This list has barely scratched the surface of brilliant, beautiful, interesting places to visit throughout the UK 🇬🇧
Dude just took a trip to Scotland
Of course Scotland also has incredible places. I'm not Welsh, and I've never been to Tenby, my suggestion was/is purely based on pictures 😊 Scotland is well known, and rightly popular, Wales tends to get overlooked a little. Hope Scotland lives/lived up to your expectations. Kind regards
Those white cliffs are the reason why before being called Britannia, it was called 'Albion'. This translates roughly to 'white land' because the very first thing travellers coming to 'Albion' saw were the white cliffs
Thanks for this, I've just learnt something new 😊
Aaah, as in Albino, damn, why oh why did I never made that connection
I live near the white chalk cliffs at the South Downs, Sussex. The Jurassic Coast is in Dorset. Americans have no idea about our beautiful places. You can visit anywhere if its out in the open. We have so many castles and palaces/mansions
Didn't know that, but it makes sens - I'd always assumed it was from Alba, the Gaelic name for Scotland.
@jamesdignanmusic2765 albino, probably from the root "albus - white (Latin)" hmm, there you go them
If you're surprised to see ONE working steam train, you'll be amazed to learn that the UK has DOZENS of heritage steam railways, and probably a couple of hundred operating steam locomotives, it's definitely a huge part of our culture.
Well considering the fact Britain invented the train, you'd hope so
The UK is home to over 4,000 castles, all in various states, ranging from scattered ruins and rubble to wonderfully restored and cared-for fortresses.
It's a bit of a shame the north of England seems to be entirely excluded, there are some amazing locations such as the beautiful national parks like the north Yorkshire moors, Peak District and Lake District, as well as some awesome historic towns and cities like York and Whitby.
York is missing? Seriously? *Rolls eyes*.
We have a very varied geology in Britain
I love geology. I try to follow
Profs.Iain Stewart (Scottish),
Nick Zentner (Washington State, USA) &
Shawn Wilsey, (Oregon, USA). 😊❤🖖
Lands End to John O’Groats is a 15 hour drive, basically south to north. He missed The Lake District which is very pretty.
Tyler, the White Cliffs are formed from dead sea life, shells, bones, and was all under the sea way back, that’s the sea bed. And we may have to pay a fee to enter castles, mansions and the Royal palaces but the land is kinda all free to roam. We have a Right to Roam’ law. Even in the National Parks.
The Uk has thousands of square miles of ‘the middle of nowhere’ imagine Braveheart or Wuthering Heights kind of description. And yes, you heard right, Arthur’s Seat is on the top of a volcano’s remains
I'm from Scotland Tyler. Watching your videos really makes me appreciate what we have here. It is so easy to take all the wonderful scenery and history for granted, but it truly is a wonderful country.
I go to Stonehenge every year for the Summer Solstice. Tyler the UK is as old as dirt so of course there are landscapes, castles, lakes, forests, beaches and everything inbetween.
I think Tyler, like many US citizens, struggles to grasp just how old this country is and how much history we have.
I live about 15 minutes from Cresswell Crags, where early man lived in the last ice age, 10,000-43,000 years ago. It contains the northernmost cave art in Europe. Plus, my local church is in the Domesday Book lol
North Wales is beautiful! Lots of hills and castles. Cornwall is great too. Lots of small, lovely villages and great beaches. If you come to the UK you’ll have to walk about
He mentioned so many beautiful places in the UK, and glad he got Wales, N. Ireland and Scotland in there too.
I’m from the Highlands of Scotland originally, and without sounding biased, it really is beautiful up north.
I’ve always said to people who want to visit the UK, yes, by all means, visit the big cities, but visiting the Highlands and West Coast is a must too!
It's just beautiful wherever you go (except Grimsby)
I'm London born originally but moved to Wales some 23 years ago, I hated the rural area as a teenager but now I'm older and possibly wiser I love just walking the rolling hills.
I definately need to visit Scotland though, did visit Edinbourgh earlier this year but only to visit my late fiance's sister overnight, didn't really see much. It's on my bucket list for sure!
