Beacon, Warton Crag, near Carnforth, Lancashire, UK, 21 October, 2007
Warton Crag is an isolated hill visible from most of the Morecambe Bay region yet within twenty minutes walk of Warton village. These characteristics mean it has been part of a nationwide network of beacon fires since at least the 13th Century. I understand it's still in use, celebrating such events as the turn of the millennium. |
