I was thinking of camping there too - how did it go?

@@WildBikeCamper It's a beautiful place for a visit but I don't recommend it in peak summertime tbh. The castle itself is located on a hillside so there are very few flat spots. The few flat spots that are there are just too visible in the farmers field (with sheep all around). The spots that were out of sight were absolutely plastered in forests of nettles and rubble everywhere... It's really not an easily campable spot in any form tbh but you may get better luck in the Autumn once all the nettles have died back.

@@boyzinthewood1 Appreciate the detailed reccy feedback! I'd have dragged my bike over there along the river and pitched by the bank - am thinking the line of trees might be enough of a barrier to keep the sheep at bay? I can 🔪the nettles- As long as it's quiet!

@WildBikeCamper the path was definitely fine for a camp, but it's still in a very open farmers field. Personally, I wouldn't risk it as you've got a very good chance of being spotted if he jumps in his tractor early in the morning. I had a two man tent on me at the time, if you have a single tent or a bivy you'll definitely have more luck there than I did.

@WildBikeCamper just subbed to your channel too 👍

Hi. It’s not open to the public unfortunately. We got special permission to film. But they do run events there and you can contact them for more information.

There’s a link in the description

Stunning ruins that offer the most fabulous views of the Welsh countryside!

So what did you expect? New builds. You do know how old these are right?

You could visit Germany where they built some fantasy Disney castles in the modern era that served no military purpose. And hundreds of castles would be more than a 'bunch'

@@Darrenski Really? Long toes? About every country in Europe has medieval castles, mate. Furthermore I know most important castles in Wales on the border were destroyed in history after England took over, just didn't expect there would be nothing left, anywhere. As I said, bummer.

@@Darrenski are you for real? A castle perhaps, not a hill where one used to stand. You do know there are plenty of castles that still stand, right, from the same damn period you seem to glorify. You can be proud of your history without trying to sell a hill as a castle. Okay?

There was no such thing as Wales or Welsh then. If he even existed. He was king of the Britons not the Welsh, and other locations like Cornwall, Glastonbury and Scotland also have their own claims to that. You're simply going off that book written by those two guys years ago where someone found a silver cross. That is literally the only supposed evidence. And it's a subject I've been researching for over 40 years so I know nobody can make such a claim. If so then provide your evidence

It certainly does

Thank you

You can fly any drone less than 2lbs I think it is anywhere outside a flight path. Book uo on drone laws

@@Darrenski I am afraid in UK you cant. There is an association called National Trust and unless agreed for business purposes by them, they have a blanket ban over national monuments. You can fly if you take off or land from public ground as not all of their sites have a blue restriction active. Seems you need to book up. Thanks for your reply though.
