MIDDLEHAM CASTLE | The LEGACY of England’s LAST Warrior KING
Middleham Castle, located in North Yorkshire, England, is best known as the childhood home of King Richard III and a powerful fortress during the Wars of the Roses.
Built in the 12th century by Robert Fitzrandolph, the castle evolved into a grand stronghold under the influential Neville family.
By the 15th century, it became the residence of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who later became King Richard III. Middleham was a key political and military center, with its formidable stone keep and strategic position in the north making it an important base during England’s medieval conflicts.
Following the defeat of Richard III at Bosworth in 1485, Middleham Castle gradually fell into decline, especially after the Tudor era. By the 17th century, it was largely abandoned, and during the English Civil War, it was stripped of its valuable materials.

Another great North Yorkshire castle I've not visited. Fantastic tour and a great insight into all the history the castle has witnessed over the years.
Must admit, I'd never heard of this castle, so it was interesting to hear about its history. A very substantial ruin, and a cool video. Thanks!
There was so much fascinating history in here and I learned a lot! I have never been here before so it was great having a look around!

I always imagine these places being overrun with tourists; is that usually the case? Your vids always seem to be at places with minimal people.. Lovely ruins, and video to boot! ; ).
Marvelous, so nicely preserved! Just gorgeous history lesson once again!
Love that place – so extensive and still up to the original height at many places.
Nicely presented!

Remarkable structure of the castle. Thick walls talk to us..
Revealing stories..I have not heard of…Again, you so much for educating me.
Its history is not just glory but bitter…

“Former car park resident” lol 😂
Such a fantastic castle! Can’t wait to see this whole tour 💙
Ooo love this one ‘Windsor of the north’ with your fabulous descriptions of these amazing remains you can really visualise what it was like in all its glory! Ooo yes the war of the roses was huge and this and its hosts sounds like they played a huge part! Treason treason treason spoken by Richard on his deathbed ended the war, did not know this! Wow the keep is most impressive for sure! Hope you both ran around 3 times and found some treasure 😂! Eery ghost story too! As always fabulous! Looks incredible from above can really see why it gets Windsor of the North x
What can I say you have delivered yet another great video so well done looking forward to more thanks so much from a veteran in Bristol 🎉🎉🎉
We gladly subscribed to your channel. We also love traveling and sharing our impressions. Many years ago, we visited England and explored an XI – century castle. Unfortunately, I don't remember its exact name. But your wonderful video brought back pleasant memories of that trip. Thank you! Best wishes from Switzerland 🇨🇭, and have a great week!😊🎉❤

Wow, if it's impressive as a ruin, just how incredible was it in it's heyday!
Hello Alessa and Brett, this is such a stunning Castle ruins. It is wonderful to have a tour around what would have been a thriving and busy place.
