OLD WARDOUR CASTLE | One Man's Mistake BLEW UP half this castle! | Walking Tour

Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire, England, tells a tale of medieval grandeur and historical upheaval. Built in the late 14th century by John, the 5th Lord Lovell, the castle was a testament to his status and affluence, characterized by a unique hexagonal design that set it apart from other English castles.
The Parliamentarian forces laid siege to Old Wardour Castle, resulting in significant damage and its eventual surrender in 1644. The castle was subsequently abandoned, leaving behind the captivating ruins that stand today. Managed by English Heritage, the castle attracts visitors who can explore the remnants of the octagonal tower, the chapel, and the surrounding grounds.

Alessa, I like the green 💚 here. High quality video and excellent 👌🏻

[@Dukeandbishop]

Fantastic castle, even in ruins and that grotto is an added bonus.

[@blendedtravels]

What an absolutely stunning castle! Wardour is still magnificent after all of these centuries. Your can tell just how grand it would have been just by the windows alone. Interesting that they filmed some scenes from Robin Hood at this castle. Thanks for the tour!

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi Alessa, the Castle ruins was stunning standing there as you walked up towards it. Loved the staircase going up to the next floor, with numerous rooms, the views from out on the balcony were amazing. The grotto was very intriguing. Loved the history and your narration and of course the drone footage showed the castle at its best, have a great week, see you soon x Julie and Tony x

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Hi Alessa & Brett! A very interesting and enjoyable video. I always admire your depth of research and love learning about the history of each place you visit. This was a wonderful medieval castle with such a rich history 🏰❤ As always, fabulous drone footage at the end 🤗

[@DonnaTaibossigai]

Awesome history and tour of this castle, which still looks great despite being half-destroyed. The views from above were pretty amazing.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Old Wardour is another local Castle, we go for walks and picnics around the woodlands and up around the huge manor in the distance, lovely area.

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Wow This property may not be large, but ruin is so tall and appearance is elegant in my opinion. Awe-moments Bitter history and the beauty of the ruin speak to us OMGoodness the building in the grotto??? Work of art...very unique architecture in small scale Loved the aerial footage...As if I were in the flight.... Well done both of YOU as always. Sending my gratitude to YOU..Wow...

[@GENerationXplorers]

Another superbly filmed and fabulously narrated video can see why you have visited this one a few times it’s a beaut and we love how the occupants of days gone by sound like Lord of the rings characters 😂 👍❤️

Beautiful castle and story, thanks for sharing again!

[@PhilipOlsen11]

Hi Alessa. That was great. Nice that you were able to still go up the status to get a better view as so often these runs don’t cater for it. Stunning building and great civil war back story 👌❤️

[@delta_shift]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Always so interesting histories behing them and it's always son incvredibly fascinating visiting and exploring them. Thanks nce again for the narration and the enchanting shots. I can really appreciate the essence of the sites in the best way! Hugs and happy time! Can you believe we're so close to Christmas? My huge like as always and much love from Milan! Renata

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

Awesome tour of this castle and wow what a history! Seems like owning a castle back in the day just meant you were constantly having to fight to hold onto ownership of it 😱 My romantic dreams of what Castle ownership once was has been firmly dispelled! I’ll take a humble cottage in the woods instead 🤣🤣 I enjoyed your informative and delightfully narrated history of this once great old castle and its embattled history.Kudos as well to Brett for the well done aerial flight over the area.

[@andreadistefanoMS]

Very interesting! The castle is suggestive. Thanks for this new video!

[@CharcenFlor]

Goodluck to your upcoming

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Thank you so much Charcen!

Another masterclass in video production. Nice one. You didn't have the problem I had. The site was being used for a wedding venue the day I went. Took me hours to film it. Still to edit and upload.

[@OutWithABrew]

Great video! Perfect for a rainy afternoon

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Lovely and interesting place. Nicely filmed. Best wishes.

Not too big compared to other site you have features, but still very impressive. The arch work is stunning.

[@JGucka]

As always this is a well made video of you. It was very interesting to watch. Many greetings 😀

[@AliceGoss]

Such a shame history wasn't kinder to the castle. Interesting history , however, what remains is quite substantial. Must have been quite splendid in its day.

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Another really interesting video 👍🙂

[@Metal-Detecting-NC]

I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. I love how smooth your video is. Do you use a gimbal camera?

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Hiya Mike, thank you so very much, you're so kind - we use the Gopro 11 with a Hohem Gimbal, the gimbal is excellent tbh!

[@seb-depp]

Visited twice and loved it. There was a dancing group that let us join... Interesting: Never knew about the stone circle. Seems you didn't visit it either.
