I’m a distant cousin of the Percy’s’ I’d love to visit someday!
first time i heard of bottle dungeons. know of any other castles with bottle dungeons? couldn’t find any.
What a fantastically informative video, can't wait to visit in September!
My wife and I came for a visit last Fall. As a Percy, I’ve grown up intrigued about the family history and Alnwick Castle. We found the Castle to be quite fascinating but the Gardens and the town of Alnwick were equally charming! There are historical landmarks all throughout and the people and establishments are very pleasant! It may be all in my head but in many ways I sure felt at home…

My husband and my daughter are both descendant s of the Percy family, I'm excited that someone finally took on this project
WATCHING FROM PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fun fact: this is where Harry Potter was filmed
The word Oubliette triggerred horrible anxiety. After long thinking, i think Ive narrowed it down to my fear of the David Bowie movie Labyrinth
More studying though before I ever even embark... Lord knows; Ayuda mè*
Will do, for real*
Can't wait to go...
9:47 well, it was much later that dungeons were in lower levels. They were often in one of the highest rooms in the Don Jon because it makes it more difficult to escape.
Wonderful
Glorious
There is a small lift next to the China corridor. The staff here are wonderful and mobility scooters are available for use in both the Castle and also for the Gardens. The Castle and Gardens get 5 Stars from me.
Thoroughly enjoyable interview. Henry "Hotspur" Percy is my 20th great grandfather and the last in the male line leading to me. I am an American that enjoys my connection to British history.
@@yeussean If you mean how did I trace my ancestry to him it was accidental. He is descended from King Henry III and so am I. Not uncommon at all. Lots of research but the path is there for those who look.
Are you a Pierce ? I am and very interested
No but my sister married a Pierce. Her daughter is a professional genealogist. If you want more info I will send you my email. Mark
I am also a descendent of the Percy family. My grandfather loved to say we were descendants of Hotspur…My name is Joseph Percy and we are likely distant cousins.
@@jvincent2870 Yes, we must be, very distant!
Wondering if there are any secret passageways? Really like this tour! Thank you for making this👍
Come on you Spurs !!😉
northumberland = nord terra umbra.
Thanks for sharing. Really beautiful castle. Enjoyed your video
Its always amazing to see a castle not destroyed by Cromwell, or deconstructed by the local townsfolk for use in their buildings.
I was there yesterday. I was blown away by the dining room especially. I walked around it and took it all in for quite a while. The room feels quite vast when you're in there, and the colour and decorations are breathtaking. Absolutely stunning. Leaves you with a special feeling.
I so wish to see all of the castles across the world I ABSOLUTELY love them
I was directed here to see this video after watching Downton Abby S5 E9 where it was featured. I wish this video showed more of the inside of the castle.
Coming from Norway, a visit to Alnwick some day is on my ‘100’ list. This part of England has such an overwhelming amount of integrated history between the brutal people invading from the north that are my ancestors and all the other tribes, cultures etc that eventually merged there over time.
Thanks for this interesting video. I was born and brought up in Alnwick and went to Brownies in the old Guest Hall in the castle as well as going there for the Duchess's Girls Grammar School speech day every year so it brought back lots of memories, especially of playing in the outer bailey and going down into the dungeon! . My great grandfather was a coach builder and he did an early restoration of the coach in the late 1800s. Now the castle shop sells my full colour book Harry Hotspur - Border Knight, a short biography of the character immortalised by Shakespeare (he got it all wrong).
QUI SONT LA POUR LE TRAVAIL DE LEHUEDE ZEBI
jte jure il force avec c'est devoir bizarre la
I saw this just because this was the castle in the first 2 Harry Potter movies...
It has been used also for other films MacBeth, Mary Queen of Scots, Robin of Sherwood among others including Downton Abbey.
anybody here to see comparisons of harry potter
Thank you for making decent and interesting video of Alnwick Castle. Some people think everyone are only interested of the Alnwick because Harry Potter movies. I've passed dozens mainly American done Harry Potter Alnwick videos Yuck.
Manners cost nothing
This was very well done, thank you! It lifts my heart to know that this estate has been in one family for 700 years and is still the family home! It is a credit to them that they have not only managed to retain ownership but have maintained it so well.
What an absolute pleasure & privilege to be able to enjoy this magnificent tour on line. So very grateful to Alnwick Castle, Mr. Daniel Watkins & the Percy family for this. Truly, a treat.
Considering I used to work here, I have never seen the actual residential part of the castle, or taken a tour 😅
I, a full grown adult, *DREAM* of working in a place such as this... Must've been pretty incredible! Hope it was a good experience :)
@@obcl8569 it was pretty fun yeah, I only worked in the restaurant though, but I have fond memories
Ooo was there any paranormal activity ? X
@@michellepybus8108 Any place that has been there a long time is bound to have something going on !
So many informations about Alnwick Castle
The best tour video I have seen! I particularly like all the information provided. Please make more!
Call me old fashioned but isn't 3 halves what we used to call thirds.
Pottah?
Exactly... The great hall, dungeons, grounds, and towers had all been used in the films. As a matter of fact the castle actually housed the production staff and engineers while filming was done there.
I'm surprised there haven't been any documentaries about it!
This history is brutal and gruesome. To think Harry Potter was filmed there.. is insanity.
Think of that as the place's redemption. It is incredible this castle is still being used for important functions today, just like the Great Wall of China is still a PLA training and air defense outpost.
And robin of sherwood
its very good indeed with lots of interesting information. The best so far.
nice tour! the place is amazing! thx for sharing I love it!
