Captured by the talented photographer Damian Grady, this stunning aerial print showcases the enigmatic beauty of Thornborough Henges. Nestled within the serene landscape of Thornborough Moor in North Yorkshire, these three remarkable Neolithic/early Bronze Age henge monuments stand aligned in perfect harmony. Dating back thousands of years, these earthworks have stood as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The precision with which they were constructed is awe-inspiring, leaving archaeologists and historians intrigued by their purpose and significance. The photograph offers a unique perspective from above, allowing us to appreciate the vastness and intricacy of these ancient structures. From this vantage point, one can truly grasp the scale of each henge monument and marvel at their uniformity. As we gaze upon this image, our minds are transported back in time to an era long gone but not forgotten.

Thornborough Henges serve as a reminder of our shared human history and provide valuable insights into our ancestors' lives. This print invites us to explore the mysteries hidden within its frame while igniting a sense of wonder about those who came before us.
