Thanks, as a Yorkshireman I'm really happy you made it out of London, and even happier you landed in Yorkshire.. Unfortunately a lot of visitors don't bother to leave London and head up north.. I'm looking forward to your next instalment.. Cheers ✌️
I'm Canadian and I get to Yorkshire as often as I can. Last time, on the plane home, there were a whole bunch of people from Yorkshire who couldn't understand why I would leave Canada and go to Yorkshire. I guess the grass is greener. For me, I love the antiquities, the idea of walking where Romans and Vikings walked. The moors and dales are absolutely beautiful, and as was said here, the drystone walls go for miles.
@@matt36866 It's my favourite place to be, aside from where I live, of course. Last time I was there (Knaresborough), I got off the train, and thought to myself, "I'm home". No idea why I thought that. I'd only been there once before.
I like Eric's appreciation of the Moroccan food in the pub. The food in England, especially in pubs, has changed enormously in the past 50 years for the better.
Ooh, Windermere (and the Lake District in general) is wonderful! I've been there years ago, went swimming in one of the smaller lakes during the summer. And the north of England as a whole is just great; with all the rolling hills, small mountains, the old architecture in villages and towns, 19th-century industrial factories and other engineering feats like railbridges and large watermills, all the reservoirs and the pastures and farmfields with stone demarcations and the winding roads that go through them. Just lovely. The south's nice too, of course. And then further north there's Scotland which is simply a fantasy world.
I got the Robin Hood cartoon bit instantly as it was my favourite as a kid. Nice to see folk exploring the north of England. We tend to get forgotten or overlooked by pretty much everyone. A proud Yorkshireman
Loved the video , I found it very interesting from an American's perspective. So glad you left London and ventured into Yorkshire, it really is God's part of the UK with its beautiful meadows,villages,hamlets, and rolling hills. Skipton is pretty nice, myself and the wife have a friend we visit in Skipton now and again. Glad you enjoyed your step into the world of Yorkshire: Big thumbs up for the video 👍👍👍
The walls you’re talking about are called “dry stone walls”. There is no cement and they rely completely on gravity and clever placement to work. Some of them are hundreds and hundreds of years old, and it’s a criminal offence to remove any stones from the walls 🙂 hope this helps
It's interesting you mention the dry-stone walls around the UK which are held together by nothing because many of them can be dated back hundreds or even thousands of years. Once they've been put up, they pretty much stay there.
I love these guys - i am binging all these videos! It's great to see you trying everything and exploring so many different parts of our country. You're very positive people which is refreshing to see!
You two are lovely people with a sense of humour and the ability to enjoy life. Great that you got to Yorkshire and the Lake District, more to see than just Lomdon. Well done.
If you're in Yorkshire long enough you notice they still say 'thee' (Sit thee down.), 'thou' and 'yonder'. Also 'while' means until. Some years ago new notices at railway level crossings in Yorkshire had to be changed as the wording was confusing the locals: 'Stop here while lights flash'.
ive been waiting for this video forever since i saw you guys were in yorkshire on instagram. its so strange to see a small little slightly grim and barren place that i call home a place that you guys consider an adventure. it has really made me reassess, and be more grateful for the stark beauty that surrounds me =)
Lol, grim is Not what I think of when I think of Yorkshire. I'm an American (and especially as someone from Southern California), and Yorkshire, pretty much All of Northern England, is mainly what I would want to see if I ever get a chance to travel to England. It's So Pretty! =D
7:39- Hole in t' Wall. The "t" is silent but represents "the". "Hole in..Wall" Love your videos and I hope you'll both be able to do a return visit. Very glad you've explored more of England/Britain than just London. There's loads to see. Haste ye back...
They haven't been in England for 3 months. Lol, if you want to see where they are and what they're up to in real time, you should check out their social media stuffs! Eric's posts Something, a pic or a tweet about something they're doing in the location they're in, almost every day :))
Ahhh ok. So they film way in advance of posting. I thought the trees looked bare and it looked cold... it's pretty warm here now lol :) Oh well, thanks for letting me know... I will check out thier social media.
Yea, it's confusing to figure out where we are actually at, but our RUclips channel generally lags behind us by months. Video editing time and the rate at which we produce content get out of hand quite often, haha. -E
The Hole int wall is my favourite Pub in Bowness which is where you were Bowness in Windemere a pork pie isn't ( or shouldn't be ) processed Pork its pork mince with herbs and spices baked in a Hot Water Crust Pastry then filled with gelatine after its been baked The beer in the Hole is usually brilliant and the Park is the Lake District adjoined by the North Yorks Moors national park
I visit yorkshire a lot to visit my brother and i love the place. People friendly with great character everywhere you look. Northumberland is also well worth a visit. Stunning scenery and wall to wall history. More tourists should follow your example and leave london behind. Well done.
