Wray Castle

This splendid castle is actually a Victorian neo-gothic building, built in 1840 for a retired Liverpudlian surgeon, James Dawson. This was purchased for the National Trust in 1926 and was made famous by the fact that Beatrix Potter spent a summer holiday there when she was 16 in 1882. Set in beautiful grounds on the high shores of Lake Windermere.

Always difficult in the short time we are at these places to know if there is a better place to shoot from Jeff. In the circumstances, this looks good to me too.

Thanks for this one Peter. You will be using similar glass and camera technology now too. Coupled with your photographic eye, I always expect great things from you too.
Cheers, Herb
