Nice video. My son is a stone mason at Durham Cathedral. Amazing place. Used to be at York Minster too. And my grandchildren love ice cream from that boat! The side room in the Minster is The Chapter House.
The National Railway Museum and the Yorkshire Museum Gardens are some of my favorite places in all of England. You got some amazing footage and it really brought me back. Thanks for a lovely vlog!
Thanks for appreciating my country. I feel so lucky to live here. I was brought up in Southwell. Southwell Minster is something else. The leaves of Southwell. Magnificent.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching. We are still traveling, just a bit differently. We are hopeful to get back on the road (internationally) again next year if it’s safe!
Durham is pronounced Durram. We have a rental property in Durham Road. We took the train from Edinburgh to London. Just had to take a photo of the Durham Station sign. We’ll be visiting the UK again in May from Australia.
You too have talent at making vlogs and truthful reviews- great editing and thoughtful music, keep up the great work. You have made me proud to be from the UK but gutted I haven't experienced it all! x
I live half way between Durham and York and therefore can visit regularly. They are fabulous places, both steeped in history and are great for a weekend on the booze too. Thanks for a great video.
Seeing as you’re a Harry Potter fan, you may be interested in some Harry Potter filming locations that I’ve visited in England (which, like others have mentioned, also includes Durham Cathedral): The *medieval village of “Lacock, Wiltshire”* (South-West England): *Within the Abbey* (Lacock Abbey - the sections used were mostly from the 1230s): - The “Chapter House”: Mirror of Erised room (Philosopher’s Stone), Study Room (Chamber of Secrets) and the room where Snape and McGonagall examine the cursed necklace (Half-Blood Prince), - The “Sacristy”: Professor Snape’s Potions Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone), - The “Cloisters”: Hogwarts Hallways (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets), - The “Warming Room”: Professor Quirell’s Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone). *Within the Village itself* (which has been used in countless movies/ TV shows from Pride and Prejudice to Downton Abbey): - The village stood in for “Budleigh Babbington” (Half-Blood Prince), - Cantax House (built 1699): was Professor Slughorn’s hideout (Half-Blood Prince), - A small cottage at the end of Church Street was used as the Potter House (Philosopher’s Stone), where Voldemort murdered Lily and James. --------- In the *Historic city of Oxford* (South-West England): - The “Divinity School” (built 1427 with ceiling added in 1483): Hogwarts Infirmary (Philosopher’s Stone) and the Room in which Professor McGonagall teaches everyone to dance for the Yule Ball (Goblet of Fire), - “New College Cloisters” (built 1390s): used for the scene where Malfoy gets turned into a ferret by Mad-Eye Moody (Goblet of Fire), - “Duke Humfrey’s Library” (they mostly filmed within the original medieval section; built 1487, but also used the newer half from the early 1600s): it was used to portray the Hogwarts library in the Philosopher’s Stone, Goblet of Fire and the Half-Blood Prince, - “Christ Church Staircase” (16th century): The Staircase which leads into the Great Hall (Philosopher’s Stone), and the nearby hallways were used for the scene in which Hermione shows Harry his father’s Quidditch trophy. - The “Dining Hall” (built 1529): This was not actually a filming location, but this room served as the inspiration for the ‘Great Hall’ in Hogwarts (as did a lot of other aspects of Oxford and Cambridge). --------- Within *Gloucester Cathedral* (built between 1089-1450 in South-West England): - The stunning fan-vaulted “Cloisters” (1351-1377): were used as Hogwarts Hallways in the Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets (most notably where blood was used on the wall to signal the opening of the Chamber of Secrets) and the Half-Blood Prince, - The “Lavatorium” (Monks Washroom from the 1300s): was used in the Philosopher’s Stone (hiding from the escaped Troll) and Half-Blood Prince (Harry overhears Snape take the unbreakable vow). --------- Within *Durham Cathedral* (built 1093-1133 in North-East England): - The “Chapter House”: Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets), - The “Cloisters”: used as Hogwarts Hallways, as well as the courtyard where Harry fly’s Hedwig in the snow and Ron vomits slugs (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets), - A room high up in the cathedral: was where Harry, Ron and Hermione met Fluffy the three-headed dog (Philosopher’s Stone). --------- Within *Alnwick Castle, Northumberland* (mostly built between 1096-1150 in North-East England): - The exterior was used to portray Hogwarts in both the Philosopher’s Stone (most notably where Madam Hooch teaches Quidditch to the first years), and the Chamber of Secrets (for example where Harry and Ron crash into the Whomping Willow). --------- Within *Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire* (built 1590 in North-East England): - The exterior was used as “Malfoy Manor” in the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 (along with the addition of spires). --------- In the 18th century *landscaped gardens of Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire* (South-West England): - A 300 year old Cedar of Lebanon tree: was used in the flashback sequence which showed young Snape being bullied by James Potter (Order of the Phoenix).
this video is a little old now. but I'm moving 4 hours from home to be at university in york and it looks lovely. this is such a good video thank you! glad you enjoyed the UK
If you ever find yourself in York again you should check out the York Castle Museum. It’s amazing and has a preserved Victorian street with shops you can buy old world style sweets and stuff in.
