      Consider making an ASMR channel mixed with your current content. It'd be a perfect mix, niche and (with time, love & effort) abundantly successful.
      The seed has been planted in your mind.

      As far as the audio, while maybe not up to your current standards, it is certainly better that much of what is out there.

    Wow, I love history, and I studied quite a lot of British history during high school; from the Roman invasion, till the end of the cold war... But I didn't know there were so many well preserved ruins! Makes sense in the context of Henry VIII, but there's just something about ruins, or reused parts of buildings, that makes them more interesting than actually preserved buildings. I think it's the way they send your imagination flying, trying to picture what they would've looked like in their heyday.
    I wanted to thank you for showing us these wonderful places, and hope that you continue to do so!
    PS, have you considered making curated tours of these sites? Maybe guides for tourists that want to visit the UK's medieval sites? I've seen other history RUclipsrs even offer paid guided tours, I'm sure there would be many takers!

    Wonderful video. I walked up to the tor with a friend of mine the other day who's also into history, and he told me about Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, who was hanged on the tor after refusing to surrender the abbey in 1539. His execution must have been visible for miles around.
