    Liz was brilliant and the fact that's her favourite spot on the whole island says a great deal for it! Beautiful scenery up there...
    Thanks

    I did enjoy that, that place is so unassuming, yet it has so much history! I can understand why Liz likes it so much.
    Well done 👍

    Splendid video - well done Liz.
    The sea is so blue, unlike here on the East Coast, where it tends to be a murky green.

    Fabulous view as well I remember, everyone should visit the island at least once. There ar3 so many places to visit in such a small area. Some where a t home I still have the ramblers map of the Isle Of Wight showing the many walks.

      If only the ferry crossing was a bit cheaper!

    a brilliant narrated history of the pepper pot by liz….found it quite interesting indeed. reminded me of a nice place I once visited long ago...the Ardmore round tower and St Declans oratory in county Waterford...well worth a visit if you find yourself in that part of Ireland.

    • @RichardVobes

      I must go to Ireland at some point. Thanks Shaun!

    Hello. Thank you so much for this. I am currently working on a lighthouse painting project and wanted to start with this medieval building. I just love the story behind it. Delightful :-)

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 років тому

      Fabulous - good luck with the project.

    Wow! I can just imagine Liz as a little girl gambling up that hill to the 'pepperpot'. How lovely and informative too!

    • @RichardVobes

      Oh yes - what a lovely place to set the imagination on fire!

    Fascinating video, Ive driven past the tower a few times when visiting the Island but never really knew much about it other than its name.

    • @RichardVobes

      You do know! :) Thanks for watching Sid!

    I run and work on St Catherine's Island in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. Before the fort, that is now situated there was built, there was a chapel called St Catherine's that was built around the same time and looked very similar to this one. Like this one featured in the video, it was also ransacked by Henry VIII

    I didn't know that the Isle of Wight had such lovely places !

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 років тому

      It is up there for all to see, but I guess you need to know where. :)

    You beat me to the punch line - it looks like a rocket!🚀 Joking aside, I really enjoyed this vid. Liz did a very good job & was very informative w/ the history of the "Pepperpot."

    Any chance you can go to Ventnor and show us the GB3IW HAM radio repeater site?

      I will have to go back sometime and look it up - thanks for the tip!

    Yes I’ll go with the first space rocket built by the O Milligan’s of Spike! It would have flown but for two errors! 1,it was to be powered by peat(doesn’t create the whoosh needed for a propellant),2,they cemented it’s foundations in the ground(impedes momentum)!! But apart from that,they could have been the first on the moon!?!

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 років тому

      And I could have been the pilot! Only I don't like heights!