Hats off to you both....finally a vlog on ''off the beaten path" places!! After having travelled to 32 countries and seen all the boring and bad vlogs on capitals etc., it's nice to see this aspect of travel!! More please!!
Kyde chooses beer in exactly the right way look for the strongest ABV and just go for it, I'm glad you are enjoying our countryside and hope you get to experience our better and warmer weather too.
The Owl or Moose you heard are Collared Dove. Pork Pie, spiced pork shoulder in a hot water crust (yours probably needed longer in the oven ;)). The Moroccan lamb dish is a Tagine, the sweetness is dried Apricots. Great video again.
Great video, glad to see you are exploring real England, London is another country..... If are still in Yorks then try and get to Haworth and York, both a bit touristy but a must to go see.
Eleven : Eleven Zzzzz another thick northerner with a chip on their shoulder who doesn’t know London but loves to stick the boot in about things they don’t know.
A very refreshing video of tourists looking at the UK outside of just London. Loved it guys. Great Britain is: great scenery, great ale, great food and great people. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Look forward to more videos. The UK is a big little place.
Great video guys. I've lived in North Yorkshire my whole life and are glad that tourists are starting to realise that there's more to England than London. Good stuff. (Wood pigeon shooting) no Wolves in U.K. Anymore, sadly.
Good to see someone who looks away from just London also whitby (near where I live) is where Dracula came from although filled to the brim with tourists!
The drystone walls are generally found in northern England, while down in Dorset (in the south) we tend to have hedges. I love the drystone walls though, particularly when they are covered with moss as they look so picturesque.
You eat a pork pie with your hands. The jelly in the pie is called aspic. Its made from boiled pigs feet. The stock from that is aspic. The pie is always served cold because they warmth melts the aspec. Its delicious
Yay the lake district. That is the place I live. Well just north from the lakes in a place called carlisle. The lake district is my favourite place on earth.
Hi there.. the sound you could hear was not a Owel but a Wood Pigeon... It's a plumper type than the usual pigeon and it's diet is berries and seed's... The pies you had are pork pies yummy too... The butcher in Skipton just next to the Bridge over the canal have the best in the world might I say. Love your videos it's refreshing to live here in Skipton. your welcome here in Yorkshire anytime.
Eric - I grew up on the north western border between the midlands and the north. Most of us there thought of ourselves as northerners. A friend and I when we were 14 helped out an 85 year old man who may have been the last man in town to have gas lighting and no electricity. When we first met him we had almost zero idea what he was was saying even though he lived 400m up the road from us. He spoke Cheshire dialect. Think of the Cajun(?) stereotype your deep south. Bizarre stuff!
I live a mile or so from Skipton, this is really weird. You should check out the Keighley and Worth Valley railway which is nearby, it's one of the few places left with working old fashioned steam trains you can take a ride on. If I recall correctly it goes to Oxenhope which has a quaint village to explore.
That sounds awesome, but we will have to save it for next time as we aren't in the UK anymore. Btw, we have a video coming soon that was shot in Skipton Castle, keep an eye out! -E
Surely the most important thing is that you have your strong right hand on the steering wheel. You do change gear with your left hand but that is entirely secondary, I have driven on the left for 45 years and have no problems
We (the wife and I) haven't been to the Lake District in about 40 years. We live near a small lake in the USA. Lake Erie - you may of heard of it. About 350 miles long and 45 miles wide. To bad you didn't go through the Yorkshire Dales and Moors. Absolutely breath taking. As long as your at it drive up to Whitby, like we did last year. We stay in a village just west of York (Upper Poppleton). I've been to London 3 times - that was 2 times to many. I love the countryside and the little villages. When we go to the UK next summer I am planning a 10 trip around Scotland plus our 4 weeks in England. Enjoy and have a 99,,,,,,,, very Delish :) P.S. My wife is from England. That's why we go over from the USA every couple of years.
We actually did hit the Yorkshire Dales for a day with some friends, but as we were with friends we didn't make it a day to film. It was a wonderful day. -E
14:02 I cracked up so hard at this! I remember feeling the same way when I studied abroad in Liverpool. I thought England was a nice, safe choice for me when picking a country to study abroad in...after all, they speak English, right?! Nothing to worry about, right?!? lmao. It took me a loooong time to acclimate to the accent.
While you are in Skipton, visit the castle. Windermere is the most developed of the lakes - for example it's the only one to allow speedboats. There are amazing places to see if you further into the Lake District, particularly if you like hiking. For something not too hard, try going to Keswick and walk over Cat Bells.
