    You really have been in my neck of the woods this last couple of weeks. Last time I visited Okehampton Castle was early(ish) last year not long after I had broken my foot exercising my dog on Woodbury Commom. I was still determined to climb up to the tower, and I did!! Can’t wait for your visit because I will learn much more about this castle. Many thanks, Peter.

    • @PinnedonPlaces
      @PinnedonPlaces  5 месяцев назад

      Oh my! OUCH! It was quite the strenuous climb to the stone keep, so I can only imagine the pain you went through to climb it with a broken foot! My hat is off to you! hehe. Really enjoying Devon/Cornwall and we really want to spend much more time visiting the lovely south west! Hoping to do so in the next few months before 'getting out and about' becomes hard with the weather. Thank you so much Peter for being so kind and encouraging always! We honestly love bringing these video's out and love learning about these incredible historical places! Have a great bank holiday weekend!

    Hi Alessa,
    Another master piece. Absolutely, your narration enhances the film.
    So much bitter history happened in this castle. Headed!
    The interesting fact about no well in this castle. It suggests me they all were drunk? hahah
    They must have some kind of health issue?
    So much untold stories. I praise you , two.
    Your films must be on the shelves of the every single educational institute.
    I praise YOU and Brett. I may miss your next show since we will be celebrating his BD in FL.
    I have an issue that I am in visible and nobody can see me unless the host make me a moderator manually. Now it fixed!

    What a stunning location! The views from the castle are breathtaking.I can't decide what's more terrifying-the haunted carriage or the idea of carrying water up to the castle without a well! The history you shared about Oak Hampton Castle really brought the site to life. It’s so important to preserve these historical sites and share their stories. Keep up the amazing work!

    What a lovely place. That William the conqueror was a bad lot though. It reminds us of Corfe castle in its design. 17 children!! It's a lovely castle and as always brilliant to see it from above. Cheers guys 🍻

    Hi Alessa & Brett, what a stunning castle! It was truly magnificent. Strange that the sons did not want to take care of it. Good job he had a daughter who did! 👍😀 The views from the castle are fabulous. The 'Wronged Woman' sounds like a very scary apparation! Poor woman being falsely accused over the years. Fantastic aerial footage at the end. Stunning! ❤❤

    I can't believe I have never visited Okehampton Castle - seen it from the (now sadly disused) Dartmoor Railway.

    For a castle ruin there is still so much to see.
    Great narration and history.
    Take care,

      That's super interesting Paul, It's such a shame to hear about the disused railway in the area :( Oh you would absolutely adore a wander here, as would you enjoy the walks that they have around the woods/forest, it's really quite a special place. Thank you so very much for commenting and watching, it means alot!

    I'm in awe of the massive size of this castle. The thick walls of the highest structure leaves me wondering what could have lead to it's deterioration? At the same time ... Can you image the incredible number of stones that had to be carried up the hill by man and beast to be set in place to construct this fortress? I love the narrative you share with the video and I'm grateful for all the research you do to bring these historical places to life with word and video.