I wonder if the 'narrators' pronunciation of Welsh and English places was as bad as his pronunciation of Scottish ones.
Does anyone really fall for these you won scams?
@@Cheezsoup can't really go wrong with Snowdon, other video's I've seen of Welsh places I just cringe
If anyone does fall for them scams then they've clearly got less brain cells than than a common garden slug
Scotland is such a beautiful country we travel around visiting the Isle of sky, lock Ness, Stirling, pit lochry and Edinburgh.
'Skye'...'Loch'@@Natalie-qu2ue
You should check out the isle of man especially the TT (tourist trophy) motorcycle race. Dubbed the most dangerous race in the world
Tyler, I'm following you from the Isle of Man. It's a lovely place to live. It's both a charming step back in time in time but hosts the famous TT motor cycle races (more than 100 years old annual race) and the UK space base.
The guy standing on the Old Man of Storr on Skye was Ryan himself. He does a fair bit of drone footage.
In Britain we have a 'right to roam'. There are thousands of footpaths that go all over the country, including farms and other private land. You won't get shot for trespass!
Thought "right to roam" was only Scotland.
Seems the 'law" is still called "right to roam" in England but it is restricted to "open accesss land".
@@Cheezsoup In England and Wales what it means in practise is you're not breaking the law unless you either pass signage stating there is no such right on the land, you cause damage in the process of entering (unintentional or accidental damage is relevant damage in this context), or you are asked to leave by the landowner or a lawful deputy (family member, someone who works there, etc) and refuse.
If you respect natural and man-made barriers, and signs, in practise there is a right to roam because anyone minded to fend people off of their land will fence/wall it off and have signs at the appropriate entrance points.
@@Cheezsoup Right to roam is all over Europe, although usually named something slightly different obviously.
@@Cheezsoup Only 20% of England has the right to roam, were as in Scotland it's 100% so long as you obey the privacy laws.
There remain some entitled, law-ignoring psychoes in Britain, so ask around.
'Byways' and paths are sometimes destroyed against the law, which is why the Rambler's Association exists.
Upholding the law like a thousand tiny wonderful humane Batmans...
The midges are flying insects, they are a pian at times,you can visit most castles in Uk ,some will charge an entrance fee , the steam train only runs April to October .❤.
Some reactors think Ryan is saying "midgets" but I'm sure "anti-midge spray" would work better than... ?!! 😊😅😂❤
Two big ones for the list, Bath and York. The Roman City of Bath is famous for it's Georgian Architecture. York is a good stop off between London and Edinburgh, on the East Coast Main Line. Stunning Cathedral, etc. Well worth a long week end and as a base for touring into Yorkshire.
Our coastal areas are completely open. I live in cornwall and you can walk pretty much the entire coast on the coastal paths. Apparently in the US u have to pay to take tours for places like this. Not here.. look up the ‘right to roam’ law. X
You don’t have to pay for walking on coastal areas in the US, some areas are privately owned and will have signs saying private property , no trespassing .
Yes and you can walk the ancient footpaths across private land without getting shot!!!!
Another question that is raised about Stonehenge:
The stones that make up Stonehenge came from Wales, how did they transport such massive stones the 138 miles from Pembroke to Salisbury plain?
I don't why people are still asking this, it was obviously aliens! 👽 😅
leverage and smooth stones as rollers. there's a guy on RUclips who moves massive blocks by himself.
They say now that they’re not from Wales. I live literally 5 mins from Stonehenge
only the smaller "blue stones" come from wales the bigger stones come from West Woods, on the edge of Wiltshire’s Marlborough Downs 40 mins away by car today. This is the newest information from English heritage since 2020
Only the sarson stones, not the whole thing.
I'm so happy he mentioned the Isle of Man, it's such a beautiful island. You should look up the Manx TT, a motorcycle race that takes place on the island and its winding roads. You'll get a sense of the islands beauty.
One of King Charles' titles is Lord of Man.
Just dont watch the Fast Show advert for the IOM Tourist Board beforehand lol... maybe after!
