Guys its a Castle so I am definitely subscribing. You've captured it amazingly well, and the commentary just adds loads to the video. Thanks for sharing from a new subscriber
Would love to take the credit but all we did was point a microphone at the spring. It actually makes that noise. It does sound a bit like lighting gel being crinkled but we didn't need to go to all that effort. 😀
I'm creating a castle in a book series I've been writing, and I think I finally found the one I'll be basing it off of! Great exploration of the cave, thank you for making this video!
So far this is the best castle that I have been too. Mainly because of the location and that underground spring. Although I managed to hit my head in the tunnel. Another nice video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. The cave is really the best thing about Carreg Cennen. The castle itself is best viewed from a distance, in my opinion, because of the cragginess. It has the right look.
@@MostlyCastles will be checking out the others shortly, your videos are the kind of thing sadly I feel we don't get so much of on the BBC anymore so amazing to see people with such passion go out and do it themselves !
Thank you. As people who grew up with the BBC as it was this is lovely to hear. We dumped our TV about a decade ago because there was never anything on that we wanted to watch. Speaking occasionally to people who work in TV, especially documentary departments this is very common with programme-makers. A lot are making content even they don't want to watch. We love your stuff by the way. 😀
Great video. Its been a long time since I visited this one. We did some sword training there in the courtyard way back in 2004 I think it was, and one of the fighters was de-burring their training sword of jaggy edges. Some old folks thought he was sharpening it and were all worried. LOL. Beautiful location, just imagine it all pristine and decked out with banners and flags. And there would have been loads of farm animals in that enclosure. Great!
That is one heck of a place to have sword training! I can only imagine those what those folk were thinking would happen 😂 It would be nice if there was a window in time that you could look through to see what it was like- I think that’s part of the appeal of ruins; it requires some imagination to work out what it would have been like
Carreg is similar to the Irish word for rock "Carraig". Interesting how many words are shared despite being two different branches of celtic languages. :)
Apparently, according to Wikipedia (and when is that ever wrong?), Castell Carreg Cennen translates from the Welsh to castle (on the) rock (above the) Cennen, so it sounds like you are spot on and the word jumped St. George's Channel one way or the other and changed its spelling slightly. You are right it's fascinating stuff. Thanks for letting us know. 😀
@@MostlyCastles so now I'm wondering about Ailsa Craig, which is a solid chunk of granite. Used to make curling stones, but I digress.. also the word crag, which seems related to this musing about rocks.
Is it July when you are filming this? Wool Coats and hats in July? I'll be there early Sept and wondering if I need to bring warmer clothes than I thought I would need...
We filmed this in November or December along with quite a few others, if memory serves, hence the warm clothing, then edited and uploaded them over the following year. I expect you will be fine in September with much lighter attire. It's quite a trek up to the castle so that will warm you up nicely. I hope you enjoy your visit.
There are several reasons why we thought that was a bad idea. You don’t want your phone near the microphones- otherwise you pick up interference. Additionally camera torches burn down the phone batteries very quickly and you absolutely would not want to get stuck down there with no light. Also, you drop a torch- it keeps on working- you drop a phone and, potentially goodbye phone, goodbye light. Even with a protector. And it is quite uneven down there, so with carrying a camera and trying to keep your balance, dropping something is likely.
Maybe they hide in the cave you can’t see it unless have light maybe a fall back stand and fight in a narrow passage can’t swing you sword but you can defend somehow force enemy to face you one by one Rambo way for example
Starving in a castle mmmm wonder did they eat the dead,like they often did at sea,and the natural defences there then they could hold out indefinitely,cannibalism eat those guys annoying you mmmm😮they go to fill their helmet with water and Then bump their head on their way out,😂

Great sound effects for the spring!
Would love to take the credit but all we did was point a microphone at the spring. It actually makes that noise. It does sound a bit like lighting gel being crinkled but we didn't need to go to all that effort. 😀
@@MostlyCastles No. I mean ian's sproinnggg effect! Never mind..
Oh. That makes more sense. I trained especially to make that noise by watching the Magic Roundabout as a child. 😀 I knew it would pay off eventually.
Great choice , very interesting, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to say so 😊
Love your castle vlogs. 😃😃
I very much enjoy this one, the cave passage was most interesting, thanks.
It was a wonderful novelty to be able to go down it too

You are most welcome, glad we were able to help you out with your research!
We Wish you all the best in your literary journey 🙂
Love your castles 🤩🤩👏
There are some truly fantastic castles out there 😁
Thank you so much !
You're welcome!

Really interesting video, well put together and with great presenters

Way cool, One to go high up on my to do list.

@@MostlyCastles Another lovely video btw. A nice watch with my cup of coffee :)

Sounds like you have that right Liz. 😀
another good one guys. i think i might have to go cheak this one out looked an amazing place.
I would for sure, it’s pretty cool. Take a torch though, also try to go on a good weather day.
@@MostlyCastlesDoes England have any days without rain? May I ask, what do you call a good weather day?

I don't understand forgot torches, your phone has a torch on it

Anything is possible 🙂
You can't live there. There is no more roof. It looks like there are no rooms to see either. Oh well.
