Usk Castle, located in Monmouthshire, Wales, is a historically significant fortress with origins dating back to the Norman invasion of Wales. The initial construction of the castle began around 1120 under the direction of Richard de Clare, a prominent Norman lord.
The castle was strategically built on a hill overlooking the River Usk, which provided both a defensive advantage and control over a vital communication and transportation route in the region.
The castle's architecture evolved over the centuries, with significant expansions and modifications reflecting the changing needs and fortunes of its occupants. Key features include the original Norman motte-and-bailey design, later enhanced with stone fortifications, including a great hall, a gatehouse, and multiple towers.

Super awesome sharing. Wonderful week. 66 bic like 👍🏻 😊
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 😊

Beautiful castle 🏰
Great views ❤
Mesmerizing 😊
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. 👍😊🇨🇦
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.
The gardens around the castle are stunning! I love the inside of the tower. It's absolutely wonderful. 😊
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.
Very nice beautiful sharing 👍💕💙❤️🫶💗🦋🍃.,
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
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 ❤❤
Hi Alessa beautiful video and place it is big garden 💚 thank you so much for sharing 😃 a big like 👍
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!
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
That was great. Been right up to that castle a number of times while out cycling but never actually gone inside 🤷🏻♂️

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 ❤
Hi Alessa and Brett,

The castle owner's investment is remarkable...
The purpose for this castle USK means significant..protecting the country from invasion....
Thank you always for educating me, Alessa and Brett. You Nailed it...see you later

A genuinely magical site. Wonderful video as always.
Nice video friend, beautiful place is really incredible ❤
Yet again fantastic video, brilliant 🎉
Thank you! Cheers David, really do appreciate your encouragement!
Beautiful ruins! I love the tour👍🏼
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~
Cool place - went to my list!
Great tour.. Beaútiful. 👍💯😁🤗✌️🏞️
Beautiful castle my friend!
Hi Alessa and Brett. Sadly we won't be able to make your premieres the next several weeks as we're currently in northern Canada. But, well watch ASAP in the evenings back in the motel.
@TravelingTramps not a problem lovely dave and Kathy. Hope you're trip around N Canada is as fun as can be! What a trip! Have always wanted to visit there. Eat plenty of maple syrup for us hehe. XxX
Wow1 what a place to live in i'm well jealous lol brilliant work as always
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
I could have almost shouted and you’d hear me from there 🤣, when I filmed this there was no entry unless you were a member… but I’ve read something recently that it may have changed, did you manage to go in?
Haha, that's brilliant Steve, you live in a beautiful area! We did indeed, we paid a suggested donation of £4 (quite happily I might add) and had the pleasure of experiencing the castle! It's only open on certain days as they do quite a lot of weddings there. I think Sunday's they are always open to visitors! Well worth it in our opinion. Come back from 3pm today if you like and you can get a glimpse of the interior as I've seen your aerials over the site! :D
@@PinnedonPlaces oh I intend on watching 👀🫡
