- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Bodiam Castle, situated in East Sussex, England, was constructed between 1385 and 1388 as a defensive fortification during the Hundred Years' War and a symbol of its builder, Sir Edward Dalyngrigge's social standing.
This well-preserved medieval castle features a square plan with four corner towers, a central courtyard, a surrounding moat, and a drawbridge. Over the centuries, it changed ownership and went through periods of decline and restoration.
Today, Bodiam Castle is a popular tourist destination owned and managed by the National Trust. It is renowned for its picturesque design and serves as a historical gem, showcasing the medieval architecture and military history of 14th-century England.

Wowww 😮 เป็นปราสาทที่น่าทึ่ง Follow the next episode 💯
This is the most beautiful castle in the whole UK I think. In the UK they still has respect for old builings and castles, Europe, and certainly the Netherlands, can learn something from them, if you don't keep anything old and modernize everything your no longer have history to look back on, it's a beautiful castle !!! 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻
Ahh, Absolutely love this comment, thank you so much Paul. I love Bodiam, it's so unique and like a fairy-tale, completely agree about European castles Vs the UK. Thank you again for the kindest compliments!!!
@@paulus894 in the USA mobs destroy history and build statues to rapists
So true. The Europeans have decided their history isn't worth preserving. I guess it's because they think they're so much better than everyone else. Now they've allowed millions of Islamists in to make their own history.
30 years Europe will have completely surrendered/converted to Islam.
My daughter and I accidentally stumbled across this castle during our UK road trip. It’s even more beautiful in person.
What a fantastic place to have stumbled across. I agree wholeheartedly it's so pretty. :)
We are planning to visit Bodiam castle after watching this amazing video. Thank you Aleesa. ❤
Honestly, comments like these are the reason we do this channel - Thank you so much, have a fantastic time and look forward to a video if you do one there!! xx
Very exclusive ❤❤❤❤❤sharing
I visited this beautiful castle in the eighties , some bits of it ido remember thanks for taking me around it again.
My pleasure 😊
Berjalan yang luar biasa dari area itu
Wow, what a beautiful place, I love the moat, so picturesque. 😊
Super glad you think so! We loved Bodiam. Such a special place 💕
Beautiful, well done, lovely shots and tour
Oh our darling Mother - thank you so much for commenting xx
So amazing castle. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Okay, it's sadly become apparent you Brit's have went and changed your clocks again without proper notice to us Yanks! 🤣🤣I don't know if it's the most beautiful castle there, but it's certainly a fine one! Well preserved too and we enjoyed the tour and history. I can imagine living there back then. Or the undead living there still! Lovely tour and views from above. Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Tell me about it, BST changing is annoying sometimes! But at least you gave it a watch eventually! Loved this castle, one of our bucket list ticked off! X
Absolutely love this channel thankyou for visiting all my favourite places
Thank you so so much Dan, that's such high and kind praise! 😇 were glad to do it!
Local to my home as a child. Fun fact, in the early 80's I fired a longbow off the S/W turret when the castle was closed to visitors. 😁
I was SO excited to finally visit this castle last July!!! Of course, I still haven't done the video because I'm hopelessly behind... but that's just me! Your video is beautiful! You were lucky to not have the scaffolding up that I had to deal with!
Fantastic recap of the history, Alessa! Such an interesting place. The quadrangle design and the lovely towers make it one of my favourite castles in Britain. That moat!!! Just love it. Glad I didn't have to smell it back in the day, tho ;-)
That was an incredible tour of a large and expansive castle. I enjoy your narration with your vast knowledge of the castle history. Thank you for bringing me along on your tour of this exquisite place.
Oh my gosh this one is indeed my favorite so far! It’s just spectacular 🤩 The drone footage is a step back in time to a medieval era with the moat and the Castle looking so majestic and proud. Thanks so much for this amazing tour, it had my imagination going a mile a minute. Congratulations on another wonderful narration. The ghostly tales are the cherry on top for these ancient dwellings. Thanks Alessa and Brett👏😃👍🤩
One of my favourites on my home patch. I've not visited it since I started filming castles, so I need to go back! Awesome tour and history 😁
Wow, impressive castle ruin, I can't believe, that there are so much left of it. Stunning view over the castle from wall. Amazing walking tour inside the castle. I love the view from the tower, it looks absolutely stunning.