That’s how I choose my beer too. You tasted some of my fave guilty foods too. A good pork pie is to die for, well baked with aspic jelly. And pork scratchings, omg, love them but I’ve never incorporated them into a meal. We normally snack them from the bag while drinking high ABV beers
Great video, regarding "Hole int' wall" the t is virtually silent, it is reduced to a slight pause right down in the windpipe. The bird noises were not owls, they were pigeons like those that landed on your head.
Gold, as always. Life’s been busy, but I still make it a point to watch your videos, albeit a little behind the curve. It’s so great to see you guys venturing off into new countries, though I’d never grow tired of your Asian travels. Anyway, just thought I’d offer another thank you for the years of entertainment. Here’s to many more, us growing old together in our own little way. Don’t stop! Woo!
Great video guys, I live in Shipley West Yorkshire (glad you pronounce Yorkshire right by the way👍) and have been to Skipton many times, you should visit the castle ruins there and Haworth in West Yorkshire where the Brontë sisters lived is worth a look too. By the way you do know that Windermere is in Cumbria a totally different county right?😁
We have a video from Skipton coming next week! Yea, I know Windermere isn't in Yorkshire, but most of our day was in Yorkshire and we needed to "brand" things so it made sense in the bigger picture of our series. Most people won't even notice, I'd bet, haha. -E
What you mean to say is you're from *Shipley* in *Bradford,* the *Bronte* sisters were born in *Thornton* in *Bradford,* and they spent most of their life in *Haworth* in *Keighley* in *Bradford.*
the best countryside is ashbourne such as tissington, Carsington waters is really nice. and a few other places around ashbourne and they have really good trekking places aswell.
I've been to Skipton too! :D It's lovely there, awesome little town. ^_^ The national park is called (funnily enough) the Lake District. And yeah, it's one of the major holiday locations in the UK. Mainly for the summer though, haha. Don't worry about getting lost in the woods: we hunted all of the wolves and bears to extinction in the middle ages, so there's no big dangerous wildlife in the UK anymore... Also, the bird you heard at 15:50 wasn't an owl, but a wood pigeon, you'll hear them everywhere in the countryside. XD
Its great that you visited the north to see what remains of true England. I'm originally from West Yorkshire and have lived In London for 20 years now. It amusing to me because I'm writing this during a lunch break from booking hotels for my upcoming fourth trip to Japan. I'm not sure If you visited Whitby or York but those are historic towns worth a view, especially Whitby where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula!
It's funny, I'm English and my left hand is totally redundant doing pretty much any task but it feels totally natural using a gear stick. I feel like if I now tried it with my right hand it would feel so wrong, like how you felt using your left hand. I didn't know Japan drove on the left side, that's pretty weird, I thought it was just us and some of our former colonies lol.
Loving the vid, and thanks to Eric I will now be looking for Sir Hiss to float on by with his balloon in the future videos. Have to admit that had me crying from laughter.
Only discovered you yesterday London vlogs. Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and the banter between you two really enjoyed watching even though I knew the buildings you were taking about still watched glad to see you out of London the Cotswolds are really beautiful. Keep up the good work guys subscribed.
The 'brick walls' are what we call 'Dry Stone Walling' and its quite a skill to build them. You left Yorkshire and got to Cumbria and its what we call 'The Lake District'. Which is also the name of the National Park. Lots of fantastic country up there so get some walking boots. The mountain with the snow is probably Helvellyn but there is a two higher peak nearby at Scafell Pike. Sowdon in Wales and Ben Nevis in Scotland are the only higher mountains. lots of history there as well. The world Water Speed record was taken there twice by Sir Donald Cambell on Lake Coniston. Sadly he was killed at over 300 mph on a later attempt. while in the area you must go on the Settle & Carlisle railway. Its an open railway and part of the normal network but probably one of the most awe inspiring 70 mile journeys in the UK. Many 'steam specials' are run along this route. You can get off the train along the route and go and explore - Ribblehead Viaduct is an absolute MUST SEE! www.settle-carlisle.co.uk/
The land is fenced (usually by natural buses) or walled off because of history. Land used to be either common (anyone could graze their sheep there) or divided into strips in feudal times worked by peasants. But then there was a big land grab instigated by parliament to kick peasants off the land and make for better agriculture. Called The Inclosure, it eventually made the industrial revolution possible and formed the larger towns. But every field was fenced off which is why from the air, England looks like a patchwork quilt. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclosure_Acts
The best pork pies come from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. The meat is NOT Spam but the best pies have salty jelly in them and what’s called “Hot water pastry”.
