If you have any disability or movement issues you should be aware of the worn uneven steps leading up to the entrance from the entrance from just past the tearoom entrance and throughout the building. Apart from that the visit is extremely worthwhile .My last visit was just prior to COVID so it may have changed.

I want some boring person to lay out the facts. Not this appeal to the lowest denomimator.

Beautiful castle, your commentary is always great!! Very interesting, Love your videos.

My name is Saxon

Fantastic place, we used to take our kids there. I can confirm it is haunted.

Nice trip down memory lane for me. I stayed there on a school trip in the 70s'.

Absolutely brilliant my favourite castle

This water business is nonsense. There are about a hundred priest holes still in existence (one probable one of which is at Samlesbury, up in the attics). Their entrances are all from upstairs rooms, well away from the building entrances and out of sight of servants. Hides were very closely guarded secrets, their locations known only to the master and mistress of the house and the priest(s). This fireplace is in the ground floor room into which the front door opens. Now, it was standard practice when houses were searched for the servants to be ordered to resist the entry of the searchers for as long as possible. This had two benefits: (1) it bought extra time for the priest to get hidden and and (2) it got the servants - who could be government spies, and might be bribed or threatened into revealing anything they knew - out of the way and meant they didn't see where the priest was hidden. Think a bit about the practicalities of this story. There are searchers banging on the door and you're a priest needing to hide. The last thing you want to do is to go downstairs - towards the searchers, into the room they will enter first when the door gives way, the room which is full of servants resisting their entry - and, having spent precious seconds soaking your clothes, draw attention to yourself by clambering through a burning fire in full view of everyone. Due to the fire, there can't be a camouflaged wooden door covering the back of the fireplace, so once the searchers do get in you're still perfectly visible to anyone who looks into it, and the clouds of steam you're now giving off are clearly advertising your location. Until either you dry out, (at which point you roast), or the fire dies down (and the searchers reach in and pull you out). Chimney stacks are common locations for hides, but if the space at the back of this fireplace was ever a hide then the fireplace brickwork was intact and the hide was entered from the floor above.

Noooooooooo, this haunts my dreams! I’ve been here before in my dreams! Okay enough RUclips tonight, er TikyTaky

Nice little documentaries, I think you should be getting more recognition.

Thanks for sharing!

I hope to visit one day. I am William Marshal, 24 great grandson

Great film guys 🙌

Saxon Kings of Northumbria? Total Fail. Go back and read some history.

Perfect day out as there's a wetherspoons right outside the castle 😂 curry pint Castle

Absolute nonsense

Not to far from me

Brill smooth documentary on the history TLK all the way

A beautiful place full of history 🦇 🙂 Best wishes to you 🤩 🔥 👍

Only here because I have haddon hall solingen Germany surgical scissors.. Very old and Scary to think about 😮😢

love your videos the amount of attention to detail and level of historical info you share is brilliant i don't know why your not getting a lot more views good work many thanks.

Ive been looking for this place . looks lovely , we went to Bakewell a few weeks ago

Nothing about the ape then? 🙃

If you find yourself at Chillingham Castle in Northumberland, be sure to say hello to my horses, they live at the castle stables.

Normans....filthy criminals.... England and the world has suffered ever since

William is my many great grandfather!!!

William the bastard.

Forkbeard..... the true translation is more like double or dual beard.

Ice-cream cones as well!!

I bet they wanted to stop these boats too. But how can you resist long haired blonde dudes with dreamy blue eyes! 😂😅

They owe us reparations!

Once in Bromley they assembled in the Green Midget cafe and spam selecting a spam particular spam item from the spam menu would spam, spam, spam, spam, spam

How many boats do you think discovers an armada or a fleet? How many men do you think they really had??

Gav & Jo, this was excellent! WOW, is all I can say, what a powerhouse Bamburgh is! Would absolutely love to visit there especially after watching this excellent video!! It was absolutely fascinating to listen to Lauren and hear her explain about the coin hoard, so so interesting! & see inside that grand hall, what a place. Thank you both, inspiring!

If that's your wife, you're punching pal. 😂😂

As a descendant of King Arthur and Mrs Bouquet I really appreciated this video.

A great blend of Gavin's castles and arms and armour expertise, Jo's historical knowledge and the film maker's wonderful photography. The drone shots really show off the true scale of this spectacular building. I used to think of Bamburgh as a largely Victorian/Edwardian re creation. How wrong I was! The archaeological dig is shedding light on the much longer history of the site. Would have liked the video to end with Gavin and Jo on horseback galloping along the beach with the castle as a backdrop! Makes me want to go there, and, I guess, that's the real purpose of your videos. Well done GVC team.

They didn't use boiling oil - they used boiling water or hot sand - oil was far too precious and expensive to waste like that!

Very cool love it

Amazing video guys !🔥🏰

There were NO Saxon kings in Northumbria. It was the Angles and the Frisians who were in Northumbria. The Saxons were in the south. Do Sussex, Essex, Wessex not ring a bell?

I enjoy all of Go Visit Castles videos 🎉😊

My mother is a Norwegian!! I am 74%. My mother’s lineages are related to the royals today and the past far back!! On my father’s side William the conqueror is my grandfather, way great. Also Charlemagne is long distance grandfather on my fathers side. I do have royal blood on both side but not raised as one. Just a farmer!! Lol!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!!

Amazing video guys. The footage, information and the drone aerial views Outstanding. I was lucky enough to fly it in 2022 its on my channel

Not many would have the courage to do that. Heroes
