EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the enigmatic Longtown Castle, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Herefordshire. The remnants of this ancient motte and bailey castle, once known as Ewias Lacy Castle during medieval times, evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. The image captures the intricate earthwork that forms the foundation of this historic site, with its imposing keep standing proudly amidst the ruins. The crumbling curtain wall serves as a poignant reminder of bygone eras and whispers tales of battles fought within these very walls. Damian Grady's expert lens has beautifully captured both the grandeur and decay that coexist within Longtown Castle. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only its architectural significance but also its integration into the surrounding natural landscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where knights roamed these grounds and noble families sought refuge behind these sturdy stone walls. It is a testament to our rich heritage and a reminder that history lives on through structures like Longtown Castle. This print from Historic England serves as more than just an aesthetic piece; it invites us to explore our past, ignites our curiosity about those who came before us, and encourages us to preserve these historical treasures for future generations.
