The Town in the UK Nobody Visits 🇬🇧

- I set out on a new adventure to show you the real side to the UK, a country full of characters and council estates. However, is there more to the UK than just this? I started my journey in Cornwall and ventured into a town you've probably never heard of called Cambourne. A small town which unfortunately has a bad reputation, but what was the town really like? Let's find out 🏴

Brilliant video, mate. The UK journey begins!! Wendall is a legend for showing you around, and sometimes, the biggest heroes are dressed as turkeys. Looking forward to more. You're getting better and better.
Legend! Cheers dude
Benjamin , This was a fun video for sure ! Thank you for talking to the locals . They all, including you have different accents ! I am from the SouthEast of the USA in Georgia , so I know people can hear our regional accents !
Good job on approaching and talking to the locals .
Do you know , that for at least a year I thought you were Mr Bald’s ( of Bald and Bankrupt) nephew ! I don’t know why Thought that ! 😂🤣
Amazing content as always mate. Safe journey and adventures to both of you
Appreciate it mate!
Nice video, looking forward to this series.
More to come! Cheers bro
God be with you always Ben the man. Lovely to see both of you again, with your friend Wendell. Your country is one of the greatest country, still cold on summer days and so neat. Stay safe Ben and Kat the lovely couple😊
Great video. I had a great time watching the video and I'm excited for more in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pasties were brought to the USA by the Cornish. Pasties were a staple for miners in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan back as far at the early to mid-1800s.
Ben is back! Hell yah!
Another great video Ben! Keep the content coming. 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Brilliant as always Ben. Absolutely love your videos!
Thanks a ton!
An absolute classic ❤ keep up the good work

Kat really adds to your videos! She’s a little ray of sunshine!
Yeah she's lovely definitely adds something positive to his vids
Awesome content, variety of Canborne locals, Turkey Man stood out, big heart.
Legend mate 👏🏼
Wow, what an incredible journey through the beautiful landscapes of Britain, from the charming Cornwall to the vibrant town of Cambourne! The video captured the essence of these places so well, taking us on a visual adventure filled with stunning scenery and hidden gems. I loved how the vlogger highlighted the unique cultural aspects and historical significance of each stop along the way. It's like I was right there exploring alongside them. Can't wait for more captivating vlogs like this!🫰
Glad you enjoyed it!

Love when you are hanging out with Kat! She is so funny and does cute stuff. Thanks for the tour, looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed!
The shot with the island ,,,the sky looked like a Turner painting for real. thx from Fla.
I was getting cold turkey from not having seen any new Backpacker Ben videos. What a treat to see this video drop today and doubly special with the awesome Cat
Cheers Tommy!
This was really cool. I enjoyed this every bit as much as your videos overseas
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the good vibes mate!
Nice to see a vlogger show us their home country,here's hoping others follow
Good to see you back mate
More to come! Thanks mate 👏🏼
Turkey Man is a character. Love that he is raising money for cancer. The irony wasn't lost on me that he announced this while smoking. Keep on, keeping on Turkey Man
Glad you doing a series there. Everyone is vlogging the same Country’s. Asia and South America. Go to the Lakes district in Cumbria. It’s beautiful there.
Appreciate you watching mate yeah UK is a land of content
Looking forward to this cheers Ben
Hi Ben, nice to see you back in the UK. Looking forward to what you will bring us on your UK tour.
Cheers my man! Few more vids to come
Welcome back amigo! 🍻
we have the same tent - excellent choice Ben - happy camping
Awesome! Thank you!
Loved this one
Ben and Kat great video love Britain love your Fraze mincing about and fair play 😁 looking forward to the next one subscriber Australia 💚
Glad you enjoyed it 😎🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very interesting, my grandfather was from Cambourne, he immigrated to the US in Oct. 1912 (six months after the Titanic) and landed at the famous Ellis Island. He came back for a visit in 1958 and 1971. He used Cornish words from time to time.
Bring an air mattress and a few tarps when you go car camping. Tuck the tarps under the edges of the tent so they do not pool water under the tent floor from water rolling off the tent. Do not lean things against the wall of the tent, or the rain will soak through.
Lived in Cornwall from 1966-1970 at a place near Newquay. Had some great summers there while my Dad flew Shackleton out of RAF St Mawgan. Lived at an old RAF base St Eval which was awful.
its good to see you making video's again
Hey, thanks 🙏🏼
Love the uk vids Ben! Can’t wait for US
Great to meet up and film mate 🙏
top man!
