As an American I don't know much about Northern Ireland. Today I am very interested to learn about some of the best places to visit in all of Northern Ireland. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
The Titanic was built in Belfast !
Yeah and nature sunk it.
what he said 👆🤣 its ok he probably thought it was American built 🤣🤣 Sorry Tyler lol
Tyler has never been the brightest
@@user-qj7et4wv3q Technically, yes; but as they say in Belfast, "Built by an Irishman, sunk by an Englishman."
@@reggriffiths5769 yeah sort of it was technically sunk due to a collision with a iceberg due to the incompetence of Captain Edward Smith, who was an ex Royal Navy Serviceman, he'd apparently been woken from his sleep to deal with the situation.
This bit is a pun by the way so no offence intended. After being woken from a deep sleep in which he'd been dreaming that he was Lord Nelson, couldn't see the iceberg because he'd forgotten to remove his sleep-time eye mask, and unintentionally sailed too close to the berg. Just one possible reason.
The Titanic was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the Harland and Wolff shipyard for the White Star Line as one out of three sister ships, the other two being Olympic and Britannic.
The Titanic's port of registration was Liverpool though it never visited there.
It's maiden and as it turned out, only voyage, departed from Southampton on the 10th April 1912. It's destination was New York but it was never to arrive. On 15th Apri, midway across the Atlantic ocean on it's maiden voyage it struck an iceberg and sunk with the death of over 1500 of it's passengers and crew out of a total of over 2200. So 2/3rds on board died.
At the time it occurred it was considered the worst maritime disaster to ever have happened.
As a side note, the Britannic was sunk in the Mediterranean during WW1 whilst it was being used as a hospital ship bringing injured troops back to the UK from the Dardenells in modern day Turkey. The wreck of the Britannic is better preserved than the wreck of the Titanic because it rests in both far shallower and warmer water.
Registered in Liverpool as that was where the White Star Line had their offices before the merger with Cunard. The small ship in the dry dock is the last remaining port tender of Titanic / White Star Line used in Cherbourg, later bought by the port authority and rescued when they sold it for scrap. A Port of Cork tender was used in Queenstown, now Cobh.
Titanic built in Belfast I thought everyone knew that Ryan. 2 huge cranes called Samson and Goliath!! Now a huge tourist attraction and museum there for tourists
This is Ryan's brother, Tyler. Ryan is the smart one 😅
@@nolajoy7759I'd love to take Tyler around the UK. You , not so much.
@@reluctantheist5224 I am sure you'd enjoy the company more of someone on your own level. 😊
@@nolajoy7759 Certainly! But we would condescend to yours if you became a nice person.😜
@@reluctantheist5224 If you read my original comment (not addressed to you) I was nice...to his brother Ryan! But I don't suffer fools. 😊
That shot of Game of Thrones at the dark hedges, I was one of the extras during that shot
That must have been fun!
The Giants Causeway is at the beginning, not the Cotswolds (or Coswolds, as you called it - twice).
The Titanic was built in Belfast.
Yeah and nature sunk it.
The Giant's Causeway is said to link up with Fingals Cave on the Isle of Staffa across the sea in Scotland. The rock is the same hexagonal basalt.
Legend has it that an Irish giant named Finn McCool created a causeway to get across the Irish Sea to face his rival, the Scottish giant Benandonner. Following their fearsome meeting, Benandonner ripped up the causeway as he fled back to Scotland, leaving what you see here today.
It's an amazing place to visit, owned by the National Trust.
Belfast Ship Yard in Northern Ireland built the Titanic. Another fun fact, 80% of game of thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland
Also in the Titanic quarter is HMS Caroline, the only surviving ship which was present at the Battle of Jutland.
People built towns within the protection of the local castle and also, castles were built to control the towns. Isolated castles are rare.
The giants causeway was used on the cover of Houses of the Holy album
I've been to the Republic many times as my mother is from there originally but never the North. Really want to go now. I hope you continue to be stunned by the beauty of the UK and one day get to come over.
