That was great. Been right up to that castle a number of times while out cycling but never actually gone inside 🤷🏻♂️ I will not 👍❤️
Beautiful castle and gardens. Really interesting to watch and lovdly footage and music. 😊 Have a lovely weekend ❤
lovely Abbey x
Great place! I tried to visit twice and each time it was closed.
such beautiful ruins of the Usk Castle! from the walkway to the entrance gate (the Norman gate house), and the well kept grounds and garden, everything looks so picturesque. as usual, the information that you provided, and the narration is so impressive. thank you for sharing.
Lovely looking abbey 😊
Isn't it just! ❤️❤️
Super awesome sharing. Wonderful week. 66 bic like 👍🏻 😊
It was a large site in its Day, look forward to seeing the footage.👍👍
Yes it was. Amazing place to explore. The video is up on the channel for the walkthrough, and the link here takes you directly to the drone footage. Thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/eyfC_Sdn5cs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PinnedonPlaces
Looks a gooden reminds us of Rievaulx here in North Yorkshire 👍❤️
Ooo Rievaulx yes! Loved your video on it with Jilly in the 'bath' haha! Always makes me laugh! X
Hi Alessa. The grounds of the castle are very nicely maintained and the castle is of course beautiful. I enjoyed hearing about the treasure tower and the history of the castle ruins. Thank you for another wonderful tour. 👍😊🇨🇦
Visited today 02/07/2024. Amazing grounds, well worth a visit! Great video Btw. 🕊
Glad you enjoyed it! Although not alot there, it was cool to wander around and imagine. Take Care!
This one is closer to us than Denbigh and we've never been! We've tried countless times, but this one closes over winter! Ah views over Rhyl!! 😂. Oo it's quite intact. We need to visit. We read about Edward having the river diverted for his own means when we were at the mouth of the river in Rhyl a few weeks back. Entitled much! This castle has a touch of Harlech about it! Cool tale about the princess!! Oo and it's haunted too! You've sold it! Amazing drone shots as always. Cheers 🍻
100% it did remind us of Harlech also. Loved this place, was empty just how we like it 😂
Catch up time!! This castle isn't too far from us. We really enjoyed our visit here - Denbigh is a bit hilly though!! This brought back memories of our visit. You provided many more facts though! The views are amazing from there. Cheers 🍻
Definitely Hilly, but worth the view and explore around the Castle. 😊📌❤️
Hi Alessa beautiful video and place it is big garden 💚 thank you so much for sharing 😃 a big like 👍
Beautiful ruins! I love the tour👍🏼
Lived in Denbigh most of my life and played around the castle as a kid. I must have climbed almost all walls of the ruined castle with my mates during my younger years. And I must say, I have been to the castle on many nights and never encountered any hauntings at all. Don't know anyone who has tbh. Brilliant place to visit though
That's totally fair enough! What amazing ruins to have fun in, what really shocked me is the size of the castle itself, from the outside it doesn't look as impressive as inside that's for sure! Will be returning for another wander and walk around the walls! Thanks so much for commenting!
Beautiful old ruins with lovely gardens, Alessa and Brett. We enjoyed the tour and learning some of the history. As always stunning from above!
Another nice location 👌 Beautiful Usk Castle impressive looking garden's & old towers to look inside. some nice views too . Nice weather it to . Thanks for showing us around Pinned on Places
Very nice beautiful sharing 👍💕💙❤️🫶💗🦋🍃.,
The gardens around the castle are stunning! I love the inside of the tower. It's absolutely wonderful. 😊
WoW! Absolutely Stunning And Breathtaking! I Loved it!
Wow1 what a place to live in i'm well jealous lol brilliant work as always
Sorry I missed the premiere yesterday. The garden area looks amazing. It looks like, it was once a huge castle. The drone footage over the area looks stunning.
Hi guys wow the grounds to this place and the walk up are amazingly beautiful! Love all the topiary and a great amount of pew with a view to park your bum and just take in the beauty of this place! Girl power to Elizabeth and wow that is some Christmas spread! As if they found all those bones 😮 as always stunning, beautifully narrated, loved the murials on the ceilings! Look how green and lush it looks from above! Awesome ❤
I have just subscribed and have now watched three of your vidoes. You do a wonderful job, both verbally and photogenically. That stairwell in Slains Castle looks very scary!
