    What a way to start my Saturday morning. It always gets my imagination going to see these ruins and wonding what they would have looked like in their glory days.
    Thank you for sharing

    Loved the history surrounding the castle and yet again, that era of the civil war and reformation of the church crops up, it features in many of our historic buildings past. The Abbey ceiling....WoW....so detailed. Great job Nic 👏🏻

    Hi Nic, what a beautiful abbey and ruins of the old castle! I love how you touch the walls to connect with the past, I do that too at every place I visit 😊amazing to see the oak wood survive after 500 years. I doubt it will be there another few hundred now it's exposed to the elements. Great video!!

    Thank you for bringing us along. I really enjoyed your visit! And learning more about the castle Sherburne. Two swings off the killing axe world not have been enough to have satisfied me!!
    The Abby, Monastery, and church and the history of all is both beautiful and fascinating!

    Lovely walk around the old castle. That's a place I've been wanting to visit for quite a while now. Sherborne town is also a wo derful place and the Abbey is very spectacular both inside and out. It's strange as to where all the people were. Very quiet indeed. Thanks Nic

    Great video , i visited the castle and house/gardens in June .It's very atmospheric igot a feeling of sadness. The deer parks are ancestors from the same deer introduced in the 15th century. Thank you subd. Much love from Cornwall ❤❤

    Hi Nic. Beautiful Sherborne, such a wonderful town. I dated a girl from there in 1987/88. It didn’t end well, though… she two-timed me.😏Anyway, another lovely walk with some well explained and thoughtful history. Always a pleasure, never a bore. Look after yourself Nic. Simon

    I was there in June, there was a chap who gave free tours of the Abbey which was informative, the new castle is worth a visit though it was closed on the day I went but the garden was beautiful. There was no one about in either castle though I saw no ghosts .Lol.👻

    As ever a great video, I often feel something in these places but it just feels out of reach, maybe the spirits of many wrapped in time, its difficult to explain, so close but yet so far. thank you for efforts..atb Tom..

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  5 месяцев назад

      I know exactly what you mean. Just out of reach is how I'd describe it. 🙂

  • @greenjack1959l

    The abbey is absolutely stunning, curiously a lot of Catholic iconography surviving in the church, I'm amazed that it survived the reformation. It Always amazes me the buildings of such epic architecture and monumental scale were built by peasants living in mud huts. I wonder what they made of it all.

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  2 месяца назад

      Yes, this abbey is an absolute gem! It looks lovely from outside but inside it something else.
