One of the things that gets me exploring Britain and Ireland is the prospect of bringing away some pleasing photos of my own making with me. Not only has that fostered the growth of an interest in hillwalking and cycling but it also has driven me to further the photography itself. All that has created the library of images from which the collections that you find here have been drawn.

Caernarfon Castle, Gwynedd, Wales

Caernarfon Castle is one of Wales' quintessential landmarks and dates from the thirteenth century, like the walls surrounding the old part of the town. The castle was one of those built by King Edward I but fortifications have stood here for longer than that though and the Romans had a fort nearby when they held sway over the area. The 1969 investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales brought the antiquity not only to national attention but also onto television too.