That's where the sorta first fossils were found by a lass and started the whole archaeology movement with regards to finding fossils/bones to study. She was the lass the old "She sells seashells on the seashore" poem or whatever it's meant to be
That lady (Mary somebody, I think ?) was at Lyme Regis, in Dorset, where she then started a museum for the fossils she discovered.❤😊🖖
Mary Anning was the fossil collector, dealer, and paleontologist who became known around the world for the discoveries she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis (in Dorset, Southwest England). Her findings contributed to enormous changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth...
Britain is lovely for walking a beautiful country. The Jurassic coast is Dorset. Lucky enough to live there 😊
The triple bridges of Devil's Bridge in Wales is very worth a visit . Try the steam train trip to the sea at Aberystwyth, too.
11:23 mostly! Although something like Peel Castle you probably have to pay to go in.
2 hours away is still a long drive away from London. The UK has all of these castles because of Norman Conquest of England under William, the Duke of Normandy. Every 11 year old gets taught this. The Battle of Hastings was fought on 14 October 1066 between the Norman-French army of William, the Duke of Normandy, and an English army under the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson. Everythng in the UK changed after 1066.
There’s places a lot further than 2 hours away in the uk
Very good video - I think I might have included the Lake District rather than having two spots taken by Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat. Loch Ness, Northumberland, York, Whitby, the Peak District and the Cotswolds are other places that spring to mind. Maybe limiting the list to 10 is too restrictive?
Limiting it to a top 100 would be too restrictive :)
Yes there are so many beautiful cities, towns, villages and natural wonders.
I would certainly agree with everything on your list. I'd add Chester, Nantwich, Jodrell Bank for example. I think the thing about the UK, and several other countries for that matter, is that there is so much variety in a relatively small area. The USA also has very varied landscape, but spread over a much larger area.
The Isle of Man has the oldest (or second oldest) parliament in the world, Tynwald, two chambers - the upper house is the Legislative Council and the lower house is the House of Keys....
The UK is the size of a large-ish US state (almost identical to Oregon or Colorado), so most places are only a few hours drive away from each other. Even to get from London to the north of Scotland only takes about nine or ten hours. The Jurassic coast is in Dorset, southwest England, and is one of the world's top fossil-hunting sites, as well as being very beautiful. You need to look up some videos about Wales and the Isle of Man! The rocks of the Giant's Causeway are volcanic - as they cooled they naturally formed hexagonal columns - the Devil's Tower in Wyoming formed the same way (there are no active volcanoes in the UK, but there are quite a few long-extinct ones). As for hiking, Britain also has public right of way - you can walk across farmland in many places as long as you keep on the footpaths. I was surprised Cornwall wasn't on the list, but there are dozens of fantastic places in the UK.
True - and they aren't ALL in the South and West!
@@TheRealRedAce FWIW I was going to add the Peak District and the Yorkshire Moors, but my comment was already too long!
Glen Coe and Ranoch Moor in Scotland takes some beating if you like your scenert rugged.
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 Cool. But there are a LOT of other places, Like Northumbrian coast, High Force, Gordale Scar etc.
Not Big Ben. That was Queen Elizabeth Tower. You can’t see Big Ben as that is a bell inside the tower.
I think you ran this video before.
Yes, you can go into nearly all sights in the UK.
Some are free, some you can access for free with your National Trust pass (I pay just £80 for the whole year), and a few you have to ring up beforehand to check that the owners will be in to take you round.
Driving ? -
Not all have car parks.
Some are very remote.
Some have a special place where the local bus can stop to take you to the station.
The first beach and castle you see in the Isle of Man is in a town called Peel.
I spent many of my childhood vacations on Peel Beach or exploring in Peel Castle.
All fantastic I've to most of these pĺaces apart from Ireland. The Isle of Skye is wonderful but there are nearly 800 other islands around Scotland to see and visit.
Take a look at Avebury and West Kennet too. More impressive than Stonehenge, as far as I'm concerned.
And the White Horses too!
(The Marlborough one was erm... interesting to say the least - if you know, you know!!) 😉😂
Avebury is lovely on a nice Sunmer day just lying on the green right in the middle of the standing stones. Its a beautiful place
@@SarahTheNearlyInSPthe white horse at uffington Oxfordshire is much older.
