EDITORS COMMENTS
Standing sentinel over Quay Street in Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight is this majestic Tudor fortress - Yarmouth Castle. From a unique aerial perspective, photographer Steven Baker captures the castle's imposing presence and intricate details with stunning clarity. As seen here, Yarmouth Castle rises from its coastal perch like a mighty sentinel, guarding the entrance to Quay Street. The drone's bird's-eye view offers an unparalleled glimpse into this 16th-century stronghold's defences. Note how the castle walls seem to stretch out in every direction, forming a formidable barrier against any would-be invaders. Built by Henry VIII in 1539 as part of his coastal defence network, Yarmouth Castle was designed to protect England from French and Spanish attacks. Its sturdy Tudor architecture features thick stone walls, bastion towers, and an imposing gatehouse - all testament to the castle's role as a vital bulwark against foreign threats. Today, this historic fortress remains one of the Isle of Wight's most cherished landmarks, its rich history waiting to be explored by visitors from far and wide. As seen in this print, Yarmouth Castle stands tall and proud - a testament to England's storied past.
