Spectacular tour of Wardour Castle. No problem with the quality of the video, sorry you lost the original file.
Whenever I see videos such as this, I'm awestruck by what it must have taken to build the enormous structures they did. The engineering skills of so many craftsmen. Settling the hundreds of stairs, especially those in very tight spaces. How they ran fireplaces to so many locations. It overwhelms me.
I know they also built magnificent cathedrals, but the complexity of a castle like this must have required workmen just as skilled.
Thank you for this excellent video.
I conserve and repair buildings such as these in Scotland. They really had some amazingly clever techniques and were so far ahead of their time.
Oh, WARDOUR! I thought you were saying "MORDOR!" 🤣 Very cool video of such an awesome historic castle! It was already a 100 year old ruin when America was being born!
Wow very true!
Thank you, Chris. You always come through!
I'm so pleased you went to Old Wardour. Firstly because my late father played there as a boy in the 30s when staying in the nearby farmhouse and secondly because I'm a HUGE fan of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, probably my all time favourite film which I've seen over twenty times. Great video thank you so much for taking us on a tour, I have a few pics of when my sister and I did a pilgrimage but your video is a real treasure. I'm eager to see where else you go on your Robin Hood tour.. I've been to Burnham Beeches and happened by pure chance when on holiday to find myself beside Aysgarth Falls in Yorkshire where Robin fought Little John, I recognised it straight away.
Wow thank you for sharing this castle it is awestruck to the mind. Beautiful landscape .
Oh Chris thank you so very much! Your voice is so soothing I felt I was part of your adventure! Love castles; the beauty of the countryside is Narnia! Happy Labor Day! 🏰
WOW Chris, this was truly amazing, we Loved this and you did great, the camera did wonders. History speaks to us and you help us relive it!!! KEEP THEM COMING!!!!
This is among your best, Chris. What a fascinating look into history. As others have commented, the technology of the time exceeds much of what we might expect. Thankfully, these ruins, and their explorers, remain to shine light on this amazing past.
Thanks!
@@MobileInstinct. Welcome to Europe, we will see you in Ireland soon yeah ?
I thought the fireplace on Bonanza was large. These castle's are Engineering marvels. I wonder how many years and how many people it took to build a castle like this.
This was fascinating.. I love Castle's and their history. Thanks Chris.
This was fantastic to see. Can you imagine it in its day with the hustle and bustle.
Thanks for the history lesson Chris really enjoyed this video. I only live about 70 miles from the castle and never visited it, so many thanks for sharing. If you are still in England or are coming back another time try and get to Warwick castle that’s also beautiful. Stay safe and thanks again 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
So spectacular to get to see! You always do such a great job of touring us around. Almost felt like I was there
How interesting to see inside this castle. Brilliant video Chris. Thanks
Incredible Chris ,great tour and really unique.Thanx never knew about this location and history
I live in Nottinghamshire and never knew about these things. So thank you for sharing this.
a beautiful building that served its purpose centuries ago, nice to see its still standing after all that time for people to enjoy
What a great castle it was.Thank you for taking us to this spectacular Castle.
This is so amazing! The amount of wealth they had to have a castle like this in its grandness to be built and even though it was blown up after all this time its still standing to this day. Just shows you these building will always be there as they are made of stone which makes them ever lasting. Buildings made today just don't come anywhere near the craftsmanship of these structures that were constructed so long ago. Thank you for sharing, so interesting seeing historical buildings.
Dam you went from tunneling through sewers in New Jersey to castles in England!!! Quite a contrast
Haha I try to see it all
I’ve been loving the videos of England. So much history
I’d love to spend a night!! Imagine encountering the many spirits from centuries ago 🌟💙🙏🏻💙🌟
Thank you Chris! Living vicariously through you and your magical videos 💙🌟💙
It was interesting to see the outline of the original walls before you went in. Imagine if that whole side was still standing.
Doll they don't have Craftsman from back in the day or make anything close to this today. It's absolutely gorgeous I'm happy they are taking care of it in fact I wish they would rebuild it.
Fascinating! And, as always, wonderfully done. Thanks again Chris.
Would love to see this in person, seeing the tred wear on the steps imagining the people living in there 600 years ago
Please continue to film castles, it's been hard finding a good source. Your very good at talking and explaining. 👌
After watching all your really interesting videos as you tour across the USA, Its so cool knowing you are just down the road, like 8-ish miles away.
