EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse of History: Children Discovering the Wonders of Bickleigh Castle, Devon, in the 1980s" Bickleigh Castle in Devon, a captivating fortified manor house nestled on the banks of the River Exe, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of the West Country. In this evocative photograph taken circa 1980s, two children, dressed in casual attire of the era, are seen peering intently into the crystal-clear water, their curiosity piqued by the mysteries that lie beneath. The medieval keep of Bickleigh Castle, a striking architectural masterpiece, dominates the left side of the image. Its grand stone walls, weathered by time, stand tall against the backdrop of lush, green gardens and manicured lawns. The castle's gardens, adorned with vibrant shrubs, bushes, and an array of colorful lilies and urns, add to the idyllic scene. A stone bridge, arched gracefully over the river, connects the castle to the mainland. The tranquil water, dotted with reflections of the castle and surrounding greenery, creates a serene atmosphere. The children's fascination with the water, the castle, and the natural beauty around them is palpable, as they immerse themselves in the history and charm of this remarkable place. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of Bickleigh Castle and the sense of wonder and discovery that it inspires, even for the youngest of visitors. The 1980s setting adds an element of nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time and inviting us to appreciate the timeless beauty of this historic treasure.
