This print captures the majestic beauty of Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, the castle's impressive exterior is showcased from a south-western perspective. The focal point of this view is undoubtedly the striking clock tower, which proudly adorns the northerly end of the castle's curtain wall. Its intricate clock face adds an element of charm and history to this medieval fortress. As we trace our gaze along the wall towards the right, we catch a glimpse of the keep peeking out from behind it. This partial view hints at the grandeur and strength that lies within its walls. Further to the right, we are treated to a sight that truly transports us back in time –the Kings Hall.

Their presence serves as a reminder that life continues amidst these ancient stones, connecting past and present in an enchanting way. E M Booty has masterfully captured not only Bamburgh Castle but also its surrounding landscape, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and natural beauty simultaneously.
