this site ... http://www.cyber-heritage.co.uk/rame/

has many old (some aerial) pictures of the area ... very interesting

Rame Head itself is an amazing & beautiful place (many pictures of it will no doubt appear on this blog!); 17/9/05 16:16
MrC said...: ... & i must add that this picture is definately not a view most people would ever see!! ... ... i had to clamber onto some tall sharp rocks & balance precariously ... dodgy & dangerous stuff, but was worth it for the right angle!; 17/9/05 16:20