Im English living in Wiltshire, its got a lot of amazing places to go! And i second the Wales point, its often confused with being a smaller part of England by americans (highly offensive to Welsh people!) which is a shame as I find the Welsh people are among the friendliest and happiest people in the whole UK. The countryside is gorgeous in all the countries here, its all worth a visit
Diolch yn fawr!
Tyler is amusing but apparently has a memory like a sieve, 'cause in another reaction just 5 months ago ("10 AMAZING Places To Visit In England" ruclips.net/video/5h53OD0OQw0/видео.html ) he said: "Stonehenge... I feel like this should be embarrassing for me to admit, but I didn't realise Stonehenge was in England."
Or maybe he just pretends not to remember, for dramatic effect or to elicit comments like this that he'll probably never read but will boost his YT income? Personally I doubt he's genuinely interested enough for much of what he learns to make any lasting impression, so it's in one ear and out the other.
I thought he’d reacted to this before .
DONT MISS- North east Scotland Aberdeenshire! Did you know the Disney castle was inspired by a Scottish castle in abereeen called Craigivar Castle, with its iconic pink exterior. Newly refurbished in 2023 and now open to the public! Other AMAZING spots to visit- Braemar, Ballater, Aboyne, Aberlour.
So many of the UK's heritage or visitor attractions are free but there's also a lot you have to pay for, especially the better kept castles (most of the castles in ruins are free to visit). It's worth noting though, that most of the sights you pay to see, you're paying for the upkeep and conservation of the attraction so it's not necessarily for profit. We're just suckers for preserving history here and if tourism is the way we have to pay for it, then so be it. With that said, some of them are a bit on the pricey side for what they are. Edinburgh castle, for example, would cost the best part of 100 quid for 2 adults and 2 kids and the kids are definitely gonna be bored stiff after about the first 10 minutes of endless museum exhibits (I speak from experience)
Stonehenge is £30 a ticket, and over 1million people visit it per year.
Decades ago you could park your car at the side of the road and walk up to them. Where they had been for 1000’s of years, except for their renovations.
Having said they spend a lot of money on repairing the damage done to the land by visiting tourists. But they also encourage tourists with the £10million visitors centre and group discounts to tour companies bussing tourists over from London.
@@JarlGrimmToys Just go Avebury, it is so much better and larger. You can touch the stones and all you have to pay for is the parking fee
I can well remember when we could visit Stonehenge and many other such outside free. We still have most of our museums are free except for occasional special displays. Thats pretty good I think
After Gobeklitepe,the stonehenge stones or the callanish stones seem not too long go haha
It's incredible to know we have ruins so, so ancient, it's incredible
Eilean Donan Castle was in the film 'Highlander'. We grow up in medieval towns, with Roman walls, Abbeys and Castles. It is part of us. We don't take it for granted, we cherish it.
And Bonnie Prince Charlie. And Rob Roy. And The World Is Not Enough. And Elizabeth - The Golden Age. And quite a few other films too...
The right technical definition of the isle of Mann is ‘Another Offshore Tax Haven owned by the UK’.
The Isle of Skye always has lots of tourists (many of them Americans). You have to book a hotel or B&B on Skye about a year ahead as it is a top tourist destination.
‘Eilean Donan’ pronounced Yellan Dawnan. You can visit the Castle. There is a visitors centre and cafe. Again, firmly on the tourist map, along with Glenfinnan Viaduct and Edinburgh
Legend story of Finn McCool built the giants causeway (a raised road over low wet land) to cross from Ireland to battle his enemy Benandonner in Scotland. After the battle Benandonner smashed the causeway and those are the remaining rocks.
The white cliffs of Dover in Dover castle Windsor castle new forest and we got a lot of Heritage railways
Wrexham (North wales) also has a viaduct but not too far away it has an aqueduct (pontcysyllte aqueduct)
which you can walk along or take a canal boat over it. When walking along you can see the viaduct over in the distance along with the river that flows beneath and the valley mountain range. There is also a village not too far away called Llangollen (lan-goth-len) which has an old steam train which you can ride. Also wrexham seems to be on the uprise of tourism due to ryan Reynolds and Rob mcElhenny buying the football club and making the welcome to wrexham documentary
Did you notice how the video commentator pronounced Stonehenge as Stonehedge, Wales as Wells and that Snowdon was over 10000 METRES high, higher than Everest!
