- As an American there are so many amazing places around the UK that I have never heard about or seen before. Today I am very excited to learn all about some of the most beautiful places in the United Kingdom. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Wales as a country is so underrated for its scenery. We’re up there with the most beautiful landscapes in the world
YES,Wales is beautiful all over! Actually, the UK is beautiful all over!
Cracks me up when I hear comments like this. How do you determine that it is underrated? Underrated by those that have been? not been? if its the latter then they can't really rate it. And if it's the former, can you direct me to the data that reflects those that do not rate it? I've been many times and rate it and I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that it's a shit hole or that they don't rate it. Sorry to pick on your comment, but it is a ridiculous statement when you think about it.
@@drubber007 😂😂😂
@@drubber007 calm down mate.. also things can be underrated if you haven’t been to the place or haven’t heard of it. I’ve never been to Niagra falls and know it’s stunning, there are thousands, millions of places in the world that are going to be not that known which are amazing, that people don’t talk about. So yes, underrated. People not talking/bringing it up as much as it should be
@@struebz If you haven't heard of something how can it be underrated. Underrated means to have more attraction or importance than what people recognise. Not whether they have heard of it or been to a place. I would say Snowdonia for example is very popular. It attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year. Wales like the rest of the UK is steeped in history. People travel from all over the world visit every year.
An American colleague of my husbands came and stayed with us we took him for the weekend to The Lake District, he was blown away, he had only seen London, and just didn't realise what he was missing, since then he brought his family for three weeks holiday and travelled round, he really fell for the UK, he's now thinking of relocating to Chester. He said for health, safety and the slower pace of life.
Love Chester, it has everything(even a massive zoo), used to go quite often. 2nd place Northumberland, beaches, island, castles you name it. But it was my mother's birth place so maybe I am bias. Did however travel all round England,and Wales also visited Scotland and Ireland, lucky me.
Chester is a beautiful city!
Going to the pre-Derby meeting at Chester races in May is one of the things on my bucket list that I still want to tick off. Although I intend paying in order to gain access to the course itself, apparently:
The east of the racecourse directly verges onto Chester's ancient city walls which were once used to moor Roman trading vessels, before the course of the river changed. Spectators can watch races for free from the walls which offer a clear view of the whole circuit.
We are very blessed in the UK I think..for such a small country we have a little bit of everything, mountains, Highlands, lowlands, marshes, lakes, rivers, beautiful beaches and coastal areas, villages and towns and ancient cities.
Except the current Government have ensured quite a bit of it is now threatened by excessive sewage in the waterways and sea - Cornwall is really suffering. Plus our wildlife has been completely decimated. 😂😂
@@planetwatch0000 YES, as countryman and hunter, nothing concerns me more, than the health of our islands!
Absolutely. If you can look past the politics and about 80% of the weather it's a beautiful place to live.
The Isle of Skye is absolutely stunning honestly. You can absolutely see why people used to think certain mythical creatures were real. It's right there in the landscape. Totally surreal.
Also the Isles of Lewis and Harris with the beautiful turquoise waters and sandy beaches 🥰🏴
I long to go there. It's my dream destination.
Glen Coe hits the ball out the park 🏴
The beauty of the UK is that the geology changes every 50 to 100 miles.
I can't think of any region that doesn't have beautiful scenery.
Indeed, in an hour's travel we can move from sandy beaches through green rolling hills to craggy mountains and deep valleys. I grew up in Southport but was a member of the Fell Walking Club and ventured most weekends to the challenges of the Lakeland fells (when I was considerably younger and fitter--although, even then, I was never tempted by the Group A walkers who seemed to regularly manage 20 miles and half a dozen peaks before returning to the coach).
@MrPaulMorris Southport brother ❤ still living the dream. Coffee shops and jewellery baby
A deep dive into the south-west and Cornwall would be really rewarding. Rugged coastline, beautiful beaches, fishing villages, palm trees, myths and legends, ghost stories and tales of smuggling. It's a favourite destination for brits when they don't go abroad because of its landscape, climate and vibe which has a more mediterranean feel than the rest of the UK.
