Bathed in the mesmerising glow of a fiery sunset, the majestic ruins of Finchale Priory rise as dramatic silhouettes against a sky ablaze with purple, pink, and orange hues. Located on the banks of the River Wear near Durham, Finchale Priory was founded in the 12th century as a Benedictine outpost and retreat. The skeletal stone arches and towering remains tell a story of devotion, solitude, and medieval craftsmanship, their crumbling forms stark and beautiful beneath the evening sky.
