Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 6am in the morning, today we are walking around Bradford on Avon. Bradford on Avon is a town in the west of Wiltshire, in south-west of England. It is quiet now. It can get busy later in the day and is popular with tourists. Bradford on Avon is just over 100 miles drive from central London and can be a two to three hour train journey from Waterloo Station, London. Today we started our walk along the Kennet & Avon canal now we are walking around the old Grade 1 listed Tithe Barn. The barn was built around the 1330s and is one of the largest of its kind. Taxes in the form of goods would have been taken from the towns people and stored in the barn. Originally the barn was owned by Shaftesbury Abbey in 1539 the abbey was dissolved and it became a farm. In the 1970s the barns were purchased by Wiltshire Council. The barn is usually open everyday from 10:30am to 4pm and is free to the public. Check times on the English Heritage website if you plan to visit and would like to go inside. As we carry on we walk over the River Avon that runs through the middle of Bradford on Avon. In the 17th and 18th century the river used to power wool mills, and Bradford on Avon prospered. Later the English woollen industry moved north to Yorkshire and the last mill here closed in 1905. Today the old mills have been converted into shops, restaurants or housing and the river, like the canal, is mainly used for leisure. During the day the you may see rowers or paddle boarders up-and-down the river. We eventually leave the river and head into the centre of town, where we meet the road. The main road through Bradford on Avon can get quite busy, a well used route between the town of Trowbridge and city of Bath. First though we wander down some alley-ways and side-streets coming out at the Holy Trinity Church, built around 1150. When we meet the river again look out for the larger old mill buildings along the side of the river. Bradford on Avon has so many interesting old historic buildings you could spend all day soaking up the history. Movies and TV shows that have been filmed here include: Robin of Sherwood (1984), Creation (2009), Wolf Hall (2015), The White Princess (2017), Amazon Prime’s The Spanish Princess (2019) and Netflix’s Cursed (2020). At the end of our walk we can see the Grade 1 listed Town Bridge. The bridge was originally a narrower packhorse bridge and widened in the 17th century. In 1643 during the English Civil War, Royalists seized control of the bridge on their way to battle. There is a small building on the bridge, originally a chapel, later used as a town lockup (prison cell). Thank you for joining me on this early morning walk and finding out a little bit more about the town. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. If you have never been to Bradford on Avon I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. If you have then I hope you enjoyed reminiscing as we walked around. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.
I love watching your early morning English countryside walks when I wake up here in Australia. The time of day you walk makes it so relaxing and it is not busy and the light looks beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you Eloise, that is really appreciated, I hope that it helps with a calm start to the day.
The English countryside is so peaceful. I feel like I’m physically there . Thank you.
Thank you Lynette, always pleased that it brings some peace.
Your walks are soothing for all of our lives. It makes my life beautiful when I watch them.
Thank you, that is such a lovely comment 😊
I love the train coming over that bridge in 08:44. I think that draws me to your videos and the British landscape in general is how technological advancement (especially automobile infrastructure like highways) doesn't mean the wholesale demolition of old places. In the US, so many historic places were completely ruined by transportation projects whose focus was to move cars quickly through regions. (There's hardly any American city that didn't get a highway laid right down the middle of it, demolishing old neighborhoods in the process.) We were - and still are, really - so quick to embrace technological advancement, and I think it's really cost us a lot of our heritage.
We are lucky in the UK that a lot of our history has been preserved. There are still times though new when roads or train lines are protested against due to how they may effect the local area, but nothing compared to what it sounds like has happened in the US. Thanks Joseph for your insightful comments and observations, it is interesting and appreciated. Adam
Your walks are stunning and so relaxing!! The birds singing and the morning light - I can feel my blood pressing dropping - so relaxing !!
Thank you Colin. It is always lovely to hear how relaxing these walks can be.
Watching your video is like I was there myself,respect
Thank you, I’ve just subscribed to your channel, I’ll enjoy watching it. Respect back
Thanks for posting. You have taken me to parts of Bradford on Avon that I have not seen before and lived in that area for 20 years. It is also an up to date film. Thanks again.
You are more than welcome Malcom. I'd never walked in that way before over the train track and was much more pleasant than going along the busy road or down the side of the swimming pool along the river.