Our scenery always underrated especially by people that live here we fo have some awful places too same as any other country mo country is beautifuln100 per cent
Cornwall is gorgeous, but unfortunately me and our missus were priced out of there and had to move up country. 😢
A stunningly beautiful village to visit is Polperro, that place was achingly beautiful and I would love to go there again
The whole of the Uk is stunning in it's natural beauty those of us blessed to be born here sometimes take it for granted how fantastic our island is
i know. shame it’s being ruined day by day. I used to live in a lovely town. now it’s like a foreign land and i hate it. i don’t go to town anymore and i can’t wait to immigrate. what an absolute shiThole.
It isn’t grass on the roofs, it’s Thatch, which is dried reeds woven and stitched as roofs. Lasts for decades
I moved to the UK from the US eleven years ago. I'm amazed by such a small group of countries that have so many sights to explore! (Small compared to the US) My British hubs made it a point to take me places to explore at least twice a year, sans the plague.
My favorite places. (So far)
Northern Wales - (All of it) but especially Snowdonia.
York! - It is such an amazing city with a rich history and ancient architecture.
Iron Bridge. - The Iron Bridge is a cast iron arch bridge that crosses the River Severn in Shropshire, England. Opened in 1781, it was the first major bridge in the world. The village is beautiful!
Many, many amazing historic castles. I make it a point to go to one or two a year.
Ludlow - Wonderful food, beautiful village, and Ludlow castle.
Bath - Roman history and unearthed Roman bathhouses.
Chester. - Chester was founded in 79 AD as a "castrum" or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix during the reign of Emperor Vespasian. There has been a lot unearthed and so much to discover.
My list is long, but my top few are a good start. :)
ETA: We're going to stay on the coast of Cornwall for my birthday in two weeks. Another new experience and everyone tells me it is amazing!
St Agnes in Cornwall is a sight to behold and the cream teas are amazing.
@@merylmel Thanks! We only have one solid plan, The Eden Project. The rest of the 10 days will be all about exploring!
I'll add this to my list.
You can't really go wrong in Cornwall. It's just lovely. If you're plump in the pocket you can fly or get a ferry to the Scilly Isles for the day.
But it's free to walk over to St Michael's Mount when the tide's out or wander the 3 miles of Cornish Riviera beach.
You MUST have a Cornish cream tea though. Bad for the waistline but good for the soul!
@@micheleosullivan4430 Better than the Eden project is the lost gardens of Helligon, and the Falmouth area is the best part of cornwall
@@davevoce Thank you! I wonder how much I can pack in over ten days!? :D
I've written it down. A lot of it depends on the distance between where we're staying and the sights.
It won't be our last visit because we plan on retiring to Cornwall. Three years until retirement! I'm so excited! We can roam to our heart's content when the time comes.
For such a small country the UK has so much to offer from the world famous city of London to lesser known ancient cities of Bath, York, and Edinburgh, to beautiful national parks, castles, beaches and mountains of all the countries..England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland of course… so much going for such a small country.
Ireland 🇮🇪 is not part of the UK.
The UK has some beautiful villages towns and cities even the British are amazed at some of the scenery
North, South, East and West, the UK has beautiful areas everywhere. I live the Cotswolds in a teeny tiny village in a 300 year old cottage and I count my blessings daily. It's like going back in time. Wales, Scotland and Ireland are all amazing.
If you like castles you should look up Northumberland. Alnwick Castle was used for filming of Harry Potter. Bamburgh castle is another amazing attraction. If you watched the Last Kingdom. Uhtrid son of Uhtrid of babenburgh ( Bamburgh, Northumberland). Holy Island has Lindisfarne castle. Also Warkworth castle and Dunstanborough castle.
The seasons affect our landscapes dramatically. There is nothing like woods full of bluebells in spring. Yorkshire has lots of daffodils. Scotland when the purple Heather is in bloom clothing all the hills and mountains. I used to live in Ripon and when you came within 8 miles the countryside started to look like a postcard. Tiny place with a gorgeous Cathedral marina, racecourse and 3 rivers including the gorgeous Ure which flows down to York. We were close to World Heritage site FOUNTAINS ABBEY AND STUDLEY PARK ROYAL Less stunningly beautiful but still dramatic enough to have been a Victorian tourist destination BRIMAM ROCKS, also near Harrogate , York and on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
Rural Northumberland has some of the UK's most unspoilt beautiful and varied landscapes.Including Hadrians Wall and the huge ancient roman influence on the roads and in the towns like Corbridge,Northumberlans near where I live. Even my humble little rural village has a 12th century church and a castle woodlands and river.
