Warwick is pronounced Warrick, so is Warwick Davies.

Manchester Town Hall is magnificent. I've been privileged to go into the bell tower when the bells were being rung for a wedding and also look after the last water powered lift/elevator that worked on the water system

My younger brother lives in warwick very close to the castle . I often visit the castle grounds. I live in Tamworth, the ancient capital of Mercia which also has a castle. Our castle is rather small compared to Warwick but we love it. The two castles are linked by a famous woman. Her name is Ethelfleda, she was the daughter of King Alfred the Great.

Warwick Castle was used for various scenes in the film starring Kevin Costner "Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves".

Went here a few times as a kid, there used to be a HUGE model of a bear in the front entrance (does anybody else remember this?)😂 I (as a kid) was petrified of it and my dad used to have to carry me past it to get inn🤣🤣🤣

Great video mate! The Isis comments obviously you miss heard the video

Warwick castle is amazing, went there for my 40th. It’s a full day out. Spectacular

Made me laugh, when you said cctv camera would have saved a lot of bullshit back in the day so true. 😄

Warwick Castle has tons of interesting history behind it, I put up a video on it the other day. I got a few other castles in the series too "Secrets Of Great British Castles - Series 1 Episode 3 - Warwick Castle - 2015 HD"

I've not managed to go round Warwick Castle, but I have visited the beautiful and ancient church of St Mary's, Warwick. It is where many of the Earls of Warwick are buried. There are the tombs of at least two of the Beauchamp (pronounced beecham) Earls of Warwick: Thomas and his wife have a beautiful alabaster tomb, but the tomb of Richard is huge, with a huge, beautiful, effigy. Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick was important enough to be made Guardian of the boy King Henry VI. I think he died about the 1440s. There are carvings of his relatives on the tomb, and the carving of his son-in-law Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, is believed to be deliberately unflattering. Richard Neville helped King Edward IV depose Henry VI in 1461, but he fell out with Edward IV and finally deposed him in 1470, putting Henry VI back on the throne! But Edward IV attacked back and defeated and killed Warwick at the Battle of Barnet, which was I think February 1471. Richard II (not the more famous III) was a nasty little psychopath, reigning from 1377-1399. But the nobles who opposed him, including an Earl of Warwick - I think Thomas - were little better. Richard II promoted a Beauchamp cousin; but Thomas resented this. He was the head of the family! So after defeating the King, the Merciless Parliament got the Beauchamp cousin executed in 1388.

If you ever make it across the pond then Warwick Castle is an absolute must visit!! Incredible view over Warwick from the battlements that spread out like a spiders web with the castle at the centre 👍🇬🇧

The ceiling at Warwick Castle was not destroyed by ISIS. The temple on which it was based, in Palmyra, was destroyed. ISIS doesn't attack English castles.

The Cedar Drawing Room, named for the cedar panels on the walls, is the largest of the drawing rooms at Warwick Castle. It served as the ballroom after it was finished in 1670. Holding the distinction of being the only remaining version of such a unique and opulent ceiling, the Green Drawing Room was created in 1750. It replicates a Roman temple in Palmyra, Syria that sadly fell during a conflict in 2015. all i can find out it was not green drawing room but in Syria the only terror related story was in 2017 ARMED police became an unexpected attraction in their own right at Warwick Castle today and that was after an attack in Manchester so what i can gather room still how it is as no news reports regarding it and if it happens im sure i seen it local news but first time hearing about it so as It replicates a Roman temple in Palmyra, Syria that what prob destroyed

We do have areas in the UK that you might call cookie cutter housing, but the center of most towns are usually very old looking, plus a lot of villages look like their straight ot of the middle ages, well not quite middle ages but definitely old. This videos visuals were pretty good but the narration wasn't.

just 4 miles away from my house in kenilworth, and kenilworth has pretty big castle to but less of its standing but still a nice castle as lot history. warwick castle did my driving test in narrow streets Warwick and lots other towns and big roads. warwick castle even took part in one shows there, medieval shows all in period costume, me brother were young so no going in to battle but we costume and walked show birds prey and real bow arrows, uncle made a lot fighting equipment even made items to be put on display in castle. growing up we took part lot shows all over wales and odd one in england was a lot fun, and hits you see then in battle they get carried away at times and hits leave bruising what lasts for weeks even with armor, mum uncle took part in battles too as well as bird prey stand and made weapons and armor

Made me smile and remember when you said I built these for ten years, I only had two years building palettes here in the UK, about 40 years ago and haven't thought sbout that for decades 🙂 I do think its cool how we preserve historical stuff like this and I enjoyed watching you react to this, you have a good appreciation for historical buildings and events.

