EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by the talented Damian Grady, showcases the remarkable Oldbury Castle in all its ancient glory. Located in Wiltshire, this bivallate Iron Age hillfort stands as a testament to the rich history and ingenuity of our ancestors. The intricate earthwork surrounding the castle is a visual marvel, displaying the skill and craftsmanship of those who constructed it centuries ago. As we gaze upon this breathtaking image, our eyes are drawn not only to Oldbury Castle but also to two other prominent landmarks that grace the landscape. In the distance, we catch sight of the iconic Cherhill White Horse etched onto the rolling hillsides. This chalk figure has stood proudly for generations, symbolizing both local pride and a connection to England's past. Additionally, our attention is captivated by another striking monument known as Lansdowne Monument. Its towering presence adds an air of grandeur to an already picturesque scene. Through this photograph taken in 2018 by Damian Grady on behalf of Historic England, we are transported back in time while simultaneously appreciating these historic sites from a modern perspective. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and societal changes, there remains an enduring fascination with preserving and celebrating our heritage.
