EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Clifford Castle, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Herefordshire. The remnants of this medieval motte and bailey castle stand as a testament to its rich history, believed to have been constructed between 1067 and 1070. The image showcases the remarkable earthwork that forms the foundation of this ancient stronghold, with its imposing motte rising majestically from the surrounding terrain. The stone fortifications added in the 13th century add an intriguing layer of architectural complexity to this historical site. As we gaze upon this print by Damian Grady, we are transported back in time, imagining knights and nobles traversing through its gates and exploring its grand halls. The shell keep stands tall amidst the ruins, evoking a sense of awe at what once was. The photographer's skillful use of aerial perspective allows us to appreciate not only the scale but also the strategic location chosen for Clifford Castle. Perched on a hilltop overlooking rolling hills and meandering rivers, it is easy to understand why such a position would be coveted during medieval times. In capturing this moment frozen in time, Damian Grady invites us to reflect on our shared heritage and marvel at how these ancient structures continue to inspire wonder even today.
