It looks like you had beautiful weather for the most part. Thank you for sharing your memories! I grew up in Minneapolis and have fond memories of visiting the James J. Hill house with my Mother!
What fun. I would have liked to see more of Acton Court as I know Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn stayed there. I would also have liked to hear you speak on your discoveries, impressions and recommendations. Thanks for this, loved it.
Thanks! Acton Court didn't allow photography inside (an artist was using it as a studio) but the rooms were cavernous and stark. Dyrham Hall (#28) was probably the surprise favorite for me.
Your trip is my kind of heaven! Can’t wait for England to resolve their covid issues so I can return for more exploration. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Thanks much! Appreciate the kind words. Here's a similar video from the SE area of the USA if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/38CcRsOBAIQ/видео.html
I visited Arundel and Chatsworth when I resided in London. The Cavendish family (Chatsworth), have a connection to the Kennedy Family. The heir married Kathleen Kennedy. She became Marchioness of Harrington. Tragically, he died in WWII and she died in a plane crash. No kids. His younger brother became Duke of Devonshire. If I had to pick am aristocratic family to be born in, it would be the Fitzalan-Howard of Arundel. That's because it's such a ancient family, and several branches of the family exist. The connection to Mary, Queen of Scots, Catharine Howard, and Anne Boleyn, and they are descended from the Plantagenet's, and another royal house, but I don't remember which one. I would recommend Stourhead, Blenheim, Wilton, Beaulieu...
OMG what a fabulous tour. So jealous. You are fortunate to have seen all that fabulousness. Take me next time. 😊 Are these houses all open to the public? When you start your tour company I'll help. 😊
@@Craig4604 That's what spy cameras are for. They make pens and fake glasses. Could film it for your personal use. Only there once so.... How many would you say are open to the public?
@@BigBirdy100 over 50% are regularly open to the public, several others had more limited open days and a few of the "smaller ones" were private residences. I did similar video on a trip to SE USA if you want to check that out--some plantations, city houses, and Biltmore -- and some of the Civil Rights museums. Thanks for the comments!
If you ever have the chance after he pandemic ends, do visit Wentworth Woodhouse (largest and gorgeous coountry house, currentle in restaurtion, Boulton House and Badminton House! Well worth the time, money and visits.
I am glad they are restoring Wentworth Woodhouse there's an excellent book by Catherine Bailey called Black Diamonds. The house is a microcosm of the 20th C changes in Britain emblematic of class tensions and backlash against the wealthy colliery owners. Also tragedy as an heir's plane crashed with Kathleen Kennedy sister of President John Kennedy. A long fascinating read it's on Kindle. I am from the US but love British history.

Thanks! And ha! I started to add that narrative perspective, but it quickly turned into my one hour illustrated lecture. Since the Attingham program is geared heavily towards connoisseurship, I left it at the beauty shot gaze. But you've inspired me to do a video analyzing how visitors' responses shift during historic house tours. Tune in next week!
The 18th century architect/interior designer was Robert Adam--not AdamS--even when grouped with his male siblings they were known as the Brothers Adam, not the Adams Family!

A wonderful precis of these treasures and a superb antidote to lockdown for a travel starved from US Anglophile can't wait for 2022!
Hi p
Hi pretty how are you doing today?
It looks like you had beautiful weather for the most part. Thank you for sharing your memories! I grew up in Minneapolis and have fond memories of visiting the James J. Hill house with my Mother!
We just had one rainy day--amazing for England!
Incredible! Thank you for uploading this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dear Craig, what a privilege to follow this training, wonderful! I'm almost jealous as an art historian 😉
Just stunning. Every single one💜

@@Craig4604 Cheers.
I loved this vídeo! Thanks!
Thanks!
Such magnificent buildings!
Wonderful! Trip of a lifetime for sure. Cheers!
I kept wanting it to go on and on. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Appreciate that.

Hi pretty how are you doing today? You look charming and beautiful
Interesting, but I find the panning effect of the photos rather annoying after awhile.
Fair--I'm pretty inexperienced as a video-maker and appreciate the feedback.
By the way You look nice
And Beautiful Places with Beautiful Artworks

what a treat!
I recognised Belton House from the thumbnail. I live half a mile away from it! What a tour you went on!

Ha! Thanks, it was a daily jaw-dropping experience. A few places wouldn't allow photography in certain areas so much that I just have in my memory.

Badminton is not open to the public.
I used to volunteer at Calke Abbey.
Loved that estate--kind of mysterious and evocative. And the amazing bed curtains!
Where can I enroll?

I'd be interested to hear your historic home manager "inside scoop"--how you looked at things differently than us lay folk are. Beautiful shots!
Thanks! And ha! I started to add that narrative perspective, but it quickly turned into my one hour illustrated lecture.

@@Craig4604 You say "one hour illustrated lecture" like it's a bad thing... Anyway, looking forward to more!
This looks great
Robert Adam not Adams but great photos
Thank you--you're right, of course. My bad.
Is there such a tour whereby all these places could be visited?
Yes, this was the English Country Estates summer school offered by the Attingham Trust -- www.attinghamtrust.org
@@Craig4604 thank you Craig
Thanks.
Cotswolds only has one T.
The 18th century architect/interior designer was Robert Adam--not AdamS--even when grouped with his male siblings they were known as the Brothers Adam, not the Adams Family!

It’s Robert Adam, not Adams.
I envy your job... and enjoyed your video. However consider narrating future video's? So we ur audience, know what's going on. stay well
Thanks for the comment! I did narrate the next one -- a trip through SE USA. Link is in the comments and description.
Combien coûte cette romantique majestueuse propreté ?👍👑🎩🎩❤️
A LOT!! So many of these estates have been torn down.
Great
An 'academic' that cannot spell Cotswolds correctly.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, it was strange that the Attingham course materials we received spelled it Cottswolds. Apologies for any annoyance!
