The castle ruins are beautiful, the tower remains are impressive. ! I really enjoyed the story and history of this one! What a brave woman! 😊

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you very much! DL, you're awesome. A brave woman indeed, I for sure wouldn't want to fake my death to escape! But I suppose in those moments what do you do!? Thank you for your comments and your support!

@PinnedonPlaces Thank you for the pin 📌

[@HereToCheers]

Ludgershall Castle might be in ruins, but it’s filled with stories and so much character! Empress Matilda’s daring escape and King Henry’s updates to the castle bring the medieval history of this site to life. The tower and grand hall must have been spectacular in their prime. It’s wonderful to know such a unique place is free to visit and open to the public. Thanks for sharing these moments and the rich history of Ludgershall!

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much guys, I always enjoy reading your comments and so glad that you've enjoyed it! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! x

[@Kovaction]

We missed the premiere :( We love exploring castle ruins! Thank you for sharing.

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

While in Wales last year - I would sit and ponder between the castle walls we were visiting. Had I had tie I may have written a song or a book even. Just lie this castle the stones tell a story and sometimes one can just feel the history. The stones breath the out into the open. Your story telling proves how weighted some of those lives have been. Awesome episode - as that's what it is like being connected to this channel. Ongoing episodes of amazing stories. ❤🇳🇱🙋‍♀🥝

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Ahh, lovely Anita, you're so amazing. Thank you so very much for the kind comments and for watching. Wales is a very special and inspiring place, so it's a no brainer that you felt that way. Really do appreciate your time, support and your comments! Thank you always, wishing you a wonderful week ahead!

It's amazing to see, that there are still enough left of the ruin, that you can still see the layout of the castle ruin. The drone footage looks amazing.

Hi Alessa & Brett! What a great name - Ludgershall! 😍 Fabulous ruins. The castle must have been so impressive! Wow, what an amazing story about escaping in a coffin pretending to be a corpse! Fascinating history and brilliant videography and drone footage! Thanks, guys! 🤗❤

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thanks so much Martin, always appreciate your support!

[@AliceGoss]

This is one of the more interesting castle designs. Nice location and a castle that in it's day was probably far nicer than perhaps we know. I remember my visit there a few years ago.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Totally agree, a fascinating site with an incredible backstory! Appreciate your time and support :)

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hello Alessa, what an amazing site, the ruins that still stand were stunning, loved your narration and hearing the story of the girl Matilda being captured and then leaving in a coffin, id be too scared to do that. Enjoyed hearing the history. Bretts drone footage was brilliant, take care both, Julie and Tony x

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Hiya Julie and Tony! Thank you so much for your lovely comments and your support - you're both such wonderful people. It's crazy isn't it?! What a way to escape? It worked but wow... scary! Thank you again for all your love! x

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

WOW all I can say is THANKS PinnedonPlaces you both lighten up my Sundays. Alessa is amazing as always. Brett editing and flying on another level. Think that says it all

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Ahh Jim you are a sweet talker! Thank you so much for all the support and your time!

[@eyeintheskydrone4k]

@PinnedonPlaces 😆 it's great to see other people with as much interest in old historic buildings. POP just make it even more interesting. You both have a lovely weekend. 2024 showreel coming shortly. A mammoth 74hrs to edit for a 9minute video oh and a Classic tune 👌 😀 😄

[@seb-depp]

Cool. On my list for next year. Thanks for the preview!

[@relicsruins]

Nice video. I actually quite like sites like this - it requires even more imagination to recreate its past glory in your mind 😊

[@PinnedonPlaces]

I agree, it's always so interesting to research these fascinating sites to find out way more than the ruins let on. Thank you so much for commenting and watching!

[@traveledits_1]

Amazing! 😊

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you for your comments and your support!

[@OutandaboutwithAndy]

Sorry I missed the premiere. There isn't much left, but the tower is still impressive.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Never say sorry please, thank you so much for all your support! :D

[@pedrozatravel]

I imagine hunting in the 1400s must have been quite an affair. I imagine many people on horses, dogs, and hawks. It must have been quite a sight to behold.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

It must have been, what a sight to behold like you say! Thank you John, you're so kind!

[@AstroAndRemi]

Wow! Very different castle construction. Are there documents/ photographs of the 1960s excavation activity? The drone footage really helped me to visualize the size. I’m curious to know if the current earthen mound is original or was recreated using the dirt removed during excavation. Thanks always for your amazing video and one take historical narration. 🙏

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much for your kind comments and support! I believe there are some documents with the activity and the finds that they managed to excavate. It's really quite an interesting site, spanning thousands of years, from the Iron age to the present. Just mindblowing that it's sat behind someone's home! Hehe. Thank you for commenting :D

[@sneakysweeno]

Great video i am new to your channel and really enjoying your video 😊👍👍

[@PinnedonPlaces]

REALLY appreciate your time and support! Thank you, glad you're enjoying! :D

[@sneakysweeno]

@PinnedonPlaces you very welcome have a great night 👍👍

[@chrisdarcy7557]

I'm from Newcastle and spent some time working that way, I made some friends and we explored this castle late at night to give a creepy environment about 3/4 years ago 😂

[@chrisdarcy7557]

Also like to add, I miss sands Chinese food nearby 😂

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Haha, that's awesome about the Chinese! Fair play! Thank you so much for commenting, I can only imagine how creepy it would have been in the evening!

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Love the area but always a shame to see so little of it surviving 👍❤️

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Completely agree!! Thank you Phil for watching and commenting! x
