Castle on the Hill-Ed Sheeran

OK! Ed's song is about the lovely Framlingham castle in Suffolk (famous for being very flat and my home county!!) but here is Corfe Castle in Dorset. Oliver Cromwell''s men took a few months to destroy Corfe Castle with gunpowder explosives because the lady of the manor supported the other side!

[Sally Ings]

Rather an imposing building. Must have been monstrous before it fell into ruin.

[JackieR]

@salza apparently took loads of gunpowder to destroy, they gave up on these sections, uninhabitable anyway!!

[Dyan Stevens]

Fantastic shot of it! One of the reasons I love the 365 is because of the history in places like this. I did find this youtube video that creates a 3D model of what it looked like before the destruction... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlDLmfTA698

@dyanstevens thanks for that Dyan

[Walks @ 7]

Impressive POV. Like how the castle still stands and that Ollie old boy doesn't.

Lovely capture against the beautiful blue sky.

[Larry L]

Nice image, great back-story! And thanks for entering the song-title challenge!

[JackieR]

@lsquared Larry, thank you!! I was so hoping there would be an active song challenge as I planned for his song with this castle before I went away!! Couldn't believe my luck with timing and the weather!!

[Annie D]
