This brings back lovely memories- especially of Dinas island! A wonderful video!
Which route would you recommend to return back to Grasmere from Rydal ? Thanks in advance.
Many thanks for this. If walking back to Grasmere you could go round the south side of Rydal Water and then round Grasmere - easy paths. Or alternatively there is a regular bus service from Rydal to Grasmere.
There are a number of on-line details of the Grasmere - Rydal walk - here is one www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_76.html
I’ve found the house across the street from one on Grand Design but still can not locate on a map. Would love to see how the sweet couple are over 20 yrs on
If I'm ever able to get back there I'm going to visit a lot of the places you've highlighted. Thank you.
Beautiful video, beautiful tune! Who played the tune?
The tune is 'Row me home to Islay' played by the Isle of Islay Pipe Band
Much similar to sardinian Nuraghes.
As someone who wishes to visit the British Islands someday, I find your videos very informative and charming! Greeting from Mexico! 😄
Many thanks for your kind comment. I hope you get to visit the British Isles soon.
I remember visiting the gardens many years ago: absolutely beautiful. Then went along the coast: dipped my hand into the sea and it was so warm! Thank you, North Atlantic Drift & Gulf Stream 🤗
There are some people's videos which I know I safely Like before I even what them. I loved the trip to the top of Snaefel - "As you can see, it's freezing cold and you can't see a thing." Beautifully filmed and presented, as usual.
Many thanks for your kind comments. Our plan had been to walk down from Snaefell summit to Laxey but the weather beat us.
Lovely! Thank you. I too love Wordsworth and made a video of the famous "Daffodils" just for my own pleasure. ( have never been able to visit but I feel as if I have been there. czcams.com/video/iWaTUgo8Vqw/video.htmlsi=w5l9OZmlMk9FgyWd
Fantastic🙏
Thank you for this great video, with all the historical facts. My mother is from Islay, but she left in 1954 to do her training as a nurse. Still have relatives there, we went there on holiday every year until I was 15 in the 1970's. Pleased to say it looks exactly the same.
I really enjoyed this video, so well made and informative. I can't wait to visit.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I visited the Lakes in May five years ago to walk in Keats’ footsteps. Now, I long to return to follow the paths that Dorothy and William walked.
Many thanks for your kind words. Hope you can return to the Lake District soon.
Got a smoke by any chance?
Amazing.. very interesting and well told.. loved the map to know exactly each location and scenery was wonderful.. thank you .. for video
Just outside Pembridge if you know where to go theres the most magical blue belle wood , i used to love playing in there as a small boy back in the early 1970s , i think i still have a cousin living in the village but most people i knew are now long passed
The good lady & I have made three day trips to Fetlar each time in June. Apart from the wind it’s quite pleasant & restful. But the ferry crossings will take quite a lump out of your day.
Black magic feels rife there
Just dishing up your dirt 💩 to solve a number if murders Tilly is involved in pluss he's with police help to protect him but he's off doing what he always does sex drugs and killing children in Somerset but you all love it alot!
Don't they sale kids here the collensos to pay for the rest and the guy that does the music in the town halls involved, I'm sure that's the dirt and they all know Billy Tilly The murdering Pedofile from somerset, taunton England. Same child buyer is it? Thanks for your information
Have wanted to do thus walk for a while. Defo going to do it after watching your video. The view looks amazing.
Diolch o galon❤
How lovely, and with a real person doing the voiceover, not some AI programme. I was interested to learn how to pronounce Weobley.
10:58 ..we are but flowers that glide.. 😮
I lived on Unst for 18 months whilst serving in the RAF, the best posting I ever had and returned in 1979 to visit friends.
Always loved Rothesay still do, very enjoyable film.
My grandfather left Shetland in the 1890's, while in his late teens to become a seafarer. He would eventually settle in Sydney, Australia. I have walked Lerwick's streets, wondering if we might have shared a particular place, albeit separated by a century.
My ancestor too. We seem to be all descended from Henry Vaughan,
Well done great video...
Im half Orcadian 🇳🇴 ❤🇬🇧 ❤ want to visit shetland too.
Wow, thank you lovely video, happy childhood memories of Ullapool.
Absolutely delightful. Thank you!
What a beautiful paradise ❤
loved the music and poetry,would love to know where i could find them Greai videos, coming up in May
Thanks for this. I'm not sure where you can buy the CD 'The Authentic Sound of Shetland' from which the music in the Unst videos is taken, but I was given my copy at the Tourist Information Centre in Lerwick. The poem 'Relax sit here a peerie while' is inscribed on the bench overlooking Skaw Bay - I don't know who the author is.
Thank you. Reading Coleridge and about Coleridge. Greetings from Opole, Poland.
Thanks for creating this documentary. Visited Isley several times while stationed at RAF Alconbury and fell in love with the isle. Planning to visit again soon and hopefully the Callumkill Estate is still available in Ardbeg. Sláinte from Alabama USA!!
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, you can still stay at the Callumkill Estate - see www.callumkill.com/staticpages/index.php/callumkill-farmhouse
Lovely! ❤️

This is so beautiful, thank you. Adele X
Great little video clips, enjoyed watching them ahead of our trip, thank you.
I have actually been to see the Island of Seil, & enjoyed every minute of this great Island , but that was years ago, no doubt there have big changes there over the years, l would love to go back sometime as the Island holds a big draw for me, so a big thank you for the person who made this great video of all time.
Many thanks for your kind comment. Hope you can get back to the island - you will find that it hasn't changed at all over the years.
