Try Gainsborough, my town. It has a Tudor half-timbered Manor House in the town center. It the biggest Manor House that has been in continual use since it was built in 1478. Henry Vlll met his last wife there, Catherine Parr. It has been visited by other royalty over the centuries too, as well as other welknown people. Two minutes away is the parish church. It was built on the foundations of a former church where Alfred the Great married his wife Elswitha of the Gainas Tribe. You have the River Trent a stones throw away from the Old Hall too, with a purpose built path along the river up to Trent Bridge that goes past all the old waves, and a fair few building turned into exclusive flats. There is a stunning walk from the Trent Bridge along the bank where you can walk past West Burton Power Station. Back in the town, there is the Heritage Center which chronicles the history of the town which is absolutely fascinating. I was born there, but had to move 10 years ago for work.
I always come back to this place. I was last there in April. It was blowing a hoolie on top of Mam Tor, it nearly blew me off my feet but it was a stunning view.
That brought back some memories! Back in college days, whole group of us walked over Mam Tor, starting at Castleton. Wouldn't have been a student thing if we missed a pub call at the beginning, or at the completion.
Hi never got to he castle, maybe next time,the scenery should be great from up there, as for the Blue john Mine and Cavern wear something warm its really cold down there😊
Thank you for this video. Although I live in a city, my heart will always be country. Towns and small cities. This one has some lovely brick work eg Bulls head pub.
Should be entitled half a village walk missed some of the more interesting places out , still interesting but should have walked the back streets especially upto devils arse
@@myrtleking7251 it would depend on the size and make of your camera really as each gimbal does different things for different sizes so you need one that fits and works perfectly What are you thinking of filming on?
Also watch - this wonderful walk through beautiful Whitby - czcams.com/video/5QWHULTGEco/video.html

Ha ha I like your style Bill!
Went there years ago, Blue John Mine, and the Speedwell Cavern very interesting.and a nice day out,
Nice! Would love to try the blue John mines!
Have you ever climbed the hill to the castle?

@@puma55792 Ah good tip! I hadn't thought of that
I'm going to try to get up to the castle too if my legs will let me 🤣

Definitely
I too am a city dweller with the same love for the countryside as yourself by the sound of it!
Omg.....we were thinking of visiting Castleton, but not after seeing this video.....
Ive lived+worked in here, plus Bakewell +Hathersage. Great video, great content.
Brought back some amazing memories.. 💯🇬🇧👍👌
Thank you! That is the best feedback if it triggers happy memories ❤️
Great walk one of the nicest villages in the peak 😊
Another beautiful place I’ve been. Climb the hill next time!
How about Wentworth for a next video?
Great suggestion - will have a look now
looks very nice
It is fab in summer!
Great video, we've just booked to stay in the village in October. This video came in handy to show the children! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Visited many years ago. Good to see
Thanks David!
Thanks for the video we booked a place in the village for next week hopefully we will have a nice stay
A place I’ve never visited yet looks nice, I bet it’s teaming with people in the summer
It gets busy but never too bad as most visitors are walkers and they head out into the countryside
Where should I film next? Reply and let me know as I'm keen to film as many requests as possible!
Looks like it was very cold when you filmed this
Looks deserted so sad 😭
@@paulinefearnley9379 was blazing hot sunshine and ice on the floor / mad day!
@@paulinefearnley9379 won’t be for long though - the walkers are starting to return now
The building opposite the school is called the chapel and is the hq of the technical speoloigy group a caving club i was a member for 20 + years
Oh crikey I didn't know that! The amazing little places tucked away that aren't that obvious always surprise me!
Should be entitled half a village walk missed some of the more interesting places out , still interesting but should have walked the back streets especially upto devils arse
I've filmed the rest - coming soon!
Yes, th-that house.
Looks quite a nice place pity they didn’t grit their pavement but it looked a nice day 😊
It was a lovely quiet peaceful walk but with dodgy ice!🤣
They dont grit the paths because if they do an someone slips they can be sued and are liable where as if they dont grit the paths they aren't liable..
@@eljustino1493 Crikey - I don't know if that's the right approach or not - can see both sides of that one!
We did our geography coursework on castleton and came to visit circa 2005
Superb videos !
Thanks a lot!
@@GimbalWalkTV You're welcome !
Nice...subscribed
Thank you so much and welcome! ❤️
It's cobs in derbyshire they don't know what breadcakes are
They need to change their ways then - it’s a breadcake! 🤣🤣
@@GimbalWalkTV It's a cob🤣🤣 The shape derives from a mixture of dung and hay used to build houses in medieval times.
Dee dah's are always right 🤣🤣
Just interested in what kit you use...thanks.....enjoyed your sheffield video
Thank you! It depends really - sometimes a Sony A7Siiii and sometimes just a GoPro!
@@GimbalWalkTV also a gimbal???
@@myrtleking7251 Oh definitely. I have three - about to swap them all though for some new gear
@@GimbalWalkTV any recommendations???
@@myrtleking7251 it would depend on the size and make of your camera really as each gimbal does different things for different sizes so you need one that fits and works perfectly
What are you thinking of filming on?
Is this the same Castleton video you made 8 months ago?
No - totally new! And much better!
