Way back in the 1950's there was a first floor. As kids we used to play hide and seek. We never defaced the building back then. The bowl shaped depressions had metal grills for hay to be held for the horses to feed from. The stables were on either side on the ground floor. There were rooms on the first floor. The first floor was all interconnected. Such a shame it has been so vandalised.
Thank you for the information, the bowl shaped depressions had me wondering. I thought the stables were next to the clock. Your explaination seems more reasonable and you were there when the place wasn't so run down so know quite a bit more about the history. ATB, Damian
In my opinion one of the best videos you have put together a lot of work went into this one FW. Very interesting, camera & drone work, commentary all outstanding. atvb t ..
I tell you what mate! This video is as good if not better than anything I've watched on the history channel. So professionally put together and I would presume on only a fraction of the budget it costs to make some of the crap on the history channel! So engrossing from start to end! You're a real star my friend!
Only just seen this Damian. What a fantastically put together video there. We love a bit of history and you covered everything and more in this video. A truly enjoyable watch and a true credit to our community. All the best from both of us :)
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the UK except maybe one of the Scottish islands - Northumberland is well underpopulated and I like it that way. Great video and a really neat camp too - very well hidden. I was expecting to see you swinging a metal detector at the end while walking through that very likely looking field, lol
Great inter-action with the viewer mate, makes your vids very watchable. Always interesting history with a dabble of humour thrown in, most enjoyable......................cheers,Stu.
what a great informative video. so well done . love the history, always makes me sad when the give a listing to a building then just let it fall down. cheers
Wowee Damian! Your drone camera really adds greatly to that majestic place there. I'll not likely ever leave my village except to the surrounding mountains, but I enjoy the places you share with us! Thank you.
Cracking video Damian, love your history /bushcraft lessons. Maybe one day heritage lottery will fund a restoration project it also sad to see the vandalism some people have no respect. By the way Damian, it was a pleasure to meet you at the Northeast bushcraft meet. ALB Mark
Glad to see ya back mate. Brilliant video. Very good content and camera work. Also glad to see you still using the buddy burners. Thanks for sharing bud.
This super phenomenal bushcarft channel and the video he’s makes are great way to help people learning their bushcraft skills and to be education about outdoors activities and I am glad to support this awesome man and experience exciting experience bushcraft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀⭐️⭐️⭐️🤴🤴🤴
Cant beat a hot oxo brew in the bush. Lovely, i do it all the time in winter when stalking. Great video Damian and good effort mate. Well done. Cheers Moose.
Not only are you a wildcamper extraordinaire and a very talented and skillful video maker, I now discover your prowess on the guitar and vocals. I couldn't comment on the music video itself so I thought I would clag this comment here. More power to the stuff you do mate. It's all about the views and the music - Atb
Thank you, I have re uploaded the video on my other channel as I am trying to keep the camping/bushcraft stuff separate th-cam.com/video/ONbTsULSs2M/w-d-xo.html
I like seeing places with you. I never would have seen this place on my own. Not enough time to go everywhere in one lifetime. Shame really. It's too bad this couldn't have been preserved better. Cost a fortune though. Thanks for the wonderful video.
Thanks Damien, brilliant video! Really interesting history. Used to play round that area when I was a kid visiting family. Keep them coming! Great photography.
been through cresswell a few times and seen the outline of the tower but never been in,,thanks for the history of the place mate.another cracking video,,ATB Richie
Great drone footage mind. Very swift. Nice history lesson. I’ve passed that without knowing it was even there. Wey ye bugger. Hope they get it done up. Shame about all the graffandalisms (new word invented by me) great stealthy set up. Looked very relaxing cooking ya bovrils. I like a nice bovril now and again. Much better than ockso... good to see ya back oot mate. Atb.
Hi Mate, its a real gem hidden away in the woods, shame about the graffiti like you say but well worth a visit. Bovril is for winner's, I love it while watching youtube videos in bed, dipping my bread crust in and getting crumbs in the bed. ATB Andy.