I can't get enough of these beautiful castles. The history and structures are incredible ❤️
When you said "I apologize for..." I half expected you to say "I apologize for the crudity of the model. I didn't have time to build it to scale or paint it" lol Idk why
It's really odd to think people of our stature would build such a huge elaborate structure. People tend to build things to fit their own stature that is usable. I can see much larger people needing something this size. It's an amazing tour you did and a great video ! Thank you, and please do more if you are able !
👍 🇨🇦 ✌️
Wardour Castle an architectural dream only to be brought to ruins. When the East China and the west England traded for the infomus black gold called gun powder . And the days of a man called Guy Falks who attempted to blow up.the parliament were crazy times .Thanks for sharing these magnificent remains of what was once a Castle to envy and now an empty shell with a tragic ending.
That was spectacular! Thanks for sharing! Very interesting adventures with you! I learn something new always...Great !!
Thank you for the wonderful tour.😊 Wouldn't it be great to see it restored.
Thanks for this video tour of the castle. I loved it!
Love to be a fly on the wall back in it's day! (Not for the explosion though)
Nice tour Chris! Thanks.
👍👍👍
Wow Chris, you have stepped your game up on all the history and info. You are good with the camera too. You got a perfect shot of the castle with all the greenery in the scene. Beautiful! I've been subbed to 1 and 2 from early on when you didn't have as many subs as you do now. Great work Chris. TFS👍🏻
So amazing that such a structure even with the damage still stands. The pride of the structure can still be seen.
Absolutely in aww of this castle. Just imagine if we could have seen it before it was destroyed. Beautiful land too
Thank you so much for this castle and what remains of it.very what did you say. WOW!
I was told the narrow windows were for the archers to shoot out of.....seen many castles in Ireland. Great video
This castle is absolutely breathtaking!!.. the huge fire place in the kitchen is the largest l have ever seen and that dining hall with those huge tall windows. They used to cover the floors with rushes and throw their meat to the wolf hounds. Thank you for showing us this. I know this sounds crazy , but l have often thought....even though it cost millions it would be amazing to restore one of these castles or monasteries to their original state. Many thanks....l have never been to this one.
They are building a castle in France from scratch that you might be interested in
@@reptillayes Thank you RM....l am going to Google it. It would be Heaven itself to see such a place.
@@T5-635 guédelon castle is the name. Kirsten Dirksen has a video on it
@@reptillayes Ahh thank you RM. I have written this down. I hope l can go to see it either in Autmn or next year. I'm so looking forward to it. Until then l will be able to see this video you mention. Wishing you all the best. You have made my day. Thanks again.
amazing what they could build back then with what little they had available
The architecture is a wonder and so beautiful. Time softens the edges. It is a lovely location. I'm glad I'm not the cook!
Tha k you, Chris! ❤️
Nice🏰 I think that the drone footage was just fine! Thank you for sharing and safe travels😊
The title you choose for this upload would have been a great theme for a Monty Python movie.
Oh Chris! It’s a magnificent video🌟💙🌟 I’m in awe of historic England and their beautiful castles🙏🏻 How I wish I had a Time Machine 🌟👁🌟
Note the direction of the spiral staircases. As most people are right handed they were designed this way to allow free motion with the sword for the defenders of the castle while invaders had to switch their sword to their left hand as they tried to ascend the stairs. This gave a distinct advantage to those defending the castle.
Excellent video. A lot is spoken of the pyramids of Egypt but lets be honest, building these castles was no mean acheivement.
That's cool. Enjoy your vacation.
Magnificent! Thank you for the trip.
This was awesome, thanks for sharing!
love castles & mansions, drone footage good, neat stuff, thnx tour, not much haunted, surprising, thnx again
One thing about the spiral staircases is that they're meant to hinder a right-handed person holding a sword going up stairs and giving advantage of someone who was right-handed holding a sword going downstairs.
The English Civil War needs a huge series in the style of The Queen, Games of Thrones and North and South as it is all those stories and more rolled into one. Royalty, A Fugitive. Battles Castles Explosions, guns sword fights womanising everything.
As always, thank you very much good Sir..
I can literally picture myself descending those stone steps in my velvet robe and layers of warm clothes to ward off the dampness and cold .
Was in Ireland in July. So many of their castles are major tourist attractions and cost money to enter. I’m surprised this one isn’t.
