- St. Quentins has many names. 🎶 You say St. Quentins and I say St Quintin's. 🎶 It's also known as Llanblethian, and Castell Llanfleiddan. It sits in what appears to be a quiet, out of the way village in Llanblethian, Cowbridge, Wales.
It's thought to have started out as a ringwork with a bank and ditch in around 1102 with the stonework being added in the late 12th century and then reinforced in the early 14th by the Earl Gilbert de Clare. However, Gilbert was killed before the castle was completed, and because the castle lacks certain features, it is possible that the building work was discontinued as a result of the Earl's death. By 1740 it was was said to be in a ruinous state.
The gatehouses did see some use as a prison in the 15th century and was briefly occupied as a dwelling in 1820.

I love how cozy and quaint you two have made your whole channel vibe. You’ve left no stone unturned in Britain. A shame this didn’t take off. I don’t know why it didn’t,
Looks a beautiful place to visit! Thanks for the tour!
Ah, atypical English weather! Looks very appealing actually 👌
We like to think of it as atmospheric 😁
I spend far to much of my off duty times watching your videos, but I enjoy them, you picked a fine day for your visit, interesting castle, I really think I was born years or centuries too late maybe like you both.
We’re glad you’re enjoying our films, it’s nice to hear that others like them 😊
I’m not sure I was born too late, I’m pretty sure I would have died very early from ‘reasons’ 😂

@@MostlyCastles + A fair point about health, I do hope your are both well.
The joy of unlocked doors in a castle, irresistible 😉
And the utter despair of the locked ones!
@@MostlyCastles always worth giving a gate a jiggle (said with my professional heritage hat on).
We may or may not confirm that is what we possibly sometimes do 😁
Epic video guys! We are filming a paranormal investigation here soon 👻👀 amazing location! But is it really haunted? Let’s find out 👏😎
That doorway shape is lovely. Does it have a name?
As far as I’m aware it’s just part of the gateway. I guess until we know otherwise we could call it Cedrick
@@MostlyCastles I checked for the name of the shape, my original question. Turns out it's Gothic. Cedric is a Goth.
Many things seem to put under the gothic bracket in architecture, I probably could have guessed it 😂
#CedrickIsAGoth
I think you guys are building these things,,, lol
Despite living fairly local I didn't know this one existed..
Have you managed to check out Boverton Castle ? I'm not sure if access is allowed 🤔
Damn it, you have caught us. That's right, we pop up with a 3D printer that churns out realistic looking castle ruins in no time at all so that we can make films about them.
Didn't know about Bovril castle but it doesn't look like there is any public access. Such a shame.
@@MostlyCastles 3D printer, haha 😄
