Richmond Castle

Two views of this impressive ruined castle here. Both taken from the inner central space that would have been a hive of activity in the day.

“Towering above the river Swale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Richmond Castle has been an imposing sight since its foundation in the 1070s. The castle is one of the finest and most complete 11th-century fortresses in the country.” (English Heritage.org)

Yes it is a fine castle and it gave us another chance to use our English Heritage membership. You will have to get up there again Gordon.

An interesting and impressive looking castle Herb, especially the keep and battlements with the English Heritage flag on top. The whole place looks very well kept.

I like the wider image in the PiP as well. Both images are very well captured.

Thanks for sharing the link too. The castle has a fascinating history!

A fine set of views. I especially like the big arc that sweeps the eyes into the main photo. Good detail there, too.

Hi John. Yes a shot unique to England here with this castle. Great that you caught my attempt at getting a better P.O.V with the curve leading to the tower.