Don't worry about stopping the video to talk, it's best if you do, or rewinding to check something out, its all good in order to get your full reaction. So 👍

Just to let you know.. '_Warwick_' Castle ( _and_ Warwick, the actor) are pronounced 'Warrick' ... The second 'w' is _silent_ - as, indeed are others like the 'wich' of '_Greenwich_' (just south of London's River Thames* - pronounced 'Temz' - in South London), and the 'wich' of '_Norwich_' (in the East Anglian county of Norfolk), and also, '_Dulwich_ (in S.E.London), and again, another silent 'w' in the London borough of '_Southwark_' (pronounced '_Suthark_') amongst others... 😏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧🙂🖖

One thing I'd like to point out before I finishing watching, in the days when castles were working buildings, no tree's would have been allowed to grow in the vicinity, these days though they are allowed to do so and do obstruct the the real size sometimes.

Warwick sounds like Warrick the w is silent in most names ending in wick (not all wicks, some are sounded, but many are not) in the UK.

Warwick is a fabulous castle and not far from where I live but there are hundreds of castles in the UK some not so grand but many that are just as amazing.😊

So many wonderful places not mentioned.

Hopefully the buildings they build today will not last 800 years, most new buildings should be demolished as they are ugly!

Let st Ives down in this video

Great video. You could easily do the top 500 and still have loads more to see, may take you a while though!

Its funny but everyone thinks of rain when they think of the uk.new york,rome and sydney all have more,but it is fairly overcast alot of the time. We have a similar climate to seattle.

This is a very tantalising video. Years ago, there was immense municipal pride, and the towns and cities vied with each other to build magnificent Town Halls. Manchester Town Hall is one of the grand-daddies! It must be one of the greatest bits of Victorian architecture in the world, although I have not seen it; this video has showed little of the magnificence. I was born in what is now Greater Manchester. (Did you notice his accent? I'm pretty sure that's the Manchester accent.) But I moved from there as a kid, and I spent many years in Birmingham, which also has magnificence, in two buildings, the Council House and Town Hall.

Hi, very interesting. The rooms inside are magnificent and worth a look at. There's many other fine buildings and institutions in Manchester. John Rylands Library is very interesting. The Town Hall is being fully renovated and is expected to be completed summer 2026. It was opened in 1877.

You should come here dude ❤❤

Cannuck mate. ALL of this belongs to us, English. NO King will survive without the will of the people.

I believe that much of the Castle was remodelled by King George IV in the 1820s, so much of what you see dates from then rather than from mediaeval times. However, when they rebuilt after the 1992 fire, they discovered that the original mediaeval walls were still there behind everything, and I believe the Round Tower is original, as also is the massive and beautiful St George's Chapel, where Elizabeth II is buried. I don't think you may have realised that the Royal art collection is one of the finest in the world; for example, there are 100 Leonardo da Vinci drawings. But there are so many more castles, most much bigger and more ancient than St Michael's Mount. Caerphilly, Caernarvon, Harlech, Beaumaris, Carreg Cennen, Pembroke, Raglan, Chepstow, Goodrich, Warwick, Stokesay, Bodiam, Dover, the Tower of London, Alnwick, Bamburgh, Edinburgh, Tantallon, Dunnottar, Stirling, to name a few. Castles which are a bit modified and still lived by their families include Arundel, the beautiful Broughton Castle, and Berkeley. Then there are all the 'stately homes', often with fabulous art collections, such as Blenheim Palace, Chatsworth, Woburn, Althorpe, Badminton, and many more. Many mediaeval castles did have toilets, called 'garderobes', set into the walls. I'm afraid the waste usually went into the moat!

St ives the tide goes out and comes in ,in a day 😊

Look up warwick castle uk 😊

The bits open to the public that they missed out was St Georges Chapel - no photography and the Dolls Houses - kept in semi darkness to stop degrading the fabrics. The Dolls Houses have a narrow route around it which creates a bottle neck and long queues. I think they have a changing of the guard everyday during the summer and on certain days during the winter. The website publishes days and times. From outside the castle you can see the new guard march and band in and the old guard march out for free. The actual change over takes place outside the chapel and you need to arrive in time to make your way through part of the castle to get there if you want to see it. The big ass piece of grass sometimes have military band playing on it after the guard changes. The headphones have commentary and are available in lots of different languages near the entrance to the Castle. It is quite expensive but if you get the ticket date stamped before you leave it is valid for a whole year. I don't think the castle has ever been besieged or taken by force but the keep at the top of the mound would be the final point of retreat.

I live just up the road from Windsor castle. Tbh the novelty has worn off. I live in one of the king’s properties ( crown estates) cost an arm and a leg to rent. But you don’t get hassle . Good landlord 👍 castle beautiful. We see nearly every day outside our house the royals going and coming. The sad thing is like you say “ people get used to it “ and don’t give it a second thought. Sad really

