The Mullet come up the mouth of the river Ogmore and it is said that it is possible to cross the river in front of Ogmore Castle on the heads of the fish instead of using the crossing stones at high tide. I've never tried that and I doubt that it is true.

Hello from the States. Very informative and entertaining video. My bucket list of things to do and places to see when I eventually visit Wales keeps getting bigger. Will rewatch along with the three pub lunches and other walking videos this afternoon as I wait for the Super Bowl. Take care and stay well.

Very interesting! I think Caerphilly and Pembroke are competitive with Four Edward I castles in North Wales. And I also think Chepstow castle is another good castle, could put it on 4 or 5.

I think that Caerphilly and Kidwelly castle are great to visit. One castle I think should have got on the list is Chepstow castle. Such a lovely setting beside the river

Hi Marcus awesome live video tour I enjoyed it. Wales is very historical and beautiful to visit. In Canada where I live in Ontario we have some beautiful and historical sites also. Have a great day. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. See you next video 😀 greetings from Canada

You know, you grow up in South Wales and you accept what is around you, loving it but taking no notice of it, really. Then, you move away and realise what you once had on your doorstep and it becomes so precious and you talk about it and want to see it all again. Hence the reason I am saying this after moving away from South Wales. I wish I was back there!

It is an interesting place but the castle which we see today is slightly later (15th century I think) and built as a county seat. But agree it is an imposing structure and with a visit.

I've visited both Kidwelly & Carreg Cennen and loved the atmosphere, and buildings, Kidwelly has a lovely inner walled courtyard with immaculate grass to sit on where you can really absorb the feel of the place.. We were lucky enough some years ago to actually stay in a cottage at the base of Carreg Cennen, I have had two experiences on both occasions that we visited, and with my family, if interested in ghost stories let me know will divulge. Carreg Cennen is just stunning and although a ruin the views are a must, and at the time we had to walk through sheep to get up there. King Charles's fav castle too, and he regularly painted it apparently.

I went on a school trip around some of the castles in South Wales and was told by the guide that the leaning tower in Caerphilly was due to subsidance . Raglan Castle is worth a vist too and Chepstow

Yes, it is subsidence but it does look amazing and you can see why stories spread. Agree, Raglan is definitely worth a visit but it was a built a bit late for my list.

Interesting Marcus. I think Caerphilly and Pembroke are my favourite. I've always liked Castell Coch. But sadly that wouldn't count being a rich man's folly rebuilt by William Burges for the 3rd Marquess of Bute. It's still a majestic sight though.

Yes, Castell Coch is great but as you said, a rich man's folly. Although the site was a location of a 13th-century castle.