Proud to call this my home and to offer intimate private tours to discerning travellers. Best and most remarkable landscapes in all Ireland.
And he called the Titanic a cruise ship instead of an ocean liner!
🙄
You can take a look at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish island of Staffa which is the other end of the Giant's Causeway! Same rock formation.
17:40 you can see my house there..cant believe the gobbins path wasn't shown here
The titanic was built in northern Ireland
Yeah and nature sunk it.
@@user-qj7et4wv3qIt was the dopey English captain that drove the ship into an iceberg, "nature" was minding it own business 😄
@@yermanoffthetelly since when did a captain become a wheelsman, ah that's right when he's forced to become multitasking before his senses are fully alert from coming out of his regulatory dreamscape, cum on pull t'other one me ol' mucka.
@@yermanoffthetelly he didn't drive the ship right into it, learn before you speak
@@Jmurky1234 Eh, yes he did. That's exactly what happened. And what's worse is they received 6 warnings of sea ice earlier that day.
Hello from Derry!! That first building you thought was maybe a monastery, is the Guildhall.
The city was founded by Saint Colmkille in the 5th century. So much history here.
Look forward to seeing you........
Why would a castle be built NOT in a town? A castle needs a community to support it.
Northern Ireland gets plenty of tourists from the US many of whom are looking into their family's history and connections with the country.
The small ship in the dry dock in Belfast is the SS Nomadic which was owned by the White Star Line and was used to transfer passengers and mail to land where the liners to too big to enter port.
The Nomadic is a video on its own.
When are you going to take a look at the British channel Islands? Such as "Old" JERSEY who gave it's name to the state of New Jersey
Castles were built to defend towns/cities,not a lot of point in building in the middle of nowhere.
Re Castles, they were built in strategic areas but towns almost always grew up around them for commerce and safety, also most early settlements were started by rivers for water, sewage and transport.
he has reacted to the giants causeway before, but in this vid he is reacting to seeing it like he,s seeing it for the very first time.
And then he calls it the "coswolds" (twice) about 10 minutes later instead of Causeway!! 🙄
Yeah, he does that a LOT.
Why is Tyler constantly surprised that you can visit historic sites in the UK? Surely he's seen enough videos of places of interest to realise that this is the norm here.
It's no coincidence that many castles are right in the centre of a town or city. The towns themselves often grew up next to the castle, as the centre of local commerce and power. In other locations, it's because there is a significant port, or trade route intersection which the Castle was built to defend, and the town to access.
Wish the narrator wouldn't keep pronouncing 'Antrim' as 'Anterim'. Otherwise a nice little video.
You'd have had your own historical buildings if you hadn't knocked them down and 'put up a parking lot'!!!
Ah, paradise….last time I saw it was by the dashboard light.
@@sputukgmail ... but it's not a US food reaction! 😀
@@margaretnicol3423 food reactions are old hat, but you don’t know what you got ‘till it’s gone I guess ;)
@@sputukgmail Well if you don't know where to lay your hat you could be getting into troubled waters.
@@margaretnicol3423 you keep making me laugh…time after time! I know girls just wanna have fun but, you got me. Another one bites the dust.
Most castles in the UK are places you can walk around, but please don't chip bits off.
It must be a lot of fun to cross that rope bridge in a gale.
I'm with you. I'd want to cross the bridge alone.
Most castles in the UK are either free to roam or a fee for a guided tour but are open to the public
Nice to see a reaction to my country northern ireland, I'm also shocked to see a few clip from giants causeway and mourne mountains from my drone videos used in this video without my permission, but I don't really mind too much, it was a well put together video
That's all these type of videos are..making money with "borrowed" content.
@@nolajoy7759 true, although I'm not sure "borrowed' is the right word, could say "stolen" content. I wish Tyler had left a link to the original to see if I was at least credited. But I'm not too bother as it promotes my country well.
