Berwick upon Tweed

[Matt J]

not sure if the matching casemate at the opposite end would have been vulnerable to this fire?

probably meant for firing grape shot

The tide's in in the penultimate shot. I believe Berwick is still on the Anglo-Scottish border.

[DanJ]

As DP said the tide was in, the shot is looking along the wall as it runs parallel with the river, towards the sea.

Berwick itself is a couple of miles inside England although its football team plays in a Scottish league.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

The reason that Berwick declared war on Russia, it could never tell which side of the border it's on - unfortunate or English  .

Do you by any chance work for the Northumberland Tourist Board? 

I can wholeheartedly and from first hand experience confirm DanJ's statements

No, but all my family come from there unfortunately by a cruel twist of fate I was born in Northumberland but in Watford 

Here's a shot of Dunstanborough Castle.

wow such a beauty!

Dunstanburgh also makes for a great walk.

It certainly does, Craster up to Seahouses or Bamborough (or the other way round) is one of my favourite walks.  Here's Dunstanburgh from the Crater side.

I see some really weird 'shapes' in the silhouette shot !
There's a dobey dog, with a really long neck....Sam, the eagle....And 3 kings with crowns having a chin-wag.

(I need some of Nobby's pills !)

Cheers - Mr C Ingthings.

If you want a truly spectacular fortress try Ehrenbreitstein, just across the Rhine from Coblenz. It only has fortifications on one side - the other is a sheer drop of a hundred feet or so.

So I go to interesting, out of the way places, photograph them as well as I'm able, open a photobucket account, upload the photos, start a new thread, link the pictures to the Pendraken Forum hoping to provide some measure of interest and the response is....