Did you see Castle Adare?
Sweet. We stayed there july 2015 for my brothers wedding, then toured Ireland for 2 weeks. Good times!
@@crazykev6491 No, unfortunately. We were there two weeks and started in Dublin, up to Belfast, over to Galway, then Cork, and back to Dublin. We ran out of time that day. We saw a lot of castles and the girlfriend’s itinerary was 43 pages, so each day was packed with stops. Lol
@@Fcreceptor wow! We did Galway, dublin, Adare, the cliffs, and Wexford. Never made it up north
@@crazykev6491 We stayed at Kilronan castle too 😄 Surprisingly, it wasn’t as nice as the pictures portray. The driving was the fun part 🤣
NICE ! Spectacular, Thanks a bunch
It would be a nice short video if you took any external footage of New Wardour Castle. (But since it's a private residence, that may be an intrusion.) It would be interesting to see the newer architectural style.
Great stuff, thanks so much for sharing your experience!
Robin Hood prince of thieves is one of the best movies I've seen.
What amazing drone footage!!! Cant wait to see the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves video you put together! Love your filming locations
That was exciting. I could feel the history.
Amazing how they built that.👍great video! Ty
Crazy to imagine what this would have looked like back in the day with all of the walls coated in lime and painted
wow..nothing i'd ever seen except in books, back in the day, a wonderful way to see this, was there some one with you, i heard voices..14:39
Probably the egos of people that are there with him because later I heard an girl say something in the background
Nice! Best of all, no spray paint vandalism.
That's because ist not abandoned, the site is run by English Heritage and there is a charge to enter the site.
New sub from Toronto Ontario Canada, I really like the content and quality of your videos.
It's a great ruined Castle I really enjoyed the tour buddy, thks!..😎
Great sights. Thanks for the video! ☀
The visuals are stunning.
Very much enjoyed this video 😊
That was SO cool! I haven't seen that one. The shadow of the wall with windows on the grass was beautiful. Thank yoy
Another great video Chris! I hope you come and visit Wales at some point!
Cool production yet again.
🇦🇺
Always an impressive presentation !
Not every castle has both Medieval and movie history. Most of the castles used in movies are built for the movie and are taken down after filming is over. I was disappointed to find out that the tower castle used in the 1965 Charlton Heston movie The Warlords was recently dismantled after sitting on the studio grounds for so many years.
Why people think weapons of mass destruction is a new concept - I'll never understand. I can only imagine the casualties and chaos this blast would have unleashed.
You did an excellent job.
Can you imagine that Grotto lit up at night with candles (I think thats what they did in those aka "follys" just built for fun, maybe during a Ball, people would hang out there to take a break from 💃dancing. Some were a mini version of the Castle or home, or one Lord had his built to hang out in, later he instructed that he wanted to be buried there, (except seated in a chair behind the main decor).🤔🤷♀️
Caerphilly castle is worth a visit, it was the 2nd largest in the uk
So interesting. Thanks for sharing this beautiful castle. You’ve been in the UK for a while now curious if you’ve staying in hostel’s along the way?
Wow thanks for the history
Absolutely fascinating!!!!
I believe but I could be wrong all stairs, like in majority of castles, were designed to be narrow, steep and spiral so the occupants can defend from the top downwards in a sword fighting scenario.
Absolutely LOVE the Gothic Arches / Windows & Center Courtyard !!
Great video to start the day!
Damn they really pulled a Cersei Lannister on that castle
There is a similar Grotto at Stow Gardens.
Excellent thank you
Excellent Coverage

My ancestors blew up their castle on Lake Lochness to prevent it being taken over by their enemies.
Well they preserved our family heritage in the Howard castle Greek Italy Spain Scott and I think France" actually had some experience in my ancestors but they tried stealing it so I stayed lower than low on this
Love it makes me proud to be british .
I love stuff like this.
That's a fine video Chris , thank you. Do you plan to go to Ireland?
Dave
You should go to Malbork in Poland, thats an amazing castle
Do you mean Marienburg?
@@Tobi-ln9xr no i mean Malbork Castle in poland, the worlds biggest brick castle
@@3.jacobsson
Yeah its called Marienburg. Its a castle which belongs to Germany (Prussia) and was occupied by Poland after 1945.
Yeah ill guess its called both
