- Recently we visited the fantastic Ludlow Castle in Shropshire. Its history is remarkable. It has played a role in defending England since the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror in 1066. A castle first stood on this site during the 11th century, and throughout the years it has played host to many sieges, kings and queens and also grand festivities.
The most important part of Ludlow Castle was the defence that it played for England. Ludlow Castle was set up as part of the Marcher Earldoms. This was a series of defences that were established during the Norman period, in order to protect England from the Welsh. Throughout the Tudor Period, Ludlow played host to many of England's most famous kings and queens. Prince Arthur, the son of Henry VII and brother of Henry VIII enjoyed his honeymoon at Ludlow with his wife Catherine of Aragon. Also, Mary I or Bloody Mary would oversee the Council of the Marches too. The Council of the Marches was a group who would oversee Wales, and deal with many different disputes in Wales and also finances. Throughout the English Civil War, Ludlow was besieged by Parliamentarians. Looking back to the Wars of the Roses, it also was the scene of the nearby very bloody Battle of Ludford Bridge, which resulted in a Lancastrian victory for Henry VI.
Even during the Second World War, Ludlow Castle was used for American soldiers to play baseball inside the inner bailey of the castle. Overall it has had a remarkably interesting history. Join us as we show you around, and tell you the history behind, Ludlow Castle, The Gateway to Wales.'

I truly miss visiting castles and such through the National Trust. Grateful for the dedication to saving British history both architecturally and historically.
I' fond of your history! Amazing video. Thank you, thank you very much. I ' ve never been to Ludlow but want to see so awesome place. Pity, that the castle is in so sad condition, never the less, is stillreally impressive.
I went to school nearby in the late 1970s. Every year the Royal Shakespeare Company performed around September time in the castle. The top performers in English were taken by the school to watch the plays. I was always one of the ones chosen and it was an atmospheric thing to see, period costumed Shakespearean actors performing in the ruins of the castle.
Lucky you!
Thank you very much for such a compact, comprehensive and concise video on Ludlow Castle and it's long and rich history and it's owners. Only just found your channel this week and have subscribed on the strength of what I've seen already, means a lot watching videos like this as I'm disabled and sick and can't get to places so easily, so people like you and channels like this are my way of seeing all these wonderful places of interest, history, amazing architecture and scenic backdrops and making my day. 😊❤🏰🌳⚔🏹🛡
Thanks for your kind words, hopefully heading back out there with the camera soon filming some more videos like this!
Wonderful job, very informative, well produced. What a unique area to visit.
Thanks so much for the great comment, I'm glad you enjoyed! I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to Ludlow it's a great town and the castle is fantastic!
TheUntoldPast I’m fortunate enough to have visited Ludlow previously. There’s always a reason to go back!
I’ll be going back soon too! Thanks for your comments mate, take care :)
Really interesting! I'm reading a bio of Prince Arthur Tudor & ofc Ludlow's a huge part of his story, but I only really know about Ludlow around that time & a bit earlier, other than that it was one of the old Welsh Marcher castles. So it was brilliant to hear some of its earlier & later history, & a bit about the Mortimer Earls of March before they married into the Plantagenets. I'm getting the impression the Welsh Marches & the Marcher Lords were pretty powerful & important, if not as much as the Scottish Borders & the Northern Earls.
would love to visit this castle one day. my last name was named after this castle it comes from this castle. just to imagine seeing this castle up close in the olden days....wow!
I realize it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
@Jeffery Avery Flixportal :)
@Deshawn Ameer Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!
@Jeffery Avery glad I could help xD
we went here yesterday and was a great day but bits were blocked off should be interesting to see more pictures around the place of what it may have look liked like to give an idea.
Very interesting, my dad's mother's maiden name was Ludford, wonder if there is a link there to ludlow and ludford bridge.
Very interesting but how did it get so deteriorated?
Did delay just employ a writer ?
What accent is that?
Hi, thanks for the comment. It's a midlands accent from England.
@@TheUntoldPast Cool, I was wondering, but being Australian, I'm not as familiar with all the different British accents. Much more interesting than here; 90% of us have the same accent :D
one place that will burn in the end days. good bye
