A magnificent view of Brancepeth Castle and environs on a fine, spring morning (Saturday), looking almost due west, beyond the former Brancepeth Deer Park, towards the Military Camp set up during the Second World War on the south and west sides of the village. A freight train is visible in the far distance, heading south-west towards Willington and Bishop Auckland, having just passed through Brancepeth Station, which is off the photograph, to the top right.
