Photographs from the English Heritage castles and abbeys I know best, with credit to the people who look after them.
Why this page
Some of my favourite places to photograph in Shropshire are looked after by English Heritage. I wanted to give them credit where it is due, so every picture here names the site and the Trust, and each one links to the official visitor page. If you enjoy the pictures, the best thing you can do is go and see the places yourself.