Nice one mate, love you
TITANIC WAS BUILT WHERE THE MUSEUM IS NOW LOCATED! ☺
There are Hollywoods in Wicklow and Northern Ireland just as there are Bostons and a Baltimore.
Correction, there is no Hollywood in Northern Ireland. There is however, a Holy Wood that is now a conjoined name, and has only one "L" in the name. On the other hand, you can name a hundred or more place-names from all parts of the UK and Ireland that have been applied to towns all over the US, but with the original British spelling, and Holywood is not one of them! If you type Holywood into any browser or Word application, you will straightaway get an error warning - such is the huge difference.
There is a Hollywood in Wicklow, near Naas, that appears on Google and has two "L"'s. @@reggriffiths5769
Went on the bridge when I was a child, very terrifying!
I live about 10 minutes from the castle, ref Holywood it's separate from the museum.
The dark hedges were in the Game of thrones
Tyler, Check out the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge (free), and the Capilano Suspension Bridge (more for tourists, so not free), in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
One of the best videos on NI I've seen. I'm sure there are many more hidden gems. Villages would be set up by the workers who built the castles, masons, carpenters etc and castles needed food. They would usually set up a farm or fishing industry to support the soldiers. Hence, the towns.
LMFAO at the Titanic bit🤣
To put the giants causeway at 13 is a sin
10:40 U.S.A. does have some castles. Not many, but definitely some. The Bannerman castle comes to mind. (in/near New York)
I’m surprised the Marble Arch caves in Fermanagh or Scrabo Tower in Newtownards were not on the list. The caves are also an UNESCO world heritage site.
The north coast is amazing but I’d highly recommend the Wild Atlantic Way - starts in the North, all the way to Galway in the South. There are so many hidden gems in NI but these are the most ‘touristy’. The Sperrin mountains are officially classified ‘a place of natural beauty’ & it didn’t make the list nor did Crumlin gaol, the Belfast peace walls.
Fun fact: Michael Jackson (the singer) tried to buy Dunluce Castle & restore it. He was turned down three times & at one point he tried to sue but the local people wanted it to remain as a heritage site.
I didn't know that. It may have ended up like a Disney castle! 😀
My great grandfather was a fireman on the Titanic, THEY BUILT THE TITANIC IN BELFAST,
That's why it's in Belfast
It IS another world. There is magic there.
Most company’s give employers 4 weeks holiday paid. In uk and Europe That does not include the 8 bank holidays per year. If you work for a large company after a certain time working for them you get extra paid holidays up to 6 weeks ( extra days added EVERY FEW YEARS) normally 10.15, 20,25 days
Castles are different depending on their use, some are fortresses and some are residential.
Hi there Tyler. Messaging you 5:35 from Northern Ireland. Enjoy your videos very much. We are a small country with a large history. Millions of your north American peoples came originally from here.
Pity they left their intelligence behind when they left then.
Search the song " Mountains of Morn."
Mourne*
Hexagonal rock formations are found all around the world, even the US.
A bigger mystery is why younger Americans pronounce "t" on "often", but not in "soften".
Also "listen" and "christen".
More British people than not pronounce "often" that way too. When I was young, it was always "offen" or "awffen" if you were posh. I think the "t" stopped being silent owing to hyper-correction (upwardly mobile people modifying their original accent, not realising that their old way of saying a word was "right" all along). It's similar to "Haitch" for the letter H.
The giants causeway bridge myth/legend is a good story.
The dark hedges are neither dark nor hedges.
I love 5 mile away from the castle you like
North of the US border there is a walled city call Qubeck
Québec.. and yes.
There are a couple of versions of the tale of the giants causeway. The one I was told was that the giant Finn built it to be able to visit his girlfriend in Scotland, another is that he built it to fight another giant in Scotland.
Derry is the Irish name, Londonderry is the UK name, make sure to not get that wrong if visiting!
