The pedestrian-only courtyards and streets are found in every town and city throughout all of Europe. Europe gives pedestrians and public transportation much greater consideration and priority than America does.
Almost there?
It is a pity that you missed the Yorvik Viking Centre, the remains of a Viking settlement.
... but they went to M&S!!!
She said, gritting her teeth! 🙂
😀Probably the best railway museum in the world too. Things to see next time, maybe!
Jorvik.
Ohh I went there in 2011. It was incredible. 🙌
"Fenwick's" (don't pronounce the "W" ) is actually a department store from Newcastle upon Tyne which has begun opening new shops around the country.
You guys are true anglos. Thank you for visiting.
The train museum at York is amazing. It houses queen Victoria’s porcelain that she used whilst travelling by train.
Agree but its a full day out at least to see, but it would have been worth it
It's definitely a full day's job to see it all, though.
AND ...Queen Victoria was one woman who DID have _a pot to piss in_ !!!
(Oh ...THAT kinda porcelain My bad!)
And it is free to see!!
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed York, it is a wonderful city, (sorry you didn't get to see the railway museum, I think you would have been blown away.) It's so wonderful to hear you say that everyone has been friendly, Yorkshire folk usually are but then I'm biased!
Or Yorvick Viking centre
You need at least a week to do York properly
The Railway museum was free the last time I was there
You're such a lovely couple,, I'm so glad you got so much out of your trip to the UK x
the singers musicians, are what we call buskers, and yes there are lots in London and most towns/ cities 😀
York is a city, not a town.
Hence the name of the football team.
6:17 That's Michael Wray - a colourful fixture at both York and Whitby.
The Archbishop of York is the second most senior archbishop in the Church of England (next to A of Canterbury)
Really liked your journey here in England and Scotland. Hope you liked it too. 👍🙂
I think those "native Americans" were from Peru. They're there every time I visit which is a couple of times a year. Seems like they're playing panpipes
Totally correct!!.
We saw them in Dorset years ago , same old same old
there must be loads of them, seems like they show up in every town
I went up the tower of York Minster many years ago, which was a huge mistake. Walking across a metal grid you could see right down through the holes. I was hugging the roof and couldn't move until a very kind American tourist helped me across. It was only one way to go. Fantastic views though! Your enthusiasm is catching. Great episode. Thank you xx
i have lived in york all my life sory i missed you and you probably need half a day for or more for the railway museum so glad you enjoyed your time here
and its only a 5 minute walk from the minster if you come again
I don't recognise those two but a lot of those pipe players are from Bolivia or Ecuador. I've not seen any for a while but I always take the time to chat with them.
Growing up in one of the Danelaw boroughs, I always love to see what York has done about its history.
I’m loving all these videos from your trip guys. You managed to get so much great content.
Nice summary guys of my home city. Yes York gets incredibly busy in the summer months with tourists.
Shame you missed the national railway museum. You should visit the yorvic centre (near Fenwicks) and the yorkshore museum next time.
Both of you are amazing people, very friendly 😊 glad you loved our country
If your using them as a barometer for amazing, then what label do you attribute to people that save lives or fight disease 🤔
@@christianking3915 what a bizarre response to the original comment.
@@singlecell2498 Take the stage then and explain, all yours 🤗
@@christianking3915 eh?
@@christianking3915 😴😴😴 ... Lighten up!!! 😄
The flute players were South American Indians, as opposed to Native North American Indians.
Thank you all ways a pleasure to watch your adventures .
So lovely isn't it! y kids used to live in York so I have spent some time there. Son lived above some shops really near the Minster. Glad you liked it.
So glad you enjoyed your time in the UK. Please come again, you are always welcome.
Great to see you've enjoyed your break in the UK :)
M&S food is fantastic. It’s always a treat to shop there. Expensive, but very good.
I going to miss these travel vlog. But they ain't over yet 😉. They've all been great and the updates. Cheers both 😀👌
*IM PLEASED MY HOME TOWN* made you feel welcome...!!!
