I used to work as a Museum Assistant in Colchester Castle, Essex. There is a wide spiral staircase leading up to the roof. A question visitors often asked was "What's the quickest way down from here?" I was always tempted so say "Just jump over the side!", but I never did...
That staircase is a work of art on its own!
Your reaction upon reaching the summit is the same as mine, and I’m safe at home on the sofa! Holy moly!
I went here as a kid, i have fond memories of legging it up the stairs high on smarties, seeing how high it was and then running back down scared haha. Legend for documenting this, its sent back good memories.
How did you survive a run down those stairs? That's insane. 😂
I know right, i definitely wouldn't do it now. I was 9 and buzzing on smarties at the time, maturity would kick in and i'd be too scared now haha. @@holdshiftt2run308
The tower looks to be in great condition.
Fun stuff.
Thanks Matthew!
👍👍👍👊😎
Enjoyed the visit to the tower and bookended with wonderful aerial footage. Thanks Matt.
You said the worst thing about Vertigo is the ground Rushing away from you You forgotten when the ground rushes towards you When you pass out And you come round About 6" off the ground And you think this is going to hurt. Lovely video I haven't seen that place since the BBC4 A303 HIGHWAY TO THE SUN
Absolutely Brilliant as always Matt
Thanks Matt . This place is new to me and it is not that far away .
Great explore king matt
Beautiful fairy tale tower - thanks for braving all those steps and overcoming your fear of heights to show us the views. I'd be clinging onto the middle bit and whimpering in fear!
Enjoyed the tower matt good video thought you would count how many steps there was to the top lol cheers👍👍👍👍
99 steps
There used to be an old building in the woods to the south of the tower, was said to be an old convent. Quite a small place though and I think it’s a private dwelling now.
Great video, reminded me of home as I could see the tower on the hill side from there.
Great video, I love that area of England. 💖
wow good explore matt thank you.make you think how did build it those days ?
Great explore - thanks for climbing all those steps so we don’t have to!! Fabulous views and amazing how far can be seen🤩
Great video 👍👍
A very majestic start to the video with some spectacular view across the hills and damn straight park next to the tower and not walk miles although you may want a picture of the tower from a distance. I think my knees would be a bit wobbly looking down from up that high jeez and my mind wold be saying no no no no but the views out are beautiful. Interesting chaps on the front desk seemed fun.
Great video! I went up Alfred's Tower several times in the 1980's and still shudder at how scary that staircase is. I think they really should put sturdy handrails on both inner and outer sides so people can safely pass each other. Apart from that the place is lovely and the views amazing. In perfect conditions you can see the southern part of the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and I believe looking East the furthest place is Butser Hill, 60 miles away in Hampshire. That makes it one of the few places in Southern England where you can see two places that are more than 100 miles from each other. Incidently Butser Hill is almost exactly in line (behind) Salisbury Cathedral.
Absolutely stunning scenery!
Great video Matt really enjoyed that 👍 thanks for sharing 👍 brilliant video xx ps-what was it built for then matt???

Nice to know I'm not the only one with a love of flying accompanied with a fear of heights. I had less of a fear hiking through the mountains in South Africa than going up the stairs in a block of flats. I can't stand the transparent glass banisters so many shops like to use! Great footage, thanks 🙂
great explore m8 lovely view
Interesting Matthew Thank you very much Spectacular Monumental Cheers
I bet the higher you got the thinner the air was. Just watching made my lungs hurt. I love having Asthma, lol So it's basically just a staircase? No rooms?
BEAUTIFUL landscape. Would love to experience this one day
Great explore you are the stair master for sure.
A great video m8
oh wow what a beautiful view
Amazing. i wondered what it tis looked like inside.
I don't like heights either Matt, not sure I could look over the edge🤢. But love the window seats on jets especially by the jet engines feeling the thrust. Yippee! Thank you for this awesome video.👍❤
Im a pilot but I dont like it when someone else is in control. I only feel happy in a big aircraft when I have had a valiumand whisky. Only then can I get some sleep.
