EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view from Cromwell's Castle, located on the picturesque island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly. Standing at the upper level of this historic fortification, one is treated to a mesmerizing sight that stretches towards the southwest, encompassing the enchanting beauty of Bryher Island. The composition beautifully juxtaposes elements of nature and man-made structures. The crystal-clear turquoise waters gently caress the rugged coastline, creating a harmonious dance between land and sea. A lone boat gracefully glides through these pristine waters, adding a sense of tranquility to this idyllic scene. Cromwell's Castle itself stands as a testament to history and resilience. Built during Stuart times, it serves as both a reminder of past conflicts and an architectural marvel. Its imposing presence adds depth and character to this already stunning landscape. Photographer Mike Hesketh-Roberts has masterfully captured not just an image but also an atmosphere—a moment frozen in time where one can almost feel the salty breeze against their skin while taking in this panoramic vista. This print from Historic England invites viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless charm—an invitation to explore our rich heritage and appreciate nature's awe-inspiring wonders found within our own backyard.
