    Berkhampsted Castle looks great. I’m amazed it has lasted this long. I love the moats have survived.
    Fantastic history Alessa.
    The Black Prince certainly got around in those days.
    Shame it was abandoned, thank god the railway was rerouted, shame about the gatehouse though.
    I can just imagine it all the way you tell us all the history Alessa.
    Two wells?
    1216 wow
    Fantastic filming & narration as usual Alessa & Brett. Thank you so much for sharing x💕stay awesome, look forward to the next one

    Just another amazing castle tour. No way to keep up with the chat😅. I still had to go back and pause a few times. There are some amazing sketches of this place. They line up with the drone footage. I was imagining a transition from the drawings to what's still standing. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend🙋‍♂👍😎💞🐲🌹

    Absolutely fascinating this one.
    This isn’t really that far from us but we’ve never visited. I didn’t even know that Berkhampstead had a castle!!
    Unbelievable history - especially around the Norman invasion. Can just imagine William gathering more troops here before he advanced on London.
    Top stuff guys. Superb narration Allessa and some great drone footage Brett.

    Interesting the history of the fortress that defends the northern part of London. Even though there are only ruins now, certainly 1000 years ago, in its glory period, it looks extraordinary!

    Some of Berkhamsted Castle's extensive earthworks and natural defences are forgotten, like the road between the railway and the castle was part of the moat, with the gate house on an outer raised embankment where the railway is. Having more that one moat makes Berhamsted unique, but more (before the 18th century canal channelled the water) between the gatehouse and the town of Berkhamsted the was a marsh. Though Berko's inner moats are not that wide.

    Sorry we missed it. It's right in the middle of our work day here in the USA on the East Coast. We've been pretty bad at catching up on stuff. We're so far behind with our own projects which can only happen after the work day... You probably know what we're talking about.
