EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the talented photographer Jim Hancock in November 1970, showcases the mesmerizing Cadbury Camp in Tickenham, Somerset. Nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, this Iron Age hillfort has long been steeped in myth and legend. Some believe it to be the fabled location of King Arthur's Camelot, although others argue that Cadbury Castle holds a stronger claim. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, our imagination is transported back through time to an era shrouded in mystery. The intricate earthworks and defensive ramparts of Cadbury Camp stand as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its ancient inhabitants. From above, we can appreciate the strategic positioning of this hillfort - a stronghold overlooking vast stretches of land. The allure of Arthurian legends adds an extra layer of enchantment to this already extraordinary site. It ignites our curiosity about whether these very grounds were witness to epic tales of knights and chivalry or if they simply inspired such stories. Jim Hancock's skillful photography captures not only the physical beauty but also the intangible aura surrounding Cadbury Camp. Through his lens, he invites us on a journey into history where fact merges with folklore. This print serves as a window into an ancient world that continues to captivate our collective imagination today.
