- A one week photo tour of the Lake District in Northern England (Central England on the title screen is in error). Beautiful countryside near Two-Views cottage where we stayed. Steam Gondola Tour to John Ruskin's Home on Coniston Water, with many panoramic zoom and pan photos from the lake and from the home. Scenic walks in Troutbeck and Windermere. Visit to Hill Top, home and business center of Beatrix Potter of Peter Rabbit fame. Afternoon tea and fun at Broadoaks Country House. Extensive tour of the William Wordsworth Home and Garden at Rydal Mount, Grasmere. Intimate inside and outside look at Townend in Troutbeck, home of the Browne family since 1623. Visit to Wordsworth's church and grave site and the town of Grasmere. Scenic photos of Castlerigg, a stone circle made 4,500 years ago.
I can't believe I could go to William Wordsworth's home and garden! He's one of my favorite poet! I remember so well his lines: I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze …
Our favorite poem, too. While there we bought a beautiful cup with daffodils on the front and this poem on the back. It's still Mary's favorite.
@@HerbLindberg Ohhh, I am so glad I met both of you! God works in mysterious ways, Sir and this meeting of ours is one of those! How grateful I am and how blessed I am for coming across your channel. Please extend my regards to Ma'am Mary! How I love to see that cup with daffodils and Wordsworth poem. Have a good day, Sir Herb and Ma'am Mary!
Dove Cottage was one of Wordsworth's homes. Throughout his life he also lived in several other houses nearby.
@@Brian-om2hh Thanks a lot for the info :) Have a nice and safe day, Brian!
I have camped in buttermere many times and this brought tears to my eyes ! What a beautiful film and thank you so much for making this ! Will go back soon .
It's kind words like these that make the work preparing this video worthwhile.
Lovely choice of music. I relaxed immediately. We owe so much to Beatrix Potter for conserving this area.
Yes, it was Beatrix Potter who inspired us to make this visit; we can't thank her enough.
Not so much Beatrix Potter, but her friend Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley, who founded the National Trust.......Beatrix Potter ensured that the 4000 odd acres of the Lake District she'd bought would pass to the National Trust on her death.... Although World famous for her books, Beatrix Potter was also very well established as a Champion sheep breeder, although this side of her life is often overshadowed by the children's books she wrote.
Breath taking beautiful
Zoey Leah - As are you, Zoey
I live on the opposite side of Northern England (close to the North Sea coast,) but used to visit The Lake District regularly (about once or twice every year,) until about 10 years ago or so. My circumstances changed then, and as a result I haven't been able to travel back there, for far too long.
Though East Yorkshire is my physical home, I've always thought of Cumbria as my spiritual home, to the extent that each and every time we visited the Lakes, I would feel relieved at being back there. In fact, this may seem hard to comprehend for anyone who has never experienced it, but if I'd been away for any length of time, when I eventually returned to the Lake District, on arrival in that wonderful environment, I would experience what I can only describe as feeling my soul exhale with relief, as though I'd been holding my breath for all the time I'd been away.
I've reached retirement this year, and when I've managed to sort out a few personal, financial and domestic affairs, I hope to start visiting there again in the next year or two, if only for the odd weekend there, annually.
Of course ideally, I'd love to live there permanently, but unless there's a long forgotten rich relative who'll remember me in their will, or I'm lucky enough for the Lottery to smile upon me, I'll have to put up with looking forward to occasional visits, and viewing videos like this on RUclips to get my personal 'Lakes fixes' in the meantime.
i feel the very same way although i've not been to the lake district. i attended school in yorkshire and lived in catterick camp with my aunt and uncle. i feel i've had a past life in the LD and i'm making plans to visit there. unfortunately i don't know anyone there. would you like to keep in touch? i'm at poppy21@coastside.net. hope to hear from you, ks
God bless
I know exactly how you feel. I have thought of the Lake District as my spiritual home for years (and I'm not actually religious). Whenever we get to the Laje District, I feel like i can breathe again.
The lakes and hills and green grass..Wordsworthian inspiration...simply awesome!
This video with it's pleasure music is just the viewing needed to enjoy. Extremely beautiful as described by the poet , I have enjoyed this picturesque Lake District . Thank you Sir.
Thank you
This is beyond beautiful place---it is poetic, almost surreal! I thank God I came across your channel so I was able to see this very beautiful place! And Mr John Ruskin's house is phenomenal! I was travelling back in time, the victorian era. Thank you so much, Mister Herb Lindberg! May God bless you with health and joy through all the years!
