Carrmire Gate Tower

Tower at the Carrmire Gate, Castle Howard

Friday 4th December 2015

Not until mid afternoon did we get out today and it was across to Malton and towards Castle Howard. As we reached the Carrmire Gate on the approach to Castle Howard the sun was shining on the tower on the east side of the gate. I managed to park the car and walk down the verge to take a photograph. The castellated walls and towers were never built as defensive structures, they were to make an impressive approach to the great Castle Howard. The tower is probably only about thirty metres high. I decided on black and white to give it a more timeless feel.
