----- Short History -----
- The Cistercian Order was founded in 1098 at the abbey of Cîteaux, France.
- They formed one of the strictest monastic orders and became very successful in Europe.
- They devoted themselves to prayer and a simple life.
- Founded in 1131 by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow.
- The first church was much smaller than what we see today. And very little of the original remains.
- During the 13th century the Abbey was mostly rebuilt.
- In 1288, the first mass in the rebuilt presbytery was recorded.
- Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk, the then Lord of Chepstow, contributed to the rebuilding and had his coat of arms included in the Abbey’s glasswork.
- King Edward II stayed at Tintern for two nights in 1326.
- During the Black Death in 1349, it became impossible to attract new monk recruits for their own labour, known as the lay brotherhood.
- In the 15th century the abbey was short of money, in part due to the Welsh uprisings under Owain Glyndŵr.
- King Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century.
- In 1536, the Abbot surrendered Tintern to the King.
- The building was granted to the Lord of Chepstow and soon after the lead from the roof was sold and the decay of the buildings began.
- After the Abbey’s dissolution the adjacent area became industrialised. With the establishment of the first wireworks, factories, charcoal production and a lime kiln all nearby. This created a lot of pollution which further damaged the building.
- The ruins of the abbey were inhabited by the local workers.
- During the 18th and 19th century tourism in the area was on the rise. With the Wye Tour being the most popular. With the abbey as one of its most spectacular features.
- In 1901, the abbey was bought by the Crown.
- It was now declared a monument of national importance and archeological work finally began and informed maintenance on the buildings.
- In 1914, it passed to the Office of Works who carried out major structural repairs and reconstructions.
- In 1984, responsibility passed to Cadw.
- Over the years it has featured in a number of paintings reflecting its romantic setting.
- Visited by 70,000 people every year.

Tretower Castle & Court - A Step Back In Time
I went there a few years ago. The grand staircase is unbelievable and the imposing size and grandeur of the castle when standing outside is like being in a lord of the rings film. Amazing place!
One of my ancestors, William de Troublevilla, occurs in the Norman Exchequer Rolls of 1180-95. Payne de Turbeville witnessed the foundation charter of Neath Abbey.
Beautiful video. I'm heading there for a camp tonight
I was thinking of camping there too - how did it go?
@@WildBikeCamper It's a beautiful place for a visit but I don't recommend it in peak summertime tbh. The castle itself is located on a hillside so there are very few flat spots. The few flat spots that are there are just too visible in the farmers field (with sheep all around). The spots that were out of sight were absolutely plastered in forests of nettles and rubble everywhere... It's really not an easily campable spot in any form tbh but you may get better luck in the Autumn once all the nettles have died back.
@@boyzinthewood1 Appreciate the detailed reccy feedback! I'd have dragged my bike over there along the river and pitched by the bank - am thinking the line of trees might be enough of a barrier to keep the sheep at bay? I can 🔪the nettles- As long as it's quiet!
@WildBikeCamper the path was definitely fine for a camp, but it's still in a very open farmers field. Personally, I wouldn't risk it as you've got a very good chance of being spotted if he jumps in his tractor early in the morning. I had a two man tent on me at the time, if you have a single tent or a bivy you'll definitely have more luck there than I did.
@WildBikeCamper just subbed to your channel too 👍

Many historians doubt that the Silures were defeated. Caerwent was built by the Romans FOR the Silures to run as a civitas, and they kept their royal line intact. They had fought the Romans to a standstill for thirty years, easily the most dangerous tribe faced by the Romans in Britain, as Tacitus admitted. Some believe the two sides came to a peace treaty, signed at Cardiff, in Welsh Caerdydd, the City of the Treaty or Agreement.
I was going through my family history tree, and this is my grandfathers side of the family I looked up my ancestor William uvedale 😂
I had ancestors who ruled the area penrhyn is in
Stayed here as a cub scout in mid 80s officially old af
Haven’t been in for over 30 years.🤦🏻
Excellent video. 10 mins away for me.👍 I've been subbed for ages. Been a while since your last one.
My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Chepstow Castle from the US in 2015, and this video shows such beautiful views of it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice presentation. 👍 Ah the old days were a common cold would put you in the grave.lol
It gone now think it happend November 2023 but only thing they wont knock down is Church and memorial headstones it pretty sad tho.😢 They are buliding new homes around it and think they add gym and others like that aswell
Rudolph Hess, was held here after flying to Scotland for his so called peace talks ? Remember my Dad taking us here late 50s / early 60s, it was in a better state of repair then...maybe one more visit !l
You forgot to mention the greatest knight William Marshall resided there and also added to the Castle's fortifications
I grew up here
My last name is Bolton… we’ve always been curious as to if our roots somehow connected here
Absolutely magnificent footage and place. Thank you so much for filming. Stunning Gower ♥️👌
Beautifully filmed, thank you.
Not before time!! I've watched the decay for years, but, frustratingly, sweet sod all I could do about it. It must NOT be allowed to disappear. I'll join whatever to help in whatever way I'm still able to.
I would love to see it up close.