And thanks for your kind words, "Mom." This year I've focused almost entirely on the process of restoring the covered bridge at Bridgeport, CA (16 videos) but soon hope to get back to beautiful videos made with more sophisticated software, PTE AV Studio.
@@HerbLindberg I am so excited waiting for all your videos because they have useful contents, Sir. I never expected for you to answer let alone visit my kitchen. Iam teary-eyed Mr. Lindberg. Your visit is a blessing given to me by God Almighty. I am wholeheartedly wishing you more and more years in this world, Sir!
This video is a masterpiece.
Thank you, Alan. This is the most encouraging comment I've had in the 4 years since I posted the video.
@@HerbLindberg No problem. It appears you really enjoyed your stay in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Very well put together and love the background music! I miss my UK trip .Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip.
Yes, I'm very happy with the music source for this video. I list them in my closing credits. And thanks for the good word!
Wow! What a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. I just completed this video about beauty in our own back yard.

Wonderful pics....loved every second
Thank you. Hope you have been there, too, or get to visit soon.
Lovely pictures accompanied by very appropriate music. Well done
My best video of the Lake District and the choice of lovely music to accompany it Thanks a lot Herb ❤
Its so nostalgic.
Just a.m.a.z.i.n.g . Having been there a decade back, it helped me relive moments, and made me very nostalgic. Love from 🇮🇳.
Thanks. Kind words make the work worthwhile.
So beautiful
I want to go there, this is my dream from many years. I want to live rest of my life in this countryside.
I hope you did get to go 🙏🏼
One of my favourite locations beautifully captured on film. I also love to walk the wide open spaces of Northumberland, a county so defined by the magnificent Bamburgh Castle. The South West Coastal path is another beautiful spot meandering along the cliff tops of Dorset's Jurassic coastline.
Happy you enjoyed the video.
The most beautiful film of the Lake District! Stunning photos and the music matched perfectly, absolutely lovely ;) I live literally an hour south from here and I really should visit more often. Thanks so much for sharing your holiday with us!
And thank you for the kind words and keeping up the beauty of the Lake District.
Can you recommend a place to stay in the area? I attended school in Richmond Yorkshire a lifetime ago. Never should have left the area . . . alas, it was not my fate to stay. Have always longed to return to Northern England.
Mari Buckley what? Plus you Brits have trains! US now officially a Banana Republic
I was there Last April and i must say it was incredible and superbly natural. Could only visit a part of it but it was enough to be remembered forever. Long to see someday lake windermere and grasmere someday for sure :)
Have no Words to say
How much I ❤ you England

BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL VIDEO.
Just wonderful. Hope you had a great time.
I make Lake District videos, and I watch an awful lot on here, and I have to say that this is one of the most enjoyable I have come across. OK so you got a few things wrong in your captions, but so what, it is your obvious enjoyment of the place that shines through. As a resident of Windermere I am so glad you came here and had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you, this is a compliment of the highest order! Yes, I was struggling to learn the whole two weeks we were in England but I'm glad I made my joy at the beauty of the Lake District come through to you.
Herb, you put together one beautiful slideshow.
Beautiful, on my bucket list. Since I was a little girl l have had an obsession with England .❤️❤️❤️
Come here u are most welcome.
Thank you!!! So beautiful and calming!!!!!
Thank you, Davina. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this. I love England. If you get to come back here again there is some lovely countryside in Surrey and Kent too. I love California and have been there several times. With best wishes to you and your family.
I hope I can return -- it's such a beautiful place.
Glad you enjoyed it. The only time I get homesick is when I think of the Lake District.
You can say that again.
the most beautiful country and i love the gardens
What a wonderful video
Thanks, Clem.
Beautiful place，those sheep are very cute 😊👍
They taste nice too !!!!
What a great video, the Lake District has some wonderful views.
Thanks, John. Your encouragement spurs me on to make new and better videos (at least I'll try!).
Beautiful!
thank you so much for making this video available....
Beautiful Photographs, great quality too, congratulations on your choice of views. Ignore the gripes from the usual moaners
Thanks! (The gripes are a legitimate correction of my geographic error. I corrected the error in my description but couldn't on the title page without re-doing the entire video.)
England yeah !!!
Just lovely!!! Thank You for sharing!!!
Thank you for sharing. So beautiful..
