I hope everyone realizes just how intricate and complete your presentations are --Great Job, Chris
😆
Totally agree! I have bean a fan for years and look forward to new content! :)
I suspect they can.
@@Patienthost // Well Good Morning
Yes. So good
I wish I could go back in time and see a castle like that in its prime and full of life.
I wish i could see it being built.
Well, theoretically, you could use a wormhole or something to travel back in time. Although, reverse time travel evokes paradoxes according to current models.
@@futeramonfuturamet4830 Yeah Im pretty sure OP and literally every other human on earth knows about 'how' time travel might be "theoretically" possible. He's not saying I wonder how I can do it he's simply saying he wish he could.....like every other person. But thank you for the space lesson mr professor
These ancient castles are incredibly fascinating. To simply abandon people in a dungeon was barbaric. Also to see how worn the stairs are gives you a good idea of how long these castles were in use for.
It was a gloomy life if you were immured in a dungeon!
Also, considering that many castles took years to build and cost the equivalent of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, pounds or euros, it made perfect sense to use them for several centuries. They weren't going to make an investment that big just to simply abandon it after a few months or years!
Wow! Built 644 years ago.. Probably hasn't been occupied in 350 to 400 years , and most of it is still standing ! You can definitely say, " They don't make em' like that anymore! "
In the UK, they call counterclockwise ‘anticlockwise’.
Another great video! I'm British but to my shame I've never heard of Bolton Castle (I was even thinking to myself, before I watched this, that I didn't know Bolton had a castle!) but if I'm ever up that way I'll sure look it up and visit. If you go up to Scotland be sure and visit Linlithgow Palace (near Edinburgh) as it's very like this place, and Kenilworth Castle in the Midlands too. Many thanks again, superb content as ever.
The Bolton you're thinking of is a tip and isn't in Yorkshire - you can get five years in Armley Gaol for suggesting it is.
@@billythedog-309 Yes, as soon as I started watching the video I knew it wasn't THAT Bolton 😁. It was when I saw the title before watching I thought it was the one in Lancashire.
I came across a 1911 mystery with a WWII connection. In the year 1911, a train in Italy disappeared into a tunnel in the Lombardy Mountains before reaching its destination. There were only 2 survivors and no train wreckage. It was called the Zanetti Train Mystery. The authorities investigated the tunnel, found no wreckage, and the tunnel was sealed shut. During WWII, the tunnel location was bombed by the allies in a bombing raid and today there is an old WWII cemetery with a single rail line that goes through the cemetery. It is called Aspen cemetery. Check it out.
This is why I'm proud to be a brit , I just love our history it's pretty impressive and our castles are superb .
Claire Gale, Yes the history is fascinating. Here in the US the history pales in comparison. I've wanted to visit there for some time.
@@danpatch4751 dont forget we kicked english tail, thus vanquishing the rest of they're "glorious" history.
@@LamontAtLarge True
@@LamontAtLarge what that little blip lol we do have over 1.000 yrs of history .
@@LamontAtLarge ….Save your pride in America to get angry at your newly introduced abortion law and all the other very recent atrocities done under your counties name , woooooo ‘ Merica…
And stop spitting on graves for likes and clicks , your a populist disgrace
england has a lot of amazing history. glad to see you on my home turf 😄
Absolutely stunning architecture! Would very much love to visit there. 💖🌞🌴
I swear I lived in a past life in medieval England. I've always been fascinated by castles.
that'd be impossible.
Nah ive done it
@@987plo Mee too.
me to, history fascinates me
@@Corinthians-kjv You don't know that. That's what you have been taught to believe. There are so many things that have thought to have been "impossible" in the past only for it to be proven otherwise.
Very terrifying. There is one of those obliettes in St Andrew's. Also subterranean passages. This Bolton castle is really wonderful. I bet you can smell the scent from the old stones. It's amazing with an amazing history. Poor horses. The men must have been starving.
I loved this tour. Can you imagine just the building of it? How many men, how much mortar and stone, how long, it is awe-inspiring just to think how it was done. Then to live in it as the Lord of it, the amount of servants, etc. Truly hard to fathom. Thank you Chris.
The back breaking labor is almost unimaginable that far back. Truly incredible.
