Aerial view of Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire – home of the Dukes of Rutland for over 1,000 years. The current castle, completed in the 1830s, stands on the site of three earlier fortresses.
Aerial image: The Royal Liver Building, one of the most recognisable landmarks in Liverpool and part of the city’s iconic UNESCO World Heritage waterfront. The building, completed in 1911, was designed by architect Walter Aubrey Thomas and constructed as the headquarters of the Royal Liver Assurance Company.
Standing 98 metres (322 ft) tall, it was one of the first buildings in the world to be constructed using reinforced concrete, and for a time it was the tallest building in Europe. Its twin clock towers dominate the skyline, each topped by a mythical Liver Bird, the symbol of the city. According to local legend, one bird looks out to sea to protect the sailors, while the other watches over the city.
The Royal Liver Building forms part of Liverpool’s “Three Graces” at the Pier Head, alongside the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building, reflecting the city’s maritime heritage and Edwardian grandeur. Today, it remains a powerful symbol of Liverpool and is used as office space and an events venue, with tours offering access to the clock towers and panoramic views across the River Mersey.
Scroby Sands aerial view - the long-shifting sandbank off the Norfolk coast, with the offshore wind farm now established on it. Over centuries these sands have caused many wrecks and claimed ships — SS Hopelyn (1922), SS Eastward (1918), Sea Queen (1870) and more — making it a notorious hazard in coastal navigation.
The Scroby Sands Wind Farm, commissioned in March 2004, was built by Powergen Renewables Offshore (then a division of E.ON UK). Today it is wholly owned and operated by RWE Renewables UK Limited.
Some technical & operational facts:
The farm has a nameplate capacity of 60 MW, sufficient to power tens of thousands of homes.
It consists of 30 wind turbines, each rated at 2 MW.
The turbines (rotors, nacelles etc.) were designed and manufactured by Vestas, a Danish company.
The foundations are hollow steel piles (about 4 m in diameter), driven up to 30 m into the seabed, to ensure stability on the shifting sands.
Over time, the sandbank has moved, causing parts of the seabed to rise and isolate some turbines from direct vessel access. RWE and partners have addressed this by developing a world-first amphibious crew transfer vessel (CRC Walrus) that can drive on sand and reach stranded turbines.
In August 2023 one turbine at Scroby Sands caught fire. Personnel were safely evacuated, and the incident is subject to investigation.

Looking west from Wells-next-the-Sea towards Holkham beach – sweeping sands, pinewoods & tidal creeks. Part of the Holkham Estate & Norfolk Coast AONB.
The item in the middle at the very bottom of the picture is part of a floating jetty. Probably broke lose in a storm/flood and has been sweeped out but now lodged on a bank and can't be towed back to the harbour.

Aerial view of The Minster Church of St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Founded by Herbert de Losinga, the first Bishop of Norwich, in 1101 and completed in 1119, St Nicholas is England’s largest parish church. Built to serve the growing medieval town and its herring industry, the church originally stood within a walled graveyard, part of which remains visible in the image.
Severely damaged during bombing raids in the Second World War, the Minster was almost completely rebuilt in the 1950s under architect Stephen Dykes Bower. Its copper-clad roof—now a defining feature of the Great Yarmouth skyline—was added during the post-war restoration. The church was granted Minster status in 2011.
Visible in the image are the surviving sections of the medieval town wall in the foreground and the compact urban grid of central Great Yarmouth beyond.

This aerial view shows Sotterley Hall, a Grade I listed country house set within historic parkland in north-east Suffolk, a few miles inland from the coast at Southwold and Beccles. The present house is an elegant early-18th-century brick mansion, remodelled in the Palladian style c.1740, though parts of the estate go back much further.
The Hall has been associated with the Barne family since the 18th century, when Miles Barne (1718–1780), a wealthy London merchant and MP, purchased Sotterley in 1744. The family greatly enlarged and remodelled the house and laid out the surrounding parkland in the mid-18th century, creating the designed landscape we see today. The park includes sweeping lawns, lakes, and avenues of trees, and is a fine example of the English landscape style.
The wider Sotterley Park is registered as a Grade II listed historic landscape on the Register of Parks and Gardens. It retains medieval origins, with evidence of a former deer park, as well as later additions by the Barnes. Within its bounds are several listed buildings, ancient woodland, and a number of fine veteran oaks and sweet chestnuts, some hundreds of years old.
The estate also contains the parish church of St Margaret’s, a beautiful medieval church with a distinctive round tower, standing within the park close to the Hall – an unusual and evocative survival of the medieval manorial landscape.
Today, Sotterley remains a private estate, but its parkland and architecture continue to illustrate the long history of Suffolk’s landed families and the layered development of English country house landscapes from medieval to Georgian times.