Hi guys, great video, some really interesting places and I love the ease you guys have with the camera and the way your shots are put together. Great work guys, keep them coming 👍
What a great video. I am so glad you visited my hometown of Durham. The cathedral is one of the world's finest in my opinion. And thank you for pronouncing Durham correctly. You'd be surprised at the various ways I've heard Americans say it. 😂
Anyone who lives in Northallerton is roughly equidistant from York and Durham. Where I live in Teesside is definitely closer to Durham (24 miles away) but I'm a shopper and a food lover and York (49 miles away) has more of that, particularly a lot more of the latter, and York has much more accommodation, city museums, and cafes (although York's not 'cafe central' apart from Bettys, more restaurants (and, even then, many of the UK's best restaurants are in village pubs - this is not true of all counties though), it's still leagues over Durham). York's suburbs are also far more extensive, established, and pretty. If you only go to one, it should be York by far from a tourist perspective, with its riverboats, wall walks, old timbered buildings, a main park, and alleyways.
I think Bill Bryson might disagree Durham is small and that’s how we like it. There’s excellent places to eat and you can get round it quickly I also to is a UNESCO world heritage site which York is not.Durham I less commercial than York and again that’s how we like it and the University is better than York’s. I could go on but it’s been a long day I’m a Teessider who lives in Durham from Grangetiwn Boro Durham is a much quieter place than York or Boro if you want a wild night out Newcastle is 12 minutes in the train and the trains are very frequent Durham beats York beats the more commercial cathedral cities as it’s still localised apart from the University however it is becoming more popular I do hope it doesn’t become overly commercialised. Tourists obviously are welcome to the North’s best kept secret. Bill Bryson was travelling to Edinburgh from York by train he’d not even heard of Durham as the train pulled into the station he seen the might Cathedral and castle stood proudly over the city on its peninsula lush with trees and green and the river he jumped off the train immediately and stayed for a week there started his love affair with Durham the University even named a library after him . I’m a little biased and I do think York is lovely but I’d choose Durham to live any day of the year. Did I mention we won best Indian restaurant in the north east also 😀
Really fun, I enjoyed it very much. It's interesting as an English person to see what others make of this country and at times quite amusing / different. Do post more. It would be nice to hear a little more about your background, what you do, etc. Your videos are good for not doing what a lot of visiting American vlogs do, which are basically either long complaints about how bad things are here, or else semi-comic reviews of our quirky habits. What you could do differently is have a little more detail about some of the things you are doing. I liked it that you didn't spend hours filming your food, another weakness of many RUclips travelogs. James - Derbyshire, England
Thank you for watching and providing your compliments and feedback, James. Very helpful! We'll be incorporating some of this into our future videos. Currently, we're still trying to catch up on editing videos from our travels that we've already filmed. So, they constantly get better with each one. Happy new year!
Which American vloggers have you been watching? I’ve never seen any of them do/ say that, normally they are very complimentary and kind towards the United Kingdom (like this couple). In my experience I’ve seen more people from Europe be negative towards the US, and not so much the other way around… but who knows
Looks like you didn’t get the best weather this part of the trip. If you spent any amount of time in the UK you know how quickly it changes. Sunny days in the UK make it feel like an entirely different place (an expat living in Florida).
I am a durham local- wouldn't recommend Lebaneat- it's got a really bad food hygine rating and had illegal workers. You should try, fat hippo for amazing hand made burgers and shaheens curry house.
1:22 Unless I'm mistaken on which roundabout this is, just as you come off it towards Durham you see the Cathedral in all its glory. On long car trips from my childhood (and even today when visiting my parents), that sight means I'm home.
When Ceaser arrived in Britain, they found roads (two excavated Roman roads found the existance of existing roads underneath the Roman layer) and at least 65 towns and cities. Britains Hidden Histories.
This snotty woman in Durham cathedral had issues with us taking photos. I said, “Strange you didn’t have the same objections when you were getting photos for your £10 guidebook. “
I'm glad you visited the North East. There's so much to see in England beyond London. I'm glad you had a nice time. Also, the guy on this video kind of looks like a young Joe Biden!