Glad they had a true Yorkshire welcome
M & S, colloquial, Marks & Sparks
So happy that you seemed to love York, as much as I do...being a Dane, York has special historical meaning for me,
Go Vikings!! or not? 🥴🤣
p.s. so funny to actually hear you say, 'it was only about 1/2 a mile away'
You did some fine walking in the UK!!
hello from Denmark 🌸 🌱
York is the Viking capital of England, did you go to the Yorvik Museum?
M & S. English "jewry firm" that started in Leeds, 30 mls away. They did'nt much care for the "Palatines" in York. Same'ish now, turks/blackamoors, not welcome. The irony is not lost on me. A different type of malaise is "abroad", but abroad it is. For ever thus.......may be ?
@@thewidowmaker4037
Me? absolutely!!
whether Ethan and wifey Angela did?
- I have no idea 🤔
York was the capital of the 'Danelaw'
a legacy which continues to this day
with the North/South divide
Interestingly you'll only find 'by' in places
within this former territory such as Derby
and Grimsby
@@stephenchappell7512 I went to school in a village in Cheshire called Helsby. The village about a mile away was called Frodsham.
Great Viking names!
I'm loving travelling with you both.
A lot of England's most stunning cathedrals are in smaller cities - Ely, Durham, Wells, Lincoln etc. Worth checking out such places if you return to the UK given how much impressed you were with the glorious York Minster.
(9:17) Yaaaay! Great to see the 'coffee shop' guys - it brought back a lot of memories.
My FIRST ever job was on Saturdays in a book shop (circa 1976). The shop additionally rented (super cheap) that very room where the coffee shop is now. It was very cramped: lined with bookshelves and just a desk, chair and wooden cash drawer. Year round it was just another storage area for books, but during the Summer, it was dusted down, and opened up on Saturdays for tourists. Not much to see, and no upstairs in those days, just the very slight chance they might see a book they liked.
1976 was a doozy of a Summer in the UK, and I'd gone to work in shorts and t-shirt, to be told I'd be manning the 'Bar book shop' that day. Very exciting, because the key to the door was friggin' gynormous! - straight out of a Frankenstein movie.
Once inside it was a blissful retreat from the blazing Summer sun. The walls of the bar are solid stone (obvs) but sooo thick (about 2-3ft) that none of the heat gets in. As the day wore on, sitting down, in skimpy clothing, I began to shiver from the cold. To shop visitors it was a welcome respite, but to me, I thought I'd die of hypothermia during the biggest heatwave that Britain had seen in decades.
Great video - just wonderful to see the city, all the nooks and crannies again - that we locals never usually bother with. I'll have to visit the café though - and see if it's still as chill as I remember.
what a lovely memory of that being a book shop....it sounds like my sort of place....and imagine feeling too chilly in the summer of '76 😅
😲Angela, you made it into CJ Explores video of York! Around 4.02 into their York video, there is a drone shot and you can clearly be seen on the wall with your navy blue jacket and orange Sainsbury's bag!!! I think Nathan is also in it,
So your Sainsbury's bag even photo bombed someone else's video LOL 🤣
Love your recaps
This makes me miss York so much, lived there till i was 39 and moved away about 10 yrs ago :(
Used to live in York, my brother lives there and my dad lives just outside York. These videos make me want to move back (although knowing property and rent prices I can't afford to!)
Soooo pleased that you liked being in YORK
Yet again you found a coffee shop in a strange historical setting first Edinburgh Castle now York City Wall, I actually think it is cool that these places are still used rather than just roped off to look at. Loving these videos & I hope you come back soon
Glad to hear you went to Wells. It's a lovely little city.
You guys should consider that Hundreds of years ago some of your distant ancestors may have walked the same streets and footsteps you have been walking...
It’s a pity you never made the National Railway Museum, it’s awesome, the best in the world. Also the Castle museum is really worth a visit if you ever return. I was surprised you never made the “Jorvik Centre”.
yeah...you should have gone to the yorvik viking museum....(york is a viking name)...also...william wallace (braveheart)..laid seige to york back in the day...so much history in york..from the romans onwards..and yeah, for such a relatively small town, in the north of england!!
William Wallace did NOT lay seige to York.
Chichester cathedral is amazing. The poet john keats wrote his poem the eve of st Agnes after gazing upon a cloister in which a nun was imprisoned.She was said to be so beautiful.