C Lavinia love Northumberland I'm.slwsys telling people to visit there maybe my daughter snd family will visit there at long last as thry are moving north soon to yorkshire
Bamburgh Castle , Holy Island and Northumberland beaches. Castles , history and fantastic views.
There is also a waterfall known as High Force in Co Durham
My local city of Durham is canny. The walk along the river next to the cathedral is nice, being local I guess I don't appreciate it like others. Also has the coolest train station entrance straight of a viaduct that lets you see over the top of the city (only coming from the south) very unique.
The study of place names is very important in telling us about our history and culture. You can look up a database of English place names and it will tell you about the linguistic origins of the name, whether it was Anglo-Saxon, viking etc. You can use it to trace where the vikings settled and the Danelaw
So glad you googled North Wales! This is MY part of the world and it really is stunning. I’m very proud of my Welsh heritage. Beautiful scenery, beautiful coastline, beautiful walks. Plus, castles galore! Also, Eryri is the Welsh name for Snowdonia. Also, the football team I support is now owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. More Americans now know about Wales simply because of that fact 😂 Cymru am byth! 🏴
Such a beautiful area of our isles 👍 ❤🏴🏴
Also some of the best castles. Conwy being my personal favourite.
@@hairydave82 yes! Conwy is stunning! The whole coastline around there, Deganwy and round the Orme! *chefs kiss
North Wales is sweet. Camping and more recently as I'm an adult now, glamping, is just phenomenal. You've got such dense forests and vegetation where I've been going recently it's like another world lad
@@hairydave82Yeah we went to Conwy, I wish we'd stayed longer, took my lad crabbing and that. Always a small break though init. I should save for a proper English holiday, fuck the Greeks
We are spoiled here in the UK, so many wonderful places within easy reach. But that person has no idea what they're talking about - southern England has some of my favourite places on earth and I'm well travelled (lived and worked on 4 different continents).
I am very lucky to live in rural Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
Last time we went to Scotland from where we live in the south east we stopped and broke our journey on the way up. Stayed near Loch Ness. Coming back we made one journey which took us around thirteen hours. I am glad you are showing these lovely places and appreciating their beauty. Next weekend we are off to Devon for a few days and will be visiting Monkey world. You should check that out.
If you want to avoid tourists and see beautiful beaches, the Outer Hebrides is where you need to go. And Luskentyre Beach is probably the prettiest of all.
And I know I mention this anytime this sort of video appears.
BTW, the full size of the Scottish Highlands including other counties such as Perthshire is approximately the size of the whole country of Wales, so you do need to be a bit more specific.
Yes it’s huge!! People don’t realise just how massive the highlands are
Beer is a very pretty little town with lovely scenery, nice shops and a cliff walk. It's quite hilly and has a stream running down the side of the footpath. The beach isn't bad. Rye is worth visiting and has the benefit of Great Dixter being near by, which is a beautiful garden created by Christopher Lloyd. Our towns are near the sea because we are a small island that has a LOT of coastline! North Wales is beautiful but so is South Wales with fantastic beaches, Rhossili on the Gower Peninsular, the Pembrokeshire coast and Brecon Beacons. This is a beautiful country. I think the Lake District is my favourite place and can't wait to go back in September. Snowdonia is in Wales and is very well known in the UK. The Yorkshire dales is also very nice but so are the Moors and coast. Northumberland is fantastic and very historical. The west coast of Britain is very hilly but here in the east it gets flatter, as in completely flat with a lot of fenland. This flat area of beautiful villages is also very pretty and the big beautiful skies make up for the lack of elevation. You should look for a you tube about Lavenham in Suffolk. Lock Ness is the lake and Nessy is the monster. it is a beautiful region. I have stayed next to Loch Ness and the water does move strangely, so a monster is easy to believe in. And that castle is pronounced Urk hart. London is ok, but you have to like cities to find it a great place. Personally I'd rather visit a beach, wood, or hill, or lake. The Cotswolds is a large area of lovely villages.
Britain is a gorgeous country. I think we have more diversity of landscapes than almost any other country of our small size. The likes of Wordsworth wrote about their love for our countryside in their famous poems.
