More about this scene
This view was taken from the churchyard of ruined St Andrew's Church below the sycamore trees of Pennsylvania Castle grounds. An ivy-clad, romantic ruin on a precipice above Church Ope Cove, Rufus Castle is also known as Bow and Arrow Castle. It stands on the site of a building constructed in the reign of William II - nicknamed Rufus - who reigned from 1087 to 1100. The rebuilding was carried out by Richard, Duke of York, between 1432 and 1460.