I haven't been to Camborne for about ten years, but it doesn't look like it's changed very much and at least it's not full of boarded up shops and litter everywhere. I think it's a former mining town, but it seems to have survived the closure of the copper mines quite well really. I've been to a lot worse places in the midlands and the north. You only pay the toll on the Tamar Bridge when going from Cornwall into Devon, so I guess you could always avoid that by going via Callington and Tavistock to get to Plymouth. I really enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about other places in the country 🙂.
love the people of cambourne haha. great start to a legendary series 🍻
Hello Ben and Kat! Love those Cornish Pasties!! ♥️ So happy to see you posting again! I really enjoyed this particular Vlog as my Mum was Scottish from Glasgow. Hoping to make it to the "Old Country" before too long!! ♥️♥️♥️😄😄😄😎👍👍👍😉Warm regards from the Allens here in Thailand!! 🐒🐘 🌴🐒🐘🌴
Glad you enjoyed it! I go Glasgow tomorrow 😎
So keen for the new vids! Ben I’m from Jersey Channel Islands. Please come to the islands one day and I’ll take you around Jersey! There’s so many stunning beaches and great sites. I’d love to show you.
Pity you can't tow it a thousand miles further south, then it might be alright.
I hope you are going to visit the east coast this time Ben. Enjoy your trip.
Great to see Kat! She makes the video --- as always. Richard in Reno
Visited Cornwall from Poland twice in 2019 - a week each time, used public transport only. Love the place. Nice towns, beautiful scenery, friendly people, strong community feel, plus stunning St. Michael's Mount. Didn't see any no-go places. Went through Camborne on the top of a double-decker. Had good weather most of the time. Got wallopped with heavy rain and wind on a coastal hike from Land's End, but it was a worthwhile experience.
Top experience 👏🏼😎
I like a Pole who uses the word Wallop. Come to Poznan sometime
Used public transport only?? That's absolutely insane. None of us use the public transport lol. It barely exists!
The Muppets Turrkeeeey guy ( As they said on the Muppets) plus Turkey, turkey, turkey was chased around with the meat clever then usually singing in a pot throwing all the onions and carrots everywhere. However this guy was really great its so nice seeing other people doing what they can to help out the less fortunate anď you Ben posting his information so others can also help was amazing. Goodluck can't wait for the next videos of Slum Life UK.
I will show this to all my friends here in Finland. Perfect promo for UK tourism.
Might put them off 😆
@@BackpackerBen LOL. The one positive thing mentioned was the good people and you proved it. Do more England. It's always mad lads everywhere. Hard places create real people. The places are typical and boring, but the people are not. Thanks! :)
Great new series
Cat and Ben FTW
Look forwards to the Trip Ben 👌
Few more vids to come mate! Thanks for watching
Turkey man is the epitome of not all hero's wear capes.
wow, great content!
Camping in Cornwall, I did it and what a night, pissed it down non stop ! Great video subscribed cheers
Subscribed to Turkey man. What a legend.
Enjoy St Helens and Liverpool on your journey ... Such awesome places ...
Sound mate
So fun...thanks for these UK vids with Kat.
Glad you like them!
u have a knack of making boring places look interesting and a few hidden gems ie Turkey Man... Excellent vid Ben thank u
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Been to St Michael's Mount about 20 years ago, tried to revisit in 2013 but due to strong winds the boats didn't operate and the tide was already coming in strong, so left it for another day and still not managed to make it by now 2023. Cornwall is special and St Michael's Mount is a gem in its crown, at least as I see it ))
I could definitely get down with a steak and potato pasty(ie)? Looks like a savory pot pie you eat with your hands. We have something similar, but sweet dessert pies, like lemon, apple, blueberry etc...
I am presently planning a trip through Great Britain. Good timing. I'll be watching your videos closely. I will stay in B & Bs. So please include along your way.
Do it mate. Good people here
Keep going Ben ❤
🙌
lol 20:49, Turkeyman dishing out quests
Anothe great video. Love your channel ♥
Glad you enjoy it!
I enjoyed this and i"m looking forward to the rest of this series. I haven't been to the UK in years. I always enjoyed the food when I was there. Cheers from Costa Rica 🇨🇷!
Glad you enjoyed it! and thanks for watching bro
@@BackpackerBenbread 🍞?
@@Breadonbread98yea lol british food😂
Love Your Videos Backpacker Ben I Have Been Watching Your Videos For Awhile 🙂Watching from New Brunswick Canada. 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
Top Video Ben ❤ Glad you've chosen England need to shine alight on what good people are here - Would love for you to come to Accrington and Film this old Historical Town. Anyways keep safe and GodBless.
Jacob from accrington
cheers mate! will try my best to film many places! currently in Sheffield
@@BackpackerBen hopefully this typical English weather turns Sunny for your Travels Pal 👍☀️😎
Do you still try and throw spoons at the moon in Accy?