Your fear of mannequins and love of milk shakes Both put a big grin on my face. 😃
Dr. Who and the Autons would really freak him out.
You will find buskers and street performers in every large town in the UK. They do need permission, though.
York Minister is worth a visit at Christmas. They decorate it and have seasonal hymns.
Lots of big Cathedrals in the UK. You must have passed Durham Cathedral on the train to Scotland (its visible from the Train) and thats HUGE, awe inspiring and a bit creepy
York Minster, Westminster Abbey, and other Anglican/Episcopalian cathedrals open for tourist visits after morning services, and close before Evensong. Though the public may, of course, attend these services and enjoy both the worship and the fine choirs. On Sundays, these places generally only open for tourists after noon, as the mornings are dedicated to Eucharist and Matins services. BTW, the "native American" musicians you noted were from either Bolivia or Colombia.
I'm glad you guys felt like locals in York. I am not from Birmingham but I promise, if you don't visit the second city, specially Birmingham City Centre, your visit to the UK is not even half way through. Birmingham library, New Street station, Bullring, Snow Hilll....
York has always been an important town, but became of huge importance in the Middle Ages as it was the home of the royal House of York.
The members of any given royal house didn't necessarily have much, if anything, to do with the place their title came from. York was an important town in the north of England because it had been the capital of one of the ancient kingdoms, in the same way that Winchester was important in the south because it had been capital of Wessex. In addition, York was the seat of the second archbishopric, giving it enormous power in mediaeval times. It's for those reasons that the Plantagenets named one of their sons 'Duke of York', not because they lived there. Even Richard III, a popular king in York and who died in the last battle of the Wars of the Roses, wasn't from there - he was born at Fotheringay, in Northamptonshire. He was however given a lot of land in the north and he did stay there a lot so his connection with York is stronger than most. He also had a lot of land in the south-west - maybe he just got about a bit! 😃
@@carolineb3527 It was common for the Monarch to arrive with little or no advance notice at the house of an aristocrat with their enormous retinue in tow for a day or two often longer. It would sometimes almost bankrupt the Lord/Duke as the Monarch never paid for the stay. It was a way of gaining favour with the people and the landed gentry, avoiding the plague if a Royal Palace was in a plague area, it also saved an often poor treasury money. The practice died out somewhat with the Hanovarian Kings as they spoke very little English or French, if any. Queen Victoria had to ban the speaking of German in her Court.
@@tonys1636
George l never learned English and spoke to his ministers and advisors in French.
George ll learnt English although German was his native language.
George lll was born in England and English was his native language. However, he could read and write in German and he studied French and Latin.
York was strategically important as far back as Roman times.
Just a couple of things on pronunciation: Greggs is literally just "eggs" with a Gr in front - not Greigs. And Fenwick is pronounced "Fennik" 👍👍
True, but the surname 'Greig' is pronounced identically to 'Gregg' anyway.
@@Findo_Gask OK, I get your point - sort of - was just trying to find a way of illustrating that his pronunciation was slightly off 😉
I'm English but the way we obsess over pronunciation is so cringe. Please stop it
They should have come to Newcastle
Nobody cares.
It's very obvious (thus far) that you've posted more vlogs from York than any other of your stop off points in the UK. I'm not personally from York but I am from Yorkshire, and there's a spark of pride that you've found a lot pleasure and contentment in 'God's own country' as Yorkshire is known. Yorkshire people are known for being direct and blunt speaking when voicing their opinions. But when they take someone to their heart, they stay there for good. When you return to the UK - and I'm certain you WILL return, make sure you make time to visit this neck of the woods (Yorkshire) again.
Q: "How do you know if someone is from Yorkshire?" A: "They'll tell you!!"
There's 2 types of people in this world, those from Yorkshire, and those who wish they were 😂
Yorkshire.........the UK's equivalent of Texas
@@stephenchappell7512 we're not inbreds in Yorkshire (apart from from Barnsley 🤣)
I would love to hear their reaction to Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay
The York railway museum is very good. There’s also a Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, which isn’t very far away. There’s also the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.