Thank you! Appreciated. We loved Scotland and can't wait to return. Slain's was one of the bucket list Castles we had to visit. Definitely not fond of climbing stairs but the views were worth it!
Hi Alessa & Brett, what a beautiful setting. The round tower was a great strategic invention. Good for attack and defence. Elizabeth sounds like a very determined lady. What a wonderful Christmas feast - peacock, heron, beef, mutton and salmon! Wow! Very gruesome to hear that around 300 were executed and beheaded and that evidence of this was revealed in the amount of bones discovered. I'm impressed by the topiary in the gardens. and I loved the murals within the pergola. I'm not surprised this is a popular wedding destination. Thank you for showing us around this picturesque castle and telling us about its history. A very enjoyable and interesting vlog ❤❤
Beautiful castle my friend!
Cool place - went to my list!
Nice video friend, beautiful place is really incredible ❤
Hi Alessa The castle seems very well-maintained at my first glance Thick walls, engineering to the river, and much more ... Sorry I had to watch and listen to your history narration a couple of times ...very enjoyable Wow wealth and power...the purpose of the castle is to protect? How grumous stories along with history! Alessa and Brett, Continue inspiring the world. Superb! I am very fortunate to be at your premiere Well done. Bravo! BTW US will have Independence Day holiday...sorry I may miss your prem since I will be out of town.
The most which you think would have smelled terrible! Is not the case, as the effluents were natural no anti biotics! And thousands of carp fish cleaning the waters, and a welcome supplement for the residents.
Beautiful place to visit. Great architecture which perfectly fits into surrounding 👍☺️
what a beautiful place to visit, loved hearing all about the history. Great video 🙂
Hello Alessa and Brett, this was a beautiful place to visit, loved the gardens, would love to visit. Loved your soothing narration Alessa and the history was interesting listening. The views were stunning. The drone footage was brilliant, thank you for sharing, take care x Julie and Tony x
Beautiful castle 🏰 Great views ❤ Mesmerizing 😊
What a fantastic tour of Usk. I would love to visit the area of mOnmouthshire as there is so much history attached! This is such a pretty unique castle and you've done a fantastic job in showing it off. Wow, just wow. Thank you
I agree one of the most picturesque grounds and castle's...great hearing you give all this history Alessa and double WOWOW Brett this drone footage has been the best yet! Eating peacock hasn't been on any of my menu's as of late but I see they made some topiary's in remembrance interesting ! I would love to get married in that setting, wonder what the charge would be for a 50th anniversary...😂 we'll be celebrating in March, wouldn't that be an awesome venue!😍 again, sorry I missed the time change, I wasn't on my game this week! Have a great week ahead you two and thank you for another beautiful castle!
Sorry I missed this premiere today Alessa and Brett, it was way earlier I am thinking and I totally missed it...so sorry I didn't realize it, I took for granted it was the normal time watching now...looks like it's an absolutely beautiful place~
Great tour.. Beaútiful. 👍💯😁🤗✌️🏞️
A genuinely magical site. Wonderful video as always.

Yet again fantastic video, brilliant 🎉

It’s a beautiful place this 😊 the grounds were really lovely and I liked all the plants growing on and near the ruins. Plenty of benches too so you can enjoy the view 😊
Thank you so much Yasmin, appreciate you joining the premiere, it's so peaceful and tranquil a true hidden gem of a castle! Thank you again!
Hey guys!!! Lori tuned in whilst I was on the phone with a UK friend ironically! Heard you're going to be 1pm eastern time going forward (9pm UK).
Hey Chuck, thank you Lori, appreciate you commenting! We have only temporarily changed the premiere today to 3PM our time and in a fortnight because of the Football that is on which is at the same time as our usual time of 6PM BST, :D Have a great week!
@@PinnedonPlaces summer is tough. Lots of stuff going on... I know Lori and I will be out and about quite a bit, so we'll probably be watching post premiere. That's a bummer but the 4K is post premiere anyway so that's kinda ok in it's own way! Cheers guys. Chuck