And Wordsworth came from the Lake District in the North.
Poor Northumberland never got a mention. We've got beautiful hills, a gorgeous coastline with long sandy beaches that don't even get anywhere near full in the height of summer (as they're so big), castles galore - many of which are right on the coast, any amount of history from Lindisfarne (Holy Island) back in time to the Romans (Hadrian's Wall), the Normans and so much more. If you like wildlife we've got one of the largest colonies of Puffins in the UK and thousands of seals. You can also go dolphin hunting off the coast and occasionally you can spot Orcas.
The American travelogue writer Bill Bryson says the most beautiful place is Northumberland. I interviewed him after the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District were argued about which was the best place - he said "Neither, Northumberland is the best place..." In fact Bamburgh (as in the hit TV show The Last Kingdom has again been voted the best village in Britain...
You should look at Cornwall. It is stunning.
The two main beaches on the sides of the furness peninsula are absolutely stunning at the right time of day. Oh. And if youre ever over in the direction of Lincoln. Visit the cathedral and castle, and make sure to take a peek over the top of the turrets.
Ive just recently come back from ULLSWATER & LAKE WINDERMERE, stunning areas
Cornwall... Just saying! Land of myths and legends, everything from tropical looking beaches for surfing to rugged cliffs, picturesque hamlet/villages to ancient stone circles/standing stones to open moors, but don't go looking for the Beast of Bodmin! 😍
Read the book 'Written in Jest' by a chap called Michael A. Lee. He spent a couple of years applying for improbable, non-existent jobs, such as Harbour Master of Wigan Pier, Stable Boy for the 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse, The Sheriff of Nottingham etc. He also wrote to Bodmin Council applying to be the 'Official Beast of Bodmin Moor'. the council offered him the job, which he accepted. So, if you want to see the Beast of Bodmin Moor, he's a man called Michael and he lives in Huddersfield! TRUE STORY.
If you want an addition, the Cuckmere Valley and Seven Sisters Cliffs are absolutely stunning. On the South Coast in Sussex, near Seaford.
Durdles door, didsbury and every nation trust site are absolutely gorgeous 😍
Tyler I love seeing you pronouncing the names of places. I love how you don't act like you know everything and seem open to learning. If you want to see an awesome beach check out Bournemouth. Also, check out Durdle Door which is cool. The UK is small, so you are never far from water or the coast.
The Mourne Mountains, Fermanagh Lakelands and the Antrim Glens it's coastline are 3 areas of outstanding beauty in Northern Ireland.. Certainly rivals anything on the mainland UK.
Tyler, if you look at the prices of flights to Europe (depending on the time of year and day of the week), you will see that it doesn’t really cost that much. It costs my sister more to fly from Pittsburgh to North Dakota or Washington State than it does for her to fly to Germany. And, with the connections she had to take to get to N.D., the flight to Frankfurt, Germany was shorter (about 8 1/2 hours direct flight). Also, you don’t have to stay at an expensive hotel. There are plenty of B&B’s, campgrounds where you can rent a bungalow or mobile home, etc.
So grab your significant other, book some flights, and do a Vlog of your trip oversees (or even Canada). Ryan said you grew up in PA. If so, you were about a 4- or 5-hour drive from Niagara Falls.
🇬🇧love your enthusiasm Tyler, have subscribed after stumbling across one of your other broadcasts; ended up going down a rabbit hole with you! Don't ever change mate!🇬🇧
The UK is so full of beautiful places that it's hard to single one out, but maybe the coastline around Falmouth on a sunny day
Check out " available light images of the isle of wight" a small island off the south coast of England. Its just 13 miles x 23 miles but has the most amazing scenery, it has everything from countryside to over 70 beaches. Thames River is pronounced tems. If a place name has a mouth in it its generally pronounced muth.
My home ! 💚
I'm from London, and I've travelled on the train trough North Wales, & was amazed at the beauty, and have always wanted to go there since. But I'm almost 70 now, in ill health, and am sad to say I've only been to Bangor, and am unlikely to go anywhere again.
I like going to the Yorkshire dales & wolds & Whitby where Dracula’s Castle is 😮 very scenic.
