I've lived in Senghenydd which is about 4 miles North of Caerphilly Castle since 1964. So many memories as a child during the School Summer holidays sitting on the Green inside the Castle grounds watching the Medieval enactments and other entertainments they had back in the late 60's early 70's. I recall a time probably 1974/75 myself and a few friends were old enough to go on our own to Caerphilly and decided to visit inside the Castle. I remember vaguely we went up one of the spiral staircases and how cold it was even though it was sweltering heat outside. We sat outside on a banking near the leaning tower and a lady in a Green trouser suit passed us, did we jump up and run scared because of hearing stories about the ghost of the Green Lady that walks the Castle grounds 😂😂 Your video is totally amazing, you toured places of the Castle that I've not seen.
Oh my! This is incredible to read. Firstly thank you ever so much for commenting and being so very kind. It's incredible to hear your stories! Hehe I can imagine the lady kn the green gave you a fright, it would me too haha. Caerphilly is just a spectacular castle, we're hoping to head back there at some point this year, thank you again. 😊
Outstanding video, was there at 18, Big summer before Unie. Im 62, remember it quite well. Amazing! We virtually had it to ourselves, rather like your video. Certainly makes me need to return. Thank you so much! Biil, Madison Wisconsin USA
Glad you enjoyed it! Bill, thank you so very much for your kind comments, so incredible that you visited there in your teens, what a place it is! You'd very much enjoy the castle now, the English Heritage have done a fantastic job bringing it to life, thank you so very much for watching our little video! x
Wow, that castle is amazing! It's so hard to imagine such grandeur that long ago. You gave such an excellent and informative tour. OK, OK, this really will be on our must-see list when we travel to Wales!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to comment and watch this video, be sure to checkout the rest of our videos if you enjoy! Best of luck on your travels!
It really was, we were really surprised how beautiful and preserved it was. Thanks so much Mark & Milena :) we appreciate your kind comments and enjoy your videos too! :D
Hello, dear! That's really a fantastic tour. Very fascinating and suggestive. This Castle has a unique charm! Really an interesting experience! Big hug and enjoy the weekend! Renata
Ahh, renata thank you for commenting!!! We loved visiting Caerphilly Castle 🏰 and we are just happy to have brought you along with us! Sending you hugs! Take care
I remember as a boy about 6 years old I went to a couple of castles near where I was born in south Wales. Don’t remember the names of them but I remember seeing them and never forgotten them. I’m 56 years old now and live in Australia. So much wish I could take my son to see what I did as a boy. Thanks for the memories
Oh wow! It's honestly comments like yours that really make this worth doing. Thank you so much. That's amazing you used to live in S Wales, such a wonderful and beautiful part of Wales, we thoroughly enjoyed all our time spent down there with the abundance of castles and ruins to visit. Amazing though that you're now in Aussie. Thank you so very much for the comment!
Good video. I've subscribed to your channel. I'm in Wales on a family holiday next Easter, I'll use your videos to find some cool places for some Drone Adventures.
Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel, we really do appreciate it! and thats fantastic news to hear, there are some wonderful castles in Wales as you'll already know and some amazing scenery for drones! We very much look forward to watching them :D
Hehe, why thank you! Oh no, really? that's a shame, it really was a treat being able to explore on the top of the tower! Thanks for coming across! We appreciate your kind comments! 💗
Glad you enjoyed it, we agree too, we love exploring life back then - makes you more appreciative of the life we have now! Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful comprehensive castle tour and exciting narration, my dear friends. This is a stunning construction and very well restored and preserved. And I always love the drone shots. Fantastic video presentation. 👏👌
Thank you so much as usual you give us the highest complements and we couldn't be more grateful. We appreciate it so much, thanks for coming along with us :D
Wow! Going back to see some of your other videos too. And this one is so cool with the water surrounding it, wow!! Incredible that you were able to tour around inside too. Love the spiral stairs to the top. What a spectacular view from the top. Can’t believe how old this is and how fast it was built. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for bringing us along 😊💜
Thank you so very much!! That's such a kind compliment. Oh wow! 15 minutes walk.. you are so very lucky. Its so striking and majestic! We're planning on revisiting this year :) thank you for watching!
