    I’m a fairley in the US and just discovered this part of my ancestry. Amazing to see videos made about my family back in the day!

    Fascinating place, I've been there once, (nearly twenty years ago). Still looks the same. Thanks for refreshing the memory 😃

    What a beautiful Castle, did it feel dark or spooky Nick ? Xx

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not really. The crypt felt kinda spooky, but I think that's just psychological knowing that there's bodies down there. Great place to explore!

    What a lovely informative video, thank you 🙂 When my parents lived in Farleigh Hungerford we would go to a candle-lit carol service in the chapel, it was magical The crypt still scares me! Hungerford bridge in London is named after the Hungerford family, as they owned a house on the site of Charing Cross station.

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Gosh, that candle-lit carol service sounds wonderful! The crypt is not a nice place to be, I agree! Thank you very much for watching 🙂

    I have to say that this is not one of my favorite places! I did enjoy spending time with you but this place is too dark for me! Thank you for showing it all to us!

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree! It definitely had a dark atmosphere to it. Thanks for watching!

      Oh, fabulous! Not too far from the beautiful Rocky Mountains if I'm right?

    • @jodimusicherself
      @jodimusicherself 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @walkingthewyrd I'm near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I can drive 20 minutes and be in the mountains. I love living here. If you ever get to visit, I wouldn't recommend winter. We frequently measure snow in FEET.😂

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @jodimusicherself oh wow! That sounds absolutely beautiful! We don't get much snow here anymore, our winters are so mild and just wet, grey, and ugh! 😄

    I live in Somerset and I am embarassed to say I have never been to Farleigh Hungerford - so thanks for making me feel guilty ;-) (joke!) but also making an informative and interesting video as always 🙂

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @NewHeathen wait...you LIVE in Somerset, and have never been to Farleigh Hungerford?! I'm not angry, just disappointed 😁 In all seriousness, I highly recommend an explore 😄

    The story in the crypt was horrifying! You think you can't possibly hear another story worse than what you already know of human depravity and then you hear this. Uurgghh! Lovely ruined castle though.

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's utterly grim! But yes, the castle ruins are fabulous! Thanks for watching!

    If the foundations are anything to go by the castle must have been impressive in its day and the chapel interior is so beautiful. Those Victorians really were game for anything maniacs. If ever a castle was cursed it's definitely that one with all the nefarious activities!...and that's the first time I've heard anyone use the B word on youtube!😆

    • @walkingthewyrd
      @walkingthewyrd  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Once again a beautiful and interesting walk, but I prefer a drink from a glass than from a coffin, although tequila with a worm is also drunk, no, I'd rather not. 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻

    Having watched & enjoyed the video, I am prepared to concede that there may be other ruined castles that have less associations with "treachery, infidelity, sorcery, wrongful imprisonment, murder and deceit!" But come on this is english history we are talking about. I wonder if anyone has done a top ten on the subject? Bye!

    What shenanigans - Drinking alcohol infused bodily fluids and acts of buggery! 🥴🫣😆 Thanks for another excellent episode Nicola. As you know I really like and appreciate what you do. I love history and I genuinely enjoy your take on the history and folklore of the places you visit. Until next time, look after yourself.🙂
