EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ambleside Roman Fort, situated in the picturesque region of Cumbria. The image offers a breathtaking view of the fort from its southern side, revealing its historical significance and architectural grandeur. Dating back to the 2nd century, this formidable structure was believed to have been constructed during Hadrian's rule as a strategic defense post along the Roman road connecting Brougham to Ravenglass. The photograph showcases the fort's commanding presence against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, transporting viewers back in time to an era where legions marched and empires thrived. Its purpose as both a military stronghold and supply base is evident through its robust design and meticulous construction. Jonathan Bailey's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this ancient site - from its sturdy stone walls that have withstood centuries of weathering, to remnants of once bustling courtyards within. This visual documentation serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the significant role played by these forts in shaping our history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Jonathan Bailey, we are reminded not only of Ambleside Roman Fort's historical importance but also how photography can transport us across time and space, allowing us glimpses into worlds long gone but never forgotten.
