1900s Carboniferous Limestone Limestone Gorge Road Rural Landscape Sightseeing Mendip Hills
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque view of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The rugged beauty of this rural landscape is evident as we gaze upon the limestone gorge and towering cliffs that define this iconic landmark. At first glance, our eyes are drawn towards a man on horseback gracefully navigating the winding road through the gorge. His presence adds a touch of nostalgia and reminds us of simpler times when horses were a common mode of transportation. Two walkers can also be seen at a bend in the road, leisurely exploring their surroundings and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Cheddar Gorge itself is an awe-inspiring sight to behold, with its dramatic rock formations carved over millions of years by nature's forces. This carboniferous limestone wonder stands tall amidst the Mendip Hills, offering visitors an unforgettable experience steeped in history and natural beauty. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this timeless scene, transporting us back to an era where sightseeing was done at a slower pace – on foot or horseback. As we admire this remarkable photograph print from Historic England, we cannot help but feel grateful for those who have preserved such treasures for future generations to enjoy.
