The ruins of Castle Acre Priory in Norfolk. It was a Cluniac priory originally founded in 1089. It’s on an impressive scale. The prior’s lodgings are one of the few parts still mostly complete. #CastleAcrePriory #MedievalHistory #Cluniac #Norfolk #EnglishHeritage
The last evening of my trip to Norfolk was another cloudy sunset at Hunstanton. No clear view, but some nice colours #Sunset #Hunstanton #Norfolk #Coast #Seascape
Castle Acre, a village in Norfolk named after the now ruined Norman castle. It was extended through the medieval period and was host to kings. Historic England describes the huge earthworks to be among the finest surviving in England #CastleAcre #Norfolk #NormanCastle #EnglishHeritage #Medieval
The boat house at Old Thornham Harbour, Norfolk is a popular subject for photographers with an infinite combination of sky and tidal waters. On this trip it was lovely to see the pink sea lavender in bloom in the blazing summer sun #ThornhamHarbour #Boathouse #NorfolkCoast #Summer #SeaLavender
On an evening where there was too cloudy to get a Hunstanton sunset there was at least some interesting cloud shapes behind the lighthouse #OldHunstantonLighthouse #Clouds #Evening #NorfolkCoast #Lighthouse
The wreck of the steam trawler Sheraton. Launched in 1907, wrecked on Hunstanton beach in 1947, it was a boom defense vessel between 1915 and 1918, a gunned patrol boat in WWII. It was later used for target practice before being wrecked #Sheraton #HunstatonBeach #Shipwreck #NorfolkCoast #Beach
A walk along Old Hunstanton beach, with the striking colours of the cliffs, created by Cretaceous layers of sandstone and red and white chalk #OldHunstanton #RedRock #NorfolkCoast #Cretaceous #Beach

The village of Lacock is a beautiful collection of historic buildings, it’s been used for filming many productions including: Pride and Prejudice, the Harry Potter films, Cranford, Wolf Hall and Downton Abbey #Lacock #HistoricVillage #FilmingLocation #DowntonAbbey #HarryPotter @nationaltrust
At one time owned by William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer of photography. The lattice window is the subject of the earliest known surviving negative. Also the cloisters were used for filming Hogwarts scenes #LacockAbbey #PhotographicHistory #FoxTalbot #LatticeWindow #HarryPotter @nationaltrust
The World’s largest megalithic stone circle as part of three stone circles. The really amazing thing about Avebury is the juxtaposition of the standing stones with village buildings #Avebury #StoneCircle #NeolithicHenge #WorldHeritageSite #Wiltshire @nationaltrust
Avebury Manor and gardens, Wiltshire. With amazing hand painted wallpaper from China in the dining room #AveburyManor #NationalTrust #Wiltshire #CountryHouse

My final adventure for the bank holiday weekend was a visit to Flamborough Head. Def felt a bit dizzy peering down from the crumbling cliff tops, but amazing views #FlamboroughHead #SeaCliffs #Seals #Kittiwakes #SeaStack
Bank holiday Monday’s first visit was Thornwick Bay on the Yorkshire coast. Which got very busy with sunbathers (inc on top of the pillbox!) and paddle boarders #ThornwickBay #Puffin #ClearBlueSea #Pillbox #SunnyBankHoliday
Our visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs on Sunday wasn’t just about seabirds #CommonWhitethroat #GreatCrestedNewt #TreeSparrows (dust bathing) #PuffinsAndGuillemots #RSPBBemptonCliffs
A visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs for the Saturday heatwave #BemptonCliffs #Kittiwake #Gannet #Guillemot #Seabirds
The area around the Blackrock cottage on Rannoch Moor had some interesting pool formations. Made by peat extraction maybe? #DronePhotography #Glencoe #RannochMoor #UplandLandscape #Pools
Last bit of Glencoe landscape photography on my way out on Saturday. Various views of Buachaille Etive Mòr from different points along the River Etive #BuachailleEtiveMor #RiverEtive #LandscapePhotography #Glencoe #Highlands