So glad to see you guys made it to the UK....of course you won't have time to see all the wonderful places in England, Scotland. Wales and Ireland but you can always come back and visit us again :-) I love all your videos, you inspire me to travel deeper into the countryside whenever I go anywhere. Adventure!
Thank you for another great video. Out of interest, when was this recorded? It looks like it was a little on the chilly side. I recommend Devon and Cornwall if you haven't been to the South West yet.
Come on down to The Westcountry. I think you'll love it, particularly now everything is becoming lush and green. Buuuut... I wouldn't recommend driving in the narrow country lanes in the properly rural areas of Devon or Cornwall - unless you like reversing half of the time to give way! :P
I'm a recent subscriber to these videos, I watch a lot of travel channels and RUclips recommended this one. I'm happy they did because it seems Kyde has the same attitude to alcohol as me, the stronger the better. Eric said he can't understand what my fellow English people are saying, I have the same problem with some strong American accents :)
I've rowed Windermere quite a few times one one end to to other, and worked in houses on in its banks, a few times. A lovely part of the world where you buy a beer a pork pie and clamber over slippy rock ;-)
My school was only about 60 miles away, so quite often we had Geography and sports lessons in the lakes, and went potholing, rock climbing, rowing, canoeing and a hell of a lot of walking. I'm sure i was there in February once on a Limestone pavement outcrop on top of some peak in February, in my school shorts and anorak, yes it can get cold, and Mountain rescue can be busy.
You're not far of lake Coniston where Donald Campbell broke the water speed record.at 403mph back in 1967. He died that day. In hid boat called bluebird
The lake district is beautiful. Also the pronunciation of that sign is... ha ha 'hole int wall' Yorkshire accent.😂 I have been to America also and found it amazing and the slight differences. So pleased you have seen London and the real England. Most of the country is quaint and friendly. Enjoy your travels guys.👏👏👏
The orignal name of "Hole in t'Wall" was "The New Hall Inn" and reportedly, the current name originated from the time before the pub was extend and the right hand side of the building housed a blacksmiths forge: The smith had a section of the wall knocked through to the pub, so that they could more directly offer him refreshment when he'd worked up a sweat from all that blacksmithing.
Kyde's courage with beers and ales is top notch... Choosing by %ABV is ballsy... Sometimes I choose by name... Orkney (a Scottish Isle) Skull Spliter Ale would be one that comes to mind... It's named after Thorfinn Einarsson the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney - it also has an 8.5% ABV ;)
You're next to Lake Windermere?! That's where Swallows and Amazons was set. Are you in the lake district? Also, don't assume that you can only find this in the north. There is less of it in the south but there is still a lot of countryside there.
Another sweet video. Kind of a shame you guys were here in Winter as our countryside is even more amazing in the Spring/Summer when everything turns green and lush. But totally 10 out of 10 for getting out there and exploring, experiencing and seeing as much as possible. 😊 Plenty of folks have commented already but just to reiterate, the birds calling were indeed Woodpigeon. A large native pigeon that is extremely common and not popular with farmers. Also, yes your pork pie looked pretty mediocre ha ha. I just adore pork pies, but they can vary from bland as hell to insanely yummy. Great, traditional acompliment for an ale in a historic country pub. Very British. It fills me with such joy seeing you enjoy Britain. Great choice of ale Kyde. 8.5% would give a decent punch and be flavoursome. I so wish I'd discovered your blogs or vlogs or whatever they are called when you were here as I'd so much like to have shown you round my part of Yorkshire, the East Riding or at least pointed you in the direction of some interesting places and beauty spots. Keep up the good work wherever you are now.
I enjoyed your observations and I like your vlogs and was eager to see your opinions on my home County. However you weren't actually exploring Yorkshire as The Lake District, .... bless it, is in Cumbria.
I really enjoy seeing my country through other people’s eyes. You notice things that we just so take for granted.
Thanks, as a Yorkshireman I'm really happy you made it out of London, and even happier you landed in Yorkshire.. Unfortunately a lot of visitors don't bother to leave London and head up north.. I'm looking forward to your next instalment.. Cheers ✌️

Great to see any travellers in UK who explore more that just London. Thank you
“It’s a national park about Lakes”
That would be The Lake District xD
(Also in a Yorkshire dialect the pub you visited is pronounced “Hole int wall”)

Some of them are hundreds and hundreds of years old, and it’s a criminal offence to remove any stones from the walls 🙂 hope this helps
Its funny seeing you eat that yogurt with a tea stirrer.
You stir your tea with a yogurt spoon?!
No we use a tea spoon, but the thing you ate that yogurt with was a plastic hot drink stirrer. lol
Boom!