@LindyLou. Leeds also has a museum of medicine. Bradford has the Media Museum and a good Industrial Museum and there is the Mining Museum between Wakefield and Huddersfield. Keighley has the Worth Valley Railway which goes to Haworth, where there is the Bronte Museum. Piece Hall in Halifax is also worth a visit and I have only mentioned West Yorkshire.
Great to see you've really enjoyed your time in York, I might a bias as it's my hometown, but a fun fact is York minster is Northern Europe's largest medieval cathedral and England's largest gothic cathedral
The railway museum is an absolute MUST, although i do'nt know what they're charging to get in, nowadays. The lass''s face just beams all the time; A good antidote to ya man. (Hey, ya alright, it's just how some of us are "shaped") Keep up the good work. x
It’s still free.
Really enjoyed these hope one day you come back 😀
From the Minster to the Railway Museum is only a 20 minute walk, I know that you would be tired, it's been a long and full holiday for all of you, I'm really pleased that you have enjoyed York, I understand why people just go to London, but there really is far more to the UK than London, it's not a place I like, I was there last week and I was pleased to get home to my little flat by myself.
I know that before you left for the UK you had many plans, but I'm pleased for you that you pruned it down quite a lot, from watching what Joel posted of his visit over here, they really did spend a lot of time on trains, you both showed the sites of where you were, Joel's was mostly trains whizzing by fields and maybe a minute or so looking into the distance, you were far more sensible and stayed in one place for a few days and had a proper look around, I'm not trying to be mean to him, but it was a good opportunity missed because he thought visiting more places ment seeing more, but it really means travelling more than seeing what is there. Your time in the Minster was a wonderful video and even though it was just a bit of fun, you both being on the walls, that too was a really good video too, you both looked so at ease with yourselves and the surroundings, you were enjoying it all and surely that is the point of going somewhere new to you. Thank you for sharing your visit to the UK with us, it was an incredible journey to watch and it certainly looked like a good one to be on too, tiring yes, but happy memories for you I certainly hope so.
Yea we didn't go to the museum because of timing not tiredness. We spent the whole first day with a couple of subscibers/friends and yes spent a half day going to stores which we chose to do because of everyone talking about them and sending us things from them and we knew we wouldn't have a chance the rest of trip to do the stores. If we go back to York though we will go there. Glad you have been enjoying the videos I know there's alot but as people helped us with the trip we wanted to make sure we filmed.
Next time, you could go to Chester to see some more walls - and there’s some Roman columns in the basement in what used to be a ladies’ clothes shop. You could go in and ask to see the ruins - the staff were quite old and asked if we wanted to see the Roman columns and not them!
Just outside Chester just over the River Dee in Handbridge is a park that was the Quarry where the Romans got the stone to build Chester, in the park is a statue to the shrine to the Goddess Minerva in its original position.
Chester is great. Lived there, York and Edinburgh.. Not bad at all 😊
Loved this video of you guys exploring my birthplace. ♥️ Our all girls school used to sing in The Minster for special services. Shame you didn't get to see the Castle Museum ( somewhere else your ticket lasts a whole year). Glad you liked it though.... we're not like London at all. Everyone rushing around with no time for each other ( it's even a culture shock for us the first time) 😂 Us Yorkshire people are possibly the most welcoming and friendly people you can meet and I hope you experienced some true Yorkshire hospitality during your stay. ❤️
I remember a pub in York that had a Roman bath house in the basement.
If you like visiting Cathedrals, Liverpool has two great ones. The Liverpool Cathedral is the biggest in the UK
Not as attractive architecturally though.
Problem is rest of Liverpool is a shit hole
Just to point out that York Minster is Northern Europe's largest medieval cathedral and England's largest gothic
@Nicky L does that take away from the enjoyment
@Nicky L not that old, the oldest parts of the minster are close to a thousand years old
Glad you’re having a good time. Yes York has an excellent Railway Museum and how historically it shaped the UK. Just so you know York has City status, not town. 😉. Enjoy, great having you over.
The railway shaped the world not just the UK
@@susansmiles2242 Yes. I said the UK, Susan. The British invented the railway and the modern gauge system used globally. I do realise there are railways all over the world, but thank you, Susan.