And Glenfinnan as Glen-feenan 😆
Holyrod, when its Holyrood!
I always wondered why these videos miss out Plymouth steps, surely important to Americans. AKA The Mayflower Steps are close to the site in the Barbican area of Plymouth, south-west England, from which the Pilgrims are believed to have finally left England aboard the Mayflower, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to settle in North America on 6 September 1620.
Well, this video certainly educated me. And I'm British.
Just try to not count on Ryan's pronunciations as even he says he gets things wrong re pronunciations !! (eg the Scilly Isles he calls "Skilly" and Westminister instead of Westminster etc). I cannot call him out on Scottish or Irish of Welsh names though because I don't know how to say them all myself !!
His photos are great though and worth those aerial views, if nothing else. 😊
In the Northern Ireland section, the footage of cliffs were the cliffs of Moher. These are not in Northern Ireland, they are in the Republic of Ireland, which is was was referred to as Southern Ireland. Northern Ireland does have it's own sea cliffs.
The Giants Causeway is a natural geological feature of approx. 40,000 basalt columns which is quite close to the Dark Hedges and the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge (pronounced Ka-rick-a-read). Our sea cliffs in this area are Fair Head near Ballycastle. You can see all 4, and much more, in 1 day.
Back in may I went to Scotland and done the train ride it had some fabulous views I live in wales and we also have fabulous views
On the steam locomotive topic, we have hundreds of working ones, like in York, the flying Scotsman does services for £100+
The ponies in Wales are Welsh Mountain ponies which roam across not only Snowdonia but the Brecon Brecons as well. I breed this hardy breed and they are one of the most popular of our native breeds all over the world including USA which import quite a few each year
The British Isles ! Coasts and beaches surround us totally !
13:40 - there are quite a few names of American states, cities and towns that are named after places in the UK! Hello New York, London, Belfast, Birmingham, even Bangor to name just a few!
The area around Stonehenge when leaving is truly amazing and as yet investigated
I sat on one of those cannons at the Eilean Donan Castle.
It starred in films such as Highlander, Loch Ness, Entrapment, Made of Honor, Elizabeth: the Golden Age, and the James Bond film, The World is not Enough.
Unique is an ABSOLUTE in itself and doesn't take degress of uniqe-uity. Something is either unique or it is not. Very Unique makes as much sense as slightly pregnant.
You need to check out the Channel Islands. I live in Guernsey and they are beautiful places.
Im often in the waters in a kayak or on a paddleboard around old harry and durdle door and its completely open to all. If you're skilled enough and the waves are nice you can paddle right between the massive stone columns. It's honestly humbling and awe inspiring.
Birmingham is pronounced Bur-ming-um
There are just so, so many wonderful places, that could justifiably be included on this list, Tyler. Arthur's Seat is not on the edge of Edinburgh by the way - it's in the middle of it...! History is everywhere - in buildings, landscapes, cultural traditions, accents and even industry, and agriculture. May I recommend www.youtube.com/@ScottishMunroJourney channel to you? There are pf course scores of similar channels where people who live here do exactly as you suggest, but the creator, James, does exceptional photography, in my opinion; on his mountain walks in Scotland.
Old Harry's best seen on foot if you fancy a trudge, or by boat if you have an amenable chum with a yacht; there are also several wee car parks, like Kimmeridge where you can park on the cliff top and walk down to the pebble beach. Durdle Door is another cliff top car park but be sure to pick a time which comes after a couple of dry weeks as its all grass there, and cars generally don't appreciate wet muddy grass!
there are no parking lots in britain, but there are lots of car parks.
They are the same thing, but have different names depending on what country you are in.
I live in North West England and on our local news channels the Isle of Man is included in topical coverage.
An American saying everything is so gigantic is very funny, thanks. The bugs he talked anout are Midgies tiny on mass blood sucking gits, in the West coast of Scotland they are shocking they can cover a leg and you wont see skin. Tea Tree oil puts them off and helps bights, i used to regularly get massicard by them but years of Morphine has changed my blood and they do not touch me know. Some Scots have very fine nets they cover there faces with, that bad.
