Local Welsh Castles Part 2 - Newcastle Bridgend - Amazing architecture

Welcome to the second part of our series visiting local castles in Wales - specifically South Wales, and within an hours travel from us. This is Newcastle, overlooking Bridgend. It's one of three castles build in a defensive line by the Normans, to ensure the Ogmore river was kept save from the Welsh who had been pushed West. These ruins aren't that big, but the archway on the main gate is of special interest. The castle is siutated atop a hill, and has an incredible view accross Bridgend and the area, making it easy to spot any potential trouble makers (or friendly knights) It's linked to the mythology of the 12 Knights of Glamorgan (we'll look at this in another video) More info: https://www.castlewales.com/newcas1.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newcast... 00:00 Introduction 00:31 Walk from Car Park 01:00 Castle Entrance 01:32 Ornate Gateway 02:10 South Tower 02:31 Mystery Object? 02:46 View from East Wall 02:58 West Tower Codes: 73DJ44W2DAEUKR8T YXJOXGJOPVQ3ISFQ
