- Castles and observatories? What's not to like about that?
On a recent visit to Eastbourne in East Sussex, the British Bride and I visited two nearby attractions: Herstmonceaux Castle and The Observatory Science Center at Herstmonceaux (I'm calling it Herstmonceaux Observatory here).
There was a lot that I couldn't include in this video, and a visit to the websites of these attractions might be in order if you wish to know more! Or even better, visit them yourself!

A lovely educational narrative enjoyed it very much and learned all I needed to know.
Lots of memories about Herstmonceux Castle. Numerous work related visits. A lovely wedding reception. My favourite is sneaking onto the estate in the evening to fish in the lakes with my young son.
What a great guide...Despite living in Sussex throughout my life, I've never visited either of these...that may perhaps now change
Thanks!

always interesting with just the right amount of information. Very good, enjoyed that. Never been although I do live in Eastbourne. Saved me that chore.
Nice video man, Herstmonceux is a super interesting place full of mysteries and natural beauty from the abandoned Isaac Newton telescope dome to the castle to the woodlands and swamp/marshland. I’m glad you enjoyed it here! Keep it up.
Fantastic! Thank you.
I believe one of my ancestors owner the castle 'way back when' and I have certainly sung in a choir there many years ago.
I'll go away and find out who - and mebe retrun...
I will look forward to hearing about it!
Great video and footage very nice indeed great channel well done thanks for sharing got my support and sub cheers 👍👍🇬🇧
The 'Domesday Book' (despite its spelling) is correctly pronounced as the _Doomsday_ Book. (And, as to a previous video of yours - about the Rivers of Sussex - you incorrectly pronounced 'Pulborough' as 'Pulburrow' but _borough_ here is pronounced 'Burruh' hence (despite the spellings) Pulburruh, Peterburruh, Marlburruh, (Pulborough,
Peterborough - Cambridgeshire, Marlborough - Buckinghamshire? Or Berkshire? I forget, which, sorry) 😊 🏴♥️🇬🇧🙂🖖
Yes, correct pronunciation is definitely going to be a problem! I usually pronounce Domesday correctly, but sometimes I don't! You should check out the @JayForeman channel for the video "Why are British place names so hard to pronounce?" He claims that even British people have a hard time with place names sometimes!

Yes, I often watch Jay Foreman and have watched 'Reactors' watch him too.
I will not say I never mispronounce words, but of those I _do_ know and _can_ say correctly, I tend to be somewhat of a pedant about them!! I say being _70_ now _allows_ me to sound a _tad_ grumpy at times...?! Now, however, yes, especially now, as I've literally just been delivered home by hospital transport (from a 1:30pm appointment!!) and, having learned my kidneys are not only failing, but that their function has reduced from 15% - 16% 2 years ago, down to only 13% now, and will need one of two different types of kidney dialysis, and
(if possible), a kidney transplant ...all of which is somewhat of a shock, as I'd hoped I was getting better ...but, no... I'm getting worse, so, pedantry is the _least_ of my current worries, and so, since _today's_ news, I've decided perhaps I should be less critical of others - what say you?
Ought I remain a pedant, or be less of a "grumpy old lady"?!! I offer you my apologies for 'picking on you' / your English, and I'll try harder, sir, to be nice! (If I can🤔)
🙂🏴🙂🇬🇧😏♥️🖖

Ah ha! Pedantry is my hobby! Feel free to keep up with it -- we oldsters have a lot of wisdom and the youth of today definitely need our guidance. And being in my early 70s as well, I can certainly appreciate the pull of grumpiness!
I'm sorry to hear of your health problems! Best of luck with getting those problems seen to! As for me, I'm kind of doing OK, though my cardiovascular endurance is kind of messed up now. Probably partly to do with having to stay home too much due to lockdowns.
@@SussexYank
Thank you sir... Then I shall continue to be my usual pedant self...lol (I'm not bad at it, afterall,?!!) As to health, yes, age plus it's advancement, can indeed be "a bit of a stinker" but still better than the 'Grim Reaper's' beckoning alternative, methinks... That particular long and seamless sleep is not so attractive, in my view... No fun there!!
Do continue your rummaging through our lovely English countryside... I've yet to watch your forays through the 'Isle of Wight' so know I've at least that to look forward to. Thank you again, for sharing your accumulated knowledge, wit and kind words. "Lang may your lungs wreak" or _whatever_ it was that our great Scottish bard ('Robert, The Bruce', perhaps?!🥺🤔) once said (I speak Scottish*🏴 like
_my_🖖version of 'Vulcan' - "left-handed"*?!? ...and _only_ my native _English_🏴, with my "aged right hand", lol?!!) 🤔😏🏴♥️🙂🖖
(I *hope* my ramblings make sense!!)
No matter what way I Turn Sussex I can't find Yank in it ?
I'm hiding well, don't you think? LOL!
@SussexYank Very nice video's mate .I Find then Very interesting.