Not Med eval STYLE it is Medevel. Edinburgh Castle is also built on a died volcano. New town in Edinburgh is stunning New is Georgian 150 years old plus is stunning.
That's interesting that you say you don't get bitten and it seems to be connected to opiate use. My partner gets bitten by every bug going but I never do, I take strong prescription codeine tablets due to a knackered back from old horse riding injuries, maybe that why I don't get bitten 🤷♀️
Sure it is, i was also on Ketamine for years, i know the world is full of very happy but forgetfull hourses in the world.@@tarantulagirl666
Let's hope all the housebuilding that is going to go on doesn't ruin too much
Only 6% of the UK is urban. Everything else open and green.
@@XMan-tu4iu won't be for much longer
Stonehenge is not really just the stone circle, adjacent there is a huge circle called Durrington Walls which originally had a Wood henge and living quarters for the itinerant workers who came to help build Stonehenge during the winter season when farming wasn't possible there would also be feasts,probably to celebrate the rebirth of th esun at winter solstice with people and animals from all over the UK even as far as Northern Scotland. There are also ancient burial Barrows within a short walk. It's a facinating place.
Avebury is far moe interesting.
@@alistairmilton6007 Possibly, I like both, but I thinkAvebury is spolit by the village and road imposing on it so that it has lost some of the magicespecially with all the bikers at the pub most weekends, th editch must have beenquite something when originally built/dug? I think though that I prefer the complex at Stonehenge and Durrington Walls with the evidence of the Woodhenge, workers accomodations and the Midwinter feasting to celebrate the Solstice (probably) it must have been one heck of a party and a sight to see. I also find the mortise and tenons keeping the capstones in place fascination as well as the buiders ability to ensure the levels of the rings.
And close to Glastonbury and its amazing Tor ❤
@@alistairmilton6007 I fully agree, I love the atmosphere within the great circle.
As well mas the Mortice and tenons, the capstones were absolutely level and horizontal, and that was without the benefit of spirit levels!!
We have got a lot of museums and art galleries And we got a lot of nice parks visit
Considering that the UK is roughly little bit bigger than the state of Missouri, and Iowa put together such a wide range of places to see.
You would love devil's bridge in mid Wales ☺️
The Jurassic Coast or the White Cliffs of Dover. The first thing you see when coming from France by ferry or boat. You'll often see ponies in many Welsh areas. You probably know the Isle of Man from the TT motorbike races. Middgies (Gnats). Capital cities : England- London, Scotland- Edinburgh, Wales- Cardiff, Northern Ireland- Belfast & Southern Ireland- Dublin.Hope this helps.
The young man in the video pronounced Holyrood wrong he said Holy-rod, It is pronounced Holly rude. York is a great city, as is Newcastle, Leeds, Whitby anywhere on the coast (we are an island)
One thing I would say to any American planning on visiting the UK, would be get your legs and feet working. We Brits are very fond of walking. That's why you questioned the lack of tourist, they do not go because it entails walking. A lot of the Castles have an entry fee but this pays for the upkeep of the Castle and staff, although most guides are volunteers. Besides Castle we have Palaces (yes there are more than Buckingham Palace) and Stately homes often open to the public by the resident Aristocratic families or by The National Trust.
A big difference between UK and US national parks is that in the uk they aren't a ring fenced plot of land that you have to pay to enter, they're living areas of land that people live and work in.
Come to Norwich. We have a castle built in 1068 and the UK first and largest open air market. I haven't lived there in a while but its an alright city to have grown up in. Lots of natural history.
I was in York a few years ago and overheard some Americans. Where saying do you want to get something to drink? They opted for Starbucks, but one said we always go to Starbucks. Let's go somewhere else. Yes, when you're in the uk, go to other locations.
You need to check out what we YORKSHIREMAN call "GODS COUNTRY!"
