Thanks, Marcus. Llansteffan is a lovely spot that I haven't visited in a long, long time. But way back when, Mamgu was honorary mayoress. A bit of a celebrity in Wales in the 1900s, she took first place (soprano) in two Eisteddfodau and took holidays in Llansteffan. The locals made quite a celebration of it.
Thank you for yet another gem of a video detailing the fascinating history and archaeology of South Wales. I should perhaps point out if only for Mel's benefit, a little known fact that in its heyday, Llansteffan Castle produced some of the best jumbo sausages in all of South Wales, This explains why the Welsh and the Normans fought over it for as long as they did. Although, alas, there weren't any chips or curry sauce to be had back in those days - which is a shame.
Thank You for posting. On another CZcams Channel this lady posted she went to Llansteffan Castle on a trip in her college days and saw a face of a female ghost that really frightened her, she's never forgotten that image, her comment brought me to your channel to know about this castle. So much history here, it doesn't surprise me.
Beautiful castle I enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see more soon. In your next video could you do Sudeley Castle. I heard it's a great place to visit. And it's haunted too. Your videos are always enjoyable. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀
A great video once again Marcus. I have been to this castle and it's a cracker. I would add if anybody is going there leave plenty of time for walking the area it's great. The history information as always was very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Great weather at last mate. Thx for this video. Not been there. Altho' yes Larne. Unlikely to go there now tho. Not coming back for a few years yet. Tourist then I spose. 🤗 Loved the presentation, almost like Sir David Attenborough. 😉 I'm going to Cappadocia next week for a few days. Just 40 quid for two nights BnB. Look it up it's quite spectacular. I won't tell you I've been on Alanya beach today 31c.... 26c in the shade tho. That would be wrong of me. 👋😎
@@flydriveexplore Poole is okay. Worked in Bournemouth, stayed in The Travel Inn Poole 😗 Keeping my fingers crossed; you'll have good weather again. Bye-bye both.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the local story.
A very nice castle and the scenery was beautiful. Weather was grand as well. Cheers Marcus.
Yes. We've had some great weather recently.
Went there yesterday as we're on holiday in Llansteffan. Fantastic place with amazing views. Well worth a visit
Agree, it's definitely worth a visit.

Yew, the great "Wars of the Sausages" back in 1258. We had to wait until later for the first curry sauce mine to be discovered.
Ha ha!.. Times were really hard back then. Often they had to add bread crumbs. It was a big problem making both ends meat.

They could make stone talk in them days Marcus look at the architecture it fascinating every one of them thanks for posting
I always think about who was the person who laid some of those stones.

Yes, there are plenty of castles to see in Wales and all over the UK.
Amazing
It is.
Love places like this!
Us too!
Thank you, enjoyed the images and information.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting and amazing views of the Welsh coast line.
Definitely great views along this part of the coast.

Thanks for watching, It was actually the first time I actually visited the place.
Be seeing you 👌
I love these videos. Takes me to places I've never been and probably won't. I look forward to them.
There are so many intersting places, many of which we didn't know about.
Brilliant thanks enjoyed.
Thanks

Thanks again for watching - we're going away again soon. Something equally as exotic - a caravan park near Poole! (it is cheap).