Scroby Sands aerial view -
Close-up of the jack-up barge WaveWalker 1 at Scroby Sands, Norfolk, where crews are dismantling the fire-damaged turbine.
WaveWalker 1 is a unique “walking” jack-up platform, jointly owned and operated by WaveWalker BV (a partnership between Fugro and Van Oord). Unlike conventional four-legged rigs, it has eight legs and can move, or “walk,” across the seabed while elevated — an innovation that makes it ideal for the shifting sands, tidal shallows, and intertidal zones off the Norfolk coast.
Key facts:
Built for nearshore, intertidal and shallow-water projects where floating vessels struggle.
Hull size: approx. 32 m × 32 m, with leg length up to 40 m.
Payload capacity up to 850 tonnes.
Equipped with heavy cranes for turbine and foundation work.
Can operate in standard four-leg jack-up mode or in full walking mode, moving around 40 m per hour depending on seabed conditions.
WaveWalker 1 has been deployed across Europe for offshore wind construction, cable installation, UXO clearance, and marine civil engineering. Its ability to remain stable while repositioning on shifting seabeds makes it particularly suited to the dynamic environment of Scroby Sands — a sandbank infamous for shipwrecks before it became the site of one of the UK’s first offshore wind farms.

Aerial view of Carrow Road, home of Norwich City Football Club, lit up for an evening match and standing out brightly against the surrounding city. The stadium, originally opened in 1935 after the club moved from The Nest, has grown and modernised into the landmark seen here, with a capacity of over 27,000. Each of its four stands — the Barclay, the River End (Geoffrey Watling City Stand), the Jarrold Stand (South Stand), and the Norwich & Peterborough Stand (now known as the Regency Security Stand) — can be seen illuminated in this view.
In the foreground is part of the historic Colman’s mustard works, a site once central to Norwich’s industrial identity. Some of the large factory buildings and warehouses remain prominent, though mustard production itself has since moved away from the city.
To the left, the River Wensum curves through Norwich, its lights reflecting on the water, while the modern residential developments of Riverside cluster close to the stadium. The railway line is visible running parallel to the ground, with Norwich railway station just beyond the floodlit stands, highlighting how Carrow Road is tightly woven into the fabric of the city.
This aerial perspective captures Norwich as a blend of history and modern life: a city of industry, football, and riverside living, with Carrow Road shining as the beating heart of the Canaries’ loyal support.
Orford Castle aerial view - Suffolk
Built by Henry II between 1165–1173, Orford Castle was designed to assert royal power in East Anglia, countering the influence of the Bigod family. Its distinctive polygonal keep, with three clasping towers, remains one of the most complete and unusual keeps in England. Once a royal stronghold, it later passed to the Uffords and other noble families, and by the 16th century much of the outer bailey had been dismantled.
The keep was preserved as a landmark for shipping, restored in the 19th century, and gifted to the Orford Town Trust in 1928. It came under state care in 1962 and is now managed by English Heritage.
Between 2022 and 2023 a £1 million conservation project was carried out after more than a decade of research. The castle’s walls, built largely from fragile local mudstone (septaria), had been eroding badly. To halt further decay, specialists applied a protective lime render across more than 400 m² of wall surface, using some 24 tonnes of material. Additional repairs included work to the roof, drainage, stone dressings and timber windows.
The project, completed in late 2022, has stabilised the structure and given the castle renewed protection against the coastal climate
Visitors can explore from basement to roof, with displays from the Orford Museum Trust inside. Famous locally is the legend of the “Wild Man of Orford,” a mysterious hairy figure said to have been captured here in the 12th century.