I live about a 3 hour drive from York yet I've never stopped to have a look around. Drove right past it loads of times on my way to other places yet never thought to drop in. I really need to sort that out one day. Glad that you had a good time there and a bit strange that it took a vid from people from another continent to show me what I am missing.
What are you waiting for :) !
@@revbenf6870 Pure laziness :)
If it's a public place they can't assume there won't be anyone else there, so if they'd actually asked you to leave they'd have been very entitled. They don't own the place.
Yeah, like other folks have said, it's a shame you couldn't go to the Yorvik Centre. I remember going there on school trips a few times when I was a kid, always enjoyed it. The York Dungeon would have been another great day out. Maybe next time...
Just FYI, the walls are known as the Bar Walls, named after the four gates, called Bars, which were the historical entrances to the city. In fact you were at one of the Bars during your walk. The best known is Micklegate Bar, known for it's pub run, then Bootham Bar, near the Minster, named after the football ground 😅 , Monk Bar (which I always remember for having a model shop next to it, I think that it's still there), and Walmgate Bar, the one you visited without realising it. Hope you liked your visit to my home town. You might have missed it, but at Monk Bar is a museum dedicated to Richard III.
Those squares in all the little towns are market squares. One day a week, different days, according to the town,ĺ these squares host markets. There are fruit and veg stalls, farmers butchers stalls and all sorts of random things. These markets have been held on these sites for hundreds of years and at Christmas time hot chestnut vendors and mulled wine is sold. They are the heart of the towns. The North of England is particularly rich in these.
If you like cathedrals and ever come to the west country then Salisbury and Wells are obvious candidates.
Salisbury Cathedral is seriously impressive.
And Winchester Cathedral, which also has King Alfred's Great Hall half a mile away.
if you like cathedrals' .. come to Liverpool , we have 2! Liverpool Cathedral is the largest cathedral and religious building in Britain
@@paulhanson5164
That's the Great Hall and only surviving part of the vanished Winchester Castle although it does contain the alleged 'King Arthur's' Round Table
Yess, West country 💪
Sounds like you want to come back and see more lol. Well I’m glad you enjoyed it and again good job on the video.
The native pipers come to Whitby regularly - well before covid restrictions they did I've not seen them recently I think they sell their DVD's too
The puppeteers are also a familiar sight in Whitby at the harbour
You became Yorkshire folk by accident. Glad you liked it
Historically York was England's 2nd city
It was the capital on several occasions throughout history and served as defacto Capital in the North, until the Union of Scotland and England.
If England ever achieves independence from Scotland , York will probably become its capital.
That’s funny that you accidentally photobombed someone else’s channel. So glad that you enjoyed my home town. You’ve left yourself enough to do on another visit too.
The London tube stations have busker spots where they can sing, play or whatever. These people have to undergo auditions to be approved and gain a spot.
The experience you had would be just as interesting as we would have coming to your area. Nice people, I'm sure.
You can spend the best part of a week looking around the National Railway Museum (one of my fave attractions in York) and still not see everything, so maybe it was good that you didn't go. And yes Nando's; it is actually a South African concern which started here some time ago (20 years?) and has spread to other parts of the world. The Lemon Chicken is my best!
York Minister is gobsmackingly BIG! It floors me every time I go in there. On my list to visit when I come back to 'ol Blighty in the not too distant future.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Brian
Nando's has been a franchise in SA for at least 30 years, so they must have been around long before then.
@@gedsimpson9854 Yes, you are right..... the first branch was in Rosettenville in Jo'burg now that I come to think about it.
I lived in that area in the early 90's. I saw they had spread to the UK when I was over in Leeds in 2004. Good stuff.
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
I can never remember that all the way through.
@@no-oneinparticular7264 I have a junk shop for a memory. There's also an alternative to the last few lines.
@@rebeccat94 The magpie at the beginning of filming certainly wanted to announce it's presence!
@@josefschiltz2192 my mind works like this.
@@fayesouthall6604 Sometimes it can be a joy and also it can be torturous!
We went to London on holiday and all our plans went out of the window when we got to the south bank. We spent two and a half days just on the south bank
I think the man with the dancing puppet was playing a Concertina. Accordions are much larger and sound better. Pleased you enjoyed yourselves. Looking forward to the next one.
