I live near Conwy and one quite funny thing about the castle is occasionally you get the odd tourist who thinks the suspension bridge is an original part of the castle because they designed it in a similar style to blend in! 🤣

Thank you so much for this lovely video. We had a day trip to this wonderful place from Liverpool and saw that tiny house. That was about in 2004 and was unforgettable. I love you Britain very much. You will be in my heart forever. Blessings from Russia.

I am a Harwood.... the spelling changed from harewood to Harwood at some point but my great grandparents came to the united states from Scotland. I'm still trying to trace my way back through the family history but I would love to see this in person

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. 👍

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.

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.

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

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.
