    Fantastic castle tour, Thank you Poppy for taking us to the top 😊It is hard to believe it was 2000 years ago, i still think the Romans were very clever for what equipment they would have had but not sure i would have liked to live here in those times.

      It's amazing when you find Roman remains everywhere, they were so powerful.

    More memories from when we lived in Hampshire, the castle is stunning. So much history, plus the Portsmouth Docks Museum and the Solent. Thank you Poppy, Tara, Bob & Jenny. Take care.

    What a lovely castle, Poppy really enjoyed going up the tower, the view was amazing over to Portsmouth. Nice how you were able to sit and eat/drink in the. Burch itself, I bet it was a cool relief from the sun. The church was beautiful x

    Hi Bob, jenny, Tara & poppy, I was amazed they charge that much for the castle, it was 50p each when my boys were young. Hope you both enjoyed it, its really rather pretty. When I saw all those steps going up it wore me out watching, as I myself have climbed all them steps. That was really nice to see the castle & church again, thank you Bob & jenny, take care, lots of love Linda xx ❤

    Regarding price of annual membership, the cheapest options are National Trust for Scotland, which with ongoing membership also allows free entry to NT properties. Similarly Cadw gives access to English heritage and Historic Scotland. Never had a problem with access to any of the properties..our Cadw membership has just renewed at £54 for senior couple, much cheaper than price you mentioned for English Heritage.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 года назад +4

      Yes, true, but I'm English and I like to support properties in my own country, of which there are many more that need our support. We carried on paying throughout the Lockdown for that reason.
      It's £92 for joint senior membership of English Heritage, we saved that in just three visits. Also many of the CADW properties we have found don't allow dogs in one way or another, like Conwy or Caernarfon Castles.

    • @BobEarnshawMoHo
      @BobEarnshawMoHo  2 года назад

      Just checked - senior couple membership of CADW is £71, so not that much difference for us. Family membership is cheaper at £53.

      That's the trouble with reading 200 year old plaques written by people who didn't check their facts properly. Perhaps the oldest in England? 😅
