Great video again, a nice look at some very historical places. I'm gonna have to check them out at some point. Always enjoy videos like this involving historical buildings. Nice video, really enjoyed watching.
Cheers, yes well worth a visit and they are only half a mile from each other in Holywell . :-)
We visited here a couple of weeks ago! It’s so cool isn’t it! We’d love to walk the pilgrims trail. Basingwerk Abbey is incredible. We really enjoyed your tour of the Abbey. Oo you went to Winifred’s well too! We did that as well, it was covered in snow though!! The tap was frozen for the water when we went!! Thanks for the tour 🍻
i was at St Winifreds well today amazing place and the history behind it and i totally missed this place so we only live in wrexham so we are going when we get some nice weather to Basingwerk abbey
That's great Adam, nice place isn't it, the Abbey is only quarter of a mile down the road....hope you enjoy that too when you visit :-)....many thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous video Paul! I have been to the well a few times and am amazed by the history of the place. Thanks for sharing this.

Lovely vid Paul. Wow what a place. Thanx so much for sharing. Always think the same about old buildings. Hard to believe how old they are 👍
Thanks Natalie....yes amazing history they have. :-)
Great video Paul, over a thousand years old amazing, glad to see no graffiti in sight.
Thanks Paul....yes, amazing history.
Those look nice places to visit Paul, would love to go there one day.
Nice places to visit Rob.
Very True!
So, I went to this yesterday, having walked up from Greenfield Dock......only to find they don't allow dogs !! Thankfully your video showed me what I missed so will be making a return trip minus the dog ! Thanks for this video :-)
I'd say the new camera is working superb Paul. It captured the history and awesome beauty of the Welsh people that built those amazing structures. Fantastic that the buildings have been preserved as best they can for their age. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
Glad you liked it Terry....many thanks.
Hope to check it out one day. Cheers bud.
Worth a visit Mark.....thanks.
Great video enjoyed that. The well has a dip pool next to it I think that pilgrims walk down into the water next to the well and back up the other side. It looked gated off when you were there. I was hoping to see you do the walk ! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes seen the dip pool quite deep too...Thanks
My home village. Maesglas.
That's great, some history on your doorstep Sion....nice.
Fascinating! Other than some Puebla Indian ruins in our Southwest, America’s oldest structures only date to the 1600’s... Very interesting video, thank you!
Glad you found it interesting, thanks for watching.
Fantástico 👏👏👏👏

Very well thanks Dave....hope you and yours are to :-)
Interesting Video.
Thank you

Thanks.
Shocking how Henry VIII destroyed so much because he wanted a divorce and got rid of the Catholic church as an excuse and all the abbey's and needed money for wars.Another bad news for most was Oliver Cromwell with the Civil War destruction of so many castles. King Henry VIII caused the shrine and saintly relics to be destroyed at the St Winefride's Holy Well but some have been recovered to be housed at Shrewsbury and Holywell.
Yes, he had to have his own way no matter what.
