EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Saxton Castle, a remarkable motte and bailey castle nestled in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside. Dating back to medieval times, this enchanting site showcases not only the imposing earthwork remains of the original fortification but also a later medieval manor house and an intricate field system that includes a trackway and fishpond. The image reveals the impressive scale of Saxton Castle's motte, a raised mound that once held great strategic importance. Standing proudly against the backdrop of lush green fields, it is impossible not to be awestruck by its commanding presence. The surrounding bailey area can also be seen clearly, providing insight into how this fortified complex would have functioned as both a defensive stronghold and residential space. As we explore further into this visual narrative captured by Dave MacLeod, our eyes are drawn towards an intriguing pond situated within the castle grounds. This serene body of water adds another layer of intrigue to Saxton Castle's story - perhaps once used for practical purposes or even as an ornamental feature. Through this stunning print from Historic England, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the rich history and architectural prowess embodied by Saxton Castle. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's past and encourages us to appreciate and protect these invaluable heritage sites for generations to come.
