Lindisfarne Castle - Holy Island, Northumberland by David Lewins LRPS
A framed view of Lindisfarne Castle taken from the old Fort on the Heugh, Holy Island.
The remains of the Fort on the Heugh, a 17th century stone fort. It was built in 1671 to house guns, which helped protected the small harbour known as The Ouse. It stands on the southern edge of Holy Island. It has a five-sided enclosure containing a square redoubt with a gun platform. The remains of several turrets can be seen on the enclosure wall. The building of the fort was carried out by Major Daniel Collingwood, the captain of Holy Island. A plan from 1683 shows that the redoubt and the turrets had steep roofs. By the year 1742 the site was already falling into ruins. This is now a Scheduled Monument protected by law.

Looks a bit like my Castle View image David :-) Very nicely framed.
Only mine wasn’t manipulated, that is actually how it was taken with fill flash for the foreground. :-)) Thanks for the comment Peter.