@@Norweeg I surely can agree, and no doubt slave labor.
@LORNA HARDIN, They did live under the feudal system in which most were serfs, which were like slaves.
@@futeramonfuturamet4830 Of course, still took tons of men, etc.
Excellent watch! I live nr, we take sights like this for granted! You’ve given me a different perspective ❤️
Wow, it’s cool to see this beauty, to see how people used to live back in the day, way back in the past. Thanks for posting, really awesome!
Majestic✨️, I can only imagine how it once looked in all its grandure . The glass window panes are so intricate and well crafted its just so beautiful.
Love castles. Very interesting .Thank you for sharing!
wow, they sure new how to build castles and dungeons way back then - to last until now. thank you for showing this great Bolton Castle. Love the way you explain the history. love the vid
The reason for having it all the way around like that for the privy is to place the drop where it needs to be outside the castle and the other is so you are not watching a person do their thing :-) .. where the Oubliette is concerned most would have just been thrown in and not lowered in, the name comes from the French oublier to "forget"
Thank heaven someone knows their French well, bravo.... learning languages is out of fashion now.
And the oubliette was akin to immurement (being walled into an alcove or pit and left)
@@antoineduchamp4931 Thank you :-)
@@futeramonfuturamet4830 very much so but without the extra expense of having to actually wall a person up.
Correct. And you could include the English language in that, judging by the level of illiteracy in these comments. @@antoineduchamp4931
I’m so glad you’re doing England. I find your videos in America so interesting.. so for you to look at places in my home country is fantastic.
Wow 😮 Chris! What an awesome piece of history! I could literally smell the stones and dampness. To think after centuries it’s still owned by the same family 🌟🙏🏻
I’d love to be there, especially at night! I imagine there’s plenty of spiritual activity surrounding such a place! Thank you 🙏🏻 Truly loved it 🌟💙🙏🏻
That's so cool Chris. That whole area is very rich in history.
Nice video! Small correction for anyone watching. It’s in North Yorkshire, there is no place called North Shire.
My sister in law got married here
And it’s sheer not shire. 😆
@@dickiegreenleaf750 haha. Being from Leeds to me is Yorkshuh
Tha cun allus tell a yorkshuh mun, but tha cant tell im much
@@Davethehedgehog lol!!
No, it's not.
Learn phonetics and get a clue or stop repeating the same nonsense. @@dickiegreenleaf750
I have visited this castle many times, when I used to live in North Yorkshire, but I see that they have added loads of items to the inside of it and the garden has been hugely developed which is lovely. I was always fascinated by Mary Queen of Scots being imprisoned there. She escaped from this castle once but was found on the Leyburn Shawl and brought back. This castle is set in a lovely area and worth a visit if any of your viewers are ever in the area and like this kind of thing.
that was interesting for sure. those stone steps at the end were so worn down. beautiful view from up top there
Great video! Was beginning to think you were just visiting London cemeteries. Castles are much more interesting.
That’s so awesome, I’m in awe of how beautiful it truly is. How majestic it is. I wish I could be there with you but I appreciate you bringing me along on the journey.this was so wonderful.
I feel like I'm taking a class while you are narrating this Chris. You are doing outstanding work 👏
Needs to get to Liverpool and do the bombed out church.... Anglican cathedral....Mersey tunnels tour.... overhead railway....and the Beatles tour and the white star lines HQ...all within the city center 👍🇬🇧
To have just a minutes glimpse back into what life was like back when this castle was first built would be incredible! Great video!!
Brilliant Chris thanks for sharing, great coverage 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Stunningly beautiful ruin. So much of this structure remains intact.
Very thorough coverage of the castle. Glad to see some renovation has taken place. Beautiful grounds.
Would be so amazing to be able to explore around the castle, so much history there
It's Scroop! Thx for doing Bolton Castle in my country. Last time I visited the area there were restrictions on movement and shoes and Wellingtons had to be dipped because of a foot and mouth outbreak.
Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I am enoying every minute. Can't stop myself from waiting for Lamont to pop whenever you visit a cemetery though!!!
♥️ From Australia
Life musta been tough, if they were down to eating their horses I can't imagine the desperation. Great tour, the sweat that went into building the castle's of the time must have been life threatening many times.
