  • Join me for a walk through the centre of Giggleswick, an unusually-named but wonderfully picturesque village located in the foothills of the great Yorkshire Dales. Home to a more than 500 year-old school, an ancient parish church and much more, Giggleswick is a delight to explore!
    On our walk around Giggleswick, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Giggleswick School Chapel, Giggleswick School, Tems Beck, Giggleswick Primary School, St. Alkelda's Church, The Black Horse pub, Giggleswick Market Cross, Bankwell House, Queens Rock House, Queen's Rock and the River Ribble.
    Thank you so much to the following sites which really helped me in my research of Giggleswick:

      It really is! And a delight to walk around even beyond the village centre around the Dales as I'm sure you know! But Giggleswick has a certain character to it that can't be missed either :)

      Ha ha there are quite a few odd place names around the country - sometimes they do have a funny origin, but often it's like Giggleswick - just a weird coincidence over hundreds of years of historical evolution!

Thank you for your great efforts for putting extra input in your tour. Your channel reminded me of my ultimate favourite walking tour channel @prowalktours. You have similar yet different style and approach. Keep up the good works. I will definitely watch all your current and future videos. Wish you best of luck and more success to your channel. 👍👍

      I have indeed thought of visiting Hawes many times - and whenever I go to the Dales to do some filming I always aim to make a trip up there. Only issue is I don't actually have a car - and public transport to Hawes is a bit of a challenge when on a tight schedule - but I'm definitely going to come some day, it sounds like such a lovely place!

    The village was were the late Russell Harty was a teacher before moving in to Television presenting. You walked straight past his former which appeared in some of his shows especially at Christmas.It was later used in a tv drama after his death. He is buried in the church yard at the rear of the church.I visited thirty years ago and signed the visitors book....only a day after his tv producer had left a charming comment.

    I understand that the analysis of the DNA of persons who live in Iceland today demonstrate that the female input must have come from Celtic women of the UK mainland, perhaps slaves purchased or captured in raids. Perhaps the local female saint's martyrdom had something to do with the Christian conversion of Iceland's Vikings.

    • @LetsWalkUK
      @LetsWalkUK  Před 2 lety +1

      Fascinating to learn! It seems that there certainly is a close connection there indeed - I once heard that the incidence of red hair in Iceland is comparable to the likes of Scotland and Wales, so certainly there are genetic links :)