Loverly photos
nice england countryside , god gift & human brain.
A great video of my homeland , thank you.
Great video it was really relaxing. Coming from America you must have been blown away with the views and heritage. I'm not far from the Lake District and totally in love with the place. I'm so lucky. Ps your family look lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, blown away describes my impression nicely. Barbara had stayed in the same cottage (Two Views) three years prior and I was blown away by her photos. Two more weeks there would have been nice. Or a whole year to see all the seasons.
+Herb Lindberg autumn is unbelievably beautiful. The colours are out if this world. The only problem is it doesn't last long as the leaves get blown off quite quickly. We were luckily last autumn as they lasted longer than usual. You do need a year here as so many places to explore. BTW what is the music? It's superbly in sync with your pics :-)
I give the source of my music in the credits at the end. I searched through for many hours (centered on English countryside instrumental) until I found something appropriate for various scenes. I did the same thing for my videos of Hampton Court Palace (ruclips.net/video/KONhWnNle5A/видео.html) and London (ruclips.net/video/0rrKzVgAb5E/видео.html) the previous week. My web pages of London are much more thorough than the video (lindberglce.com/2015/0901_London/Westminster.html)
Thank you! So relaxing to watch and helpful for me as I plan my trip.
Beautiful
Paradise. The gingerbread is delicious.
Uk ,best country side in the world
Nothing - and I mean, really, absolutely nothing - is more extraordinary in Britain than the beauty of the countryside.
Nowhere in the world is there a landscape that has been more intensively utilised - more mined, farmed, quarried, covered with
cities and clanging factories, threaded with motorways and railway lines - and yet remains so comprehensively and reliably lovely over most of its extent. It is the happiest accident in history. ..........US born writer, Bill Bryson
Beautiful sceneries. This place is in my travel bucket list. Btw which month the trip was done?
Early September 2015.
Lovely video. Looks like you had a great time.
Mind you, I'd get a sore neck staying at somewhere called 'Two Views'.
Wait when did they move the lake district to the Midlands?
@britpack dog - That was a typo.
Thank you x
You're welcome x
Ang ganda nmn dyn sis sana makapunta din ako dyn someday ingat lagi
What a great video tour. I've always wanted to go to the Lake Distict and particularly interested in seeing Hilltop. After watching this, I felt as if I've already been! Thank you. What time of year did you visit? You had lovely weather:)
We spent a week in early September, 2015 and were fortunate to have beautiful weather the entire time. We had our rain in London the previous week.
Such unique flowers
So lucky to be a part of this place
God bless you all
Nice place and people.
“Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry
I'm setting off, but not without my muse”
Taylor Swift
I don't think all poets came to die here. They wouldn't all be able to find a parking place for a start.....
Glad you enjoyed your trip here Herb!
Thanks! Yes, we did very much. Barbara had gone 3 years earlier and took beautiful pictures that made us excited to go.
Ruskins ...home is in Coniston ....I'm not far from there ...I've moved from Liverpool ...great pictures
Very nice video
:)
The Lake District is NOT in Central England, it's in the North West of England. I was born there....
Please forgive this American -- I get confused about the countries in the British Isles and forgot another is stacked on top of England. I corrected this on my web pages but didn't want to rock the boat with my video. I've been getting 50 hits per day and didn't want the URL to change and new viewers to get lost.
"another one stacked on top of England" - that'll be Scotland...Not sure I like the idea of my homeland being thought of simply as that bit of the British Isles that's "stacked on top of England"!!!!
karma for you guys seemingly hating us english ;P
+lord daver Not sure you like it? That's your problem and no one else's, I suggest you grow thicker skin and stop being a bloody moron. P.S. You don't own the part of the world where you live any more than anyone else. Deal with it.
Damn Deal Done
Just who the hell are you? Your opinion counts for nothing...
I'm confused by the title... How is the Lake District 'Central England'??
It isn't! When I created this video I misread the map but knew my error within weeks because of kind people like you. However, I didn't want to create a corrected version because then people referring others to the video would have the wrong address. I did correct the error in the text below the posting, above these comments.
@@HerbLindberg haha fair enough!! Thank you for visiting and making such a nice video. It's where I grew up 💗
Well! What can you say about that?
Beautiful
Thanks. About time to return.
@@HerbLindberg we will still be here for a while mate
Nice film thanks for posting.
Perhaps St Oswald's although a beautiful building, was a place that preached the truth at one time in history but certainly not now and cannot be seriously called "a Church".