I hope you find more videos that show and perhaps describe the interior more,, i went there as a little kid in the 80s and saw quite a lot, far more than these slightly disappointing videos 🎉 other places that are recommended Arundel Castle,, much more approachable in size and has a great armoury room incl, the giant sword of Bevis,, Avebury stone circle and Solsbury Hill, two neolithic monuments one contains a Victorian village and unlike Stonehenge you are free to roam,, the city walls of York and the York minster cathedral,, Canterbury Cathedral that features in the tales by Chaucer,, Tintagel Castle the legendary birthplace of Uther Pendragon,, Hever Castle in Kent a Tudor stronghold,, Skara Brae in Scotland an extremely ancient village,, the Pitts River museum & Natural History museum in Oxford,, Westminster Abbey that holds the coronation,, you may even like Stratford upon Avon, Shakespeare birthplace,, or Blenheim Palace Churchill's birthplace,, Harlech Castle is formidable in Wales so is too Caerphilly Castle,, the Giants Causeway and the faery flag of Dunvegan both are fascinating,, Geevor tin mine and the pew of Atargatis in Zennor church,,the Staffordshire Hoard at Birmingham museum,, the life and writings of Alfred Wainwright 🎉😊etc etc

Hi, in the UK there's lots of beautiful, unbelievable non royal buildings. Take a look at Manchester Town Hall for a start. Although Manchester is a city we generally don't have city halls, they are all called town or village halls. Northern England has some fabulous buildings built during the Industrial revolution era. Have a search. Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and many more. 😊. If you start with a search for Manchester historical buildings and institutions it will give you an idea of the number of amazing places there are.

Hello again! I used to work just around the corner from Windsor castle. Funnily enough, it never impressed me that much - it's just TOO huge - you just can't appreciate how big it is - also - it's way too touristy! Haha! Anyway, I have another recommendation for you, as I see you love castles. Imagine you have $32million spare and want to buy a castle! Well, come and have a look at this one - this is what you#ll get for your money! czcams.com/video/G0zzkL_nnT0/video.html

Of course we have netshits and prime etc,etc TV licence is a scam BBC is shit I don't watch it i don't know why the BBC can't be like Netflix don't pay don't receive especially with how much they charge, TV licence has always been there

Windsor Castle is _one_ of the actual lived-in _homes_ to the British Royal Family, so their private quarters are closed off to the public's access... 🙂That's likely to be why you didn't get to see as much of it as you thought you might.

I didn't quite hear what you said... Did you say about Windsor Castle being bigger / more impressive (?) than "St.Michael's Mount" ? Or "Mound" ? It's _Mount_ - 'St Michaels Mount' - down there in Cornwall. I've never been (I'm in a wheelchair now, so all of those steps would be beyond me / and my daughter / carer who pushes me...!! (because my wheelchair has a 'fixed axle', so cannot be steered easily by me) ...but like you, I enjoy watching videos which show and explain details about the history (etc), of our amazing and ancient country's heritage. I shall be 71 this coming August ('24) but I am continuing to learn through videos such as the ones you watch, react to and share with us - thank-you, as I don't travel these days... (except to frequent hospital appointments !!) so, watching YT videos, learning along with some of you Reactors, I can enjoy seeing the UK - etc - through fresh young eyes and well as my own old ones!! Thanks again. I hope you're enjoying learning as you watch these too. 🤞🇨🇦🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🇬🇧🙂🖖

I loved visiting Windsor Castle, one of my favourites. I was blown away when I walked down the aisle of St George’s chapel to discover I was standing right above Henry Vllls burial tomb

Interesting reaction, im glad you got to see some of the inside of the castle. Before the St George's hall fire had spread to far the castle staff dragged out most of the stuff inside, i think only two items of historical interest were destroyed, and the walls were left mostly undamaged, so its only the roof that had to be completely restored. Even so that took five years and cost about 80 million pounds to fully repair I believe.

So... You're inside now, eh... Enjoy? 🇨🇦🤞🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🖖

That large "wind power eyesore"are more commonly known as a blot on a beautiful landscape.

It's a shame Bradford weren't on here

Wikipedia: What is swanning in British slang? Modern British use it to mean "to travel, move or behave in a relaxed way for pleasure, and without caring that others may feel annoyed.” That's how the Cambridge Dictionary puts it. What is the origin of the term "swan song"?12 Aug 2020 What is the old meaning of swan? From Middle English swan, from Old English swan, from Proto-West Germanic *swan, from Proto-Germanic *swanaz (“swan”, literally “the singing bird”), from Proto-Indo-European *swonh₂-/*swenh₂- (“to sing, make sound”).

You seem to have a fascination for really ancient buildings and monuments, i'd recommend you have a look at some Digging for Britain, its all archeological stuff, they do a lot if programs about ancient buildings and monuments and the people that inhabited Britain in the more recent and ancient past, some of the oldest dwellings found on this island are found in Scotland.

As for feeling emotional when viewing some of this old and ancient stuff, yep sometimes, i think it's when you realise our ancestors were the ones doing all this hundreds and sometimes thousands of years ago, I'd guess some of your ancestry comes from the British isles as well, and certainly mainland europe too, just like me, and it does hit you like that occasionally.

Enjoyed watching this reaction video, it was informative, though probably a bit to long, there are videos that show the inside of Windsor castle, very opulent and palatial. I'd like to see you react to one if you can find one you can use.
