 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm just walking in a peaceful woodland on the slopes above the River Dart in Devon It's just down there the River Dart and We're actually almost at the very end of the River Dart. In fact, we've even gone past the town of Dartmouth reason we come up into these woods is because That behind me is what we've come to have a look at now. This is the beginning of what's going to be our adventure around Dartmouth Castle now This isn't the part of Dartmouth Castle most people come and see this is the oldest part of the castle You can see the trench here that was dug around the walls The 13th century castle is behind me if we go around here So we're just down in the moat because the sea is out there, but if you look behind me there you can see the walls of the castle and Just there is a tower and looking out that way Goes out to the sea so what we'll do We'll have a walk around here and we'll have a look listen There'll be some fine views and we'll go around some of the more the newer parts of Dartmouth Castle so as we come out here the view opens up very sunny. I'm going to put my My sunglasses on excuse me Okay, that's better and Look down there you see The beach and panning around You can see the 16th century castle That tower that I think is a Victorian folly and the tower over there is in Petrox Church Which we'll go and have a look at soon so the walls we came up to We started behind to just Here so the tower is over there. We're now going to go down and Have a look around the castle This is the south coast path one day don't know when yet, but one day I'm going to do that all of it And I'll make lots of videos But as I said, I don't know when it's going to be So I'm just Coming up to Dartmouth Castle now I'm just gonna briefly pause this video While I pay to go in Okay, so as if my magic come now been in a shot paid Come down here. It's one of the big guns We're gonna go down underneath this building because you can't see Usually what you can see out there. There's that folly. It's like a little Tea room people buy an ice cream cup of tea. I get ice cream Let's go down these steps into the girls room So there's the original castle up there in the woods where we started this video Let's take my sunglasses off again now Here we are some Information on the castle so it tells you here about Dartmouth's first castle. So if you have a look there That's I think that is the walls We were behind When I started the video as an old chapel in the picture That's pretty where the new church of St. Pedrock now stands This fact there's a picture there as well So I think actually we were there we came across the woods We walked around there because the new the part of castle we're now is here But it hadn't been built in the air of this picture. So we'll walk around that then we'll go around to the new castle Not new castle D new castle and we'll finish up a church So If you ever look here, I've just seen this this is such a cool model of the castle. Look at this It's a model made out of wood You look there's a handle for me if I turn this watch what happens. I've demolished the castle But if I keep turning it might return. It's also quite fascinating. Look at what is underneath all these cogs I love this. This is brilliant. You can actually see. I think what will happen is so Nothing much is happening. No castles appearing but see this It's quite hard to show you see this one here. There's a big Coming round now see that there when that hits that orange wheel. It'll push the castle up So as that goes round There's obviously two of them because half the carp has already come up There we go So I think that's pretty exciting that I like that that's a bit difficult Nearly left my sunglasses behind so I'm gonna go out here That's what we came in going down a spot staircase now so this is where They would have fired out to the English Channel when They were at war with France and when French ships are often being captured by English ships and vice versa so you can see these canals Cannons they have shelled Fired out to see see the equipment how they would have used these to stuff the cannons with the cannonballs They're quite powerful things lots and lots of gunpowder would have been in here walking to here So they don't fire You can hear the sound of what it have sounded like as they remind me a bit in Edinburgh when you hear the one o'clock gunfire I was in Edinburgh recently and Heard it and those you weren't expecting it all jumped. It was quite funny So we're going here. This is where all the stores are that sits this store. I guess quite low Here as well with different types of store to go through here It's a little this is the shell you can't see if it does say shell store Pretty bit dark to actually show you cartridge storming. You can't really see the writing if you went in here You can't see it, but believe me. Let's go out into the light. There were some cartridges in there Right, let's go outside now. It'll be lighter now. I promise we came down that spiral staircase. We're now going outside up to the gun tower so leaving the 16th century part of castle behind and we are going Round here To the gun tower Here's the church of St. Pedrock, which we are also going to go and have a look at So it's beautiful. This is the parish church. There are quite a few churches around here. There's a few more in Dartmouth Going here Into the gun tower Here we go So we've come in here the gun tower is behind me and so is the the top of St. Pedrock church if you look out there you can see the sister castle Kingsworth castle, which Not today. Maybe one day we'll go there. I've got to get the steam train back up to painting at five o'clock It's about half past three now. So I've got a huge amount of time. But as I said There is the Chancellor window into pedrock church. This is the gun tower. I'm going to go in to the gun tower and have a look around So this is inside the gun tower. You can see looking down there how it's built onto the rock We'll go. You can go down there, but We'll go upstairs. Down there you'll just see more of what we saw I mean up here There's various displays on the castle. I won't go through more now So if you ever do come here, you've got something for yourself, you know to see going up up here now I'm just even narrow a spiral staircase Such a small spiral staircase. It's not that easy holding a camera and coming up and I've got to do it again going down so here we are on the roof of Dartmouth Castle If you look out there, I said this Kingswear castle over there. There's another Kingswear castle Paddle steam Kingswear castle over there so Yeah, it's Lovely place There's another towel there, but you don't actually see a great deal if you go in there Look out there. That looks out to see that looks up to Dartmouth It's such a lovely face. I'm gonna now go out and get to the church Let's back down this incredibly small spiral staircase Apologies if you think I'm rushing this. It's just that my camera battery is quite low and I Want to get to the church before I finish it but as I said Just like to give you an introduction when I go to these places if you really want to see it all you need to come back and see it for yourself The idea of my videos Isn't always to show you stuff It's it is to show you stuff business. The idea is not to show you everything so you think well I've seen it in Henry's video. Let's go. The idea is you come here yourself So that's why I'm not quite gonna show you every little detail But I do want to show you the church because it's beautiful interesting these grace some are down here and some are up there Here's the entrance to the church St. Petroctor Church. It's Well over Potsdam, Dartmouth Over a thousand years old So now in the beautiful beautiful church. It's got a very Cornish Devon feeling of a church You can just see Through the window where you can't really see actually you can't pick up behind there is the gun tower If you have a look up there See where so we we're now down at the chancel beautiful window If you have a look up here, it's there's The bell where the bell ringer stands by the front of us. There's been a wedding here So there's lots of flowers. It must have been a wedding recently or perhaps it's gonna be on tomorrow Says 1594 to 1994 so that was when it Celebrated thousand years of this beautiful church of people have been coming to this wonderful church ever since you know going back to When the castle was here, which is amazing So it's yeah, it's a lovely place. I'm now gonna go outside. I'll finish the video With a bit of a view over the dark and then I've got to go and find the ferry back to Dartmouth or walk Here from Dartmouth. I'm gonna go back on the ferry because It's different really and I quite like ferries and there it is. That's my ferry. So I hope you enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching and goodbye