Bodiam has everything I look for in a castle. I've visited a few times and other similar styled castles.
This one is certainly in the Top 10. I'd add Ightham Mote and Stokesay, Goodrich and Framingham, Conisborough and Middleham, Restormel... The water does add quite a bit here, though.
Gorgeous light! Lovely music.
What an amazing Castle, surrounded by water. The inside was amazing too. Very interesting as well. The drone footage was another level. Thank you friends for a wonderful share 🙏
What's not to love about this? Bodiam is very pretty indeed but your passion for your exxperience really sold the castle ruin to us. wow. wow wow. the ending was so epic with the drone aerials another truly well done job. Can only imagine watching this on a BBC documentary!
Hi guys, youtube has been a nightmare today just a shame for people premiering, watched now in full quality and it was fabulous! What a stunning castle, so much left! Love it’s home to 🦇 and the views from the tops were incredible! Lovely narration and interesting tales especially the horror story of the Dickensian boy! Wow it is definitely our favourite from the sky, stunning! Have a great week guys ❤️
Sorry it’s been a hit of a rollercoaster few weeks, just catching up. This is stunning, I say it every week, but we need to get into England more!! Fabulous history as always. Castle building was in the Edwards blood! Loved the lighting inside, really atmospheric. Oo the smells when they were creating feasts in those fireplaces must have been amazing. It looks like they have loads of good exhibitions and trails for the kids to do on site too. Beautiful drone work as always. Cheers 🍻
This is an excellent video showing a very old and beautiful castle and its surroundings, it looks really nice.👍👍😍😍🌹🌹✌✌
Rewatching after the glitch yesterday! When I see that castle all I think of is a fire breathing dragon guarding the most😂 Awesome seeing it over the water! Thanks for the tour👍🏼
Now this one is definitely a beautiful castle. Thanks for taking us around it. You can't beat a bit of Monty Python.
Hi Alessa, watched your video in full finally, what an amazing Castle, the moat around the castle still filled with water just magical. The landscape around the castle was beautiful. The walk inside the castle showed how grande this castle would once have been but the ruins are still very well preserved. Loved the tour around the inside and the decorations for halloween, hats from the ceiling and pumpkins by the window, gave it an eerie feel. The views from the tower were beautiful. Loved hearing the ghostly stories your narration is impeccable. The drone footage was stunning as always but as I said earlier it was so magical, Thank you for sharing this wonderful castle with us, take care x Julie and Tony x
Thumbs up 38. Looks like a beautiful castle 🏰. The video quality is too good here. I can see even the shadows captured wonderful 😊
Hi Alessa.
There is such beautiful history behind this castle, Bodiam. 17:33 are they scars or are they honor..
Thank you, Alessa for your energy pouring into this film. This film suggests your warm heartfelt personality. Absolutely love it.
Fantastic program inviting young children to learn about its history. They will remember it forever...
Totally stunning view!!! 23:47 Well done Brett. Bravo to your video!!!
haha Trick or treat? May I have a candy? Miss you...your besite xx
Your premiere all sudden ended within several mins. Refresh and I am watching-reply.
I am so sorry what happened to your premiere that K7S experienced once didn't start on time but last few mints of vid.
We all got your back watching afterward.
Thanks for showing us around the castle. Stunning frontage.Huge rooms windows & Fireplaces cool features left even a well. Great history again too 👏 Shame the premier glitched. I Just fully watched now again . Awesome tour around Pinned on Places. Good drone footage too Brett 👍 catch up with you again soon 😁👊🏼👊🏼
Hi guys loved this one what a stunning place loved the .moat round castle and it looked a spooky place my maskman would love it there lol
Very well presented and eloquently spoken.I will visit one day
Wow! Amazing praise, thank you so much! Please do, Bodiam is a treasure trove of history and beauty. Thank you again for watching!
Nice Walk, Thanks for sharing this video 👍 Im also walking tour vlogger from Philippines 🇵🇭
Muchas gracias por este video. Mi hijo de 8 años en Chile adora los castillos y su arquitectura. Afortunadamente él sí entiende y habla inglés así es que lo disfrutó. Veremos el capítulo de Dr Who donde aparece. Saludos desde Chile ❤
Hi Alessa.
