    Hello Alessa and Brett, what a beautiful Castle ruin, when you were at the top looking down it was very very high, amazing views. Loved the spiral staircase and the fireplaces, lovely narration and the drone footage show the castle off in its glory. Thank you so much for sharing, have a great week, Julie and Tony x

    Hi Alessa & Brett! What a magnificent castle! It's massive and mighty. The views from the top were stunning. Loved the spiral staircase. I would have loved to see it back in the day. I would definitely visit if I was in South Wales. The drone footage was fabulous. You could really appreciate the scale of the building from above. Thanks for a very enjoyable video ❤❤

    this castle was HUGE! this one was really spectacular alessa & brett. this really is what you imagine when someone says castle. and i really like the bits of green lawn throughout the grounds. they really highlight the stone around it. i just kept trying to imagine what it must have looked like in entirety in it's heyday. have a great week! 🛴❤

    Wow!
    That opening shot was amazing with the blue sky and the plane going over.
    I seem to remember going to Raglan Castle (I think it is near the lovely town of Usk) many years ago but I had forgotten all about its history, so this was a good reminder.
    It remains a very impressive structure.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Take care,

    We love this castle and were there last year when they had people dressed in medieval clothes. The castle must have been absolutely stunning. We didn't know that poor Herbert met such a gruesome end. Thank you for bringing some sunshine to Wales. We agree that it is one of the best but we do like Chepstow Castle on the River. Thanks for the great video! Elaine, Mike, Samuel and Thomas 😍😎👬

      I totally agree! Thank you so much Elaine, Mike, Samuel and Thomas, love your comments! What a treat to have people dressed up in the attire, so fun!! Thank you so much again, I have to say for me it's Raglan, BUT Chepstow is mighty special too, I think Wales just really shines when it comes to the fortresses' that were built! Hope you're all well!

    The story of Raglan could have been so different if it wasn't for Lord Herbert. Another act of destruction from Thomas Fairfax. He destroyed so much after the English Civil War. Such a shame as Raglan could have been as impressive as Windsor Castle which is I believe is where Herbert is buried.

    I’ve just revisited this castle to film it properly ( not just drone ) and I’m amazed after rewatching how we filmed certain pieces so similar. I’m currently on a mission to re film some of the castles that I visited to film them properly, with the GoPro… well the ones I think are worth doing anyhow, which this one most certainly was. 🫡