If you have a few minutes look at the Pennines, a mountain range known as the backbone of England. All four of the nations of the UK have their own stunning areas of natural beauty. If you have a few more minutes look at Rick Steves on here, an American world traveller whose numerous UK videos are fantastic!
agreed. and while the Snake Pass is beautiful in the summer, it's not the place to be in the winter. it goes from being welcoming to 'icy hell' and 'road closed' in just three minutes of light snow and a generous frost 🤣
then again, in the summer, you have to be very aware of sheep. coming back from a wedding, and avoiding the motorway, we took the Snake Pass and every other bend had either a standing sheep, or clusters of three or four sheep lying in the road 'because they could' and they're so hardy that no matter how hard you hit the horn, they're not budging. never argue with sheep. you will lose! always carry a sheep impersonator in your party. you'll need 'em 👍
Oh Tyler, You really have to visit. It's lovely and fills your soul.
Aw this made me fall in love with my country again. We really are fortunate. I live in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Its built on 7 hills.
The Roman baths in Bath are fed from natural Hot Springs.
Northumberland, beautiful mostly empty beaches, fishing villages, castles everywhere, rugged island nature reserves, Hadrian's Wall, moorland and hills. And not as crowded as most places.
I live on the edge of the Cotswolds and it is a very beautiful area with small villages& market towns
The Britannia Royal Naval College is in Dartmouth. Its is the UK version of the USN's Annapolis Naval College. There is a US Ivy League college, called Dartmouth. That could be what was ringing a bell for you.
When you joked about visiting the Highlands and never returning, all I could think about was the Ninth Legion of Rome.
The north may have more dramatic countryside, but Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset are also beautiful.
Wherever you live in the uk there is always a coastal resort not too far away.most are about an hour away at the most.
Pembrokesher is how it is pronounced, in the US you have New Hampshire. Shire is pronounced Sher, the monarch’s representative in a shire was called a Reave, this morphed into Sheriff hence the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Robin Hood story.
Lovely video, thanks Tyler. Have a little look at the Isles of Scilly. A group of tiny islands about 28 miles off the south west coast of Cornwall, in the Atlantic Ocean. Next stop USA!
I have had so many holidays there and they are so beautiful and peaceful.
I’d recommend Hannah Rickets and she does a tour of Cotswold villages along with lots of London based things. 😊
The only problem with the highlands in the summer is the midges as a child I swam in Lockness I can tell you it was freezing but even as a child you appreciate the view
lockness.....ffs
@@aa-xg3ct however you spell it or say it it’s beautiful
The breakdown of the name Cotswolds is Cots which means a sheep enclosure and Wolds which are gentle hills so basically it's gentle hills with sheep around.
Snowdonia is such a beautiful place! You really do feel like you’ve gone back in time when you spend a day there! It homes the tallest mountain in wales which is cunningly called Snowdon 😂 but for anyone wanting to climb it, don’t get caught out because even on the warmest summer days it’s still very cold up on the summit!
I've been up Snowdon during a temperature inversion which is quite strange as the temperature is reversed so it gets warmer as you climb.
St Ives and Dartmoor are very nice places too
The north east of England has many places with the Outstanding Natural Beauty, one of which is Weardale. It is beautiful. There are other places like the Lake District. We have beaches, castles marinas. We are often ignored but the landscapes are brilliant.
Caroline why do people from this country always think ots better abroad and also that it never rains abroad.
and sometimes we like it that its not well known outside of the UK.. dont want these "foreigners" ruining it (joke) Sort of our little secrets
I live in Hamsterley and think Teesdale is stunning..👍
The village of Staithes on coast of North Yorkshire is fantastic, an old smugglers village built on the cliffs overlooking the sea.
Bath is there because at least for two thousand years people have flocked to the natural hot spring. The Roman Baths have authentically survived up to about 5 feet high above water, and the rest of what you see is a reconstruction from about 1900. Unfortunately they can't let you swim in the water, because there are pathogens.
But the City has built a beautiful modern Spa using the water. It's supposed to be good but expensive. Also in the City is a great amount of Georgian architecture, and a massive Gothic Cathedral called Bath Abbey.
Pembrokeshire is well known for its beautiful and nearly unspoiled coast. The bay you saw is only one of many.
There is just so much, and our laws means you can walk around most of it without trespassing. The only problem with the mountainous regions is the weather! In those areas it really can rain, so you should develop strategies to visit nearby areas when it's pouring.
