All support is hugely appreciated and it helps me keep the channel going!
No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside. A nice gentle walk around the town of Knaresborough. A picturesque town, with one of many features being the railway viaduct that goes over the River Nidd. We start walking along side the river, before walking up into the town, around the old castle grounds, visiting the churches before walking back along the river … A lovely walk. Do enjoy :)

About Dave's Walks
Hi there, I‘m Dave! I've lived in the English Countryside all my life, and I love it! I enjoy walking, and couldn’t help but notice just how beautiful the UK can be away from the cities. I found myself inspired and decided to get some camera equipment and make some walking videos so I can share my walks of the beautiful countryside with everyone!
I will mainly focus on small towns, villages, picturesque landscapes, rolling hills and mountains, forests and canals, all along the coastlines in England, Scotland, Wales, and who knows maybe one day further afar!
I upload every Sunday 11.45am GMT (3.45am PST) (6.45am EST) (5.15pm IST) (9.15pm ACST)

It really does help me so much! Not just coffee but also things like petrol, car maintenance, overnight stays in places, parking tickets, admission and entry fees to places I wouldn’t normally go to, it really does go a long way helping me make content for everyone!

I use the free version of Davinci Resolve 16 to do some really basic editing. Mainly making sure the sky isn't over exposed. It's from Camera straight to CZcams. No cuts, no fancy business, no talking, just walking.

Psssst Hey there...
I have a second CZcams channel. It is a bit different to what I do here. Feel free to check it out.

