The image captures a general view of Morthams Tower and Inner Ward from the bridge that spans across the majestic River Tees. The photograph offers a glimpse into the castle's grandeur and architectural brilliance. The imposing structure dominates the landscape, evoking a sense of awe and wonderment. Its sturdy stone walls bear witness to centuries of stories and events that have unfolded within its confines. From this northern perspective, one can appreciate the strategic location chosen for Barnard Castle. Perched high above the river valley, it provided an advantageous vantage point for defense during turbulent times. Alun Bull's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in both past and present simultaneously. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we are transported back in time to an era when castles were not just symbols of power but also centers of community life.
