- The romantic ruins of Coity Castle near Bridgend, South Wales. It’s part 5 of our places to see in Wales series.
In the series, we look at some famous and not so famous places around our home country of Wales.
Coity Castle near Bridgend, South Wales is a Norman castle built in the 12th century by Sir Payn "the Demon" de Turberville, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan.
Major rebuilding took place in the 14th century and again in the 15th after Owain Glyndŵr laid siege to the castle during his uprising against English rule. Further changes were made to the castle in the early 16th century, including the addition of a third floor.

This is wild....I just found out today that my ancestors lived in this castle. How cool is that to find out!
Sir Payne de Turberville is an ancestor of mine. How cool is that!
Are you allowed to go back and claim the castle.
Coity Castle, I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this - geez, we used to cycle there often from Pantyrawel as young teenagers (50 years ago!).
Fireworks! Look great here
I saw Coity castle for the first time last Sunday after going on a bit of a detour. I never knew this castle existed before then. I can’t believe your video came up on my feed tonight. Spooky.
Thanks for watching, I'm sure all the tech listens and tracks you!
Another great vid thanks, and another new place to take the camera Cheers Russ..Caerphilly
This castle is often overlooked. However, I drove past it a few days ago and it's covered in scaffolding for restoration. I'd check before going.
@@flydriveexplore Cheers mate i really like the video, do you plan on one for Caerphilly?
My brother lives about 200 yards away from that castle. Very comprehensive look around with some great background information, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan, I hadn't been to Coity Castle since I was a kid. I forgot how impressive the castle ruins were.
Fun to climb
One of the amazing things about visiting Europe is all of the castles which is something we don’t have much of in the States. It’s really cool this castle had some type of moat. I have never seen one with a moat before. How do you know so much history about this castle (which is cool by the way)
We have a lot of castles in Wales (600) so as a kid we always used to visit one at least every other week
Cool tour round a castle. I feel like I've watched a mini BBC documentary 😃One of the things I do find interesting about castles and old churches/temples is the layers of rebuilding, which you pointed out. P.s. Love dramatic the part at around 4:50 when the rook is circling around the tower P.p.s. I think the most memorable castle I've been to in Wales is Cardiff Castle, but that's probably because it's still in one piece and you can wander through the rooms. 🏰
Yes, many of these castles have been used for hundreds of years so have been chopped and changed. Cardiff Castle is interesting, it was actually used as a house in the Victorian era by the Marquis of Bute.
Nice castle!! Thanks for all of the information.
Thanks. With that surname, are you some distant relation who has come back to reclaim the castle and its land 👑?
Very interesting.
I always enjoy early century history.
They must have been impressive in their day as everyone else were basically living in mud huts.
Great video I enjoyed it. I heard of this castle in Wales. It's haunted also. By a lady, and a man who has a pet. Hope to see more of your enjoyable videos soon. Have a great day 😀
Thanks. I think there's a ghost story or legend associated with most of the old castles and houses.
Great video! I have never been to Wales before, after seeing this I think I should prioritize that a bit more. Thanks for sharing. Loved the information.
Yes, Wales is often overlooked when people visit Britain, you should visit if you get the chance.
I found out (if I'm correct) that Sir Payn de Turberville who built this castle is one of my ancestors.
I wonder if you can stake a claim on the property.
I love the narrative you have done and all the quick transitions between scenes! Very professional, clear footage and no messing around. Fascinating stuff, I wonder what was the functionality of the "thing" that sticking out at 2:50 ?
Thanks, the thing at 2:50 was the remains of a chimney. The chimney was added later and not part of the original 12th century castle.
I'm not sure what else could be in your written notes, your knowledge of this Castle is pretty amazing. Nice job. I don't know if it was a ditch or had water. I think it should have had water with Crocodiles personally.
Thanks, We do have a lot of castles. There are 6 within 8 miles of my house (which is also a castle ... well maybe not!) Good, idea about the crocodiles although I think they'd all die in the first winter.
@@flydriveexplore Sounds fun if you don't have a dragon available.
always a dry moat , i own and farm the land to the north of the castle
