EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the mesmerizing Fovant Badges and Chiselbury Camp Univallate Hillfort, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Fovant Down, Wiltshire. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2015, this image showcases the remarkable earthwork and intricate hill figure that have become iconic symbols of this historic site. The Fovant Badges are a collection of regimental badges carved into the chalk hills during World War I by soldiers stationed nearby. These badges pay tribute to various military units and serve as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and dedication. The meticulous detail captured in this photograph allows viewers to appreciate the artistry behind these impressive carvings. Adjacent to the badges lies Chiselbury Camp Univallate Hillfort, an ancient fortification dating back thousands of years. This hillfort's strategic location atop Fovant Down offers breathtaking panoramic views while providing insight into our ancestors' defensive strategies. Damian Grady's expert use of aerial photography highlights not only the grandeur but also the delicate balance between nature and human intervention at this site. The contrasting textures created by lush greenery against white chalk create a visually striking composition that is both harmonious and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Historic England, we are transported through time, immersing ourselves in history while appreciating its enduring beauty.