I really enjoy your videos. We are doing almost the same trip in May although we are not going all the way up into Scotland. I’ve been reading about the very narrow roads with no shoulders or turn outs and walls on either side - especially in the Cotswolds. I’m curious if you found this to be a problem and if you have any tips for handling this. Also, how accessible was gasoline and parking? Any problem with either of these? Thank you.
Lisa Luster Oh how fun! You’ll love it. As for the roads. There are certainly many narrow roads, only big enough for one car. Our experience was that there were often small shoulders to pull over and let others pass. So our tip would be if you come upon another driver and you have recently passed a shoulder, just reverse back to it. Or it may be that the other car is closer to one and they will reverse. We did that a few times with no issue. Also, rent a small vehicle so you’re more comfortable moving around. We had good size four-door vehicle and had no issue. Also, we always found plenty of parking (some free, some for a small fee) everywhere we went. Gas didn’t seem to be a problem either, but definitely plan ahead on that. All in all it was a very comfortable and BEAUTIFUL road trip! Happy travels!
Lisa: Couple of points on driving: hire an automatic (most hire cars are manual gearbox) as driving on the opposite side of the road and British roads is stressful enough without coping as well with a gear shift. Buy petrol or diesel from supermarkets (most large supermarkets also sell fuel) as it's much cheaper than buying on motorways (freeways). Oh also, often you're given the option 'pay at pump or in kiosk'. If you choose to pay at the kiosk (with cash or a card), unlike the USA, you don't need to pay in advance. We trust drivers to pay!
According to Wikipedia it began service in 1994. It’s called the Channel Tunnel (I think colloquially the “Chunnel”). It actually runs from Folkestone, England to Coquelles, France.
@@KeepGoingPlaces: Tell me something I don't know. Witnessed its opening and used it a number of times, the Channel Tunnel indeed runs between Folkstone (England) and Coquelles (France) and thus not an underwater tunnel running between London and Paris.
Er, has nobody told you that to drive while drinking is an offence? I don’t mean booze either! You need both hands on the wheel in GB. it’s not a freeway where nothing happens for miles.
'We just got done at York Minster, and it was just under £12 to get in per person, and we had a free tour'!!! No, you paid £12 per person and that included a tour LOL
hi Ashley and Jordan when York You missed seeing the Yorvik exhibition while you were in York , was all about life as it was in york 1400years ago with life size dummies dress up like people in a mock up village the way they live then between the about 1200 yrs previous David Chave
Sangat disayangkan Durham University nya tidak keliput .Padahal aku menunggu karena itu adalah Universitas impian dan semoga anakku bisa Kuliah di Durham University...
Amazing Grace (that saved a wretch like me”).....Attributed to John Newton, Commander of slave ships transporting slaves to the Caribbean and North America, he became converted to a deep Christianity, and became a leading light of the abolitionist movement in England
mike saunders Interesting! We definitely do prefer time over actual distance. Maybe it comes from dealing with traffic where time is more relevant than miles or km? Who knows! Interesting observation - thanks for watching!
@@KeepGoingPlaces I think the reason is that if you are driving from say Los Angeles to Denver and don't break the speed limit then time is a better measure than distance. In the UK, we say distance because even if the trip is only 10 miles it could take you 15 minutes or an hour an 15 minutes, depending on time of day, traffic, roadworks ect.
Durham is my home town ,very lucky to have all this on my doorstep.
Very lucky, indeed!
Durham Cathedral and Beamish were the go to 'school trip' destinations growing up in the 70s and 80s in Co Durham
I live in durham and have done my whole life so i absolutely adored this video, it’s so lovely to see durham from another person’s perspective!
What a compliment! Thanks so much, Bethany! ☺️
Amazing Grace was written in Olney which is a village on the border of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire.
Thanks for sharing (and watching)!
I live in York and I was great seeing you explore my home! So many Americans think the UK is just London! So much more to explore
Yes, so much more history in the north of England. History wise.
Nice video. My son is a stone mason at Durham Cathedral. Amazing place. Used to be at York Minster too. And my grandchildren love ice cream from that boat! The side room in the Minster is The Chapter House.
How cool! Thanks so much for watching!
it was really lovely!!! thanks a lot for showing us all of these amazing places!!!
A great video. I am pleased you enjoyed my city of York
Thank you! We really enjoyed our time in York. Thank you for watching!
The National Railway Museum and the Yorkshire Museum Gardens are some of my favorite places in all of England. You got some amazing footage and it really brought me back. Thanks for a lovely vlog!

