Just the picture – this stone arch on the Belsay Estate in Northumberland makes for a great framing of some lovely English countryside at this time of the year.
The arch and walls enclose the grounds of the 14th century Belsay Castle, once home to the Middleton family.
The nearby castle was abandoned in the early 19th century for a newly-built much grander residence of Belsay Hall.
The estate is now in the care of English Heritage.#england #northumberland #englishheritage #countryside #landscape #photography

The honey-coloured stone of Belsay Castle in the Northumbrian countryside pictured reflecting the light of this afternoon's early spring sunshine.
Association with the Middleton family who were first referenced in connection with Belsay in 1270.
Work on the castle, which began as a substantial pele tower with turrets and battlements, began in 1370, reflecting a time when the area of the English and Scottish borders were often in conflict.
When James VI of Scotland united the crowns of England and Scotland In the early 17th century the lands became more peaceful, less fortified extensions were added, as seen to the left of the original stronghold.
The Grade I listed building, located a few miles north of Ponteland, is now in the care of English Heritage.#england #northumberland #englishheritage #historic #spring #march2026 #photography

🆕 🧙♂️🏛️ 🇬🇧 New location feature: The Druid’s Temple, England.
Lost in the forests of #Yorkshire, a series of stone pillars form a circle.
This isn't an actual "Druid's Temple", it is an elaborate 19th-century folly.
However, the site is tied to unusual local folklore.

Old enough to remember paying a 1d each way in 'old money' to cross the footbridge over the River Wear at Finchale Priory.
As a youngster, cycling from Sunderland, on a summer's evening after school, it was worth the expense to save the time it would have taken for the much longer route via Newton Hall.
The ruins of the priory, once used as a retreat for the monks at Durham Cathedral, are cared for by English Heritage.
The location is well worth a visit with the Grade I listed ruins incorporating the hermitage of St Godric and some lovely riverside walks.
The good news is that the bridge is toll free and as is entrance to the grounds of the priory.#england #durham #englishheritage #historic #countryside #landscape #photography

On the #IsleOfWight, we stayed on the grounds of #OsbornHouse, which has self-catered accommodation available. The main house was once the residence on the #Island of #QueenVictoria but is now owned by #EnglishHeritage. The grounds are immaculately maintained and are open to the public but as resident guests, we were able to access the site outside normal visiting hours.
The grounds are very tranquil and ideals for strolls.
