Yep. I can relate to this. More chance of activity like EVPs in the daytime. The whole night time investigating is down to the adrenaline rush me thinks 🤔

A truly magnificent ruined castle. I was struck by how smooth those stones in what you thought was an oubliette were. It makes me think of the desperate attempt of the prisoners to claw their way up to try to escape from it. Another thing that was quite eery was listening to the echoes from the visitors around the oubliette. Can you imagine hearing everything that was going on above you while you were imprisoned there starving with broken bones and not enough air to breathe. Simply awful. Those thin windows are known as arrow loops. Arrows could be shot through those thin gaps and still provide adequate cover for the archers who would be shooting arrows at the enemy. The cell was quite large so that while one archer restrung the next arrow on his bow and drew it the other archer could shoot. The cell also was designed to at least in part protect the archer from the elements. They possibly also had a brazier just outside to keep them warm and also act as an aide to firing lit arrows which would have wrapped cloth on the end dipped in tar. This castle shows a wonderful symphony of architectural design and features showing the contrast between Tudor expensive splendour and Norman expertise. I love the weather wearing on the Norman stonework. Very pleasing to the eye. And the magnificent arches and construction in those underground chambers. With their special windows which have solid stone shoots pointing upwards. In front of those windows would have been iron bars to prevent not only prisoners escaping also an entry point for enemies. Goodness what a lot to see and admire there. Shame what a pity that you had to go there when they had jousting displays. But of course the beautiful weather would always draw local crowds and tourists. I also would prefer to go to such a venue when it was a lot quieter. Nothing to do with cameras but I like to be away from crowds. I have often thought that if I went to England to see its features I would check to see where these events were being held and run in the opposite direction. 🙂

It truly is a beautiful location and I would imagine in its heyday would have been spectacular 😳 I was moaning about too many visitors and the extra cost due to it being a special event day 🤣 I was just being a grumpy old bastard. Ha. Two years later, and I'm now over it. Lol.

I can understand your annoyance at the extra charge, but for these special events it costs more for clean up etc.And I'm sure, even with the membership, the expenses for restoration, clerical and staff barely get by. You should see the high entry fees to visit many historical sites in the USA...the Alamo for example in my state of Texas. But toe it is more than worth it to preserve history for my children and grandchildren...thanks for a great look around!

I fully agree. I was miffed off at the time (2022) but have come to ponder on that over the last year or so. We're luck to have these places and even with the extra cost it's worth it. Thank you for your comments 👍

Robert Dudley was known to have a joining apartments. To Elizabeth’s chamber , why are you doing these tours without knowing this! Ok it’s great for the person that knows nothing about this but it’s very misleading for them.

Not really sure I understand your comment to be honest 🤔 My video isn't a 'tour' it's a bit of fun wandering around a cool, interesting location. I don't do history on this stuff. I just appreciate it for what it is. Plenty of other channels do history walks around places. My channel isn't one of them.
