Amazing place on an amazing island with an amazing tale :)
Hey there Love it x❤ ❤kelly
Thank you so much :)
Hi, awesome live history video. I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well, and so is my cat Benjamin. We have a heatwave in Ontario, Canada. How is the weather where you are? In the next video, in the future, could you do Carew Castle it's in Wales on the south side. I heard it's haunted 👻 also. Have a great day. See you next video. All your history videos are always enjoyable 😊
Thank you so much I'm happy you are enjoying my videos :) good to hear that you and Benjamin are well, I'm good too thanks. The weather over here is terrible, it's been wet and cold, we need some sunshine! I've heard of Carew Castle but not been there yet, it's on the list to visit ;) have a great weekend!
Great informative video, thank you. We went there yesterday & its great to walk around. Then we went to the museum to see the skeleton that was found in 1988.
Glad you enjoyed it! The museum is wonderful, some lovely paintings of the castle and information about it (if I remember correctly), I don't actually remember the skeleton but that gives me an excuse to return :)
This is where I grew up. I grew up camping in the castle, swimming in the Devil's basin, and spending night after night waiting to see the nun. Good Friday was a great time to go there. Local tradition led dozens of families up there on that day for picnics, etc. My mum still lives in the family home on the edge of the forest.
Oh wow what fantastic memories of the castle they sound like you had a lot of fun there :)
Thank you 👑 👑 👑
You are so welcome 😁
This is a great video, enjoyed the walkthrough and seeing the interior of Lindisfarne, What a special place. The views truly are something else!

So bright inside, has a much homier feel then so many others from that time period. Another wonderful video, thank you for posting!
The location and interior are wonderful, I love this place even if it is not a classic castle!

My local castle x
Oh lovely, how wonderful to get to visit Old Wardour regularly 🙂
Another Amazing castle I had never seen before! Thank you for doing these videos, your voice and narration really add to the dramatic footage.
Thank you so much 😀 It is a pleasure making these videos and sharing what I see and discover!
nice stuff 👍
Thank you, our first time at Warkworth but what an unexpectedly fantastic castle!
Beautiful place
It really is something from a fairytale story 😀
I wonder the age of those two trees
I used to live next to this castle and passed it every day.Its a bit of a rough area of Edinburgh or at least used to be.
I don't know much about the area as we were just visiting but the castle is wonderful, must have been great to glimpse it daily!
Thank you for the video. I am a little puzzled that there did not seem to be any fireplaces suggesting this fortress was meant for garrison purposes only. Did you see any remains of fireplaces or kitchen ovens? Best wishes, Veronique.

A central tenet of English law is "Nemo dat quad non habet", ie you cannot acquire legal ownership from someone who did not have a legal right to ownership himself. Although occupied by Anglicans, Caterbury Catherdral clearly remains a Catholic church. Furthermore the first article of Magna Carta states that the nonarch has no authority over the Church. The majority of the original copies of Magna Carta that were on display in most English cathdrals suddenly disappeared after the Anglicans took them over.
Interesting, thanks
Fascinating history. Enjoyed this video and can't wait for the next one! Well done.
Thank you, more incredible historic sites to come from Northumberland :)
Thanks for mentioning battle of shrewsbury..Hotspur You need to go the battlefield in shrewsbury now!! (Where i live.....ill meet yer!❤)
I completely agree I really do need to visit Battlefield, it's quite shocking that I have not already done so ;-)
@@castlesandlegends 😂👍❤
Beautiful only can imagine in its day complete ❤️
It must have been spectacular, especially when you see some of the other castles that the Percy family held!
What a story, plenty of rebellion indeed! The main tower is just stunning, can't wait for the next Northumberland installment! Thank you! 👍
Thank you, the great tower is rather spectacular and more impressive historic sites to come in Northumberland ;)
Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? How is the weather where you are? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. We have great warm weather in Ontario Canada. Have a great day. All your history videos are always enjoyable 😊
I'm great thank you, glad you and Benjamin are well and enjoying sunshine. Weather rather rainy in the UK just now, we had sunshine last week so it will hopefully return soon :) enjoy your weekend!
Having read through the Dream of Rhonabwy in the Mabinogion, I had reconstructed Arthur's journey to the Battle of Badon. And following the clues as best I could, and with the association in The Dream, and at Castle Dinas Bran with crows/ravens I had believed that this must surely have been the site of the battle itself. Sadly, as Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd point out, in their book 'Arthur The Untold Story' my extrapolation of the clues was incorrect, as they have correctly (in my view) identified the Battle of Badon as having taken place at Breidden Hill near Welshpool. I think the name Dinas Bran could actually have derived as another form of the term 'crows nest', as in on board a sailing ship. As the castle has such stunning and commanding views all around, just like the crows nest aboard a ship. The association with the character of King Bran could well be just like the ancient Greek habit of saying that such-and-such was named after King so-and-so (a river for example). When the King actually takes his name from the place, not the other way round. It's a truly beautiful place, somewhere I'd like to visit one day. Thanks for showing us round!
Thanks for the extra information! It is a beautiful historic site, I hope you get to visit 😀
this Lady pronounces the family name completely wrong , should be said as "Louther"
Love this one thanks ❤
Thank you, Edinburgh is such an amazing place crammed with fascinating history!
Beautiful place great history ❤
Absolutely stunning place, it was my second visit to Sudeley but I would happily return it is just lovely with so much history!
Enjoyed the tour. One thing, however: Please rhyme the words "how now brown cow" with the first syllable of the name Lowther. ;-)
Enjoyed it ❤️
Thank you, wonderful location tucked away in the woods!
Love it what a castle ❤
It certainly is, I feel it often gets overlooked being so close to Caernarfon and Conwy
Enjoyed this thanks for doing a great job narrating these videos 👍❤️
Thank you so much 😀
My last is strickland
What about Eleanor Butler?