I've treadmill to many Bradford on Avon videos. Yours is particularly special. The early morning hour allows me to savor the beauty of the town, without all the bustle. Your use of side streets was also different. I may have discovered your channel "late", but take pleasure in the joy that your walks are still bringing pleasure. Thank you
I love the early morning birdsong and pretty skies, as well as the quaint English places. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it, you are more than welcome. The birds do love calling out in the early morning.
Really with all this views and sounds i can * reach * the smell and feel the breeze...
Thank you Sam. It was quite a still calm morning with just a hint of a cool breeze in the air
We love Bradford on Avon. Wiltshire and Somerset area is beautiful well the whole south west is .lots of little jems
It doesn't, I feel very lucky to be in SW England. Thank you for watching
So lovely, and you let the vista speak for itself. One of life's gentlefolk. Thank you for not yapping incessantly and the birdsong adds to it and the quiet. Thank you.
What a beautiful place. When I think of the filmed walks on various television channels where we are ‘treated’ to the thoughts and constant images of the (presumably highly paid presenter) flying along, and compare those to this channel - well what can you say, there is no comparison. Everywhere is imagined shows how it should be done. Thank you very much, your efforts are appreciated.
Thank you Anthony, that is really appreciated. There is something to be said about keeping things simple. I hope you are having a good day.
So pleasant and beautiful.. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
One of our favorite places to visit! Lunch at Bridges Tea Room, a stroll thru town and a visit to Moxhams Antique Store. An amazing little village! ❤️❤️
How lovely Ken, thank you for commenting and sharing, it is so nice to wander around 😊
so beautiful and natural beauty, thanks for sharing such nice video, keep up
Thank you I really appreciate the positive comment and helps with motivation
@@everywhereisimagined you always welcome, and co-operate to each other. Again thanks
I'm really glad I found this channel. Too good!
That is lovely to hear, thank you 😊
Your videos help me overcome my anxiety. Also, perfect for visualization ❤️
Thank you 💚💚💚👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂
You're always welcome Anthony. I hope your week is going well 😊
@@everywhereisimagined ❤️🙏😇👍💪
The sky is just magical when you get to the church.
I’ve been so lucky with the sunrises
I very much like the format of the videos, it gives you a chance to ponder on the beauty of the scenery... Wonderful job! Thanks for sharing your talent:)
Thank you very much that is a very nice comment and it is appreciated 😊
Hi!! Thank you for sharing these beatiful places that your charming country has!!!greetings from the other side of the world!!!
Hello 👋🇬🇧 from this side of the world. Glad you enjoyed the walk 😊
Greetings from Egypt
I love your channel very much، and i enjoy the beautiful scenes from pretty UK
Keep uploading buddy
Thank you! You are more than welcome. Glad you enjoy it
Dear Adam, it is such a joy to walk with you through all these beautiful villages, towns & places. I immensely enjoy it 🙏🏽
If you feel like it, I would love it if you could, one day, walk around Turleigh.
It is where my family used to live and brings up fond memories. Wishing you well from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hi Michael, I've added it to the list. I don't think I have ever been through the village but it isn't too far away from me and quite close to the Avoncliff Aqueduct, which may be nice to visit also. So nice to hear you are enjoy the walks. Stay safe and take care 🇬🇧😊
Oh that’s the canal on the bottom of the hill I lived in Conkwell in a cottage opposite a crazy woman who slashed our car tyres and hid my shoes among many other crazy things.. played her radio at full blast outside our shared courtyard.. we loved Bradford on Avon but we had to move away from the crazy lady in the end..
Time stands still there, in these small English towns . You can easily imagine yourself in 16th Or 17th century if you overlook the modern vehicles . In every corner of the streets you would expect to meet one of the characters of Jane Austen or may be Dickens . A horse rider from Elizabethan era ? Nice to watch , thank you .
Thank you for watching and the nice comment, I'm visualising all those things now
Hands down one of the best videos I have ever seen! The closed captions make it informative. Love from India.
Thank you, very kind. 🇬🇧👋😊
Как хорошо, что мы гуляем в тишине без коментариев, слушаем пенье птиц, шуршание шагов это так успокаивает, умиротворяет спасибо за наслаждение😇😇😇😇🥰
Это мое удовольствие. Иногда приятно замедлить темп и оценить простые вещи в жизни 😊☺️
Some very narrow sidewalks. Made me nervous. Beautiful walk.
