#star #fort
since it is a tourist attraction, never been there although it is close by
The inside of the fort covers 8 acres. The amount of stone is staggering, would build a fair size pyramid.
The fort was built between 1677 and 1682 . Last inhabitants: squatting hippies in the 70s.
Smaller James Fort on the other side of the bay is much more fun to explore and open to anyone at any time
In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.
Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.
Looking south from the summit, Crickhowell can be seen in the valley below.
On the descent, this is the profile of the western side of the mountain.
Also on the way down, here is a view looking west once more with the valley in the mid ground and hills in the background. Natural haze makes the distant mountains seem to fade away.
Here's a moment where the #Sun is shining through clouds giving an eerie effect in the fading light on a hill, while the foreground is silhouetted.

I dream of seeing such beauty...
Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16th-century Mughal monument known as the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5-km-long enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairytale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very beautiful mosques.