I've come to recognise that Tyler often poses as someone who doesn't know things, that we all realise he must already know. He couldn't have lived this long and know as little as he claims, even if he lived on Pitcairn Island or in the Caprivi Strip. Feigned ignorance is Tyler's online fake persona. 😅
I don't think so; The Yanks are not taught much of anything outside of their own State, never mind outside their own country! Once they leave school they stop learning anything, which is why they can't spell, can't write, can't articulate and always speak in idioms. They know all about films and film stars, but know nothing else beyond their comics and cartoons. One they do better than every other nation, is talk, talk, talk, Their mouths never stop moving, for ewhen they're not talking, they're chewing gum or stuffing their faces - which leads on to their eating habits which are not entirely dissimilar to farmyard pigs - pigs never learnt to use cutlery either!
But here's a question: Why would anyone want to feign ignorance or stupidity? I've met a great many Americans, but never found one who wasn't a bit of a thicko, and never found one I'd want as a neighbour.
@@reggriffiths5769 it certainly comes across as feigned when he has repeatedly watched the same subject matter but still claims to have never heard of or seen something before he saw a couple of months previously! I thought he feigned it to get more "clicks" to get more money, as more people react and comment to explain things to him - which of course earns him more money from You Tube. But after watching him forget the Giants Causeway today in the space of about 10 minutes and call it the "Coswolds", maybe he truly is unable to retain information! The over-acting thing - the constant laughing and over-exaggerated facial expressions are an act though, as you can see by watching old videos of him, alone or with his brother, where his persona is completely different. There likely is a big factor of being uneducated, but also I am sure he does "act" ignorant too, simply to generate views and Comments and earn more $$$. If he really eanted to "learn", why does he NEVER read or respond to the Comments. People take time to send him information and explanations, and he can't even show enough respect to his viewers to give so much as a "Like"? That annoys me and why sometimes I can't hold my tongue on here..I feel bad for the people who he "takes for a ride" and those who are kind enough to want to send him things and he doesn't give them the time of day. And it's not just UK - he does the same to Norway and Canada..used to do Japan too for a while but dropped them when not enough views. I probably just wasted my time too, writing this 😅
@@nolajoy7759 You must understand - he's "just another average American," which means thick as s**t, but not so thick when earning money. The whole think is an act, and not just him but countless others. I enjoy winding them up, and if they get a few Bucks from it, it's not coming out of my pocket! Do you think he cares? I do agree with you on the complete lack of responses. I have someone who uploads my videos on YT, but we always respond to comments - a matter of common decency. If I expect people to view my uploads, I'm more than happy to respond. But as I say, most of the Yanks are only in it to pamper themselves and get paid for it.
Most Castles would have towns and cities develop around them, as they were the power of the area, many of these towns and Cities developed into our towns and cities today, and castles being castles (pretty tough) they stuck around lol, so I would say its rarer to find a castle all on its own but they do exist.
Do you mean you didn't see the people on the Mourne Mountains? They were perfect to see the scale of the mountains.
the Castles you can enter same in Germany i look every day at 2 Castles in my Town, We have around 25k Catles in my Country ...
11:30 'Castles in a Town' = the Town actually grew around the Castle being there. That is a fact.
You're showing that you are an American, it's not a fault at all just a general lack of awareness of Medieval History and historical developments this side of the Atlantic.
+ The Titanic was actually built in Belfast.
There are 9 castles in Dublin, capital city of Ireland.
Ok..add castles (and possibility of access to castles) to the "surprised and amazed even though I have reacted to this numerous times" list, along with the kettles, Yorkshire pudding and roasts. 😅
Regarding the Ulster Folk Museum: there are quite a few of these open-air museums across the UK, Tyler. They are original buildings of all sorts from within the region the museum is in, that have been carefully dismantled, with all their stones and building parts numbered, so that they can be rebuilt exactly as there were within the museum campus, as an authentic historic experience.