**Bobario1* ~Oh, i think they were just taking the piss outta ya, there, luv ({; D ...!
It's interesting you mention the dry-stone walls around the UK which are held together by nothing because many of them can be dated back hundreds or even thousands of years. Once they've been put up, they pretty much stay there.
As a yorkshireman, so glad you enjoyed it here, hope we made you feel welcome
Windermere is in Cumbria and the Lake district. It's the next county up from Yorkshire.
I love how enthusiastic you guys are. Glad you enjoyed my country so much.
Good for u for getting out to other parts of the UK
I love these guys - i am binging all these videos! It's great to see you trying everything and exploring so many different parts of our country. You're very positive people which is refreshing to see!
Glad you are enjoying! Thank you! -E
Loved watching this! I'm from Sheffield in Yorkshire! Keep up the great content, love watching your videos
Thanks Sam! More on the way! -E
Im from Sheffield aswell
Sam Cooke leeds here mate
From Rotherham but live in Bournemouth now. Miss going out onto the Moors.
I'm from Huddersfield, but live in the USA. I really do miss going onto the moors to find a pub and have a pint.
You two are lovely people with a sense of humour and the ability to enjoy life. Great that you got to Yorkshire and the Lake District, more to see than just Lomdon. Well done.
Love that pronunciation correction at the beginning! So nice to see you visiting Yorkshire
Pork pie... best with either English mustard or Branston Pickles (I wouldn't recommend both).
If you're in Yorkshire long enough you notice they still say 'thee' (Sit thee down.), 'thou' and 'yonder'. Also 'while' means until. Some years ago new notices at railway level crossings in Yorkshire had to be changed as the wording was confusing the locals: 'Stop here while lights flash'.
ive been waiting for this video forever since i saw you guys were in yorkshire on instagram. its so strange to see a small little slightly grim and barren place that i call home a place that you guys consider an adventure. it has really made me reassess, and be more grateful for the stark beauty that surrounds me =)

GO TO AMBLESIDE!!!! Just along the lake coast... you'll love it, and then go for a hike up the mountain... awesome views.

That's a beautiful part of the country! Very beautiful with friendly people.

We are in Greece now, but we did hit up York! Videos coming later this month. -E
Mark Webb
London is like a zoo. Great to visit but you wouldn't want to live in one.
That pub has a No Dogs sign. That disqualifies it as a real English country pub. It looks like a tourist trap with all that bricabrac.
Eleven : Eleven
Zzzzz another thick northerner with a chip on their shoulder who doesn’t know London but loves to stick the boot in about things they don’t know.
I enjoy your opinions and prospective of place's
I find it interesting
A very refreshing video of tourists looking at the UK outside of just London. Loved it guys. Great Britain is: great scenery, great ale, great food and great people. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Look forward to more videos. The UK is a big little place.
You are right, there is a ton to explore! And with each season nearly everything deserves a return visit. -E
As I come from the north, its great to see tourists visiting the beautiful countryside in our country, you should come to Newcastle
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. There seems to be a million little places in the UK to explore. -E
@@kydeanderic if you ever go down south again definitely check out Norfolk, the canals are great an dyou can get boats rides on them
Great video guys. I've lived in North Yorkshire my whole life and are glad that tourists are starting to realise that there's more to England than London. Good stuff. (Wood pigeon shooting) no Wolves in U.K. Anymore, sadly.
Good to see someone who looks away from just London also whitby (near where I live) is where Dracula came from although filled to the brim with tourists!
The drystone walls are generally found in northern England, while down in Dorset (in the south) we tend to have hedges. I love the drystone walls though, particularly when they are covered with moss as they look so picturesque.
Having said that, nothing beats the Blackthorn hedging in Dorset, in the spring, when it is covered with white blossoms. Absolutely stunning!
We have stone field boundaries in Galicia, Spain too.
This is England!
The area with the lakes is called The Lake District.
haha I work in Skipton lovely to see some people explore outside London
Another great video. Thank you. Did you notice the nameplate on the seat in the Hole In T’ Wall? “Bullshit corner”! Lol, too funny. 😂
What a lovely video of northern England.
Skipton is not far from my hometown, just over the border. Beautiful scenery up there.
"Little lake", lol. Windermere is the largest lake in England! To we Brits, it's massive!
madalicex: Windermere isn't a lake....it's all in the name.
???
madalicex: What's with the question marks?
What's with the "...isn't a lake" comment???
madalicex: It's a mere. Only one lake in the Lake District: Bassenthwaite Lake - all others are either a mere, a tarn or a water.