God bless
So sad. Thanks for the comment.
The Lake District is not in 'Central England'; it's in the north-west.
Yes, I know, but thanks for confirming. I had already posted this video before I looked more closely at the boundary between England and Scotland. We're from California.
Actually to anyone you lives in the south the Lake District IS in central England
@@janheard3826: Hardly! You need to brush-up on your geography....
Centre England?! No! North England
The lakes are in Cumbria which for our american friends is geographically equivalent to Washington state in the US. Even though the distances are much smaller it is definitely not in Central England. Cumbria borders scotland as Washington state does Canada.
Thanks much. Yes, I knew the Lake District was in Cumbria but your explanation for Americans is great. I can correct my text description but I screwed up badly when I put my mistake on the title page of the video! I don't know how to correct that without completely re-rendering the video and losing its URL, which is now well established with more than 23,000 views. Sigh.
steve rust: Cumbria is a made-up county, which came into existence in 1974 solely for administrative and ceremonial purposes, and may just as easily be swept-away in any future local-government reorganization. The Lake District lies within the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, and will remain so because there never has been any Act of Parliament nor other legislation which allows for the abolition of the historic counties of England. In fact, in 2013 Eric Pickles MP, the then Secretary of State for Communuties and Local Government, formally recognized and acknowledged the continued existence of England's thirty-nine historic counties. In addition, in 2014 further meaures were introduced which allows for the names of historic counties to be displayed on road signs and other signs, and for the flags of historic counties to be flown without restriction.
@@anghinetti The historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland AND North Lancashire!
(Though since The Lake District has an identity of its own, which differs so much from the rest of the three original historic counties, it's mostly irrelevent which counties they were, and to group it all under 'Cumbria' seems to make sense from a travel point of view as well as from admistrative and ceremonial ones.)
Nice
I'm surprised the town planners allowed that ugly red "Prince of India, Tandoori Restaurant" sign to mar the beautiful half-timbered Tudor house. Great photos by the way.
I agree. The whole restaurant is a disaster. Don't know why I took the photo.
Yeh it's a bit gaudy but the building looks c.1900-1930 to me! Mock Tudor, also known as Tudor Revival in the States.
The tandooris taste great
Well, because it's not some kind of Disneyland 'Ye Olde England', it's a real place where people live, work, socialise and raise families. Thank God.
@@clairenoon4070 No, it's ugly and shows no consideration for beauty or for the history of the building. I presume you are a Leftie and, therefore, wouldn't object to everything in this country looking like post-war East Berlin.
Nice. Might be a great place to live.

@@denebeyi1425 I don't have a drone camera, but it would be great for the views here.
Its not in central England, its in the north west
And the lord said when he created cumbria , how can i better this. Then he thought ,my masterpiece. I wont try.
Amen!
@@HerbLindberg thank you Herb. I take it you have been here. You and people like you are ALLWAYS welcome to come back. You will find the piece and tranquillity all of mankind craves for . GOD BLESS
Thank you for the welcome. Mary & I hope we will be able to visit again. Of course we were there for the week I took the photos from which I created this video. It's very gratifying that it's been received so well.@@johnhudson747
If only the Lord spend a little longer on the job and created more parking spaces while he was at it........
l wish to go there
i wish I could be an Englishman next life
Good thought. It's been stressful here in the U.S. for the past 12 years but I'll stay here. But maybe move out of California.
I hope you didn't do the driving of you think it is in central England
You're right -- I was very grateful for our son-in-law doing the driving and daughter doing the planning. I apologize to the Scottish people for not being familiar with their border with England. With help from people like yourself I now know more about the border and corrected my mistake in the text below the video.
Herb Lindberg I think it's more that us northern English are proud of our region and have our own identity from the rest of England and Scotland 👍. I did forget to say nice video in previous comment 👌
🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤
Buras gerçekte harika bir yer
Thank you for helping to open my video to a new audience. I hope you get to visit the Lake District.
Me fed up in London. Want to move near nature, grow me veg, keep chickens, take long walks on countryside and meditate near open nature.
Grasmere is a village, not a town Herb.....
Interesting. Thanks, --Herb
Well Trexie belle I hope you didn't go in search of a better place no point wasting your time is there
Let's not hop on Trexie too hard; after all, I DID have the location wrong! :( But thanks for your support. :)
I love your handle, Misty Cat.
