EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial shot captures the timeless beauty of Kilpeck Castle, located in the picturesque village of Kilpeck, Herefordshire. The print showcases the remarkable motte and bailey earthwork that forms the foundation of this ancient fortress, along with remnants of its once majestic keep. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2016, this image transports us back to a bygone era. The castle's imposing presence against a backdrop of lush greenery is truly awe-inspiring. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of centuries past and evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. As we gaze upon this ruinous shell keep, one can't help but imagine the countless stories it holds within its crumbling stones. Surrounded by an enchanting cemetery, Kilpeck Castle stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's relentless march through time. It serves as a poignant reminder that even grand structures eventually succumb to the passage of years. Damian Grady's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only the architectural significance but also the historical importance embedded within these ruins. It invites us to reflect on our own place in history and marvel at how far we have come since those early days when castles like Kilpeck were symbols of power and protection. This print from Historic England is more than just an image; it is a window into another world - one filled with legends, battles fought, and lives lived long ago.