Another excellent video Damien . There are not many people on TH-cam that can combine history and bushcraft as good as yourself and keep the viewer glued all the way threw 👍👍👍👍Great drone footage great music and very informative ATB Andy
Hi Damian, i found your channel a few months ago, and obviously i had to subscribe haha. I have recently moved to Northumberland from Liverpool. I lived in Ashington but am now in Choppington. I used to wild camp years ago and can't wait to wild camp in Northumberland. The videos you make are so interesting, you have a great knowledge of Northumberland, as well as wild camping. I loved this video in particular as i love the history of old buildings. Your stealth camping was cool too, i've never used a bivvie because like you said it can seem a bit claustrophobic. But still i think i might try it in the future as yours looked totally camoflauged. I've watched quite a few of your videos and like the ones when you camp in Harwood forest. Anyway sorry for going on, haha. Keep up the great work, your videos are amazing and well presented, love listening to the various stories you tell about this area, good stuff. ATB, Marie.
Thank you Jimmy. The meet up at Brockwell wood was excellent, great atmosphere and banter. The owner needs to change her attitude because it stinks and undermines the hard work you have done there. Thank you for a great night at Brockwell Wood mate, ATB, Damian.
I've really missed your videos. What a magnificent mansion and estate that was. It's a shame it had to be torn down, but at least we get to see the remaining structures. And you're right, people don't build like that anymore. As a history buff, I simply adore when you add history to your camping videos, giving me two things I love in one video. And you're a great narrator on the history of the area. Love the ghost stories.
Great video! I love your historic stuff, I live quite close to Northumberland but for some strange reason haven't visited much of it. I will definitely be up there a lot more this year. Can't wait for more. GREAT !!!!
enjoy all your videos mate, for me this is one of your most interesting as I've passed this place god knows how many times and never known anything about it so never gave it much notice, atb Tony.
I'm a Consett lad mate . I've done a lot of walking in county Durham with my old friend,now me 14 year OWLD Jack Russell called Tag , no we walk the field at the end of my street. Old age comes to us all pal. Your videos are class
Great video, with great research on the hall. Made it so much more interesting to watch. And, oxo/bovril cubes always a good bet. Try the green coloured vegetable oxo bud, they are lush as a drink. ATB Dave
nice to see you back and a really interesting vid. Spotted the bivvy straight away. Nice long straight line. Use sticks/branches to push the cam net away from the bivvy and break up the outline.Speaking from a few years experience of cammoing up slit trenches to tanks.
Very good mate, I've had a Static Caravan at Cresswell Towers since 2012 love the place. I used to love going up the Clocktower Woods and down to the Pele Tower. The little Cottage you called is a Bothy and what you called a Conservatory is a Orangery. Really enjoyed the watching of the video especially the Drone footage.
@@Fell_Wanderer did you not stumble across the old Well? When you enter the Stable yard it is on the Right hand side halfway across,hidden in the Foliage. i had visions of some Kid or Dog falling down it and if alone, doesnt bear thinking about mate.
That was excellent Damian, You are really setting a high standard for yourself with each video you bring out. The editing is spot on. Thanks a lot & keep it up. Take care & all the best, Neil.
So beautiful! I love ruins. Nice camera work. I'm always amazed how people abandon beautiful places like this. Europe has such rich history. Here in NW, nothing's been here for more than 100 years. If feels fresh and wild, but a bit lonely too.
Hello Damian: I had never heard of Bovril and looking online, I see it is Banned in USA! I suppose beef bouillon might be similar which we have enjoyed forever! I am learning more about the world on your Channel!
Just got round to watching this Damian .Great story of the White Lady and history of the place .Knew it was there but never got close up to it in detail like you .Well put together and liked the old pic's including the one of old doggerland lol Great stuff ATB Paul
Thank you Paul, the history just adds another dimension to the video. I have been practicing the guitar in me shed for next week. I would love a banjo so we could do some duelling stuff. th-cam.com/video/ONbTsULSs2M/w-d-xo.html
Evening mi friend. Great too see you. What a video, the look around was great. What history is they you could almost here the 🐴 in the yard. It was good of you too take the time to share the historic part of it. An the bivvy was a good 💡. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time buddy 😁. Interesting is not the word you could do lots more videos I guess. An still have a lot too say, never ending. ATVB, Andy
Class video as always and the drone footage was awesome and it was a pleasure to meet you at the brockwell woods meet at the weekend take care buddy and I hope to see you on the next one 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Another interesting video Damian , I enjoyed that . Your videos are always a bit different from the usual wild camping vids on youtube , and have some info and facts thrown in as well . Your stealth camp set up was spot on too , you are the No1 wild camper despite what a certain youtuber might say . Keep doing what your doing , you know it makes sense 🤘 , ATB .
