Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster, Northumberland
© David Swann (view gallery)
Dunstanburgh Castle stands on a headland on the coast of Northumberland between the villages of Craster and Embleton. The headland is part of a geological formation known as the Great Whin Sill. Construction of the castle began in 1313 by Earl Thomas of Lancaster and later improved by John of Gaunt. The structure was damaged during the Wars of the Roses and fell into decay. It was painted by Turner on many occasions.

Bamburgh Castle.

This shot was taken in a dash to get to the beach before the sunset disappeared. I left my wife in the car and dashed down to the beach from the carpark with my camera and tripod. To my amazement there were about a dozen others with cameras and tripods all set-up to capture this moment! I had to jostle between them to get my tripod set-up also, and hoped I got the shot. This was a film camera so I could not see the result, as you can now with digital instantly! Bit too easy now!! However I still think if I ever get to Bamburgh again I could take a much better shot?

Lindisfarne, Holy Island.
© James Carter (view gallery)
I composed this picture of Lindisfarne Castle with most of this bright coloured lichen, which covered the rock. It was the orange colour that grabbed my attention. Perhaps I over composed it? This was scanned from a photo which was taken about 12yrs ago. Would like to go there again sometime in the future?

Warkworth, Northumberland
© David Swann (view gallery)
St.Lawrence Church overlooks the River Coquet in the village of Warkworth. The church is built of honey-coloured stone which is most attractive when lit by the afternoon sun. It is the largest and most complete Norman church to have survived in Northumberland. An earlier wooden structure on the site founded in 737 is believed to have fallen victim to Viking raids. The place may look peaceful now but this has not always been the case; on Saturday, 13th July,1174, a Scottish army led by Duncan, Earl of Fife, attacked and destroyed the village, and massacred 300 villagers who had gathered in the church for protection.