Castles were built for difference purposes that aren't always defensive; with many of the newer ones simply being private residences. Those apart, most of the others do welcome visitors, although managed as tourist attractions as various bodies - that you need to pay to get into...
The highest mountain in Northern Ireland is Slieve Donard, the summit of which is 3216 feet above sea level. It is within the Mournes area.
That is one of the better videos I've seen about Northern Ireland, as it's not all about Belfast and Antrim. You're quite right - it is very overlooked.
The first open air museum created (and possibly the largest) is in Stockholm though
They filmed the movie Dungeons and Dragons at the castle
The Titanic was built in Belfast !!
Towns grew up around the castles over time.
We can visit most any historical sites in the UK. We wouldn't, as you said in the video about Americans, " chipping bits off from the walls and take them home " !!
Bridge is reinforced with steel cables.
You need to understand, we can buy a sandwich and sit by a wall 1,000 years old without thinking about it. US has some wonderful natural wonders, but has the US is so big, may be most US citizens have to travel far
I haven't been to Ulster for many years, but from what I am hearing from people, it's very cheap and has very good travel bargains.
Take in the Republic in your trip, although that side of the border is not so cheap, and don't forget that they have Euros.
And that's the reason it's more expensive that side of the border.
I was going to say
The titanic was built in Belfast
Who knew??? Everyone in the world except you.
He's taken to asking "Who knew?" about all sorts of things that are really well-known...like the Titanic being built at one of the world's best-known shipyards; or the 60million year old basalt stones that make up the Giant's Causeway, or castles being made large & sturdy enough to protect the villagers & farmers in times of war., and have access to water in times of siege, war, invasion.
Both he & his brother seem not to be readers... While videos give people a sort of simplified version of history, much of the content is composed of myth, legend, & inaccuracies.
Without reading - not necessarily big thick books, but newspapers, articles, research papers etc. it's pretty difficult to get a rounded view. That's why, I think, they don't link things together, or draw obvious conclusions (like what castles were built for!)....but, even so, they have learnt a whole lot so far. Just a damn shame they still haven't learnt yet to make sense of the march of history,
Hollywood usa more than likely named after Hollywood in Ireland, after all meny places in the states are named after uk. Bolton Birmingham manchester even pittsburgh is named after a British priminister william Pitt.
You have to do some research on The Giants causeway folk lore.
You can walk in most castles for an exchange of a few pound coins. (Somewhere usually around £12pp) This money is used towards the upkeep of the ruins.
'Upkeep of the ruins' 😁
Places like Hollywood in Ireland are the original place names...the ones in USA are the copies.
This one is HOLYwood in NI, but there is a Hollywood in Eire.
@@RoyCousinsaccording to Google, there is a Hollywood near Naas?
Don't say Londonderry. It's just Derry.
It's been British for 400 years, and they can name it as they choose. If and when the Irish get it back you can call it whatever you wish. Being as it's still British, we call it Londonderry, but so not to aggravate the situation we are happy enough for you to call it Derry....pathetic, isn't it!
@@reggriffiths5769 The word "Derry" means copse if trees in the Irish language and predates the British taking it over
@@annedunne4526 It makes no difference what Derry means; if the Brits want to call it Valhalla or Shit Hill, it's their prerogative. As I said, when you get it back you can call it what you want, and the Britis won't tell you what name to give it. It's time you people climbed off your inane hatred that's gone on for far too long. What's past is past, so let it rest.
Many of the people of that city call it Londonderry, but I think most of them call it Derry. I'm quite happy to accept that the city has two names and I don't get involved in the politics or sectarianism. It is of interest that the Church of Ireland (protestant) has a Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. Derry, not Londonderry.
@@simongleaden2864 You may or may not be right in what YOU THINK, and it's good that YOU'RE HAPPY. I suspect that the majority of people in the Republic of Ireland would prefer to retain the older name, but for 400 years it's been a British city, and being a British city they can call it what they wish - as I referenced in my earlier posting above..
