EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the enigmatic Cadbury Castle, an ancient hillfort nestled in the picturesque Somerset countryside. The earthwork remains of this Iron Age stronghold have witnessed centuries of history, with evidence suggesting reoccupation during both Roman and Early Medieval periods. Its rich historical significance has even led some to speculate that it may be the legendary site of Camelot. The photograph, expertly captured by Damian Grady, offers a unique perspective on this archaeological marvel. From above, we can appreciate the intricate layout of the hillfort's defensive earthworks, which encircle its summit like protective arms. The undulating landscape surrounding Cadbury Castle adds to its allure, as if nature itself is guarding this ancient treasure. As our eyes trace the contours of these remarkable earthworks, we are transported back in time to an era when warriors defended their tribes within these very walls. It is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience that such structures still stand today. Grady's skillful composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the grandeur and mystery of Cadbury Castle. With each passing cloud casting shadows over its grassy ramparts, we are reminded that beneath our feet lies a hidden world waiting to be explored—a place where legends intertwine with reality and where echoes from distant civilizations whisper through time. In this print from Historic England, Damian Grady invites us on a visual journey into Britain's past—an invitation impossible for any history enthusiast or curious wanderer to resist.