Stunning castle 😍 is certainly up there with the most impressive castles.
Enjoyed that and the views from the drone are spectacular 👌
I’ve actually been to this castle, but quite a long time ago. I can’t wait to hear and watch your take on the castle because I am sure there will be much for me to learn.
Amazing!!! I'm so glad you had a trip there. Honestly it's been on my personal list for years, to actually experience it for me was pretty special I have to say. Thank you again for commenting. Look forward to hearing what you think of the video!
Going to be working but watching silently👍🏼
You're so kind LB. Totally understand though! Hope work goes quickly for you x
Beautiful castle
"Is THIS England's Most BEAUTIFUL Castle??" . . . . Betteridge's Law would tend to say "no" - Leed's Castle over near Maidstone is far fairer but Bodiam IS beautifully situated in the landscape and a very picturesque ruin so thank you for the extensive (and exhaustive!) tour.
Anybody visiting should take food for the hundreds of huge fish that live in the moat. It's doubtful that the moat would have been THAT polluted - there was little industrial pollution in those times and the organic "waste products" would have been broken down in the reed beds, the fish growing fat on the nutrients - just like the carp ponds of the old monasteries - and have been eaten by the inhabitants.
Lovers of old steam railway journeys can visit the nearby Kent and East Sussex railway - cream teas while puffing through the countryside!
Why thank you so very much Jeffrey for your comments. Was a great read and some fantastic points! Would love to visit Leeds Castle that is very much on the list this year when we head over into Kent :)
Always enjoy the drone footage. Your presentation skills and all the information about the places you visit are admirable .Keep up the great work.
Hi Alessa 😊 just rewatched seen as the premieres were playing up on Sunday. What a great castle. Those staircases do look very narrow and windy 😅 the moat does look beautiful but it’s a shame it was previously used as it was, I imagine your right and it didn’t have the same impression back then. Love that about the bats, sounds like they look after them really well there. The kitchen looks very impressive, like the large fireplaces. 😊 As always so much fantastic information and research done 😊
this place is truly amazing, really beautiful. loved seeing it done up for Halloween. great video, shame YT was playing up during the premier
Spectacular views 👍
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Wish you health and success in life!
Ah guys, loved this, it was a great looking castle with a beautiful moat and I think definitely it must be Englands best looking castle 😃Enjoyed listening to you tell the history which was really interesting. Its so big and I loved all of the Halloween decorations. Beautiful drone footage over the stunning area too :) ~ Anna 👍
Don't forget there's The Kent & East Sussex Railway Tourist Attraction to visit.
Will revisit this summer and will make sure we head there, love a train
Good.
Thank you.
Arundel is my favourite castle 😍
A fantastic choice! Arundel is superb 👌🏻
Truly amazing, excellent video.
Nice upload 👌 👍
What a blanket of late snow to cover in your lovely video and the scenery in the end….WOW! Thx for sharing ‼️💐👏🎥‼️
Greetings 🖖
Hiya Mia! Thank you for commenting!
Nice tour 😊
What just happened, was enjoying watching Bodiam Castle, i thought that my signal was knocked out
Premieres were playing up on Sunday, it went straight into publish, apologies Dave, but thanks for watching afterwards! X
im obsessed,,what a place and what a tale,, loved the halloween vibes that went throughout the castle,, it was national trust right? my other half has a membership with them so we may indeed plan a visit with many thanks to your incredible video,, thank you POP team
I'll have to watch this tomorrow- still had heaps of disturbances. Such a shame. 😔
WOW what an awesome castle, so beautiful and it is so great that they do something for the children. Great story lesson. I would like to know: Have you made a book or a DVD with all the castles you have visited? If so, I want it and I want it now👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏰🤩😍
great video - asked my wife to cremate and skatter my ashes in one of these such castles so I can roam the grounds for eternity lol. Who's with me!?!?!? ;)
Absolutely! Love that 🤣👀👍🏻
반가워요 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have been there a few times. It is really nice.