Narrow pavements 😉 are best trod early in the morning when nobody is around. Always nice to have you along for the walk.
Очень люблю смотреть ваши прогулки. Особенно перед сном, это так успокаивает и расслабляет)) Всё так удивительно: и дома, и маленькие улицы, и парки.. Прям как в Алисе стране чудес! Вот-вот появится чеширский кот)) с наилучшим пожеланиями из России, Siberia, Baikal🌊
Спасибо за прекрасный комментарий. Не верится, что вы смотрите эти прогулки с Байкала! Там, где я работаю, мы держим байкальского чирка, и я сделал для них вывески, чтобы посетители могли их прочитать. Я часто задавался вопросом, каково было бы жить там. С добрыми пожеланиями и большой благодарностью, Адам
A tour without traveling. Thank you so much!
My pleasure! I'm glad you could join in 😊
Спасибо Вам за прогулки по красивым и атмосферным местам
Добро пожаловать

Thank you, you are too kind. It is really appreciated 😊😊
Such a beautiful place. I was able to go to England once and always hoped to go back. I have heritage there "somewhere"...Newman, Kitchen, Asquith, Murray and more. I watch your videos while I do my indoor walking and exercise. Thank you for the captions with information!
You are more than welcome and lovely to read that you can walk along while doing your exercises. Glad you also like the facts too.
I like every step of this path, I'd give 1k likes but only 1 in my options. Wiltshire is an amazing country with a lot of beautiful places and I can't wait to be back there again.
Bless you, thank you. Any like is always appreciated 🙏. I hope you get back to travelling soon.
Thank you Adam for another beautiful walk, I am absolutely in love with the UK.
On a narrowboat holiday in 2007 we traveled the Avon ring but unfortunately missed this town.
A big thumbs up from Cape Town South Africa.
Thanks Mark, really pleased you enjoyed it and you got to see a bit of Bradford on Avon that you sadly missed. There is so much lovely countryside around the Avon though, so I am sure you must have had a great holiday.
Yes it was, the best holiday ever!
We love Bradford on Avon, thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much for this one, which I think is one of your very best.Golden light on golden stone…..
You're very welcome and that is so nice to know. I hope to keep improving.
Thank you for sharing all your lovely walks. It certainly is relaxing to catch your walks and it feels like I'm there doing the exploration. The vibes from all the lovely countryside walks are so refreshing and energizing! Miss visiting UK and its gorgeous countryside sceneries and Cotswold Villages. I've been to Bourton-on-the-water and Stratford-upon-Avon and really love the beautiful sceneries and awesome English scones in Stratford!
Thank you that is a lovely comment and greatly appreciated. I feel very lucky to live where I do being surrounded by so much countryside and rural places to explore. I’d really like to Bourton and Stratford this year. Some new walks hopefully coming soon.
Thanks indeed. Your videos are so beautiful and give us the opportunity to see places that probably won't see in our life. Keep going on.
So nice of you Danillo, I'll keep do my best and thanks again, the nice comments are appreciated
Miss all and all..

Thank you for another beautiful video and for including the informative subtitles. Quick question though; did you walk past the Anglo-Saxon church in this video? Years ago, I remember visiting Bradford on Avon just to see Saint Lawrence, but I cannot remember where it was located in the town.
Lovely!!!❣️ Thank you!!!
absolutely beautiful
Thank you, appreciated 🙏

Thanks a lot...your chanel is wonderfull
I really enjoyed this walk through this beautiful historic town hedges was well shaped like in a story novel...Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you for walking along and the lovely comment 😊
Thank you. We have visited B on A and walked along the canal to Avoncliffe. I remember the Tythe barn and Park. I had to work out on Street View where you walked from at the top of the hill, through the quiet lanes and past the Church. I don't think you showed us the name of the church. Very pretty houses, buildings and river. We also went to that location where you ended your walk. I had to mute the TV once you hit the noisy traffic. 😒 . I imagined horses and carriages and clippetty clops but then how did the horses get up all those hills?!
Video starts at 0:40
Since you are asking for suggestions, what about Stratford upon Avon? Is it very far?
Yes! I've been thinking about there recently, it is just under a two hour drive, I would really like to go.
