EDITORS COMMENTS
From a bird's eye view of Yarmouth Castle on the Isle of Wight comes this stunning drone photograph. Captured by photographer Steven Baker for Historic England, DP463604 offers an unparalleled perspective on this Tudor-era stronghold. Perched atop its rocky outcrop, the castle appears as a sturdy sentinel guarding the entrance to Yarmouth Harbour. The surrounding waters are dotted with boats and vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the town's quaint Quay Street stretches along the shoreline below. As we gaze down upon this picturesque scene, it's easy to imagine life in 16th-century England when Yarmouth Castle was at its peak as a defensive stronghold against French attacks. The castle's imposing walls and towers would have been an intimidating sight for any invaders attempting to breach the harbour. Today, DP463604 serves not only as a testament to this historic fortification but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. With thanks to Steven Baker and Historic England for capturing this breathtaking aerial view.
