900 entries.

Hever Castle will showcase 30 of these.
