[@eugenebutler1658]

It looks the same as when I was there in 1974 at 14. Brought back great memories.

Great premise for a channel - "go visit castles"; i.e. tourist funds assist with the upkeep and maintenance of these wonderful and historical treasures. And, I agree with @loriedgerly7229 - we have nothing this exceptional in the US - the history, depth and generations of historically significant events. I mean, we have the boston tea party, but - umm, yeah lol. Glad you don't take it for grantid. Truely wonderful - Thank you!

[@govisitcastles]

Exactly why we started the channel, without tourism a lot of these buildings wouldn't survive. So glad you enjoy seeing them, thanks for watching! P.s - we also have the Boston Tea Party, but they're a chain of rather fabulous tea rooms in the south west of England :D

[@bonggumahad4216]

Another goodie from GVC! I don't think any other castle l has such impressive spur buttresses as Goodrich. Makes it instantly recognisable. You are right about it being one to visit-there is so much to see.

[@govisitcastles]

Yes, it's really impressive and appears to rise right out of the bedrock. Thanks for your comment!

[@WanderingwithWatto]

A great video. Goodrich isn’t far from us and I really enjoyed your production. A definite new fan here. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚶🏻‍♂️🚶‍♀️

[@govisitcastles]

[@robnewman6101]

Wow. Interesting.

[@BevGaskill]

I like your vids but would appreciate seeing more of the buildings and what the rooms are used for. Keep it up and thank you.

[@anne-marie2972]

I agree

[@EVP-Voices]

Your warm and enthusiastic presentation of the history of Goodrich Castle was excellent. Glad I found your channel, always nice to find fellow castle lovers!

[@govisitcastles]

Always interested in the paranormal! We think you'll quite enjoy our next video as this one in particular is renowned for its ghosts

[@EVP-Voices]

@@govisitcastles lovely, I look forward to it!

[@WyeindependantMedia]

dont forget to check what the stain glass window has reference to, its another very interesting story.

[@matthewedwards-x4y]

I hope to visit one day. I am William Marshal, 24 great grandson

[@jay10.274]

So glad I found your channel! Incredibly entertaining and informative. Love your professional presentation style! I wish your new channel great success!

[@govisitcastles]

Thanks Jessy! We have the first part of a very special castle premiering tomorrow. Really glad you like it!

No mention of one of the main builders and residents of Goodrich, Joan de Valence, granddaughter of William Marshal? The 'Mac-Mac' tower probably relates not to 'Macbeth' but to 'Machmurchada' - Isabelle de Claire's mother was Aoife, daughter of Diarmait Machmurchada of Leinster. Isabelle de Clare being wife to William Marshal.

[@waynehieatt5962]

hmm Godric / Goodrich is a an Anglo-saxon name, but castle was built by the Normans. Was he a Saxon who made good under William (very rare) or was he a Norman who took his saxon wife's family name (rare but not as rare as the former)? My own Old English family name was taken by a Plantagenet era knight when he was married off to an heiress in Somerset (unfortunately not related, it's a toponymic surname)

[@HugoReis-wh9ld]

The altar is 11th century