The UK has the most interesting ruins. Can only imagine has beautiful the manor house must have been. Glad the fell wanderer is back with another episode.
my second favourite film you have made damian , really loved the format of this one and the information on cresswell tower since its local to me... but not as good as the one whith the whole chicken cooked in a bin ...lol that was funny as out that one marra ...
Damon, hope you see this comment. In regards your video where you have disabled commenting - mancave = brilliant, guitar and singing = fantastic - mate you are a true YT talent, keep on being you !
Thank you, I have re uploaded the video on my other channel as I am trying to keep the camping/bushcraft stuff separate th-cam.com/video/ONbTsULSs2M/w-d-xo.html

Hi intresting video been doing family tree and found some my ancestors the hagan an sannaghans came from consett Durham really nice people over there so friendly.
awesome video fella, amazing the history that is under the history :) I just uploaded a vid of a church that was rebuilt a few times on a 1000 yr old site, love our old history, mix that with a bit of wild camping and you have a great vid like yours :)
Great video loved the stealth camp set up the camo nets are mint might have to invest in a few of them blended in really well with the surrounding area thanks for sharing atb Iain.😁
Thank you Iain, the stratosphere is a nice bivy and I love it for stealth camping. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you properly at Brockwell, was a bit far gone and missed the opportunity to chat. Great night totally loved it, ATB
Thought you were at cresswell in Nottinghamshire didn’t think I knew those buildings you should try that some day the craggs are worth a look good video anyway
Love me bovril haha,excellent vid yet again,i use a mcdonalds pepper sachet to a instant bovil cup you get from poudshop,ive been long awaiting a return to your kayak adventures,i know you said you retired the mayfly but maybe a new craft,anyway regardless of content or fellow youtube collaberated vids you never fail evertime cheers
I may get a new kayak someday but my heart went out of it after the puncture. Inflatable craft dont last very long and I should have stored it differently but havent got the space to leave it partially inflated. atb and thanks for watching
Damien your best video yet! What a shame those lovely buildings are being left to rot, but compared to the shite we build these days they will last some more. Poison ivy and sycamore trees are a delapated buildings nightmare I know! Surely Cresswell Hall should be snapped up for a Grand design project, what a waste and the structure looks strong enough considering the time it's been left delapated. So Damien are you in contention to replace Ant and Dec, your channel must be up there lol. All the best, Mark 'wild is best'
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this including amazing drone footage. You got me a bit worried when you said the Snugpack Stratosphere isn't that waterproof because I'm planning to buy the Ionosphere. Do you know if the same applies to that? Hope not!
You mis-understood me in the video, the Stratosphere is fully waterproof. If I remember right, the water had pooled on the bottom of the bivi on a flat spot and was concerned it might leak through the outer membrane if left like that. I now pack clothes down the bottom of the bivi so water runs off and doesn't pool on the surface. I've never had problems with water ingress and would think the Ionosphere will be similar as I've only heard good things about Snugpack products. Thanks for watching.
Good to see you back! Nice video and production! But are you a wild camper AND a Historian? Or are you just genuinely interested in History as topic itself? (Like the combo)
HI Damien. Man you should be up for a BAFTA . You remind me of a farmer ? that is a man outstanding in his field sorry about the crap joke hehe really enjoyed that. hope to see you on the street soon. atb chris.
Only just discovered your channel as visiting Northumberland this year. Can I ask what video camera you use? Really worth investing in as it is so clear & you have a good eye..loving your trips ...thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comment, I will checkout those green oxo cubes, atb
One of your best videos to date everything about it was great thank you for putting such great effort into making them.
great vid as always...subbed you to. watched most of your vids . keep it up learnt loads.
