Foxes, bridges and a rally car are among the subjects set to star in a photography club's annual exhibition.

Low Barns Photography Group is preparing for its fourth yearly show of images taken across the north-east of England and Cumbria at Low Barns Nature Reserve in Witton-le-Wear, near Bishop Auckland.

The free display will run from 29 August to 2 September at the site's Alder Room, which is open daily from 10:00 to 16:00 BST.

The group's photographers have also captured butterflies, beauty spots and figures made from flower pots over the last year.

Ahead of the exhibition, the group shared just some of the photographs set to go on show.