You eat a pork pie with your hands. The jelly in the pie is called aspic. Its made from boiled pigs feet. The stock from that is aspic. The pie is always served cold because they warmth melts the aspec. Its delicious
Yay the lake district. That is the place I live. Well just north from the lakes in a place called carlisle. The lake district is my favourite place on earth.

I live a mile or so from Skipton, this is really weird. You should check out the Keighley and Worth Valley railway which is nearby, it's one of the few places left with working old fashioned steam trains you can take a ride on. If I recall correctly it goes to Oxenhope which has a quaint village to explore.
That sounds awesome, but we will have to save it for next time as we aren't in the UK anymore. Btw, we have a video coming soon that was shot in Skipton Castle, keep an eye out! -E
Surely the most important thing is that you have your strong right hand on the steering wheel.
You do change gear with your left hand but that is entirely secondary,
I have driven on the left for 45 years and have no problems
We (the wife and I) haven't been to the Lake District in about 40 years. We live near a small lake in the USA. Lake Erie - you may of heard of it. About 350 miles long and 45 miles wide.
To bad you didn't go through the Yorkshire Dales and Moors. Absolutely breath taking. As long as your at it drive up to Whitby, like we did last year. We stay in a village just west of York (Upper Poppleton). I've been to London 3 times - that was 2 times to many. I love the countryside and the little villages. When we go to the UK next summer I am planning a 10 trip around Scotland plus our 4 weeks in England.
Enjoy and have a 99,,,,,,,, very Delish :)
P.S. My wife is from England. That's why we go over from the USA every couple of years.
We actually did hit the Yorkshire Dales for a day with some friends, but as we were with friends we didn't make it a day to film. It was a wonderful day. -E
14:02 I cracked up so hard at this! I remember feeling the same way when I studied abroad in Liverpool. I thought England was a nice, safe choice for me when picking a country to study abroad in...after all, they speak English, right?! Nothing to worry about, right?!? lmao. It took me a loooong time to acclimate to the accent.
While you are in Skipton, visit the castle. Windermere is the most developed of the lakes - for example it's the only one to allow speedboats. There are amazing places to see if you further into the Lake District, particularly if you like hiking. For something not too hard, try going to Keswick and walk over Cat Bells.
Next weeks video is about Skipton castle!
That’s how I choose my beer too. You tasted some of my fave guilty foods too. A good pork pie is to die for, well baked with aspic jelly. And pork scratchings, omg, love them but I’ve never incorporated them into a meal. We normally snack them from the bag while drinking high ABV beers
Great video, regarding "Hole int' wall" the t is virtually silent, it is reduced to a slight pause right down in the windpipe. The bird noises were not owls, they were pigeons like those that landed on your head.
Gold, as always. Life’s been busy, but I still make it a point to watch your videos, albeit a little behind the curve. It’s so great to see you guys venturing off into new countries, though I’d never grow tired of your Asian travels. Anyway, just thought I’d offer another thank you for the years of entertainment. Here’s to many more, us growing old together in our own little way. Don’t stop! Woo!
Thanks so much! Glad you have been enjoying for so long! -E
Loving your videos. Going through your channel I can see you have plenty more. Hope you have a great time in England
Thanks! Yea, we have been making videos for quite a while now, haha. -E
Great video guys, I live in Shipley West Yorkshire (glad you pronounce Yorkshire right by the way👍) and have been to Skipton many times, you should visit the castle ruins there and Haworth in West Yorkshire where the Brontë sisters lived is worth a look too. By the way you do know that Windermere is in Cumbria a totally different county right?😁
We have a video from Skipton coming next week! Yea, I know Windermere isn't in Yorkshire, but most of our day was in Yorkshire and we needed to "brand" things so it made sense in the bigger picture of our series. Most people won't even notice, I'd bet, haha. -E
Kyde and Eric Don't worry, I don't think hardly anyone noticed the Windermere thing, close shave though 😜
**Mich W* ... ({; D ....!
What you mean to say is you're from *Shipley* in *Bradford,* the *Bronte* sisters were born in *Thornton* in *Bradford,* and they spent most of their life in *Haworth* in *Keighley* in *Bradford.*
There's a good video on You Tube of pensioners arguing inside a Shipley bus shelter. I'm from Baildon.
The bird calling was a woodpigeon - think someone else said it was a collared dove, which superficially sounds similar.
I appreciate tourist exploring different parts of the UK other then just London.
the best countryside is ashbourne such as tissington, Carsington waters is really nice. and a few other places around ashbourne and they have really good trekking places aswell.
