 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm in Caster in Norfolk today about three miles north of Great Yarmouth We're going to Caster Castle to have a look at the ruins of the castle and its car collection But first, let's go back about 1,800 years. Imagine walking along this road Here would have been the walls of a big Roman fort and about here would have been the gates to this Roman fort Now there is some of it left. It was once very vast There's not a lot of it left but we can go and have a little look around so here We are Caster Roman fort. It's English heritage. It is free to visit So we're going to do this before we do the castle. So as we step in here You can see the low walls of the ruins in front of us. Now if we come to here The gates would have been, well that is the foundation of one of the gates The rest of it would have been in that person's garden. So if you have a quick look at this picture here, you can see We would have walked along there And we're just coming in these gates now. I appreciate it's quite small That picture was quite small. Let's have a look at the picture up here. There'll be a better picture of those gates So we're now walking through, would have been walking through an archway into the fort right now And if we look on this plaque here That is the gate we have just walked through or that's the foundation. It's foundation remains Here are the buildings that have been rows and rows of these going off in both directions So where those bungalows over there are probably deep beneath those bungalows. There's more of this So it's a very vast site. Let's just have a quick look along here So I'm now walking beside the Roman walls. There's something up here I would like to show you, you probably know That the Romans pretty much invented under floor heating which quite a lot of modern buildings have They'd light a fire. There's have various channels running under the floor. If you have a look here We can see some of those channels. See how you got the channels Running along there for the under floor heating So this is all there is really what we can see here under all of those houses and bungalows There's probably a lot more of this what I'm going to do now though I'm going to go back out there continue along the road and we're going to go and find case to castle So to get to case to castle is actually advisable to go by car. I'm saying that and I'm not going by car I came on the train to great Yarmouth and then I got a bus to Caster and I'm now not walking along the disused railway as I Usually do I'm walking along the disused road just here. There's a huge road. I can see the castle over there I looked on the map. There is a footpath across that field. So that's where I've got to go to find case to castle So here we are. I've just arrived at case to castle. You can see the Castle up there. There's people up there waving. So we're going to go up there Look this there is a steam engine one of those ones that doesn't power itself But it would power machinery. That's quite exciting to see and look at that. There's a steam locomotive Let's go and have a quick look at that and that was a nice surprise I thought I was coming here to see a old castle and some cars Wasn't actually expecting to see a steam locomotive. That's for railways. Caster did have a railway But it closed in 1959 Caster station. So that's why I had to come here by bus but at least in Caster In case to castle you can see steam locomotives. So here it is Built by Manning Wardle of Leeds in 1921 and its number. Its works number is 2010 Carries number 42. Paul Veronde. I suppose he works in Veronde Valleys of South Wales. So yeah, that's the works plate So nice to see a steam locomotive. It's an industrial Here we go. Maybe one day she'll be restored and she could run again Maybe they could find another one to replace that, but I don't know. Maybe she'll just stay here This must be the house of where their current owners live now. Here we are. It says warning Deep water in the moat And here's the castle It's very tall tower. I understand it's the oldest brick-built castle in the country And I'm really looking forward to seeing the views from the top of the tower. So let's go through Oh, it's this is the earliest brick-built castle in The country and it's such a scheduled grave one listed for preservation. It's essential to respect the property So here we go If I'd come here a few months ago, I expect the hydrangeas would have looked really nice so Here we are in the ruins of the castle. The moat goes right around there There's more ruined walls over there, and that's the Tower so I'm really Excited to go up there and see the views. No doubt. We're gonna be able to see across to the north of broads Everything so let's go in this tower now Always enjoy going up high up towers. It's always so much fun. So here we go We're inside the tower. Well, look at that. There's no floors Where is a floor right up there? I think we've got a lot of climbing up steps to do. Let's just see what's in this room Okay, so again more No floors quite exciting though quite feels like I'm a bit like doing an urbex exploring an abandoned building but I am actually here because I'm You know here allowed to be here so This looks like the way up the stairs There's someone I'm just gonna pause the camera a minute because a few people coming down the stairs and let them come down Then we'll go up So it sounds like we'll just come down time for us to go up Okay, it's not my actual spare case Stone staircase We hit here See into the castle. Oh I see so yeah, we know go this way up to this little room The rest of the way up is a wooden spiral staircase, so you may be able to see out there into the where we came over That's a bit hard with the mesh windows. That's pretty stuck birds coming Got a lot of climbing to do now, but I do really like going up towers In it's not quite the same But when I've gone to places like Eastern Europe, they often have lookout towers in woodlands On the highest point and I always enjoy going up them, but this is This is different. It's a historic tower which we can climb. You can see how in some places There's some newer bricks It's a thing I put in to help preserve the structure of the castle. We're quite high up now. Have a look at that So yeah, we're not at the top yet, so we're gonna keep going You can hear an aeroplane going over I saw an airfield from the bus my way up from great yarm I'm having counter to steps. It's got to be out for a hundred Come to a room. They've put a concrete floor and be more top We're up quite high. Let's continue. We want to see the views there This is gonna be Really exciting when we get to the top You have a nearly there now. Here we go. Daybreak so here Is the top of the castle? Well, there's a whole castle down there That path there That's what we'll walk along to get here. This huge road is just over there I can see the sea in the distance See the moat See a water tower There's some sort of reservoir thing there There's the car park The car collection is in that building was just like an old school, but it's in there You can also walk around the woodland. You can also walk around the woodlands and then we'll go look at the cars next Looking that way. I can see it's a great yarmouth Camers probably not picking out but I can see the river. Yeah, I can see great yarmouth power station great yarmouth minster It's a good model village in great yarmouth went to there a few years ago We'll see that have a look at Lincoln's screen now I can see The cameras we're not picking up. I can't see the main road that goes in that great yarmouth And that runs on by the railway so the train went along in now I'll see it in distance anyway I'm gonna Go down. We're gonna go and see the classic cars now I'm now doing the woodland walk here a case to castle the car collection Is in a rather huge building over there now. They were Literally hundreds and hundreds of cars and there isn't just cars. There was a tram in there There were fire engines motorbikes bikes pedal cars Or just all sorts and um, I had to walk around there The way it's kind of set out. I didn't really feel that I wanted to walk around talking to a camera Just some places It just doesn't seem appropriate So what I think I'll do what I am going to do is I'm going to insert a few images Of just some of my favorite because I cannot possibly Tell you about everything. My knowledge doesn't cover everything But there were a few cars. It was nice to see a few cars You know, I remember seeing on the road I was particularly pleased to see a trebant in there one of my favorite cars So what I'm going to do now here's a few cars or a bit of writing And or not just cars other things that I saw in there some of my favorite things and um This is the woodland walk which is another addition you can do I'm going to show you then and I'm going to go and get a cup of tea now I hope you enjoyed that little collection of just some of the exhibits in that museum There really was so much I couldn't believe it. I was really happy to see that tram. That was a nice surprise I knew there was going to be a steam loco here And obviously I knew I was coming to see a castle and a car collection I think that's a nice combination of two different things with a steam loco in the middle But it was just a really nice afternoon. So I hope you enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment And from my walk back towards Caster with the castle there in the background.
