      Cheers. Were very lucky to have so many castles in Wales - they literally are everywhere! For somewhere we usually drove past, it was a lovely visit and fun day out. We did want to take that cat home though! Cheers for watching 🍻

    A wonderful overview of Rhuddlan, I love the place, ❤. I spent a lot of time playing in that castle when I was a kid, happy memories. I also watched the Levellers their with Izzy and the kids whilst Mike Peters' film ' Weapons of Happiness ' was being filmed, my daughter and I are in the cloud scene at the end for about 1.5 seconds, 😊.
    How lovely to not only receive the book and cup, but to get to meet up with like minded people. ❤
    Like deployed 👍

    You guys are awesome! Thanks for the shout out and what a great memory from our trip! Can't wait to come back for another trip. It is so true that your videos really shaped one of the best vacations we have ever had. There are so many places such as Rhuddlan that we would love to come back and visit you can be assured that we will be back. North Wales may have just replace Ireland as our favorite place! But, that's also because of the experiences and not just the sights. Our pints in Chester was certainly one of the greatest highlights of of our trip! You live in such a special place in this world. We are happy that your channel gives you good reason to really explore your own back yard! Cheers to the good times and up the irons! (Is there a link to get the Def Leppard book???)

    Stunning castle. Wow, as you said a great First 🥇! Not surprising some people got their priorities wrong - glad the church was build elsewhere.Gorgeous view from the 'mound'. Lovely bird's eye view Wills. Indeed a nice church- and love that sculpture at the start of the town. So much to see so close to home.Just shows though doesn't it? One misses what's right under your nose. Thanks for sharing Rhuddlan. I'd not heard of it. Have a great week. 👌🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

    Hey guys,
    We watched on Sunday but just catching up on the comments. We have seen signs for Ruddlan too driving through, but never stopped. The castle looks fabulous, and not over priced to visit either. Loved the history and research as ever! Loved the little kitty more, so playful! The cute kitties always seem to find you guys! 😻. Nature reserve looked like doggy heaven for walkies, the walker on the bench doesn't look too healthy though😂. Great to see you two back out exploring your beautiful back yard again. Nice recap and how lovely to meet up with friends of the channel, such thoughtful gifts too. Hopefully see you soon guys,
    Have a great weekend when I'll arrives.
    Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

We've since learnt that little kitty is called Arnie and has only just been allowed out! We wanted to steal him he was so gorgeous!! It's Wales for this week too for us as we head into the busy time at work! Although we're being allowed out this weeeknd and we're off to London! Cheers for watching and hopefully see you soon. 🍻

    "Ridlan" Castle. That sounds about right! BTW, it's no longer Wales-it's Cymru. Scotland is Caledonia, Ireland is Hibernia, and England is Albion. Common law will return. The UK Corporation was declared bankrupt in 2021. I heard decades ago that the stones from the bottom of those drum towers at Rhuddlan Castle were taken away to build the nearby houses. 10/10 for the video. Thanks!

      It's Rr ith lAn. Rh is a digraph in Welsh, expressing one sound, atrilled R, but breathless. Then U which approximates to an English I sound. DD is another digraph similar to Th. But in Breathe.

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think when Cadw or the National trust get them, they preserve what they have rather than try to rebuild. Come of the castles got sold to family's and became homes, so got added onto and modernised. We've just been to one today where exactly that happened. Cheers 🍻