What a beautiful place to live! We would love to get back some day 😊
Liked the impromptu song in the minster! And did you know that Bill Bryson the US-born writer was Chancellor of Durham University for a while?
Thanks!
Durham Cathedrals regularly tops the polls for England's favourite building.
I totally get that, it’s gorgeous!
World Heritage Site.
Thanks for appreciating my country. I feel so lucky to live here. I was brought up in Southwell. Southwell Minster is something else. The leaves of Southwell. Magnificent.

@@KeepGoingPlaces well you are welcome and thanks for showing areas away from London😎👍
Durham is pronounced Durram. We have a rental property in Durham Road. We took the train from Edinburgh to London. Just had to take a photo of the Durham Station sign. We’ll be visiting the UK again in May from Australia.

You too have talent at making vlogs and truthful reviews- great editing and thoughtful music, keep up the great work. You have made me proud to be from the UK but gutted I haven't experienced it all! x
I live half way between Durham and York and therefore can visit regularly. They are fabulous places, both steeped in history and are great for a weekend on the booze too. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!
@@KeepGoingPlaces Yes it was fab. Keep these great videos coming!!
Seeing as you’re a Harry Potter fan, you may be interested in some Harry Potter filming locations that I’ve visited in England (which, like others have mentioned, also includes Durham Cathedral):
The *medieval village of “Lacock, Wiltshire”* (South-West England):
*Within the Abbey* (Lacock Abbey - the sections used were mostly from the 1230s):
- The “Chapter House”: Mirror of Erised room (Philosopher’s Stone), Study Room (Chamber of Secrets) and the room where Snape and McGonagall examine the cursed necklace (Half-Blood Prince),
- The “Sacristy”: Professor Snape’s Potions Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone),
- The “Cloisters”: Hogwarts Hallways (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets),
- The “Warming Room”: Professor Quirell’s Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone).
*Within the Village itself* (which has been used in countless movies/ TV shows from Pride and Prejudice to Downton Abbey):
- The village stood in for “Budleigh Babbington” (Half-Blood Prince),
- Cantax House (built 1699): was Professor Slughorn’s hideout (Half-Blood Prince),
- A small cottage at the end of Church Street was used as the Potter House (Philosopher’s Stone), where Voldemort murdered Lily and James.
---------
In the *Historic city of Oxford* (South-West England):
- The “Divinity School” (built 1427 with ceiling added in 1483): Hogwarts Infirmary (Philosopher’s Stone) and the Room in which Professor McGonagall teaches everyone to dance for the Yule Ball (Goblet of Fire),
- “New College Cloisters” (built 1390s): used for the scene where Malfoy gets turned into a ferret by Mad-Eye Moody (Goblet of Fire),
- “Duke Humfrey’s Library” (they mostly filmed within the original medieval section; built 1487, but also used the newer half from the early 1600s): it was used to portray the Hogwarts library in the Philosopher’s Stone, Goblet of Fire and the Half-Blood Prince,
- “Christ Church Staircase” (16th century): The Staircase which leads into the Great Hall (Philosopher’s Stone), and the nearby hallways were used for the scene in which Hermione shows Harry his father’s Quidditch trophy.
- The “Dining Hall” (built 1529): This was not actually a filming location, but this room served as the inspiration for the ‘Great Hall’ in Hogwarts (as did a lot of other aspects of Oxford and Cambridge).
---------
Within *Gloucester Cathedral* (built between 1089-1450 in South-West England):
- The stunning fan-vaulted “Cloisters” (1351-1377): were used as Hogwarts Hallways in the Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets (most notably where blood was used on the wall to signal the opening of the Chamber of Secrets) and the Half-Blood Prince,
- The “Lavatorium” (Monks Washroom from the 1300s): was used in the Philosopher’s Stone (hiding from the escaped Troll) and Half-Blood Prince (Harry overhears Snape take the unbreakable vow).
---------
Within *Durham Cathedral* (built 1093-1133 in North-East England):
- The “Chapter House”: Professor McGonagall’s Transfiguration Classroom (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets),
- The “Cloisters”: used as Hogwarts Hallways, as well as the courtyard where Harry fly’s Hedwig in the snow and Ron vomits slugs (Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets),
- A room high up in the cathedral: was where Harry, Ron and Hermione met Fluffy the three-headed dog (Philosopher’s Stone).
---------
Within *Alnwick Castle, Northumberland* (mostly built between 1096-1150 in North-East England):
- The exterior was used to portray Hogwarts in both the Philosopher’s Stone (most notably where Madam Hooch teaches Quidditch to the first years), and the Chamber of Secrets (for example where Harry and Ron crash into the Whomping Willow).
