With meticulous attention to detail, Simon's graphic portrayal transports us to a time when this medieval fortress stood as an impregnable symbol of defence.
Perched on a small island at the entrance of Morecambe Bay, Piel Castle emerges majestically amidst its natural surroundings.

As we delve deeper into this artwork, our eyes are drawn towards intricate architectural features that speak volumes about the castle's defensive capabilities. Battlements adorned with crenellations offer vantage points for archers and soldiers alike.
