Ludworth Tower, is one of the best-known Pele towers in County Durham. Only a few fragments of this building now survive, as most of it collapsed in 1890 The building was once surrounded by a bank and a ditch, but they are no longer visible. Around the tower are various banks covering fallen walls and foundations.

Shot Rock ...
by AlanHowe

Shot Rock is located on the Easington Colliery beach. A unusual sea arch sitting in the sea looking a bit fragile now. I noticed a few cracks on the arch looking like a big storm could bring the arch down any time .I arrived at high tide and had checked the weather which was forecast for showers so I knew there was going to be some drama in the sky. As always when Im shooting these seascapes a welly full of seawater .Thanks for viewing every one.