@@carlspark2992 whaaaat? 🤣
@JDevlinAccySide I'll take that as a yes then 😉
Yeses finally Ben and Kat ❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely Cornwall and Devon ❤Getting there from London is special
Well done!
Did a long distance train journey from aberdeen to Penzance in one day in June. Its a beautiful country.
Great video, I go Cornwall twice a year , mostly the nicer parts to be honest lol but I'll give this town a go , looks interesting.
I get this strange deja vu feeling that I've seen this series before were Ben however was in the driver's seat, and someone else - can't recall whom - was sitting in the passenger seat narrating the trip the way Ben is doing in this one. What an utterly strange and surreal feeling it is watching this one!
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but bald and bankrupt had about an hour long video early this year of this same thing where Ben was driving lol
They did a uk roadtrip last year!
🤣🤣
I think I saw them somewhere rough in Scotland eating battered haggis.
Enjoyed that! Are you heading up the north west coast?
You mentioned a few times it was cold (during summer at that!?) around about 4:44, do you recall the approximate temperature?
Nice to see the subjects of the king are being so well taken care of.
Having lived in a rundown westcountry town, I can relate to the people of Camborne struggling to find anything good to say about it. It was a dismal existence and one I was happy to escape from.
It's wild that towns in the U.K. that are considered run down and dismal would be full of yuppies here in the U.S. and considered beacons of urban planning.
Going down hill mate
@@BackpackerBenGoing up Camborne Hill 😅
@@f.dmcintyre4666 Yeah I'd not been long out of school and couldn't get a job for shit. I wasn't a local after moving there with my family. All the jobs went to the locals and they weren't that great. I could see a bleak future. I moved back to Hampshire in 1993 and didn't look back. I've been working and living well since. It's probably OK for a holiday down that way but I wouldn't want to live there.
Good !
Great to see a new video from you guys, it's been too long! Even longer for Mr Bald .... What have you done with him???
Since you are going up north go to whitby, lindisfarne,lake district,Bamburgh castle heard good things about Bamburgh csstle,lindisfarne
Big thumbs up. And big respect to turkey man
i'd love to run to that sea & have a swim right now.. Good to see ya Ben & Kat x
cheers dude!
Its crazy the weather you have there. Its currently 100f (38c) where I live (new Orleans Louisiana) and its the middle of the night. Id love a nice chilly day. thanks for showing us around. Now I know why you travel so much... 😆😆
Depressing uk 🇬🇧 mate
Wow great video to day thanks
Hi Ben hope you enjoyed your time with Mr Wendall and of course hope we hope you enjoyed your time in CORNWALL
Absolutely loved it there as always
This video instead of a vlog turned into entertainment because this is the perfect view of a day in the life in the UK 🤣
The reality 😎
Ben, youre alive! lol yes!... as always amazing work talking to the camera. how did you get so good at talking to the camera?
Love your video 👍👍😃
on the way to scotland check out cannock in the cannock chase in staffordshire, the main high street isnt bad but the shopping centre is nearly abandoned if you go to its second floor
also the market there (market hall is abandoned) its a indoor market
I was just in Marazion a few weeks ago, damn wish I could have bumped into you! Love Cornwall, so much to see down there, like a whole other country.
I found you through Bald and Bankrupts channel. I always thought you were a fellow Janner! This video confirmed it.
Appreciate it mate!
I used to walk across the Tamar bridge from Plymouth to Cornwall... back when i lived there in the 70's..in truth there was hardly any traffic on the bridge back then
The Turkey Man is a legend ❤
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'd love to see your banter in Northern Ireland. My family is from County Mayo and always has negative things to say about it and I'd love to see a raw perspective about the place.
I’m going in 3 days 😎
One of the best videos
😎👌🏼
I might be wrong but Mr. Bald&Bankrupt looks slightly different this time.
As always, excellent content Ben!! I need subtitles for the guy in the Quiet Riot shirt at 14:40 !! some of the British accents are rough. I work at a British pub in Florida and sometimes I have no clue what they are saying! and by random chance I'm going to see Quiet Riot tomorrow night at Cocoa Beach!
Loooool brutal ain’t it 😂 wait until you see the Scottish accent
Which beach did you go to at the start? It looks beautifull
Ohh I really hope Ben comes to the Midlands! It's a bit grim but lots of characters
Next tour for sure
Yes we want to see Briran!
Great content Ben & Cat call in at Crewe on heading north Nantwich road edleston road and the town centre you will get some great footage and met to stars along the way !
Appreciate it mate!
Immigrants and knocking shops.