The Church of Ireland can use any title they wish as they are not subject to any political rulings. You will find the Church of England in other countries, including Wales, where they prefer to call themselves The (Anglican) Church in Wales apart from England, and the same applies to the CoI. The Catholic Church (OKA the Church of Rome) is everywhere, so the point you are trying to make is a rather spurious one.
You say that you don't get involved in the politics or sectarianism - but you just did, and with an element of bias!
Cozzwolds.

Hi
Maybe you would be interested to know that there is a town of

To answer your question, it's the location affected by geography and natural effects of climate applied over time equalling natural beauty, in other words the result of nature saying don't F*** with me.
Yes ....a real non abusive comment only ruined by your inability to find a really good word to express yourself
Recreation that’s a real ship
Four sheep don’t constitute wildlife lol 😅
How is he so cute??
Seriously?
creepy.
I'm beginning to second guess Tyler now. Is he pretending he doesn't know the Titanic was built in Belfast so lots of people comment on it to better his algorithm. Like the way he pronounces Edinburgh and anything ...Shire wrong, no matter how many times he has heard the correct pronunciation in the video he is reacting to cos he knows people will correct him in the comments.
He lives in your head rent free ...
Nah it's their education system they only teach patriotism and capitalism, they don't know anything of realism.
Unlike us outside of the states, we learn many aspects of life very quickly, and just like you spot how the algorithms are being used to personalise gain, if you notice he never replies to the comments we leave.
We outside the states have a higher intellect and can do our own research, usually with a higher degree of accuracy and honesty, definitely with a higher degree of integrity.
Can't blame Tyler though, the extent his ability to retain knowledge has been seriously impaired by the USA's teaching methods, remember garbage in garbage out, say no more.
No. He's American. Trust me, they really don't know this stuff.
Depending where you are in the UK/Ire to make it politically correct, we say Derry/Londonderry.
Titanic sunk so that the US FED could rise.
1353rd
Tyler asks questions so that the viewers respond in the comments. He does this because CZcams prioritizes channels with more "engagement." He doesn't actually read any of the comments though. So if you are going to respond and help him make more money, at least make fun of this dummy.
Maybe he does just read them and then laughs at us all fighting amongst ourselves.😀😃😄😆😅🤣😉
Jameson is better
I was waiting for Tyler to say his usual "We don't have this in America."
Alas, re the Giant's Causeway he chose a less specific dumb comment. Basalt columns are pretty common all over the world. The US has 26 major sites that feature them including some very famous Nationally protected areas.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_places_with_columnar_jointed_volcanics
3:06 I was waiting to see if the video would explain how the rock formation of the giants causeway was formed, but they seem to just say “ancient volcanoes” and expect people to magically understand it!
Lava flowed out onto a large area and then started to cool (they are made of basalt, a typical volcanic rock). Then as the lava “lake” cooled, it solidified, and then as it continued to cool, the rocks shrank and eventually fractured into these very even regular hexagonal columns. It only happens because the lava had to be extremely even temperature and consistent type of rock (the lava has to be ‘well mixed’) and it’s thought rapid cooling by water might make it more likely to form. That said, you can see the same kind of hexagonal columns formed by vulcanism around the world in various places. Another spot in the U.K. is Fingle’s cave on an island just off the west coast of Scotland. They can also be seen in Iceland and in America at Devil’s Postpile monument in California, and with a slightly different type of rock at Devil’s Tower, in Wyoming.
Oh, and similar formations have also been found on Mars - so the extra terrestrial angle was funny.
I know he’s apparently a twin, but I think he’s really a clone and we get to see a new clone react to each video…that’s the only explanation for how the same things keep being so amazing ;)
😅😅😅 Either that, or an "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" type situation.
@@nolajoy7759 lol - yeah, could be!