The National Railway Museum will easily eat up at least half or a whole day... so if you only have a couple of hours, it's best to give it a miss as it's a Lot of walking.
thanks for another great recap.....
Guys by this point you are probably more knowledgable on British culture than most British people - hats off to you, glad to have you visit our shores
Did you not visit Jorvik? I’m amazed that you didn’t. In addition to being a Roman town, it was once a thriving Viking city and the Jorvik centre is the museum dedicated to it
You need at least 5 days for York. Its fab. Afternoon tea at Bettys the Jorvik centre for Vikings, railways all worth a visit . I have really enjoyed your videos. You said M&S had too many own brands but it is there marketing strategy their own brand if marketed as superior under the slogan. There's food and there's M&S food, I am new to your channel I will trawl your back catalogue, I hope to find some videos of your home state. It is probably overlooked as a an area of interest and all areas have something unique and charming
Although I live in Somerset England has some amazing history and yes I have been to most of the UK and Scotland…… by the way I’m English but I also play Native American Flute and do tribal dances those native are mostly from South America Peru Mexico etc I have played along with them
As of this moment Scotland is still part of the UK.
I lived near one of the gates into the city, and there was ALWAYS people wanting to get the perfect picture or video. There's so many people doing it, so often, that they nearly always have someone in the background, either other tourists, or people like me, who are going into town to buy potatoes and peppers.
I wouldn't feel bad about it, as this happens all the time, and for us locals, we can't spend our time waiting for photographers to finish their shots before we continue with our day, or we'd not be able to navigate our way around the city!
Yea I could see i saw plenty of people filming and doing photography
8:03 I have been to the Nando's in Chicago! The menu is a bit different to ours, lacking some things (though the fresher full size corn on the cob is a nice addition). However, at least American Nando's has decently hot sauces - Canadian Nando's toned it down to the point that their Hot is the same as the UK's Medium!
There’s always the choral recitals and the xmas Carol service
you two are adorable !
great to hear from you again. .. when you day Westminster abbey and the Houses of Parliament . i would pay to be there lol xx
Lol just to see how dumbfounded wed look?
Next time you will have to have a month long holiday, it will be the same story for most people, there is only so much you can cram in with the amount of time you have, anyhoo nice you ve enjoyed what ya did do, keep on doing what ya ll doing
how did you guys make this much content and still enjoy the experience 🤯
There are Fenwicks stores all over England.
You guys should check out videos of the river when it’s in flood
Did you come into Wales at all because you could have gone to the smallest city in uk which is St. Davids
The Ghost Tours there are brilliant
Walking from the Minster to the Rail museum only takes 5-10 mins!
Did you visit the Jorvik Viking Centre? I went there as part of a school trip to York - in 1982! (God I'm old ;). It was very cool.
Come on guys show us your area,love to see your surroundings.
@Leslie Allen. Ethan replied when I asked about US WW1 Museum near them. They have stuff on CZcams and you could look further afield on Google? It would be nice for them to show us, like with the holiday in US they covered last trip.
You've had a wonderful time I hope. In the best country in the world. Basically the UK .
York is a very important part of Roman & Christian history.
It was while Constantine was on tour in York with his father & predecessor, the Emperor Constantius, that he was declared the new Emperor by the Roman army stationed in York.
Traditionally every Emperor was formerly a soldier and so he was not really eligible to succeed his father, but the loyal garrisons in York ignored tradition and declared him the next Emperor anyways, overruling the Senate back in Rome.
Constantine I. ( or Constantine the Great) went on to be one of the most influential Roman Emperors.
He made Christianity the state religion of the Empire, effectively spreading Christianity to Europe and establishing the foundations of European & Western culture.
It all started in York (or "Eboracum" as the Romans called the city back then. Meaning 'the place where the yew trees grow').
That Yew tree was Christianity.
Wow I did not know this so I appreciate you sharing! Definitely makes me look at the minister in a new light, Definitely have learned to do the audio guides for next time
Feniks( you don't pronounce the W in Fenwick's)...
Like brits don't mispronounce American names right?
U guys not do the yorvik center? Where else can u walk viking streets