When I lived in Wales I lived close to three Welsh Castles. Castle Coch. Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff Castle. Other Welsh Castles were not to far away also
Crazy how he can be nice and welcoming to people but beats up and subjects his ex girlfriend’s to emotional and physical abuse she’s exposed him on TikTok the coward
Phenomenal scenery 🔥🔥
At 3.23 the slide has the wrong spelling, photograph.
Are you able to go look around here , been through drumlin hundreds of times but never seen this .
Hi. It’s not open to the public unfortunately. We got special permission to film. But they do run events there and you can contact them for more information.
There’s a link in the description
So, conclusion, the best of castles that Wales has to offer is a bunch of ruins. Ain't that a bummer.
Stunning ruins that offer the most fabulous views of the Welsh countryside!
So what did you expect? New builds. You do know how old these are right?
You could visit Germany where they built some fantasy Disney castles in the modern era that served no military purpose. And hundreds of castles would be more than a 'bunch'
@@Darrenski Really? Long toes? About every country in Europe has medieval castles, mate. Furthermore I know most important castles in Wales on the border were destroyed in history after England took over, just didn't expect there would be nothing left, anywhere. As I said, bummer.
@@Darrenski are you for real? A castle perhaps, not a hill where one used to stand. You do know there are plenty of castles that still stand, right, from the same damn period you seem to glorify. You can be proud of your history without trying to sell a hill as a castle. Okay?
CALDICOT should definitely be number 1…. Chepstow 2,
King Arthur was Welsh!
There was no such thing as Wales or Welsh then. If he even existed. He was king of the Britons not the Welsh, and other locations like Cornwall, Glastonbury and Scotland also have their own claims to that. You're simply going off that book written by those two guys years ago where someone found a silver cross. That is literally the only supposed evidence. And it's a subject I've been researching for over 40 years so I know nobody can make such a claim. If so then provide your evidence
i was born near caerphilly castle,love the place
Such a picturesque place, this looks spectacular! The shadows on the ground from the ruins are so beautiful and add an extra touch to this video!
Caerphilly even has a dragon pit!
It certainly does
Superb photography
Thank you
I was hoping there would be short narrative about each castle.
314
Beautiful collection. Like that you take us inside as well. Visited 7 of them before the age of drones but it's so much better from the air.
10 Castell Gwyn 9 Castell Margam 8 Castell Weble 7 Castell Carreg Cennen 6 Castell Cas-gwent 5 Castell Cil-y-coed 4 Castell Cydweli 3 Castell Rhaglan 2 Castell Caerffili 1 Castell Caerdydd
what no manorbier or pembroke? you obviously did not go far enough west,carew would also be a contender
Shame drone pilot flew illegally over most as these castles have no fly zones over them!
Bs
You can fly any drone less than 2lbs I think it is anywhere outside a flight path. Book uo on drone laws
@@Darrenski I am afraid in UK you cant. There is an association called National Trust and unless agreed for business purposes by them, they have a blanket ban over national monuments. You can fly if you take off or land from public ground as not all of their sites have a blue restriction active. Seems you need to book up. Thanks for your reply though.
Excellent presentation, great drone shots, I bet CADW really loves you, how about Manorbier, Pembroke. Tretower, Castle Coch, Ogmore, Coity, Newcastle (Bridgend), Newport and the host of others in the next edition..
no mention of the green lady- the ghost of a lady said to have fallen in love with a monk and imprisoned said to look out for her love
The trip is wonderful of great wallace monument, its nice and splendid! Fantastic and relaxing for a walk tour! It is so enjoyable to be in there! Like!
Great video, great castle! Are there any remains of the whitewash shich gave the castle its name?
Brilliant pancakes at the end of the entrance in cafe!