---------
Within *Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire* (built 1590 in North-East England):
- The exterior was used as “Malfoy Manor” in the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 (along with the addition of spires).
---------
In the 18th century *landscaped gardens of Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire* (South-West England):
- A 300 year old Cedar of Lebanon tree: was used in the flashback sequence which showed young Snape being bullied by James Potter (Order of the Phoenix).
Wow, thank you for the comprehensive list! We’ll reference this during our next visit to the UK.
Durham cathedral is stunning
Pleased you got to have a very fleeting look at my lovely city (Durham). York is lovely too.
Got to agree - Dark Chocolate Brownies rule (especially if they are slightly undercooked). Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey.

Oh, really? We didn't realize that! Thanks
sences?

That tea looked so nice! What a fun experience :)
It was delightful!
Did you by any chance do a ghost walk at night while in York, if not I can recommend it to any other videos
We did not, but that sounds fun! I’m sure there are some great ghost to stories in York.
This snotty woman in Durham cathedral had issues with us taking photos. I said, “Strange you didn’t have the same objections when you were getting photos for your £10 guidebook. “
nice to see you guys got past he midlands most us citizens do not. its as if the uk finishes at bath

All in all it was a very comfortable and BEAUTIFUL road trip! Happy travels!
Lisa: Couple of points on driving: hire an automatic (most hire cars are manual gearbox) as driving on the opposite side of the road and British roads is stressful enough without coping as well with a gear shift. Buy petrol or diesel from supermarkets (most large supermarkets also sell fuel) as it's much cheaper than buying on motorways (freeways). Oh also, often you're given the option 'pay at pump or in kiosk'. If you choose to pay at the kiosk (with cash or a card), unlike the USA, you don't need to pay in advance. We trust drivers to pay!
@@nevillemason6791 Thanks for the help, Neville!
@@nevillemason6791 - we have CCTV for when you don't pay.
I live in York :)
Some scenes from Harry Potter were filmed at Durham cathedral.
Oh fun fact! We didn’t realize that. We love the Harry Potter series!
for someone that is religious that must of been great
i've lived in york my entire life, but for some reason it's so strange to see it on someone's vlog😂
21:12-21:21 First time I've heard of an underwater tunnel running between London and Paris. When was that constructed?
According to Wikipedia it began service in 1994. It’s called the Channel Tunnel (I think colloquially the “Chunnel”). It actually runs from Folkestone, England to Coquelles, France.
@@KeepGoingPlaces: Tell me something I don't know. Witnessed its opening and used it a number of times, the Channel Tunnel indeed runs between Folkstone (England) and Coquelles (France) and thus not an underwater tunnel running between London and Paris.
Oh, got it! Just being rude. 👍🏻
Omg some people..... you knew what was meant.
@@anghinetti Well done for making yourself look like a master jerk.
Your video quality is amazing. What camera are you using?
Thank you! When we filmed this video, we were using our older Nikon D3300 DSLR camera. We’ve since upgraded to a Sony mirror less camera.
@@KeepGoingPlaces thank you. your videos are so nicely done. i am researching moving from a dslr to a mirrorless as well. keep the vlogs coming!
14:50 from SRI Lanka ♥️
York’s hinterland is wealthier. I love Durham cathedral but the city isn’t as nice as York.
Er, has nobody told you that to drive while drinking is an offence? I don’t mean booze either! You need both hands on the wheel in GB. it’s not a freeway where nothing happens for miles.
Don't be silly, most people sip a can while driving here, take no notice of this do-gooder

@@rareads he’s true. It’s against the law.
'We just got done at York Minster, and it was just under £12 to get in per person, and we had a free tour'!!! No, you paid £12 per person and that included a tour LOL
Semantics are fun! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it!
The Minster took some 250 years to build!

Amazing grace is a true BRITISH song not american FYI
Amazing Grace (that saved a wretch like me”).....Attributed to John Newton, Commander of slave ships transporting slaves to the Caribbean and North America, he became converted to a deep Christianity, and became a leading light of the abolitionist movement in England
@@rampartranger7749 thanks
I can't help noticing that Americans measure distance in time rather than miles.
mike saunders Interesting! We definitely do prefer time over actual distance. Maybe it comes from dealing with traffic where time is more relevant than miles or km? Who knows! Interesting observation - thanks for watching!
@@KeepGoingPlaces I think the reason is that if you are driving from say Los Angeles to Denver and don't break the speed limit then time is a better measure than distance. In the UK, we say distance because even if the trip is only 10 miles it could take you 15 minutes or an hour an 15 minutes, depending on time of day, traffic, roadworks ect.
