EDITORS COMMENTS

"From ancient hill forts to majestic castles, fortifications stand as testaments of strength and history. The ramparts of the prehistoric hill fort on Hambledon Hill above the Blackmore Vale whisper tales of a time long gone. In Lucca, Italy, the fortified walls encircle the city like a protective embrace, preserving its medieval charm. In Northumberland, England, Embleton Bay Beach offers a breathtaking view of Dunstanburgh Castle's imposing ruins. The Youghal Clock Gate in Ireland stands tall with its fortified structure, reminding us of bygone eras. Traveling to Cornwall takes us to Polruan and Lanteglos by Fowey where an enchanting fortification from 1904 still captivates visitors with its timeless beauty. Hedingham Castle in Essex transports us back to 1832 through John Carr Armytage's intricate engraving. During World War II, Direction Finding Tower MP2 in La Corbiere served as a vital stronghold against enemy forces. Meanwhile, Malcesine on Lake Garda showcases Italy's architectural prowess with its formidable fortress overlooking serene waters. Clitheroe Castle perched atop a limestone outcrop paints an awe-inspiring picture of motte and bailey castle design in Lancashire. Turning back time once more brings us to the Siege of Lathom House during the First English Civil War in 1644—a testament to resilience amidst chaos. Finally, Sinop in Turkey and Strasbourg in France bear witness to fortifications that have witnessed countless stories unfold throughout centuries. "
