This thread is all about "Rural Photos" of the North East and Cumbria. Over on the Urban Showcase photographs forum of SkyscraperCity, there is a fairly new thread with some excellent rural photos (and urban ones) from Cumbria. The thread was created by Forum Member the_sage, has a simple one-word title, and can be found at this link . . . Carlisle https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showth...light=carlisle |

Salmon Leaping
First time I had seen salmon leaping - in person that is, have watched it on TV in the past but never in person. Not the easiest things to photograph as they are so fast - some of my attempts at Hexham Bridge, 10th October 2014:

Codgers Fort - Rothley
Codgers Fort is a Folly and not a Castle as the rather dramatic view from the nearby B6342 road would suggest.
On the Rothley Estate, Codgers Fort was built in 1769 to a design by Thomas Wright on behalf of the then Lord on the Manor, Sir Walter Calverley Blackett. It sits on a craggy outcrop with commanding views over the nearby countryside. Apparently the Folly is now under the ownership of Elizabeth and John Walton but is accessible for the public to take a look around. The National Trust holds guardianship of the Folly. Parking is a problem if anyone intends to go and see the Fort in person. A sign on an access gate warns on a bull in the field but no evidence of such a creature could be seen when I visited in April 2004. Grade II Listed, this is the protection text courtesy of the British Listed Buildings web site @ http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co...-fort-rothley- Description: Codger Fort Grade: II Date Listed: 21 October 1953 English Heritage Building ID: 236299 OS Grid Reference: NZ0445690113 OS Grid Coordinates: 404456, 590113 Latitude/Longitude: 55.2053, -1.9315 Location: B6342, Rothley, Northumberland NE61 4JY Locality: Rothley County: Northumberland Country: England Postcode: NE61 4JY ROTHLEY B 6342 NZ 09 SW (East side) 12/58 Codger Fort (formerly listed as 21.10.53 Cadger's Fort or Cadger Castle) II Folly c.1770 by Thomas Wright for Sir Walter Blackett. Large blocks of roughly- dressed stone. A triangular bastion c.30 yards long with a square-plan projection at the apex. The wall is c.8 ft. high, with 16 gun loops. The front of the square projection has 3 crenellations. The wall ends in 2 turrets c.6 ft. square with doorways on inner returns, rough projecting cornices and rough, stone pyramidal roofs. They are c.15 ft. high. The fort stands on cliffs in a dramatic position and was formerly thought to be a defence of c.1746 against possible Jacobite invasion. However, a design of 1769 signed by Thomas Wright of Durham, and held at Wallington seems to disprove this. J. Macaulay: The Gothick Revival 1745-1845: 1975 BLACKIE, LONDON AND GLASGOW.

A few photos of Lindisfarne, the Holy Island.
I don't think the word Lindisfarne gets used nearly enough. What a magical place. http://northumbrianimages.blogspot.c...umberland.html |
