EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print by Damian Grady showcases the remarkable Cadbury Castle, an ancient hillfort nestled in Somerset. Dating back to the Iron Age, this site has witnessed the ebb and flow of history through its reoccupation during Roman and Early Medieval periods. Its significance is further heightened by being considered a potential location for Camelot, the legendary court of King Arthur. The image captures the intricate earthwork remains that form Cadbury Castle's formidable fortifications. From above, one can appreciate the strategic design of this hillfort, which once provided protection to its inhabitants against external threats. The undulating landscape surrounding it adds to its mystique and allure. Grady's expert aerial photography allows us to explore every nook and cranny of this historic site with unparalleled detail. The texture of the earthworks becomes apparent as they snake their way across the land, revealing centuries-old stories etched into their very foundations. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination takes flight as we envision warriors defending their stronghold or traders bustling within its walls. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to those who came before us and invites us to delve deeper into Britain's rich heritage. Damian Grady's stunning depiction of Cadbury Castle transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us that history lives on in these ancient landscapes waiting patiently for discovery and interpretation.
