Yeah, they were pretty impressive. I especially liked the bits in the tall staircase hall with the colourful ceiling. They'd asked us on the tour not to film too low as there were still college students/staff around which is why I mostly filmed the ceilings etc in most rooms. To be fair, most of the stuff at a lower level had been removed apart from chimneypieces anyway, so you didn't miss much. Thanks again for joining me on my tootle around, Adam :)
I really enjoy your tours. The history of the Wentworth estates is fascinating, I'm very familiar with Wentworth-Woodhouse, it's a palace, I always wondered about the castle. I always thought these huge estates were entailed and the property and title both went to the heir. I know they are near to each other and as they were trying to outdo one another I was wondering if you can see one from the other. Thanks for sharing, love it.
I don't think you can quite see one from the other. I think it was said that Wentworth Woodhouse was over the other side of the hill that you can see whilst looking out at the view from where the temple is near the South front of this house. I did go to Wentworth Woodhouse the following day so I'll be putting that video up in the coming weeks when I get the chance to edit it. I even went to the garden centre next door to find a couple of things there which were originally part of the Wentworth Woodhouse gardens. Thanks again, Adam 🙂
Yeah, I never imagined that the grounds were so big before I got there. The place really exceeded my expectations. I would definitely visit quite often if I was local, as the place has a lovely feel to it with great views. Many thanks for watching again, always appreciated, Adam :)
You're very welcome, I enjoyed making it. It's a lovely place with some nice views. Thanks for watching and stopping by to leave a nice comment, it's much appreciated. Adam :)
The views of the trees from top of Stainborough Castle make me feel the history of the place - The first view of the house from Lady Lucys Walk & that glass house, wow! I didn't like the statue there but any denial of past history, to my mind, is a mistake. Stuff happens etc etc etc.... Nice shot of the drinks & snacks vending machine at 33:42 & glorious pipework at 33:50 - Great shots of ceilings etc & seriously, it was quite a relief to get to 39:36 😊 The view from the Earls Seat at 45:40 is stunning & your commentary re the 'nice sheep' is refreshingly observed. The dead tree as you approach the Azalieah garden is cool...they used to 'plant' 'dead' trees when creating landsacapes, ie Capability Brown, as I'm sure you're aware. But perhaps not as you said you'd not much to say about it once you'd passed it? 52:17 - The Duke of Argyle Monument - As a Campbell my eyes opened wide, seriously! Love the view at 55:54 & all the Follys that follow! Excellent video 👍😊
Firstly, thanks a load for taking an interest in my videos, and I can tell that you've obviously watched all of this one! Actually, for some reason, I wasn't aware that they used to plant dead trees. I am now though, so thanks for that, and I'm now armed with that information if I come across similar in the future. Yes, the house interior was definitely a mish mash of styles and ages, but I thought it would be interesting to capture a few of the ultra modern bits as well as the older bits just to show what it's really like in there at the moment. Was quite interesting just to have a look around anyway and see what state it was in, haha. I was a big fan of the gardens and parkland here and would recommend them for a nice afternoon stroll. Many thanks again, Adam 🙂🙂
No worries. Yeah, I noticed they had some house tours going on this year so I thought I would go along and see what it was like in there whilst checking out the gardens and grounds. Thanks for watching again, Adam 🙂
Oh yes! I went to Wentworth Woodhouse the next day. I'll be editing and uploading a video of that day in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
Fabulous little toodle around , couldn't get over the amount of craved plaster reliefs this house has

Thank you for another great look round. The grounds are vast, much bigger than I expected and like a hero you walked miles to record it. Super job!

@@AdamExploresBritain Yes, the gardens are superb & I'd love to visit!
Thanks for sharing this Adam - always wanted to see inside the house, never had the chance when its been open - got some great shots in there 🙂

Can combine with a trip to the nearby Wentworth Woodhouse
Oh yes! I went to Wentworth Woodhouse the next day. I'll be editing and uploading a video of that day in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching, Adam :)
