Portchester Castle | 10 Places That Made England with Dan Snow 

The castle is still an important part of the identity of those of us living in Portchester. We're squeezed in between Portsmouth to the east, the larger town of Fareham to the west, bound by the chalk cliffs and downs to the north and the sea to the south, in the wider South Hampshire Connurbation, tightly packed in our little enclave, but there still remains a distinct feeling of place and identity that doesn't seem to exist elsewhere nearby. It is distinct but it isn't seperate, much like the castle's role in our island's history.

Brilliant explanation of everything - Dan Snow is the quintessential historian. I love how he takes the time to point out the graffiti. English Heritage is such an important institution and makes the perfect RU-vid channel.

This is an excellent series immensely enjoyable. Dan Snow is the ultimate historian.well done English Heritage,

Thank you for sharing this place. I know of Portsmouth. But never heard of this Castle. Thanks again and nice job Dan. 👍🏻

Mr. Snow, your voice does make this documentary even more exciting 😊❤

Красивый замок! Спасибо за экскурсию в далёкое прошлое

Thanks for this. Please continue to promote the good values of our amazing country

Brilliant video again! Absolutely loving this EH & Dan Snow series, perfect match up! Always lived on the doorstep of Porchester and have enjoyed chasing my kids around the cemetery much the same as my parents did for me when i was a child. The view from the top of the tower is indeed outstanding.

This was just excellent, a beautiful portrayal of Portchester Castle. An fantastic presentation, when we came here last year, we really enjoyed our visit here, the stories and the heritage just amazes me. Thank you Dan!

Nice to see Portchester Castle featured. My late mother was Christened in St Mary’s Church within the castle grounds and a Great Aunt and Uncle were married there. I have fond memories of visiting another Great Aunt and Uncle who lived in Portchester in the 60’s & 70’s. It’s been a few years since I last visited the castle but I was very pleased to see how the coastal path had been developed that runs along the edge of Fareham Creek and gives a nice view over to Portsmouth Dock. When I was a child that area was a horrible mess with all sorts of flotsam and jetsam littering the waters edge that had washed over from the Docks, a lovely walk along there now.

Great video as always! It’s quite the historic site

Great explanation of everything by Dan Snow, It's useful to hear from a historian.
