    Thank You for posting. On another UA-cam Channel this lady posted she went to Llansteffan Castle on a trip in her college days and saw a face of a female ghost that really frightened her, she's never forgotten that image, her comment brought me to your channel to know about this castle. So much history here, it doesn't surprise me.

      I always think about who was the person who laid some of those stones.

    Thanks, Marcus.
    Llansteffan is a lovely spot that I haven't visited in a long, long time.
    But way back when, Mamgu was honorary mayoress.
    A bit of a celebrity in Wales in the 1900s, she took first place (soprano) in two Eisteddfodau and took holidays in Llansteffan.
    The locals made quite a celebration of it.

    Beautiful castle I enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see more soon. In your next video could you do Sudeley Castle. I heard it's a great place to visit. And it's haunted too. Your videos are always enjoyable. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀

      Yes, there are plenty of castles to see in Wales and all over the UK.

    Thank you for yet another gem of a video detailing the fascinating history and archaeology of South Wales.
    I should perhaps point out if only for Mel's benefit, a little known fact that in its heyday, Llansteffan Castle produced some of the best jumbo sausages in all of South Wales, This explains why the Welsh and the Normans fought over it for as long as they did. Although, alas, there weren't any chips or curry sauce to be had back in those days - which is a shame.

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 роки тому +4

      Yew, the great "Wars of the Sausages" back in 1258. We had to wait until later for the first curry sauce mine to be discovered.

      Ha ha!.. Times were really hard back then. Often they had to add bread crumbs. It was a big problem making both ends meat.

    A great video once again Marcus. I have been to this castle and it's a cracker. I would add if anybody is going there leave plenty of time for walking the area it's great. The history information as always was very interesting and informative. Thank you.

    Great weather at last mate. Thx for this video. Not been there. Altho' yes Larne.
    Unlikely to go there now tho. Not coming back for a few years yet.
    Tourist then I spose. 🤗
    Loved the presentation, almost like Sir David Attenborough. 😉
    I'm going to Cappadocia next week for a few days. Just 40 quid for two nights BnB.
    Look it up it's quite spectacular.
    I won't tell you I've been on Alanya beach today 31c.... 26c in the shade tho.
    That would be wrong of me.

      Thanks again for watching - we're going away again soon. Something equally as exotic - a caravan park near Poole! (it is cheap).