Or otherwise known as YORKSHIRE. I'm from South Yorkshire, Doncaster. It was here in Yorkshire where the Vikings decided to lay their roots and live alongside our natives. They were all along our north east coast from Northumberland, down through Yorkshire, which is also England's largest county, then through Lincolnshire to East Anglia.
Mount Snowden is 1085 metres high not 10085 metres which is much higher than Mount Everest!!
Then go to Lancashire - As the sign says "Like Yorkshire but nicer."
BTW, double decker buses are not exclusive to London, they are UK wide.
BTW BTW Snowden is not ten thousand and eighty five metres high, that would be bigger than Everest, it is one thousand and eighty five metres..
Arthur's Seat is the highest point of Holyrood Park which is situated entirely within the city, so offers a whole 360º panorama from the top. The park is crown owned, has its own police force, is really the back garden of Holyrood Palace, King's official Scottish residence and is fully open to the public, bar a section of the Radical Road which is closed at present over dithering around some rock stability on the crags above.
Eilean Donan castle is the castle at the beginning of the film "Highlander"
A friend of mine flew a helicopter through Durdle Door. I used to fly to see Old Harry's Rocks when I was a flight instructor.
All open public spaces ! Go where you like !
Beautiful places to visit in England, Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, Warwick Castle, Stratford upon Avon, Chester.
Nice places to visit within short drives of each other in the Peak District or Derbyshire Dales are Bolsover Castle, Hardwick Hall, Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Along with the villages of Matlock, Matlock Bath, Wirksworth, Stoney Middleton, Bakewell, Hathersage, the Blue John Cavern at Castleton, Ashbourne, the beautiful countryside around Lady Bower reservoir, the historic small village of Eyam and town of Buxton.
The city of York is must see place to visit. Other interesting places in North Yorkshire are Whitby, Skipton village and well preserved Skipton castle.
The Lake District villages of Kirkby Lonsdale, Keswick, Kendall, Bowness on Windermere and Ulverston.
Southern coastal villages of Appledore, Salcombe and Torquay in Devon.
I’ve been to a few of these when I went on a coach tour in northern island, the dark hedges and giants causeway - I loved it and would deffo go again someday! (It’s only a 20 min flight lol and I was all hyped for it)
If you ever visit Scotland I recommend visiting the Isle of Arran, aka Scotland in miniature, on the west coast of Scotland. Glencoe is always worth a visit, it’s a truly breathtaking landscape with some fairly tragic history - The Massacre of Glencoe.
two hours away means a lot - it can sometimes mean four hours away depending on traffic. we don't have the crazy straight highways you have in the US, we have long winding roads, roads that get blocked by sheep (Snake Pass as an example) farm traffic, general traffic build ups on all roads... don't take it as literal that something is just two hours away - if you travel at night, then maybe! also depends on the time of the year and the weather.
there are a ton of public footpaths. you should explore the 'trans pennine trail' - I live by a section of it made on what used to be a railway track called the 'deadline'. it's pretty and scenic. and that's the point - the scenery is more important and you can easily walk for hours and end up walking further than you thought you could.
for me though, the most breathtaking place I've ever visited, was Tebay service station - it's incredible! and it's got its own campsite. and that too is worth a look. it's so much more than what you think it is. it will blow your mind!
Durdle Door is in Dorset. I spent many holidays as a kid growing up in Dorset its beautiful place.
This was nice because he managed to get several places in for each location.
Have to add Northumberland, (Holy Is, Farne Islands for Puffin and birds) The Lake District, The Peak District. Cities like Bath and many many more. I think you love the lakes and northumblerland coast line. Steve
Great vlog, lot of the buildings are not medieval style they are actually medieval .
Midges in summer: have lots of insect repellent and cover yourself. Also, if you have fair skin, use a high sun protection factor cream - the rays can be deceptively strong, especially if they are being reflected from water as well.
The Quirang is awesome. I saw it first on my honeymoon, in pouring rain, and it was better than 30 years later in the sunshine. :-)
Sadly in the UK some of us can take all this for granted. I have lived in West Yorkshire for 20 years, just 10 minutes from Haworth or Bronte country as some call it (where the famous Bronte family lived) and I lived here for 15 years before I visited. I've spoken to Americans who have visited and I took it for granted.