Great video Damian, absolutely loving your Drone footage, captured the ruins well, nice camp too. Atb, Trev
nice to see you back and a really interesting vid. Spotted the bivvy straight away. Nice long straight line. Use sticks/branches to push the cam net away from the bivvy and break up the outline.Speaking from a few years experience of cammoing up slit trenches to tanks.
Thanks for the tip its much appreciated, atb
Great stuff Damien. Really enjoyed the vid. Fair play to you getting out and about.
Very good mate, I've had a Static Caravan at Cresswell Towers since 2012 love the place. I used to love going up the Clocktower Woods and down to the Pele Tower. The little Cottage you called is a Bothy and what you called a Conservatory is a Orangery. Really enjoyed the watching of the video especially the Drone footage.
Its a lovely place, so much history almost forgotten in the woods. Thanks for watching.
@@Fell_Wanderer did you not stumble across the old Well? When you enter the Stable yard it is on the Right hand side halfway across,hidden in the Foliage. i had visions of some Kid or Dog falling down it and if alone, doesnt bear thinking about mate.
I never noticed the well but may go back and have a look one day, thanks for the info, atb, Damian.
That was excellent Damian, You are really setting a high standard for yourself with each video you bring out. The editing is spot on. Thanks a lot & keep it up. Take care & all the best, Neil.

top video Damien love the way you put all the history into it definitely do your research buddy
Great video from the ground and from the drone bro also thanks for the history behind where you camped, it sure dates back.
Hello Damian: I had never heard of Bovril and looking online, I see it is Banned in USA!
I suppose beef bouillon might be similar which we have enjoyed forever! I am learning more about the world on your Channel!

Hi intresting video been doing family tree and found some my ancestors the hagan an sannaghans came from consett Durham really nice people over there so friendly.
My wife comes from Consett. People from the North of England are lovely and friendly, thanks for watching..
awesome video fella, amazing the history that is under the history :) I just uploaded a vid of a church that was rebuilt a few times on a 1000 yr old site, love our old history, mix that with a bit of wild camping and you have a great vid like yours :)
Great video loved the stealth camp set up the camo nets are mint might have to invest in a few of them blended in really well with the surrounding area thanks for sharing atb Iain.😁
Thank you Iain, the stratosphere is a nice bivy and I love it for stealth camping. Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you properly at Brockwell, was a bit far gone and missed the opportunity to chat. Great night totally loved it, ATB
Fell Wanderer no worries mate I was a bit far gone myself was in my hammock for 7pm 😂😂😂😂catch you on the next one mate 😁
Thankyou Damian - agree with Sandy - 10/10.
Thought you were at cresswell in Nottinghamshire didn’t think I knew those buildings you should try that some day the craggs are worth a look good video anyway
great video
Nice place mate great vid as usual
Love me bovril haha,excellent vid yet again,i use a mcdonalds pepper sachet to a instant bovil cup you get from poudshop,ive been long awaiting a return to your kayak adventures,i know you said you retired the mayfly but maybe a new craft,anyway regardless of content or fellow youtube collaberated vids you never fail evertime cheers

Cracking video Damian. I often have an oxo drink and like to put a little knob of butter in to.
10 out of 10:)
Sandy
Ill have to try that some time Sandy thanks for sharing about your oxo drink
I remember my nan used to make me oxo drinks. Just last week I got the wife to pick up a jar of bovril so I can take on trips, ideal hot drinks.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into this including amazing drone footage. You got me a bit worried when you said the Snugpack Stratosphere isn't that waterproof because I'm planning to buy the Ionosphere. Do you know if the same applies to that? Hope not!
You mis-understood me in the video, the Stratosphere is fully waterproof.

I now pack clothes down the bottom of the bivi so water runs off and doesn't pool on the surface. I've never had problems with water ingress and would think the Ionosphere will be similar as I've only heard good things about Snugpack products. Thanks for watching.
Aye yi are a cany lad ,brilliant video, atb from Glasgow
Good to see you back! Nice video and production! But are you a wild camper AND a Historian? Or are you just genuinely interested in History as topic itself? (Like the combo)

I grew up along the coast in Newbiggin love from Canada.
I don't think I could move abroad, even though Canada is a lovely place, I would miss home too much. Thanks for watching, atb, Damian.