I've been to Skipton too! :D It's lovely there, awesome little town. ^_^ The national park is called (funnily enough) the Lake District. And yeah, it's one of the major holiday locations in the UK. Mainly for the summer though, haha. Don't worry about getting lost in the woods: we hunted all of the wolves and bears to extinction in the middle ages, so there's no big dangerous wildlife in the UK anymore... Also, the bird you heard at 15:50 wasn't an owl, but a wood pigeon, you'll hear them everywhere in the countryside. XD
We have a video about Skipton castle on the way too!
Awesome! The toilets in the castle were pretty funny, if you know what I mean. XD (I won't spoil it if it's in the video). ;)
Its great that you visited the north to see what remains of true England.
I'm originally from West Yorkshire and have lived In London for 20 years now. It amusing to me because I'm writing this during a lunch break from booking hotels for my upcoming fourth trip to Japan.
I'm not sure If you visited Whitby or York but those are historic towns worth a view, especially Whitby where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula!
We did York! Videos coming later this month. Enjoy Japanland! -E
Woah you guys were in my neck of the woods!
Great exploration !.... I love the English countryside scenery !..... it's awesome ! (like it at #764) Greetings from USA !
You actually went to Cumbria which is a 'World Heritage Site' the most beautiful part of England.
so is North Norfolk
@@petejones7878 I wish people wouldn't advertise their part of the country as the best/most beautiful, etc. When they don't really know that!
Our homeland! If you need any information about the north of England let us know and we can help! We are from a town just outside of Manchester.
Thanks, but this was all shot in the winter, we are in Greece now! Haha.
your not in England ? Oh that a bit of a let down. I thought your travels were current
Video's title is "Exploring Yorkshire",and they drive to Cumbria :'D really nice video, though! Also, that bird you could hear was a wood pigeon :P
It's funny, I'm English and my left hand is totally redundant doing pretty much any task but it feels totally natural using a gear stick. I feel like if I now tried it with my right hand it would feel so wrong, like how you felt using your left hand. I didn't know Japan drove on the left side, that's pretty weird, I thought it was just us and some of our former colonies lol.
The national park with the lakes is imaginatively called The Lake District.
Try Wastwater, once voted the best kept secret of the lakes, moody and beautiful :-)
Loving the vid, and thanks to Eric I will now be looking for Sir Hiss to float on by with his balloon in the future videos. Have to admit that had me crying from laughter.
Only discovered you yesterday London vlogs. Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and the banter between you two really enjoyed watching even though I knew the buildings you were taking about still watched glad to see you out of London the Cotswolds are really beautiful. Keep up the good work guys subscribed.
Thanks, glad you found us and glad you enjoyed! -E
The 'brick walls' are what we call 'Dry Stone Walling' and its quite a skill to build them.
You left Yorkshire and got to Cumbria and its what we call 'The Lake District'. Which is also the name of the National Park. Lots of fantastic country up there so get some walking boots. The mountain with the snow is probably Helvellyn but there is a two higher peak nearby at Scafell Pike. Sowdon in Wales and Ben Nevis in Scotland are the only higher mountains. lots of history there as well. The world Water Speed record was taken there twice by Sir Donald Cambell on Lake Coniston. Sadly he was killed at over 300 mph on a later attempt.
while in the area you must go on the Settle & Carlisle railway. Its an open railway and part of the normal network but probably one of the most awe inspiring 70 mile journeys in the UK. Many 'steam specials' are run along this route. You can get off the train along the route and go and explore - Ribblehead Viaduct is an absolute MUST SEE!

The land is fenced (usually by natural buses) or walled off because of history. Land used to be either common (anyone could graze their sheep there) or divided into strips in feudal times worked by peasants. But then there was a big land grab instigated by parliament to kick peasants off the land and make for better agriculture. Called The Inclosure, it eventually made the industrial revolution possible and formed the larger towns. But every field was fenced off which is why from the air, England looks like a patchwork quilt. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclosure_Acts
You noticed the dry stone walls. Stones stacked on top of each other without cement. Some of them are hundreds of years old.
Go to Fountains Abbey (World Heritage Site) and maybe do the Park Run and go to Brihman Rocks which is close by.
Skipton is beautiful a very good choice as an alternative to a big city
I enjoyed this video so much I've watched it twice back to back you really like everything British this comes across so well
the lakes & the village look beautiful
The best pork pies come from Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. The meat is NOT Spam but the best pies have salty jelly in them and what’s called “Hot water pastry”.
As a matter of info , the Lake District is not in Yorkshire
No moose or wolves in England, but you may get savaged by a shrew. Watch out, they go for the throat.
Go to Scotland ... plenty of Wolfs & Lynxs .... unlike the English,we dont kill for fun. only control :)
RavenHeadInn what are you talking about? Haha
bessford he's basically saying "I hate the English"
Elfwald he's basically talking shite mate
The shrews Ive ripped from my jugular,by heck!
