    The central court with the yew tree is so beautiful. It'd been raining when I visited and the paving stones were glistening with water and the tree was vibrant and green. I love the indentations on some of the steps, signs of busy walkways used over and over, and I could imagine all the people who'd been and gone.

    I went there when I was a child. Over 25 years ago and i still remember it. This video brought me back. Also, that is one killer pen.

    Looks truly fascinating. And pretty cool that they kept the woods instead of chopping every tree into pieces.

      Why not chop down the woods and that 350 year old tree for biomass, then we will be helping stop the climate crisis! Labour and WEF policy! Such a huge wasted space, just think how many immigrants that could house!

    A very informative video, having been to Skipton castle years ago it was great to hear the history of it once again. Ethan's presenting of these videos are very professional however easy to access. Great Video Ethan!

    I would have liked more of the castle itself. Maybe more if the history. I did enjoy your video though.

    I assume from the commentary the Clifford family still live in the occupied part of the castle?

    • @Useaname
      @Useaname Před 6 dny

      It's still occupied so I'm guessing it's them. The castle is very well looked after. Worth a visit.

    I like seeing videos like this because this is the kind of place I'd like to go see if I ever get a chance to go to Europe.
    This doesn't seem like it would be the biggest tourist destination but it's such a well preserved piece of history

    • @DecadesVideos

      When you're in a country full of places like this, tourists are evenly spread. No overcrowding, no feeling like you're adding to a problem, it's honestly great.

    My grandfather is from Gargrave and I heard a lot about this castle. I believe my mothers cousin or aunt use to give tours there.

      A ghost from the past. She's complaining about the name. It used to be the West Riding before the politicians messed about with the historical divisions and made the boring "North Yorkshire"