A beautiful tour, thank you 🥰
Les oubliettes means the forgetting places (best I can translate it). It's amazing the cruelty of people, the agony of those forgotten souls in there 🥺😢
Wow...that castle is absolutely amazing and very terrifying at the same moment. thank you for all that you do. hello from Florida.
Hey Chris, man we loved it, we loved it! This was great and very interesting. We could almost smell the age of the place as you walked us through!!
I,ll never get to see these sights in person, so THANK YOU!!
What a fantastic place to tour! And you always do such a great job as tour guide! Thanks, Chris
So beautiful there. Thank you for the tour and the history lesson. Love it.
WOW amazing video. I have truly loved all your video's from the UK!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool! I'd love to live near an old castle. So rad.
Here in England you are never more than about an hours drive from multiple castles! There are about 12 within a 30 mile radius of where I live
Or live IN an old castle!
@@futeramonfuturamet4830 aye my lord
Loved the tour! Thank you so much for taking all of us with you! Safe travels and God bless! 🌝
England has such beautiful country sides
Really fun tour... Thanks. 😁👍🏻

Absolutely beautiful, fascinating and awe inspiring. Thank you for taking me along.
Absolutely excellent video tour, thank you! Great camera work, thoughtful narration, and convenient total length. Very professional job.
This was great Chris! Thank you for your historical travels. A true gift.
Hi Chris. Great video work and commentary. If you have time on your visit over here, (and especially if you have a wet day, as this is 90% inside), I do recommend is CAMP EDEN - Ex pow camp and all huts have a different theme, well worth a look. Cheers Steve
Awesome vid. Thanks, Guy.
I still have the VHS of Goonies from the 80’s in my parents basement. Me and my brothers loved that movie.
I love that area! The town of Hawes is like a Thomas Kinkade painting. Recommend Bolton Abbey south of there. It's one of my favorite places.
FANTASTIC !!!!!
This is beautiful thanks
WOW, Nice find to explore!!
3:45 beautiful view. Although in ruins, this building is still an impression feat of engineering. And still standing.
Thank u for sharing this video, so awesome!
Love seeing places like this so interesting ty for showing
That's exactly what I've been wanting to do Chris, visit the English countryside and tour castles! 🥰
Thanks for the video of this historic and interesting castle! 🌞
Fabulous video!!! Thank you for presenting this. A great history lesson and such spectacular views😍
The word oubliette originates from the French verb oublier - "to forget". The oubliette would be capped with a stone slab, the intention being to leave the prisoner in total darkness exactly like being buried alive. The smaller the space the better, and they were often simply a tiny vertical shaft with no room which forced the entombed person to stand up in agony until death. Warwick Castle has a good example. Another interesting prison type was the bottle dungeon, so named because it was constructed like a bottle with a very narrow neck that opened out, bottle like, in a chamber beneath. St. Andrew's Castle in Scotland has a fine example of this style.
great old old castle great video thank you for sharing
A lot of castles were white washed with lime or limewash as it was called. So these magnificent structures were not only a home, a fortress but a beautiful building that gleamed white and could be seen for miles. Same as the pyramids
Although, most castles would not have been big like theyre usually made out to be in fairy tales and what not. Most castles weren't much bigger than the average American suburban house.
Amazing!
Excellent tour... thanks 👍
Thanks again for the great history lesson..
Such a awesome place, thanks for sharing
This was an excellent video, thanks for sharing.
You do so much research and work on your videos, and I really appreciate it. You do a fantastic job and I love watching. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with so many
OMG Chris how. Cool is this
You don't know why the privy was so far back ,Chris you have to remember they didn't have Lysol in the 1300 hundreds.
Keep up the good work I'm loving your vlogs
If walls could speak. Great history very cool castle.
That was great. Thanks 👍
Thank u its awesome😊💜💙
I'm fascinated by Hedge Mazes! I was hoping you'd show inside it .. Amazing tour and video!
Very cool! Imagine how it looked before it was destroyed... wow!
Awesome!
Wow! Amazing

Wow! That is some seriously cool history!
If you're continuing to head north id reccomend visiting Edinburgh Castle
And if you're headed over to Ireland Dublin's Kilmainham Jail is a great tour