Your channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I wanted walking without talking. You’ve not only given me that, I get to walk around England-one of my favorite places. Thank you!
Happy to hear it Rebecca!
The most beautiufl woods and brook.
Love watching almost as good as being there
How fab to see the train go over.
Love the chequreboard house.
8:25 that house 😍💜
I visited Knaresborough in 2007. I like the place and I hope to visit it again.
This is like a Beatles song, beautiful... Wow, that Church: 41:25
what a beautiful town.
Your channel has brought me so much relaxation and joy! I look forward to indoor walking with you every night. The beauty of the land there is just breathtaking. You do such a great job of capturing everything on these walks, that it feels like I'm really there! Bless you for doing this!
It is a pleasure to film for everyone!
I love Knaresborough! I'm going to have to do this full wall
Such beautiful little cottages and creepers. Love the Narnia street lamp.
Beautiful walk..i can feel the ambience..tqvm...frm Singapore..👍👍👍
Best channel to see England in detail :) So many beautiful places and video's
Thank you 😊👍
Nice big handy car park. Knaresborough in Bloom would be lovely.
I listen to podcasts and watch your clips whilst looking outside as well, precious! You live on one of my favourite islands which I was lucky enough to call home for 4 years, cheers!
It is a pleasure! Thank you 😊👍
Another great town walk. Beautiful Yorkshire scenery. Quite busy though (a lot of dog walkers) - and what can beat a castle!
That railway viaduct is just incredible.
its a very nice town! on the hill you must have a nice view !! full of colours and traditional !
Such a gem
What amazing views. Must be incredible in the winter time.
another gorgeous walk. (i’m really get jealous now.) thanks for taking us along, dave. :)
It 's amazing how England is full of beautiful places!
It certainly is Marcelo! 😊👍
Thank you, from far away Australia! I managed to discover this marvellous place when I booked a b&b quite by chance, down by the river, what a lovely spot, fondly remembered. Thanks too for showing where those other steps come out opposite the station, missed them last time. Would recommend Knaresborough to anyone visiting Yorkshire from overseas, Harrogate is close by and all the wonders that are York about 45min (?)….. Betty’s tea rooms in both ! 😎
I love Knaresborough and Harrogate (and also the Nidd Gorge walk nearby is beautiful.) The only problem I have with Harrogate is that they seem to hide their bloody Railway Station!
I'd travelled from York to Knaresborough and then walked from there, through Nidd Gorge, then into Harrogate to get the train back, but though when walking through the town, I saw lots of trains passing over viaducts, when it came to catching one, I had to walk through a shopping centre in order to find the station.
In the North of England, Harrogate is often descibed as "Surrey, North Yorkshire!" - The upper middle-class section of Harrogate residents, (and there are a hell of a lot of them living there,) when talking about 'going into town', are referring to London! 🙄
From India the village very nice and houses so nice the roads are very nice and beautiful hills near very nice houses green trees and nice water canals near green grass bridGE on the canal very beautiful village
It's a very good Video.
I am one of your fans.
Beautiful.loved to see the houses with the perfect hedges !!.like its right out of a picture!!
Thank you 😊👍
I would ecnourage everyone to take the climb up the steps from the riverside to the castle grounds. It's an excellent climb with classic views of the River Nidd and the railway viaduct over it from strategic points, though I appreciate it wouldn't be practical, doing it safely, camera in-hand, (especially when you'd need to climb up backwards for the best effect. 😉)
It's a climb my family and I always used to make on each visit to Knaresborough, but the strange thing is that even if everyone in the party counts the steps on the way, and agrees on the total number by the time the top is reached, it's almost certain that the next time you do the climb, you'll come up with a different total! 🤔
Thanks for the long one, appreciate it! 😁
Lovely walk today. 💜
Thank you 😊👍
With your vídeo l could remenber everything when l visited that amazing place. Thank you very much.
My pleasure 😊
Good ☝️
Really enjoyed this one Dave. And what a place to end up after a nice long walk. Loved it.
❤❤❤❤❤
Great video, I love the longer ones! So calming
Thank you 😊👍
Absolutely love the style of your work. It's so artistic and creative as well. and I can't wait what you are gonna come up with in your next videos. Thank you a lot and don't stop creating.
Thank you for great walk Dave, so relaxing. 👌
Thanks 👍
Really love this . Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!😊👍
Another great video and a beautiful place.
Thank you 😊👍
Wonderful 😻🌿💚
Nice video always,my friend. 👍
Thank you 😊👍
That was a good walk as it always is. There was a time when you were going up how many flights of steps? Ten or fifteen and each of them had about ten steps to walk up, I thought when you finally finished walking up them, were you ready to pass out? Woo!!! That was a lot of steps!!!!
With all the walking, I have got more and more healthy over time, I still have my moments of heavy breathing, fortunately the microphone doesn't pick that up 😅
Interesting walk! Haven’t been to Knaresborough for ages! Really enjoyed it!
Thank you 😊👍
Nice walk, Keep it up 😀👍
Thank you 😊👍
Que hermoso lugar!!!💗🦋💗
Omg thats a hill to walk 🚶♀️
Knaresborough Castle's state of disrepair isn't solely down to the ravages of battle. Knaresborough began the English Civil War as a Royalist stronghold, but after eventually falling to the Parliamentarians, to reduce the possibility of it being used against them, should it change hands again, The residents of the town were given permission (and even encouragement) to dismantle large parts of the castle for use as building materials! It would appear that the ravages of greedy builders does more damage that the ravages of both battle and time!
There are lots of great examples of the Trompe-l'œil art technique in Knaresborough, but apart from passing glances of the Lady in the Window at 16:47 and of the Roundhead & the Cavelier at 1:00:49, you seem to have missed them all. There are also examples at 'Blind Jacks' pub in the Market Place, but you seemed to avoid that area entirely, (so we didn't even get to see Blind Jack's statue on the bench.)
At least you managed to avoid the tourist trap that is "Mother Shipton's Cave", and I applaud you for that!
I have to say I have never heard of the Trompe-l'œil art technique, sounds intriguing, sorry to have missed out on the examples. I had no prep time really for this video, I had a passing opportunity to film there, and took it. Ideally much more planning goes into my walks. Sometimes they are just unexpected opportunities I have to take. Glad I avoided the tourist trap though. I am not a fan of those.. 😃👍
@@DavesWalks Trompe-l'œil ('deceive the eye') is the art of making pictures look like real events, and the UK version became popular for the duration of the window tax, (from 1696 to 1851,) when properties were taxed, based on the area of glass in their windows; (though all of the examples in Knaresborough today originated much later as local art events.)
When the window tax was in effect, homes of the rich would still be erected with the same number of windows, for aesthetic balance, but certain windows would be bricked up in existing buildings, and replaced by brick panels in new ones, and elements of Trompe-l'œil would be used to make it seem as though scenes were taking place in those artificial 'windows'.
An excellent 'modern' example in Knaresborough is the 'Roundhead & Cavalier' (opposite 'The Mitre' by the train station,) where the Roundhead appears to be emptying water out of first floor window over the door, while the Cavaliar is sniping at him from the second floor window above.
well I learnt a few things there, thank you! Why did we implement a window tax? I am guessing it wasn't popular so was abolished some 150 years later..
@@DavesWalks I believe it was a form of tax based on wealth, when income tax was frowned upon because that would have meant people had to disclose their income to the government, which at the time was seen as an unacceptable intrusion by government into 'private matters'.
@@DavesWalks Reportedly, it's believed that the phrase 'daylight robbery' originated from the time of the window tax, though I always took that to mean being openly stolen from, as opposed to being burgled when you were asleep in your bed.
👌👍
Your vids are fantastic...couple of things....how about a date stamp in the text? So I will know what to wear. :-) And ...beginning to think that all of England is a museum..
I miss the UK and all it's heritage. They care for their old buildings too, instead of just replacing them with inappropriate new stuff.
time and date is all in the description 😊👍
