LOST In The Woods - 'SPOOKY' Ruins And Abandoned Churches, Bluestone Pembrokeshire

We spent a few days at the Bluestone Resort in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Just outside the resort, you’ll find Minwear and Canaston Wood as well as the spooky ruins of the fortified manor house known as Castell Coch.
The walk starts at Castell Coch which was only 400 yards from our Bluestone lodge. The late medieval castle can be found in the woods at these coordinates.
Latitude: 51.7883 / 51°47’17"N
Longitude: -4.7975 / 4°47’50”W
It is definitely an interesting part of hidden Wales. The spooky ruins are very atmospheric and we’re surprised we haven’t heard any local ghost stories about a ‘haunted castle’!
From the castle, the walking route takes us down to the ancient pilgrim's path known as the Knights Way. From here is a short distance to Canaston Wood.
While exploring Canaston Wood which was once part of the medieval Narbeth Forest we find the abandoned Mounton Chapel also known as St Michael’s Chapel. The church sits in a field known as chapel field.
Unfortunately, the ruins were overgrown and fenced off so you can’t get that close to it.
So if you’re visiting Pembrokeshire and staying at the Bluestone National Park Resort, it’s definitely worth exploring the surrounding Pembrokeshire countryside.

Not so far away from Bluestone, you can walk the ancient Preseli Hills kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnrPp3ekfJd5aqc

Would it be possible to get the story about Knights Way. I bet the reason why it was named Knights Way is a fantastic story in it's self. Thank you from Southern Missoura!!!!

[@lcook0825]

Very interesting area. Seems like ancient times. Glad to see Mel again..

[@flydriveexplore]

Typical Wales (and most of the UK). Holiday resort and theme park in one area. Just over the fence, medieval ruins and ancient sites.

[@maggienificent]

You two are so cute. Glad you were able to get out somewhere a bit different, and lovely walk.

[@flydriveexplore]

Yes, it was good to get out. "Cute" that's a first for me (Marcus) for a long time.

[@andycoles4588]

👍👍Nice one . Very interesting . 🤩 Haven't been to Bluestone yet but looks like it's worth a visit.

[@flydriveexplore]

It was good to get away, you can lose track of what day it is.

[@livestreamsrecordingsuk4529]

Wow love the creepy music at the beginning & love the Welsh people on my visits .

[@terrycollett1461]

Great video,looks a bit like my garden.Keep up the good work.

[@flydriveexplore]

The natural look.

[@livesportsvideo]

I think Marcus that Mel as a long suffering wife should start her own channel, somewhere along the lines of "What's he upto now?" , or "Shopping with Mel." You decide. Another great production.

[@flydriveexplore]

I have told Mel she should start her own channel but she's busy enough already. I should put a video out of all the outtakes and what Mel actual says, definitely not suitable for family viewing!

[@VirtualFeats]

Great video. We do a lot of trail running - sending a like love and sub from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks for watching. It is a great area for walking running and biking.

[@VirtualFeats]

@@flydriveexplore Ah thank you really must give it a try!!!

[@David_Nurse]

Thanks Marcus for another enjoyable video. Shame the church looked so overgrown. I guess the wire around was another H&S precaution. It's a real shame that before too long it will fall down and that's another piece of history gone. Thanks as always for your efforts and insight. BTW It was very nice to meet you today, if only briefly. Well done and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks again. The remains of the church did look quite unstable. Probably see you around Porthcawl again soon.

[@pauljones1350]

Mel misses those already cooked fish and chips ,nice lodge though make me tea oooooh she said have fun

[@flydriveexplore]

Make me tea, didn't go down too well!

[@NeathVideos]

I was parked outside the seabank hotel today,and I saw you and Mel,crossing the road and walking towards the pier😊 hope you got to see the rescue mission exercise with the helicopter?

[@flydriveexplore]

Making the most of the sun before the next storm. We missed the rescue exercise.

Thanks again, we did learn a bit of Welsh in school, Mel speaks more of it than me. It now a compulsory subject until 16.

'Tolerate' may be a better word
