Treachery, Sorcery, Murder & Executions! The Dark History of Farleigh Hungerford Castle.

50% 1

Farleigh Hungerford Castle looks like the quintessential English ruin yet underneath the surface, lies a history bound with tales of treachery, infidelity, sorcery, wrongful imprisonment, murder and deceit!
Built in 1370, the castle remined in the same family for 300 years. Things started well for the Hungerford family who had great prestige and respect. However, as the castle passed down through the family, things started to get darker and more sinister.
Join me as I explore both the castle ruins and the tales of this remarkable castle!

Great vid once again. The castle looks like a real gem, another one to add to the to do list.

Definitely worth an explore! Thank you for watching!

What a lovely informative video, thank you 🙂 When my parents lived in Farleigh Hungerford we would go to a candle-lit carol service in the chapel, it was magical The crypt still scares me! Hungerford bridge in London is named after the Hungerford family, as they owned a house on the site of Charing Cross station.

@walkingthewyrd 18 дней назад

Gosh, that candle-lit carol service sounds wonderful! The crypt is not a nice place to be, I agree! Thank you very much for watching 🙂

@buzsalmon Месяц назад

I have to say that this is not one of my favorite places! I did enjoy spending time with you but this place is too dark for me! Thank you for showing it all to us!

@walkingthewyrd Месяц назад

I agree! It definitely had a dark atmosphere to it. Thanks for watching!

Another gorgeous video with fab history. Hope to get to see the UK in person someday. Thank you, Nic! 💕

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Thank you, Jodi! Whereabouts in the world are you based?

@jodimusicherself 4 месяца назад

@walkingthewyrd I'm in Denver, Colorado in the US.

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Oh, fabulous! Not too far from the beautiful Rocky Mountains if I'm right?

@jodimusicherself 4 месяца назад

@walkingthewyrd I'm near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I can drive 20 minutes and be in the mountains. I love living here. If you ever get to visit, I wouldn't recommend winter. We frequently measure snow in FEET.😂

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

@jodimusicherself oh wow! That sounds absolutely beautiful! We don't get much snow here anymore, our winters are so mild and just wet, grey, and ugh! 😄

@autumnnite1803 9 дней назад

The story in the crypt was horrifying! You think you can't possibly hear another story worse than what you already know of human depravity and then you hear this. Uurgghh! Lovely ruined castle though.

@walkingthewyrd 9 дней назад

It's utterly grim! But yes, the castle ruins are fabulous! Thanks for watching!

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Hey Mike! I'm good thanks, hope you are too! Glad you enjoyed the video. 🙂

@sarahhartstone6314 4 месяца назад

What a beautiful Castle, did it feel dark or spooky Nick ? Xx

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Not really. The crypt felt kinda spooky, but I think that's just psychological knowing that there's bodies down there. Great place to explore!

@NewHeathen 4 месяца назад

I live in Somerset and I am embarassed to say I have never been to Farleigh Hungerford - so thanks for making me feel guilty ;-) (joke!) but also making an informative and interesting video as always 🙂

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

@NewHeathen wait...you LIVE in Somerset, and have never been to Farleigh Hungerford?! I'm not angry, just disappointed 😁 In all seriousness, I highly recommend an explore 😄 Thanks for watching!

@davidberesford7009 21 день назад

Having watched & enjoyed the video, I am prepared to concede that there may be other ruined castles that have less associations with "treachery, infidelity, sorcery, wrongful imprisonment, murder and deceit!" But come on this is english history we are talking about. I wonder if anyone has done a top ten on the subject? Bye!

@paulus894 4 месяца назад

Once again a beautiful and interesting walk, but I prefer a drink from a glass than from a coffin, although tequila with a worm is also drunk, no, I'd rather not. 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

I'm with you there! 😄 Those Victorians did seem to take things a bit far! Thanks for watching.

@david_v2.1 4 месяца назад

If the foundations are anything to go by the castle must have been impressive in its day and the chapel interior is so beautiful. Those Victorians really were game for anything maniacs. If ever a castle was cursed it's definitely that one with all the nefarious activities!...and that's the first time I've heard anyone use the B word on youtube!😆

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Ha ha! I'm sorry to have used that word, and more than once! I await my immiment RU-vid ban 😆 Thanks for watching, David! Hope you enjoyed it.

@david_v2.1 4 месяца назад

😂ah don't be sorry, I'm just glad I didn't have a hot cuppa tea against my lips 🤣

What shenanigans - Drinking alcohol infused bodily fluids and acts of buggery! 🥴🫣😆 Thanks for another excellent episode Nicola. As you know I really like and appreciate what you do. I love history and I genuinely enjoy your take on the history and folklore of the places you visit. Until next time, look after yourself.🙂

@walkingthewyrd 4 месяца назад

Honestly, Simon, it was all going on here back in the day! 😄 Thanks so much for watching, it's really appreciated.