Very nice
Oak Wood Portcullis.
i think pevensey castle would’ve been better example. thanks 4 sharing
Pevensey castle is a total ruin and not a pleasant looking one at that, so a curious comment
I have a Papperback DK Eyewitness Book of CASTLE.
If walls could talk
Dover castle ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice upload 😍🤍
Thanks 🤗
the well was fed partially by the moat and had doves living above it..... it was like 90% shit-water. >_
Thank you for your comment. Mmm... yum sounds very pleasant huh? 😆
❤❤

The most which you think would have smelled terrible! Is not the case, as the effluents were natural no anti biotics! And thousands of carp fish cleaning the waters, and a welcome supplement for the residents.
Who is here after watching Wonka?
Me!!!
Sites such as this have been inhabited for millennia, from the Celtic tribes, then Roman’s, Anglo-Saxons, then Normans, and now present day English.
Wasn't this Castle used in the movie Game of Thrones?
Unfortunately not, it has the look for it, but I believe it is Castle Ward in Belfast that's used in GOT :)

What's that, please? It looks like a bunker.

Fascinating Rob! What a read :)
Thank you.
I really like the moat but...I think Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire is more beautiful than this one.
Love this comment, would love to see Belvoir and experience it! It's on the list hehe. Thank you for commenting!
so sorry i tried to watch but it just wont play for me , one of my all time favourites too since going there in the 1960s and yes having a ghostly experience as a 6 year old, doubt if you've seen my = ghosts of Bodiam video but it really is quite haunted....i have you on subscribed and set to all on the bell and get no notifications whatsoever
The amount we waste on illegal immigrants’ hotels could have rebuilt this. Ironically.
how would that help anyone at all? seems like more of a waste then helping actually helping human beings.
@@LoveTwentyOne11 human beings. I don’t think we are on the same page.
Muslim as far as I can see are not
@@nickmoranis2865 muslims are not human beings?
@LoveTwentyOne11 we are talking about economic migrants. They were perfectly fine on their own countries, but saw sucker's who were willing to support them free of charge so why not take advantage. If there was a place allowing westerners in, giving us food, descent housing, and spending cash I'd go.

super great video ....really great to watch this video of Bodiam castle ...i think it is the most beautiful i my opinion ....have a great Halloween
Your videos jst go from strengh to strengh magnificent work
💗💗💗💗 have not had the chance to head down south,,but this looks amazing,,what a place can-t wait for the video
We think you would love the delights the Southern end of the country offers! Appreciate you. Look forward to hearing what you think!
Very informative video, Bodiam has been on my list of places to visit for a while, definitely looks worth a trip!
Please do visit Bodiam, its such a special place. Its under National Trust just FYI. But wow its one of those fairytale castles 🏰 thank you for watching, means alot!
Hi Alessa, will watch when utube lets us. it just took me right to your ending and couldn't even type in the chat. So sorry, will rewatch ❤
There is something about this castle that brings tears to my eyes and a pang in my heart...I am sure your voice and presentation is part of this feeling...the music is just perfect...the views from above are magnificent...tales of ghosts and the paranormal experiences would only be expected from such a castle, unusual for the lady to be in red, usually they're wearing white 🤍...spectacular drone views which brought back the thought of the moat being used as the refuse for the toilets ☣ and how bad that smell would have been with so many living there 😝 I must say, this is the most breathtaking castle to date and you did a superb job describing it today!
What a beautiful castle and truly great presentation. Some movie could be shot here, it looks so powerful! Love it 👏👏
What a fantastic view from the walkway as your heading to the castle! The castle is so intriguing and I enjoyed hearing about its design and the use of the moat that surrounds it. The tower is similarly built like a tower I walked here about a year ago…neat to see something similar. Thank you for the interesting tour and I enjoyed hearing about bats living there. Great video. 👍😊🇨🇦
This castle is so impressive! It's so well preserved inside. I enjoyed the tour throughout the inside of the castle and the history of the place. The grounds inside the court are so pretty! Amazing! As always I love the exit part of your video 😊
This is really a beautiful and well preserved castle. I can imagine how they lived here. The drone shots are relly great. It shows how magnificent the castle it is from the air. Take care and have a nice weekend. Sretana and Zac. 🖐😊🤗
Super
Thank you so much for commenting and watching!