I love our caves as well. Some of them are absolutely stunning
I learnt to swim in the Roman Baths and the water was lovely as it sits on a hot spring
As a small island we are blessed with stunning and varied scenery and many many different beaches.Rock formations in the north due to the ice age glaciers carving them out.
Village names near me:
Stanford Dingley
Tutts Clump
Cold Ash
Chaddleworth
Leckhampstead
Egypt
Bucklebury (if you know Lord of the Rings you will have heard of Bucklebury Ferry) there is a Ford in the river but alas no ferry in real life.
Leave ham in Suffolk, on a summer’s evening is breathtaking.
Just spent a long weekend camping in North Wales - Beautiful!
Tyler... you have to visit the UK one day. You'd love it. It's a destination just made for you on many levels.
I always think Northern Wales gives me lord of the rings vibe haha
When a place ends in Mouth, like Exmouth, Dartmouth, it is pronounced Muth. Urquhart is pronounce Uck-art.
There used to be an open air pool in Bath which was part of the Roman Baths. However it closed due to people falling ill. The water is warm.
The Cotswolds are beautiful, village upon village with buildings built from honey coloured stone.
Glamorgan is pronounced Glam-organ.
Most of our beaches are deserted apart from in tourist spots. Being an Island the UK has a vast coastline.
One of my favourite places is Aysgarth Falls in North Yorkshire, also Bolton Abbey. There is a little place my father took us to it is called Deer Stones, relatively unknown but perfect for a picnic by a stream on a sunny day.
Everywhere in the UK looks like it would be great to visit which is why it's had to give recommendations, living here it's so easy to forget how lucky we are .
The flatest part of the uk is East Anglia. It is a major farming area because of its geography. Dotted with lovely small towns and villages. Windmills around "the Wash", the Sandy beaches around the coast and great boating on the Norfolk Broads.
It also has it's share of Castles, Country Mansions and Medieval and Tudor buildings.
A number of the place names will be familiar to residents of New England in the USA. As many of the "Pilgrim Fathers" and early settlers came from this region and named their new places accordingly 😉
Wales have several beautiful beaches, my fave in Gower is Port- eyenon, also in port meirion all stunning. Maybe look at our history too. 🏴 When you were talking about Wales & mentioned lords of the rings, the Elvish language is based on the Welsh language. 🏴
Can vouch for Dartmouth. You can take a steam train from Paignton down to Kingswear (stopping off at Agatha Christie's house, if you like), get a ferry across the Dart to Dartmouth, then get an old paddle-steamer river cruise up and down the lower stretches of the river. You can also eat and drink in the same tavern that Sir Walter Raleigh frequented (The Seven Stars), and get some of the booziest rum & raisin ice-cream you'll ever have in your life.
Haven't been to Beer, but my wife and I once visited Branscombe, which is nearby, and that's also very nice.
Hi Tyler .. 🖐 I'm from Devon .. and it is one of the most amazing places to live..
We get all the tourists in the summertime .. they all flock down here from all over Britain .. I guess everyone loves the countryside and our beaches ⛱️ 😉
Many people criticise the UK / England as raining a lot, but it’s not as much as they say …but they forget that because of all the rain the UK is so green….rolling hills, mountains, valleys and gorgeous villages
Why are all these places named after things?
Often because they were literally centres for those things, usually pre-industrial revolution/mass transport. Sometimes it's because they are based on words that are from other languages over the millennia rather than being named recently (recent being in the last 3-500 hundred years in language and place terms here). Other times its that the things are named after the place (e.g. cheddar cheese) but are now so ubiquitous that people have forgotten which way round it is.
I live 15 minutes from the centre of Bath with the cotswolds up the road. It's a very beautiful part of the world. I feel blessed to live here. The amount of beauty and history within this area is astounding. I can see Wales up to the brecon beacons on some days whilst out and about. By the way you can bathe in the cross bath, just not in the main baths due to some heavy metals in the water x0x
it's great to hear an American pronounce Edinburgh properly.
Even at my age (54) I still find beautiful places to see here in UK too many to mention. How you pronounce the places are so funny😂 ie Dartmowth?! 🙈 Bless is pronounced Dartmoth 🤗 understandable but always funny as in Thames is temes also 😂 love your reactions such a lovely guy!