One of my biggest dreams is to visit the UK properly. The last time I visited, I was only able to visit Windsor Castle but I’m so obsessed with the British culture, that I’m looking forward to planning a trip to South Wales one of these days. It looks wonderful! ❤❤❤
I‘m from Wales (although living in Germany now, as you know). I love Caerphilly castle and the surrounding walks- ahhh I need to visit! But until then, thanks for the lovely videos xx
Hehe, wow! that's awesome you're originally from Wales, we absolutely love it there. Ahh, but Germany is more of a dream! :D Hehe, appreciate that so much Lauren, thank you for the kindest comments! xx
Wow, this is just breathtaking to wander through these walls and ruins with you. I've always been a medieval junkie and this is fantastic to watch, can't imagine how much better it is in reality. Thank you for inspiring us to travel to and find places like this!
Ahh, your comment is so so lovely!! We cant recommend walking around ruins/castles and abandoned places enough - there is something so magical about it! and we are just glad we get to share it with you! :D Thanks so much for watching and supporting us :D
I love castles and this one is amazing!!! Great vlog, it's an absolutely beautiful castle and beautifully preserved to show how life used to be in those days.
Thanks for sharing your video. It's very informative.That castle is huge and has an amazing view! There's indeed a lot of places to explore in Wales . 🏴
Thanks so much Maz! We cant thank you enough for such kind comments! If we could, we would spend weeks travelling from South to North - perhaps that could be an adventure for another time :D Take care and hope you enjoy your weekend!
That is an amazing castle, I’d heard of it but didn’t know anything about it, it’s absolutely beautiful and I must visit, thank you for showing us it 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video once again 👍🏼♥️ I hadn’t noticed this when looking through your site. Caerphilly is a great place which I’ve got to know well as I do a lot of work for them regularly fitting all their bat/bird boxes etc. I did a drone in of castle myself.
Liked #77, this might be the best castle in my opinion because the use the water as the first line of defense! This medieval castle looks magnificent. I assume the couetyard was newly renovated? Looks like it was created yesterday. Poet and musician hall looks fantastic too, great way to show off to other noblemen and ladies. Great video 😎👍
Could'nt agree more, i loved visiting Caerphilly, the courtyard was rebuilt in the 15th century, so you could say it was newly renovated for sure! hehe, thank you so much for watching our video and commenting!
@@PinnedonPlaces yes I will definitely visit the castle next time I am up there,you are right it is a really nice town,your video tour is excellent but I will visit it one day ,all the best
Agree with you! It is still very much preserved and it's so cool to be able to go inside and around the castle walls, just wish it was back in the day and we could experience it properly hehe. Thanks for watching!
Oh! What a big one! Great tour as ever. Technical question: at 6.58 we see the shadow of your camera. What camera and handle do you use? I had assumed from the slight fisheye lens that it was a gopro but the shadow tells me otherwise.
Good question! Thank you for asking, so we use the GoPro hero 8 Black with the Hohem Gimbal - honestly such a great bit of kit wouldn't recommend anything else. Would like to update our equipment to shoot in 4K but that's something we're saving up for so we can showcase some of these beauties better! :D
@@PinnedonPlaces I could defiantly use a gimbal. Would save mea lot of timesabalosong footage in postproduction. I went to buy a new camera two months ago and found out that the capacitor shortage is still ongoing, with Sony as good as not making cameras and no new stock anywhere (a7c I was looking for). Let us hope the situation improves.
We're planning on going to those two castells this year. Dinefwr looks particularly striking to me. Do agree with you though! Thank you Paul for commenting.
Love my comments keep vanashing?,loved this video as i always do,cannot wait to go to wales.. stay safe debs. ps this second time i posted on this lovely video,alot my comments keep vanashing lately..debs
We hope you will enjoy Wales like we have Debs, thanks again for your continued support. Not too sure why your comments disappear, we've seen countless comments on our videos from you, unsure why also! Stay safe and take care!

I would like to see castell Dolbadarn repaired or Dinefwr, having more historical significance to the people of Wales.
We're planning on going to those two castells this year. Dinefwr looks particularly striking to me. Do agree with you though! Thank you Paul for commenting.
Wow Nice
Thanks Alviez :)
Was it built during Edward the first reign?
It was indeed, during his reign in the early 13th century - the castle was constructed between 1268-1290 and he was in power from 1272/1307 :)