Used to live just the the other side of the the tor in a pub many years ago
Would love to see more castle explorations :)
You could have mentioned the story of a plane hitting the tower in 1944 😉
Yep, a spitfire or C-64 Norseman in fog, can't remember which now.
Yes I didnt know much about that when I visited the place. Sounds like a good story.
@@TheSecretVault indeed a good story you can still see the replaced parts in the brickwork 🙋
Reminds me of the time installing refrigeration piping on the top of building six stories up . Without harness! fun times!
Again very nice
From Cley Hill on a clear day you can see Cranmore Tower on Mendips, King Alfred Tower, theTor, & I think Burrowbridge tump.
What camera did you use to zoom into Glastonbury Matt?, very impressive.
Huawei P50 Pro
I do wonder what the tower was used for...
Evening Matt and all
Absolutely stunning and beautiful the views are, i am the same dont like heights at all get wibbley knees and legs, your drone footage is always A++++++
Think I will go have a look soon,, nice video
open on weekends only until August I think.
Ohhhh you been up the giants castle :D I love watching the moon rise up behind this from Bruton where I live :D my kids have always called it the fairy castle or giants castle :) great echo's in that tower
That’s freaked me out no I could NOT do that Brave man Mathew 😮😮😮
Just up the road from where I live.
Been here many times, close to where i live 🙂Shaftesbury
Your a brave man 😊
Like you matt heights are the same to me, my legs go limp if I go to high
Thanks Matt very Interesting with you on the Vertigo I,m the same my knees would probably be a bit wobbly,part of me was Imagining if this was a Shiey video he would probably be trying to do his extra scary and climbing up on top of those walls
Wow, what a neat little place that is! Entrance only £5 (Beface £2.50) 😂😂😂
Crikey that’s high
Just think, building that tower ...😮
keep those scuffed lens covers for some muddy mine exploring or bog snorkelling eh :)
This is creepy cos i was just randomly checking this tower out on google maps earlier today
i felt your thoughts
Ide of had an asthma attack by the 6th step! So love to do it though!
Lucky enough to have grown up around here :) did you find the magic lake?
Yes I did a drone video of that place... perhaps I should upload here to show people... its amazing. Stourton Lake
@@TheSecretVault we all love your work Matt, im sure people would enjoy it :)
The staircase is built in that fashion because most people are right handed and can better use a sword if the enemy in coming up stairs.
Very vaporous
Lol at Saint Alfred's. Before watching the video, I accidentally Googled "Saint Alfred's Tower" to get some background info. Glad I'm not the only one! I wonder why our brains want it to be Saint haha?
So once it was built I can’t imagine anyone staying in a stairwell so was it just left as a unmanned landmark once completed?
Locals are sick and tired of visitors, it's likely why the Range Rover 'tanked' you.
Matt, I've been meaning to ask, how Angel is doing I hope that she's doing well, all the best Matt mate, say you've got some great camera gear Matt x
I don't like heights either!
160 ft high, beggars belief how that was built in the 1700's, that is one to watch on explorers channels, sod all of them stairs though.
Scarry to me 2 😮
do you watch DJ Adults Matt?
is that his porn channel... lol... I have seen some of his vids, yes.
How long till some kid falls off
We need to make sure that R. Kelly’s I believe I can fly will be playing when it happens
Why don't you like the national trust ?
Allegedly National Trust have claimed properties from people by compulsory purhcase orders due to them wanting to "DEMOLISH THE HOUSES" to bring back a more historical views to some places such as Avebury. National Trust then didnt demolish the houses and started renting them. The people who were displaced from these houses had to go and live in council style houses instead of their historic ancestoral family homes in nice old fashioned houses inside Avebury. This is a crime. National Trust are slimy and all about the money.
why use that awful 360 degree camera the distortion is horrible!
It gives views you just cant get with a normal camera. See all around you.
@@TheSecretVault my opinion is the 360 is horrible, no reality? however it will not stop me following your great channel!
Wow all that empty space! Could have a hundred rooms on the way up easily.
