We're here with Episode Two of Hidden Gems in the Cotswolds, in this edition focusing on the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Where's your favourite place?
I love the area around Stroud, lots of lovely steep hills!
I do enjoy this area. My friends live in Leafield, so I enjoy visiting the area between Witney, Burford and Chipping Norton. I do like Charlbury and the 'under Wychwoods'. The Windrush and Evenlode valleys are wonderful . Lovely churches and scenery. Quite rugged on the escarpment tops, but quite beuatiful. Was at Chasleton yesterday as it happens.

Witney and Oxford :-)
Blenhaim palace :-)
Thank you for enriching my life and imagination, with a sprinkling of history.
I was listening to this without watching and i honestly thought it was John Hurt narrating. Anyone else thinking the same? What a fantastic voice this guy has.
Great voice 4 audiobooks
Sounds a bit pompous to me..
I'm so pleased I found this most excellent program! He seems very informed and expresses it with love for the area. Not only that, but very soothing as well. I just lost my precious husband and this series helps by taking me to beautiful England. Many thanks.
Welcome to the channel. I am so sorry for your loss and flattered and glad you are enjoying it. Hopefully we will see more of you. Take care. Robin.
These shows are enjoyable, educational and calming. Thank you so kindly for uploading. I look forward to the next one.
Many thanks for your kind words and for watching.
A pleasure to watch that's from a Yorkshire man wise some one could make same quality films on Yorkshire thank you
Thank You!
Please keep doing this! I watched this whilst waking up in bed this morning and it was absolutely lovely!
Thank you for all of these lovely videos. 🙏🏻 they’re so calming and they give me a sense of peace in this world of chaos. I enjoy watching them throughout the day when Im driving, exercising, eating etc. The Cotswolds are so charming!
Thank you for this magnificent production and all the incredible research undertaken to bring this part of England to viewers all round the world. I haven't been to the Cotswolds since 1984 and look forward to spending some time there when this pandemic is over.
Good afternoon Robin, thank you for the video.
Very welcome!
New subscriber. I appreciate the knowledge you have for each village. I absolutely adore the history of your beautiful country. I’ll be watching more! Mary from Iowa, USA.
Thanks so much for watching in Iowa Mary. Glad to have you on board. Robin
Thank you for highlighting smaller Cotswolds villages. We will be staying in Charlbury in March, and I have added some stops from your video to our itinerary :)
So pleased to hear that. Enjoy your trip!
You find such beautiful places. I like the Cotswolds, although l have never lived there, my partner has almost all her life. You have a charming way of relating the history on the places and buildings you show us. Charlbury looks gorgeous. Some of it reminds us of Cirencester and Tetbury.
Once you know a part of the Cotswolds well the rest will often have a familiar feel. Thanks for watching.
Sunday going to be cozy ) Greetings form Norway!
greetings to you too

Blimmey hidden gems not a truer word ever spoken i cannot believe the beautiful villages Love this channel Cheers Stephen 🤠✌️
I really love your videos. I really enjoy that you know your history as well. I have been searching for the village my great great grandmother was from. I'd love to visit the Cotswold and the rest of the country. I feel such a pull to it. My great great grandmother's name was Carrie Blydenburgh with Dutch decedents.
Beautiful!!! Thank you.
I just discovered your channel. It's delightful, cinematography is incredible. And the host is knowledgeable and endearing. Next I'll listen to the scary stories.
Thank you and warmest regards.

I am a new subscriber from Argentina. Thanks for sharing! Great videos!
I know Yarnton for their garden centre which includes a Antiques centre. Great breakfasts.
Suitable for a stop of for anyone visiting Yarnton
Now Robin, I love your show and am truly an ardent fan. I certainly applaud your respect for tradition, the local communities and these wonderful treasures! However mate, I’m thinking there may have been other, lets say, more physicality related reasons, other than your genuine respect, which factored into dissuading you from climbing that bloody gate! 😁👍🏼
You are, of course, completely right. My days of gate-vaulting are over. I just live in a kind of forlorn hope. Hey Ho. Glad you like the show. Please keep watching.
Good evening from a new subscriber in Canada. Educational with excellent location shots. And you have such a lovely voice. Well done! 🌹
good to hear from you Carol. Thanks for watching. Robin
Hi Robin! You mention from time to time the wonderful old pubs on your visits to the villages in the Cotswolds. It might be very interesting to show us all the interiors of these vintage establishments. Just a thought. Thanks for all these videos!!! Cheers !!!
I would think survival during the, “pandemic” would absolutely be impossible without buckets of beer! I believe it was the publican who provided the greatest public service to the community! 🍺 🍻 It just goes to show, the essential, direly important, symbiotic relationship between community and pub, which keeps us going! God bless beer!!!
hear hear
Excellent! thank you!
Great videos. I love your dog!
Thank you 😊
The cross you referred to outside of the church is almost certainly a preaching cross. They are found outside of many old churches and will normally predate them. They came from the time before the church itself when priests would go round on foot and it marks the place where they preached. Many marked a spot on a Ley line where, for many centuries before Christianity, pagan worship would have taken place.
That is truly fascinating. Thanks. I must do more digging into the history as we see a lot of these crosses.
I know ha! You have to make audiobooks ! Ideal voice 4 IT !
Waiting with a cup of tea and some biscuits...
PS- Have you ever included the small church at Shorthampton (between Charlbury and Chadlington)? Some medieval wall paintings here which are quite remarkable.
Certainly sounds worth checking out.
I love the wall paintings in Shorthampton. We will certainly try to fit them in soon.
@@robinshuckburgh5561 that is superb, I shall look forward to that episode ( well a bit more than I look forward to your others!).
Eynsham hall is also beautiful outside witney
Lovely. Yes concervation isn't appreciated. Until it makes a profit that is.
Hello Sir! There is a fan of yours from Turkey! I would like to learn what is the breed of your dog please?
Hi There. He's half Border terrier and half miniature Schnauzer. Good little fellow isn't he?
Cheers
Weird how the entrance to the church at 8:30 has the Chinese writing for "enter".
Hello! Let's learn more about.
Strouds area will be fine.
@@sylviabartsch6205 Hi Sylvia. Good to hear from you again.
Thank heavens the Glympton house didn't end up with Alan Bond. He would have pulled it down and built a huge and tasteless hotel as he did with so many places he acquired.
❤👍🌎.
In Woodstock there is a mr Churchill grave
God, the Cotswolds. It's like the The Stepford Wives, but for ageing English public schoolboys.
Love these vids and you have a great voice for narration. However this video has one or two anomalies regarding the local history. You mention a dinosaur jaw being found in 1824. Dinosaurs never existed and were an invention of Richard Owen who wrote a paper on them around 1840 then low and behold almost a year to the day their bones began being discovered everywhere and anything fitting the narrative that was discovered prior to this was deemed a dinosaur bone. Hence the whale jawbone discovered in your locality being re classified as a dino bone and as there were many other bones of sea creatures found in that area it makes sense that a whale bone would be found also. It is also worth pointing out that Richard Owen was a friend of Charles Darwin of the ridiculous evolution theory. Dinosaurs form part of the chain in that tall tale.

Hello. I am very interested in your stories.Please connect the Russian language in the credits.Since I don't understand a lot
Why is Britain so keen on selling beautiful property to foreign buyers? Just like much of London. Isn't it an enormous vulnerable condition to live in? I'm often at a loss when I try to understand the love of tradition, and the rather keen preference to keep Britain British, while foreigners with money are allowed to be owners of what I think should remain in British 👍
