Great footage mate! Loved the video we literally filmed ourselves climbing the CMD route last week check it out Keep posting my friend !

My mainen name was Stafford, which I still use as my middle name. Thank you for this peek at my distant history.

Very cool to see where my history is from

Great video thank you for sharing. Beautiful views and wise advice you gave. It really is a tough climb, I did it with my two sons on first of October. Really great whether no snow at all and not crowded. We also needed 5 hours to reach the top which is not bad at my age (76) We stayed at Glen Nevis self catering park, highly recommendable, but also the camping park and hostel are great places to stay. Thanks again. 👍

Thank you for another enjoyable castle tour. 😊

Great Britain is truly an open -air museum. Thanks for this amazing video. Blessings from Russia.

Actually owned by the Duke of Devonshire estates.

The Rocks are a natural formation called Scowles and they're a feature of the Forest of Dean. Puzzlewood is a protected temperate rainforest

Thank you. Always enjoy your informative visits along with the fun and comments .☺

Thanks for your video. The river and surrounding are just beautiful. Waiting for the next one 🕐. With blessings from Russia.

There's a good chance that Llywellyn only built the keep, the Norman-tower in the middle, while the rest (the walls and the two bastions and the great hall) were already there. Notice that the dimensions are out of harmony - the tower is a dimension larger than the other structures, and while the tower was built with mortar, the walls were built without mortar, i.e. hundreds of years before. By the way, its not that much a symbol of Welsh independence, because Edward I. financed much of Llewellyn's castle building projects when they were allies at first. This again implies that Llewellyn did not build the walls, he would have used mortar, as he had the money.

Thank you 😆enjoyed the visit with you as ever. Beautiful coastal views, interesting history and useful information.

Interesting, informative video with such stunning coastal views. Thanks very much. With blessings from Russia.

Wow Owen, you certainly did justice to the stunning county we live in. I certainly learnt a few new things and I've been living here for over 24 years. 😊

Well done mate. I climbed Ben Nevis for the first time this weekend, as part of the National Three Peaks challenge. We we lucky like you and had a clear day right to the top, which is apparently a very rare thing. However, as we were on the clock we completed the climb in about 2 and a half hours, meaning you don’t get as long to stop take in all those incredible views, so your footage - especially the excellent drone stuff, is something to appreciate.

Just imagine the famous Scot’s who fled to those mountains to escape the Redcoats back in Jacobite Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Big congrats guys on reaching the summit.

How long did it take for you guys to reach the top?

As Lord Raglan is said to have said as he led the Lancers into the Russian guns , and while adjusting his hat, Lord Raglan ( Trevor Howard ) " well , here goes the last of the Brudenells ".😮

I'm a Corbett. My Ancestors came from there. ❤

Thank you again. Love your historical wanderings that wake up the imagination. Always look forward to seeing your latest creations . 🤗

Stunning place👍

What a beautiful place to visit. It reminds me the scenes from the British film on Russian TV " Robin Hood ". Blessings from Russia.

Spooky for sure

Ships were a work of art during that era. Thanks for the informative video. Well made and edited

Fantastic! I had such fun visiting the ship through your video. Absolutely brilliant 👏

Thank you 😁I had seen it had arrived in the UK so thank you for making a visit happen.

Great video, I love this part of the Peak District 👍

Well done 👏 That pack looked far to heavy to take up there

I first came across Kinder on my first South to North Pennine Way way back in 1976. That same year 1976 I joined the Army and I returned at the end of my Three Year stint in the Military for a second Pennine Way this time North to South. That was followed by The Coast to Coast West to East and the following year an East to West Crossing. That was followed by a Lands End to John OGroats Hike, a John OGroats to Lands End Hike and after a two year rest from Hiking I packed my bergen for a Complete Coastal circumnavigation of Great Brittian. My Last Hike age 65 was my Darlington to High Force then onto Dufton, Appleby, Kirkby Stephens, Keld, Richmond and back to Darlington two years ago. Now retired and what better way to pass the time is watching others out hiking in the UK. All the Best for your future Hikes, Tony in Essex, a retired Hiker

Love the waterfall excuses 😆😆😆 thank you as ever. 😊Looking forward to the next one 😁

Stunning colourful landscape. Britain is the ideal place for holidays , where it isn't hot . Thanks for video. Blessings from Russia.

Love the video well put together and dited

This is stunning 😍

Was there last year, it was magical and brilliant weather. Loved it - love that not too many people know of it. Fabulous site.

real nice video

I wish they had left the whole thing.

Incredible. I will probably never get to see that irl so Thankyou for the tour. What an incredible arch site.

Thank you as ever for exploring 😁

Incredible achievement Owen! Absolutely beautiful video! 😊

Wow I had no idea Much Wenlock was such a prominent part of the Olympics history! I'm loving your videos Owen. I dont know if my daughter has told you but I absolutely adore doing stuff like this. If I was fitter I would be tagging along making a nuisance of myself... lol

that's the third incarnation of that castle. Stafford castle was the FIRST castle (yes wooden) William the b*stard built to project his genocide of the north merican people and northumberlands, Harring of the North. Afterwards the English and later the Welsh where inslaved to serfdom.

Thank you. Loved the brilliant drone shots . 😁

Whittington I know well. Not been to any events there though. I prefer the quiet. Thank you 😊

Border defense, boarder is someone renting a room.

Thank you. Loved the information boards 🤪. I had not heard of Dolforwyn. Always good to learn something new. Have you ever been to Ewloe Castle ?

The scenery is just superb. Thanks for this amazing video. I keep collecting your videos and will use them at the English lessons. The pupils will love them for sure. Blessings from Russia.

Jeez! I was interested in learning about this place but (sorry!) I could only endure about 20 seconds of this windy and overblown script. Why do people feel the need to get all poetical and poonicated when they talk about old castles and historical landscapes. Soon they start putting in crap music and amateur hour dramatics as well. Mate. Less is more. There are enough facts about this place to tell a stripped down version which might take hours to narrate. Dont waste your time with this Romantic Adventures foolishness. You mistake what has importance for what has none. Is this history, or holiday fun snaps for mum? It isnt about you or what you feel, or how you want to puff up yourself. When was it built, who built it. Why was it built. Who was notorious. Why were they notorious. What are the oral legends. How was the castle used. What happened here. What does it offer now. You've got 20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes max to tell this story. You dont have a half minute to waste At the Very Start for flabby wordiness. Edit yourself and your opinions out! The castle is what I came to learn about. Ive attended political speeches which were more fun than this - even church sermons - from people I disagreed with about everything. I couldnt bear more than 30 seconds! On a subject I'm interested in. It shouldnt need a grumpy old fu**er like me to tell you that this is self-indulgent swill. You can thank me later

Did enjoy it. Doing Shropshire this August and we are booked to stay in Much Wenlock for a week to do the town and surrounding area - good introduction for us. Many thanks

Excellent. Thank you.

The video is amazing. The wall is a masterpiece. Thanks a lot. Blessings from Russia
