"fake castle ruins" - That is impressive to see someone actually build modern ruins. Myself living about 2 hours from Biltmore Estate, I can attest to the surprise when you think you are looking at something centuries old but then realize it was built in the 1880s with running water and electricity. Thanks for showing these. Greatly appreciated.

Well that stirred up some memories! Back in the 70's we would bike it up there from Swinton. Of course we never realized the castle was a folly. Back then you would never have got to the end of that narrow passage! We used to go for a swim in the pond in the gardens near the tower, then bike it back home. Kids nowadays do not know they are born! Tockholes was a spiritual center founded after the ravages of WW1 .... before the diagnosis of Shell Shock! As per usual another Cracking Video!

This has been a wonderful look at forgotten relics, that castle is one heck of a folly! It certainly isn't medieval as no one cut stones like that before the advent of stone saws, it would have been built using rough cut stones. I wonder what history was flooded when they built that reservoir? Most often they tear down buildings and cut all the trees down to make a clean bottom wiping out all previous artifacts of the people who once lived there. The first film of the forerunner of Time Team was done digging a village that was due to be flooded. Mike Aston said too often local history gets wiped out for the sake of modern improvements and people soon forget what was there before the valley was flooded.

He said “... it’s Well worth a visit.” And kept on going... legend.

I've read of Liverpool Castle, but I never realised that it was as perfect as that. Fireplaces that have never seen a flame, and the beading of steps in a tower where no steps have ever been.
