- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Today, I am at the Gateway to Wales 🐉 at Chepstow Castle 🏰 which is the oldest castle in Wales, but also the first stone built castle in Britain! 😲 It's wooden doors 🚪 are also the oldest in Europe! 😱
Beautifully preserved Chepstow Castle stretches out along a limestone cliff above the River Wye like a history lesson in stone.
There’s no better place in Britain to see how castles gradually evolved to cope with ever more destructive weaponry - and the grandiose ambitions of their owners. For more than six centuries Chepstow was home to some of the wealthiest and most powerful men of the medieval and Tudor ages.
Building was started in 1067 by Earl William fitz Osbern, close friend of William the Conqueror, making it one of the first Norman strongholds in Wales. In turn William Marshal (Earl of Pembroke), Roger Bigod (Earl of Norfolk) and Charles Somerset (Earl of Worcester) all made their mark before the castle declined after the Civil War.

Stunning footage and aerial shots, loved seeing the flight over the bridge and that gorgeous shot with the cliff face, Chepstow is such a beautiful place, we are so thankful to have visited there!! You've really brought the drone shots to life, always enjoy your content :) Have a lovely weekend! :)
Thank you! It was a shame I forgot to turn the wireless mic on 😲 But hopefully salvaged it with the aerial footage 😉 Looking forward to seeing yours at 5pm 👍 Have a great weekend too 👏
Nice 1 Chris, the castle is huge ,as usual very smoothly done and great editing , I hope coast erosion doesn't happen here and the castle would be lost.
Spot on 👍
Cheers mate. Yes, the castle is massive, even bigger than I thought. Thanks for the great comments! The castle does look a tad precarious on the edge of those cliffs, over looking the Wye River. Fingers crossed, it'll last another millenia 🤞
Found your comment in another drone channel. Looks like "MainlightPhotoDrone" found you before I did.
The in-video narrative was informative. The drone footage of the castle was nice too. It looks like the river is below normal judging from the river banks.
Long walk from Wales to England too . Thanks for sharing ! 👍
Thanks David. Yes, I subscribe to MainlightPhotoDrone. Love his work. Just checked out your channel and have subbed, stunning location 👍 Glad you liked my video. Not quite Florida weather, but we've adapted 😉 Still trying to improve the narrative, it's all new to me. Thanks for the kind comment, all the best 😉👍
This is fascinating! I never fail to be amazed that structure like this could be built back then considering technology and population.
Thanks! Tell me about it, building this a millenia ago, the complexity, scale and precarious location ... mind blowing! Mind you, free labour always helps 😉
Thank you for this amazing video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Barbie! 🤩👍
Thanks for sharing, both informative and giving unique views of the castle.
Cheers mate, that's great feedback! Thanks very much 🙏
Really beautiful vlog, once again. The ruins look absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much! It's a lovely part of the world, well worth a visit! Thanks for the feedback 🤩
Great info on the description🏆🏆.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Mike and Sue! 👍
정말 특이한 풍경 좋아요
예, 우리는 매우 운이 좋습니다. 특히 영국의 이 지역, 그리고 너무 많은 역사 🙏
Lush area. Loved it. 👏👏
100% agree, I could spend weeks in the Wye Valley and still see just a fraction of what is has to offer 😉
Great footage and loved the history. Another fab video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Excuse the poor mic sound and the wind noise. Fancy forgetting to turn the wireless mic on 😖
@@LamboPhoto it’s part of the atmosphere and adds to the video. 👍🏻
