"Winter Sunset at Riber Castle"
The
ruined castle dominates the skyline to the south of Matlock. For many years the
grounds of the castle served as a wildlife zoo specializing in the Lynx. In 2001
the zoo closed and the site was bought by a property developer. This winter view
of the castle, painted in 2002, may well become a collector's item! This
is one of three views of Matlock and the surrounding area - the others are The
Temple Hotel and Cromford Village. |
