A few shots taken by a drone of Pevensey Castle:
This is a shot taken by a drone of Pevensey Castle located near the south east coast of England. It's estimated to have been built around 290AD so it is about 1700 years old!
There is plenty of history behind this castle which has defend the surrounding flat land over many different battles. I believe it was originally built by the Romans and has never been successfully raided. However, according to plaques on site, the only way the defences have been broken in the past were due to the occupants being starved out.
The castle is fairly close to Hastings and was an important fortification during the 'Battle of Hastings' (French invasion of 1066... a date most people in the UK would have probably heard of).
The castle was even used during World War 2 when gun fortifications were installed to defend against the threat of Germans should they ever have made it across the sea.
As always, I am open to feedback and I am always looking for new places/ideas to venture out with the done. Photos were taken by myself about a week ago.
Thanks!!
