At first I thought, this place could really hold up against cannonballs. Now it's, "Wow, this would be a great place to hold a wedding!" Spectacular. 🛡️📺💯

The place is amazing for weddings, I had a very late afternoon wedding here, in the winter. It was just starting to get dark and they lit the pathway leading to the keep with hundreds of burning torches. It was very surreal but stunning 😊 a big thank you buddy, sending my best and catch up soon

We enjoyed seeing the Hedingham Castle with you Stephen and Yhana. Stunning! We also enjoyed hearing about it's storied past, how it's purportedly haunted by a witch and the bagpipes. Thanks so much for bringing us along.

My first impression of the castle was: WOW, and AMAZING. So different to the castles I have visited. A very imposing structure. Looks almost inpregnable. Your story was also riveting. If walls could talk how much more could we learn. It must feel quite overwhelming to have unearthed so much information about your and Yhana's heritage. Great video. 👍 🤩 🇳🇿 🇳🇱🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇿!

It can be overwhelming for sure, but so different from what I know about life, that I find it hard to connect to those past branches, which is such a shame. These branches are shared by hundreds of thousands of people too. I kind of look at it as a moment in history with a little family connection thrown in lol 😆

Hi and thanks, Stephen and Yhana - History and Adventure Hunters for taking us to Hedingham Castle. It's such s ornate, embellished castle inside out. I have never seen a live Hawk this close. As a matter of fact, I plan to experience "Falconry" sometime in the future. The owner will introduce a hawk and an owl to me at the same time as well I have been excited about it. Wowowow@1:19!!! My husband really needs this kind of program, very organized@2:01. Those artifacts on the tables are incredible. Could those markings be old@9:16? I'm not familiar with European history in detail. May I ask a silly question? Why weren't those musicians wearing their family tartan kilts? Appreciate it. 🤗

@StephenandYhana

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thank you very much for the lovely comment, I like falconry myself 😊 I would love to own a hawk ☺️ I think those markings are very old, they probably range in dates. I think the musicians were an English band, so tartan wouldn’t have been part of their wardrobe. They were however wearing clothing inspired by the 17th century which was pretty cool 😊😉 sending our best and catch up soon