It was good listening to your excitement describing parts of the UK. Although you never came South to Bristol Somerset (Glastonbury) Devon and the Drastic Coast line then onto Cornwall simple Nature at its best. Hope you fellow viewers in the USA enjoyed the education. Thanks .
the UK itself was highlands around 4000 years ago, I suggest researching dodder land, for even more information on how we used to be connected to Europe through a huge area of low land.
The isles of Scilly are the nicest looking place in my opinion. White sand beaches, turquoise water and massive palm trees planted in the 18 hundreds.
Scotland Walks: Dunkeld - Gateway to the Highlands (treadmill / exploring / relaxing)
My favourite park bench @ 8:05 in the grounds of the Dunkeld Catherdral.
Snowdonia is home to Wales' tallest mountain: Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh)
1/2 of my Family, are from South Wales, around the Brecon / Talgarth area, and right there, you have the Brecon Beacons, fantastic views etc. Closer to home (I'm next door to East Midlands Airport), saw Derbyshire Peak District mentioned, which is massive, well known for it's views, walks, country houses (Chatsworth House especially, also got Thornbridge Hall), and motorbikes on the A57 Snake Pass route (You need some pretty good riding skills for this route). Peak District, I tend to go around the Lower Peaks area of Matlock Bath (Most bikers meet here first), or High Peak at Edale, the start of the massive Pennine Way path, Although I tend to go more for the much shorter Kinder Scout walk. Most of this in the Derbyshire Peaks, is accessible via public transport too (Bus / rail), and with a single all day Derbyshire Wayfairer Ticket. Also plenty of local accommodation, from your basic YMCA places, B&B's (Probs best choice), to full hotels.
I live near Rye in Eastbourne, we have Beachy Head in the Sussex Downs (Hills) by the sea... beautiful. Brighton is half an hour away. We have a Roman Castle called Pevensey a mile away.
For me I love Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses, Whitby, Tynemouth, York and Edinburgh. Where I live I can be in the countryside in 5 minutes, the coast in 30. I live right next to a part of hadrians wall so used to tourists stopping at the top of my street in buses.
We have The National Trust and English Heritage here, who take Great Care of many of our National Parks, Historical Properties, Stately Homes and Gardens.😊🇬🇧
As a PROUD Englishman I Can honestly say the most unbelievably stunning region I’ve ever visited around the world was the Scottish Highlands, Scotland not only betters us in scenery but also National Anthem, I love flower of Scotland sung live at events, other than Istanbul, Edinburgh is my second favourite City to visit
Avebury in Wiltshire - largest stone circle in Europe. So large there is a village inside it, and you can touch the stones. Near by is Silbury Hill, largest man-made hill in Europe....but nobody knows why it was built. Also there is West Kennet Long Barrow, stone age burial chamber...all 3 sites are next to each other and all 3 are free to visit. If you go the right time of year, it isn't unusual to see a crop circle or 2 as well.
Yes, Ryan, I'm afraid to say you're right - that list of places you reviewed doesn't even scratch the surface.
You said it, and I only know it because - - -
yes, I've done it.!!
Each country that makes up the UK has extremely beautiful areas Wales is particularly well blessed.
Coastal Villages (aka Fishing Villages) in Devon and Cornwall are so nice and steeped in history and legend.
Some places are very quirky like the whole of the Isle of Wight and Portmeirion in Gwynedd north Wales (used in many tv and film productions most famously the cult tv series of the 1960s The Prisoner).
Having only visited once I haven't seen a lot, but the prettiest town I've been in was Bourton on the Water, best attraction was the zoo in the Cotswolds on the grouds of a castle
Absolutely love all your videos .Will you ever come to visit the UK , hope so
Devon and Cornwall are the best beach havens of the UK
The Roman baths in the city of Bath are now a museum and not open for swimming (I believe the water is toxic). There are however modern baths/spas on the same street which still draw water from the same thermal springs
Walk the Seven Sisters. Stunning and an easy day trip from London.
Your pronunciation of some of our British place names makes me chuckle out loud! I live in a place called Wiveliscombe on the edge of the Exmoor National Park, which contains many beautiful locations, both coastal and inland, and straddles two English counties, Somerset and Devon. Worth a visit if you're heading to the West Country.
