  • Join me in the charming, historic, creative and very picturesque canal and riverside town of Bradford On Avon in the South West England county of Wiltshire on my first visit and explore its delights with me.
    I visit many of the beautiful attractions and also spot a few things that makes the town stand out for me .
    I mentioned in the video that I would put a link here to the website where you can book boat trips on the canal, so here it is: www.bradfordonavon.co.uk/expl...
    Ways to support the channel if you enjoy the videos:
    Like, share and subscribe to the channel.
    You can also support the running costs of the channel by 'buying me a coffee'. I will use the money to put towards the fuel, fares, parking etc involved in doing these videos.

    I had no idea there are so many Avon Rivers!!! It's no wonder I keep seeing them everywhere!
    Yes, that tithe barn is enormous! I couldn't believe it

    Lovely walk, Louise. We've been there a few times over the years. I must admit that I've never been up to that viewing point, but the effort of climbing that hill looked well worthwhile. It's well worth fallowing the canal to the aqueduct and pub. Easier walking too! Thanks for that one. Stay safe and see you soon.

      It may be a controversial thing to say but I'm really not a fan of regency spa towns such as Cheltenham and Bath with their uniform period style, much preferring places with varying styles of buildings such as Bradford

    What a beautiful place, so much to see & do, such interesting churches & stunning views from over the town. I am glad you saved your snacking for the cream tea, as you say not cheap, but it looked darned good & there were 2 scones, so it was more of a meal. Thanks Louise.

      Thank you Faith! Yes, it was so interesting there. Before doing the channel I did not pay much attention to places I visited, but now I research so much and it gives me a far better experience d as bs enjoyment of visiting places. Yes, the cream tea was like a meal 😂
      It was an ‘experience’ too, like being transported back in time.
      Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤗

    Hi Louise! It was lovely touring with you. Loved the stopping for tea - it really looked elegant and would be a must-do especially on such a sunny day. Loved the explanation of Avon and all the other avons around the country and beyond. 😊

    What a lovely start to my Sunday. Fantastic editing again Louise with very fitting music. What a quintessentially British beautiful town and I loved the houseboat with garden and logs etc on the roof. Thanks so much for this. I’ll have to investigate if this is easy to get to from my Mums!

      Aaaaah you're killing me! I vlogged a trip to BOA last month but it will be ages before I get it edited and published. I'm a compulsive perfectionist and we are trying to go back and drone there before doing the edit! 🙄

      Ah! I hope you manage to get tte drone up soon! It will be stunning!! I really look forward to your take on it! I am a bit of an editing perfectionist too! I am constantly learning and improving but then each edit takes longer and longer as I realise how much there is that can be done! 🤣 When i first started editing (on my phone then) it was as quick as joining a few clips together and adding a sound track!

      Great video Louise. It's a very pretty town and you showed me places and views I had not seen before. Great music. We enjoyed our walk along the canal to Avoncliff when we visited. Some of your clips at the beginning were too short for me. I need time to look at each new clip.😉.

    Hi Louise, yes, that Saxon Church is so calming isn't it. I didn't know it was a former school. I loved the choir piece of music that you used. That was a super cool bit of editing entering the church! It really is a terrific town isn't it? I was rather taken with it on my visit too. This was a super video, packed with brilliant facts, and rounded off with great cream tea! I loved your recollections of holidays on narrowboats too. Lovely music during the cream tea sequence too! The cat was CZcams shy! Great and charming work again. Paul.

      Thank you Paul! The Saxon church is just so beautifu because of its simplicity and sense of peace, I was pleased to find that choir piece . It was actually the intro to a much more upbeat and loud track from Epidemic Sound, but it worked really well here! Haha! That door transition!! I am so glad that I spent rather too much time getting the door to open in the right place. Lots of trial and error, but so happy with the result 🤣. I really loved the town and it’s waterways so much!

    It looks like such a relaxing and picturesque place to visit especially with all the good weather you had.
    Oh wow, the tea rooms looked so quaint and the cream tea itself looked delicious and the views at the end!

      Thank you Jesse! Yep … almost flooded a village!
      I remember clearly being told off by a village resident and being distraught about it! Otherwise I loved doing the locks!
      Such a relaxing place and so easy to get to from Bristol or Bath.
      Yes, that cream tea was a real treat and an ‘experience’ full of character.
      The views at the end were so worth the little climb and I was hoping for a cat to star in a video soon and I even got that! Can’t wait to return there sone time.
