Dunstanburgh Castle

Went to the North Sea coast on one of the prettiest beaches in England and saw Dunstanburgh Castle (history below). The W_______s said that they had never seen it more beautiful than on our trip. The sun was shining and comparatively little wind. The sea was very, very cold for me. It really defied my ability to photograph it...

 Approaching the castle from the sea and testing my telephoto and wide lenses

 A pillbox on the shoreline erected against the Nazis...

 Turf on top so that it could be seen from the air.

 Anti-tank defenses in case of Nazi invasion. Mrs. W____ insisted that I leave the plastic shovel and socks in the picture. It tells the story does it not?

Looking out the pillbox

Crossbow window

circular stair

From on top

Panorama from the very top

Remains of another stair on the far tower

The well below

Double windows may infer a chapel at one point.

Drop outlets over the gate...

Portcullis slit

The inner castle through a window...

Plants growing out of the well

Little homes which Mr. W____ said were the epitomy of England.
