The wonderful ruin of the early Norman gatehouse entrance to Rougemont Castle in Exeter, Devon. Dating from around 1068 the gatehouse also shows traces of Anglo-Saxon architecture (pointed upper windows) The gatehouse was built into the city's existing Roman Walls following Exeter's rebellion against William The Conqueror. It was also besieged by King Stephen in 1136, mentioned by William Shakespeare in Richard III and was where the last three witches to be executed in England were tried and sentenced here in the 1680s.

Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...