So glad to see you guys made it to the UK....of course you won't have time to see all the wonderful places in England, Scotland. Wales and Ireland but you can always come back and visit us again :-) I love all your videos, you inspire me to travel deeper into the countryside whenever I go anywhere. Adventure!
Thank you for another great video.
Out of interest, when was this recorded? It looks like it was a little on the chilly side.
I recommend Devon and Cornwall if you haven't been to the South West yet.
Shot in February, actually! It was quite cold!
Come on down to The Westcountry. I think you'll love it, particularly now everything is becoming lush and green. Buuuut... I wouldn't recommend driving in the narrow country lanes in the properly rural areas of Devon or Cornwall - unless you like reversing half of the time to give way! :P
I'm a recent subscriber to these videos, I watch a lot of travel channels and RUclips recommended this one. I'm happy they did because it seems Kyde has the same attitude to alcohol as me, the stronger the better. Eric said he can't understand what my fellow English people are saying, I have the same problem with some strong American accents :)
Haha, I can't understand strong British accents, but mostly I was fine. But Yea, some American accents can be tough too, even for Americans.
I've rowed Windermere quite a few times one one end to to other, and worked in houses on in its banks, a few times. A lovely part of the world where you buy a beer a pork pie and clamber over slippy rock ;-)
Wow, a row sounds nice. Was a bit too cold in February for it though, haha. -E
My school was only about 60 miles away, so quite often we had Geography and sports lessons in the lakes, and went potholing, rock climbing, rowing, canoeing and a hell of a lot of walking. I'm sure i was there in February once on a Limestone pavement outcrop on top of some peak in February, in my school shorts and anorak, yes it can get cold, and Mountain rescue can be busy.
You're not far of lake Coniston where Donald Campbell broke the water speed record.at 403mph back in 1967. He died that day. In hid boat called bluebird
The rocks were walking on were worn smooth by glaciers.
The lake district is beautiful. Also the pronunciation of that sign is... ha ha 'hole int wall' Yorkshire accent.😂 I have been to America also and found it amazing and the slight differences. So pleased you have seen London and the real England. Most of the country is quaint and friendly. Enjoy your travels guys.👏👏👏
The orignal name of "Hole in t'Wall" was "The New Hall Inn" and reportedly, the current name originated from the time before the pub was extend and the right hand side of the building housed a blacksmiths forge: The smith had a section of the wall knocked through to the pub, so that they could more directly offer him refreshment when he'd worked up a sweat from all that blacksmithing.
i just love kyde. Alcohol content, people, it's the only way to choose the correct beverage. SAME!!!
Windemere, I was there too once, twenty years ago ☺
Kyde's courage with beers and ales is top notch... Choosing by %ABV is ballsy...
Sometimes I choose by name... Orkney (a Scottish Isle) Skull Spliter Ale would be one that comes to mind...
It's named after Thorfinn Einarsson the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney - it also has an 8.5% ABV ;)
You're next to Lake Windermere?! That's where Swallows and Amazons was set. Are you in the lake district? Also, don't assume that you can only find this in the north. There is less of it in the south but there is still a lot of countryside there.
Another sweet video. Kind of a shame you guys were here in Winter as our countryside is even more amazing in the Spring/Summer when everything turns green and lush. But totally 10 out of 10 for getting out there and exploring, experiencing and seeing as much as possible. 😊
Plenty of folks have commented already but just to reiterate, the birds calling were indeed Woodpigeon. A large native pigeon that is extremely common and not popular with farmers.
Also, yes your pork pie looked pretty mediocre ha ha. I just adore pork pies, but they can vary from bland as hell to insanely yummy. Great, traditional acompliment for an ale in a historic country pub. Very British. It fills me with such joy seeing you enjoy Britain. Great choice of ale Kyde. 8.5% would give a decent punch and be flavoursome.
I so wish I'd discovered your blogs or vlogs or whatever they are called when you were here as I'd so much like to have shown you round my part of Yorkshire, the East Riding or at least pointed you in the direction of some interesting places and beauty spots.
Keep up the good work wherever you are now.
Luv you guys. You should check out Leeds market, Whitelocks and get a roast dinner from somewhere.
Adam Rushton whitelocks is very good
I enjoyed your observations and I like your vlogs and was eager to see your opinions on my home County. However you weren't actually exploring Yorkshire as The Lake District, .... bless it, is in Cumbria.
Wood pigeon - not owls. Quintessential English countryside :-) And yup, moss every wear. And yes, get the balloon snake reference - brilliant...
The Lake District, its one of the more well known country parks, if you have randomly chosen a green area to visit you've done well.
