Thanks for watching! I think Wales is the perfect place to explore some old castles! Each one with a unique look, stunning surroundings, and an interesting story!
Thanks for the suggestion! I had never heard of this castle before, but after looking at some photos I'll be sure to add it to my list. The landscapes surrounding it look so unique as well!
@@AlexTravels1 If you take in Flint Castle then it is worth trying to find Ewloe Castle as well. I say trying to find as unlike most castles that stand on high ground overlooking the surrounding and can be seen from miles around, this one is hidden in a wood, within a valley. So you don't even notice it until you are almost at the foot of it. Not one of Edward's but built by the Welsh. It is a very different experience from other castles you would have visited.
Nice video Alex. Reminded me of the 5 castles that we saw when we were there in May this year. Love to go back again and I'll make sure to see Carreg Cennan castle, looks very interesting!
Indeed, I must admit, I have been to the town of Caernarfon many times but never actually ventured inside the castle, but from the outside alone, it looked stunning!
@AlexTravels1 great castles, I've been to Caernavon Castle and it is stunning, with fantastic history, as are all of the castles in Wales, a fabulous heritage of my country of birth, greetings from wales uk 😀
Came through Wales on a road trip in 2012, and had time for sadly only 3 castles. I visited Laugharne, Carreg Cannen and Raglan. Funny that 2 of those show up on this list!
Indeed! There are so many castles to choose from all over Wales, I hadn't actually heard of Raglan castle before but after looking at photos just now I might have to add it to my next trip!
Interesting! Castles and the time periods they were used fascinate me greatly. But I live in Canada so I don’t know if I’ll ever see one of the masterpieces that stand in the British Isles. I live near “Dundurn Castle” in Hamilton, Ontario, but that was built in the 19th century and isn’t made of stone or “ancient” looking
Alex this is incredible. Thank you for showcasing the castles of Wales!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I can't get enough of Wales' castles
WHY DID YOU MISS OUT CAENARVON CASTLE?????
Thanks❤🏴
Thanks for watching!!
Really cool video Alex.. Thank you. We will definitely be visiting some of these in the future :)

Carreg Cennen is an excellent choice for a no 1 pick!
It was the tunnel hidden underneath Carreg Cennen that made it no. 1 for me. So great to explore!
People don't know of flint castle ,first to be built by Edward longshanks, 1277, and mentioned in Shakespeare and has so much history , must see

Yes flint is an old historic rough town Irish welsh mainly, but overlooks the wirral into Chester where welsh attacked the Romans at Chester xx

Carreg Cennen is definitely worth a visit, the area surrounding that castle is also home to so many other amazing things to do!
we are watching from Shizuoka Japan
Thank you so much for watching my videos! We've always wanted to visit Japan!
Nice list, I quite like Caernarfon castle myself
Indeed, I must admit, I have been to the town of Caernarfon many times but never actually ventured inside the castle, but from the outside alone, it looked stunning!
@@AlexTravels1 It's quite nice on the inside, a part of it has been turned into a nice museum as well

My favorite part of the video is your insirational grandfather!
He always enjoys a good castle... But to be honest he enjoys everything! More videos with him coming soon!
Alex . . Could of dressed up as a Welshman . . some Welsh music would have been nice . . Grade = [ B - ] . . 🍺 🍺
If you’re going to make a video about Welsh places please learn how to say the names correctly.
I would’ve preferred a lot more views of the castles themselves rather than views from the castle or footage of you speaking.
No Chepstow Castle? 😂 Britains oldest stone built castle?? 🤔
