I'm an American who has had the privilege of living here for 20 years, and I have been to most parts of this walk. To experience this physically is breathtaking, to say the least. The Lake District is my personal favourite part of the country but I have to tell you, there is so much to see and appreciate throughout the country.
Have you been to the shitholes that are real England though?
Considering you guys have Yosemite, Yellowstone etc. and millions of acres of forest, mountains and deserts it means a lot that you appreciate what we have.
Try the Peak District it’s beyond beautiful
@@daffyduck6582 Not bad up Rivington Pike as well.
Try Northumberland as well really nice up here
Guy walks into a toilet cubicle and encounters another guy sitting on the toilet eating couscous and just says "Alright, mate". The most English thing ever.
I can’t believe two American ladies led me to this guy’s walk. I live 40 miles from Robin Hood’s Bay and believe me when I write we Brits certainly do appreciate our countryside 🙏
That's why we leave our litter behind. We so appreciate our countryside.
Your reactions make me realise how fortunate we are to live in the UK.
I came to write this exact comment!
@anne-mariethompson4365 me too.
Funny how it takes people from another country to reopen our eyes to what we have. We get so caught up in work , we forget what we're working for.
@@dannydinneen1498 Absolutely.
Being an island nation I think the love of our coast is inbred into us.
I think you are spot on there 🙂
I am not sure about "inbred", although we can legally marry our cousins. I agree with your sentiment though.
@@tomsenior7405 😅😅
Sure is ....
Engeained not inbred ffs
Thank you for appreciating England's green and pleasant land. Great reaction 👍🏼
Our pleasure!
@TheNatashaDebbieShow As much as this is a beautiful part of England. You guys have some incredible nature and scenery in America. I remember going to Yosemite National park as well as The Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Mount Hood in Oregon, which is an 11'000 foot volcano. We dont have any mountain ranges anywhere near the size or elevation you guys have in America. Obviously the Western US states have more beautiful scenery in general. I think you guys said you lived in Ohio. This part ot England is the most rural and least densely populated. Once you get to Leeds and all the way down to Sheffield and Manchester it is extremely urbanised and built up whereas north of Leeds is very rural. You should also look at the spa towns of Ilkley and Harrogate which are on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. There is also a place called The Strid near an old 12th Century Monastary, which is part of the River Wharfe which is known as the most dangerous stretch of water in the World, you read that right. It has a 100% fatality rate and nobody who has ever swam in there has ever come out alive, apparently the heir to a royal died swimming in there in the 12th Century.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShowJust realised you did a reaction to Bolton Abbey and the Strid already lol!
Been a tough few days & settled down to watch this while it’s quiet. Honestly I loved it & shed a few tears, (which was probably needed). The video was so beautiful but it was your reactions that touched me so much. Thank you, keep up the great work 😊
That walk was pretty much across wild scenery, rocks , difficult terrain.
I think you ladies would appreciate more, the gentle scenery of many places,
this was a tough assignment !
People think the uk is so small you could walk from one end to the other in about 1 day when in actual fact it’s would take you about 2, 3 months to walk the whole 1,200 miles. It would take way over a year if you walk around the whole coast of the uk
Have you two ladies ever watched the documentaries about Hannah Hauxwell, and her solitary life on her farm in North Yorkshire? I think the two programs were called A Winter Too Long and A Winter Too Many. She lived for decades alone, running the farm she inherited from her parents with no electricity nor running water - simply awe-inspiring stuff.
To long a winter
@@lynnhyland4151 Hannah Hauxwell was a legend x
Oh yes these programmes about Hannah are a must for you both. Pleeeze watch. x
She was a wonderful brave woman, you won't believe what she had to put up with,and she always smiled.
@@lynnhyland4151 A unique and doughty woman!
Really liked this reaction, I'm English but now Australian. The right to walk in the countryside goes back hundreds of centuries. Great to see a young guy carrying on the tradition.
so you switched nationality?
@@AleahMartin961 I think you have to take Australian citizenship if you want to stay.
The right to access only goes back to the 19th century.
Are you sure? Even one hundred centuries is ten thousand years.
@@kennethfishwick4061 pedantic comment of the day goes to you. Won't lie I also thought it for a second.
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England … John Gaunt Richard III by Shakespere
Just a minor correction: this inspiring speech is from Shakespeare's "Richard II" (not III).
The last line is always missed off. "..... has now sold out, I do denounce it".
And why not? I like it better without.
There is something so beautiful about just those words "this sceptred Isle" .
@@twoofsix3b3g If you read the 1320 Scottish Declaration of Independence (Arbroath), it explains that phrase.
Probably my most patriotic piece of prose, by the immortal Will Shakespeare of course.
I would absolutely love to see a video where you two came over and experienced some of the UK for yourselves. I’m UK born and bread and I feel privileged to live here. It really is as amazing as you imagine. Another great video. Thank you xx
Bred not bread.
For such a small island, God has blessed us with some of the most beautiful landscapes on this planet. when i see videos like this, it really make me very proud to be British. I really hope you both get the chance to see God's own Country.. Many thanks you both for the awesome content. I love watching your reaction to things that just seem normal. Keep up the awesome videos.
Getting away from all the superficial BS and walking in this environment is so good for the soul. Beautiful 😍
It really is!
Personally , I consider it essential.

Yes the British countryside is beautiful . I live in Wales and as you may know we do get a lot of rain here . In the spring. After two or three days rain . When the sun comes out , the grass is such a bright green , it hurts your eyes.
Given how much you enjoyed this you will have to look at a video of someone doing Lands End to John o’Groats (1200 miles from Cornwall to the north of Scotland). You would probably also like the relatively short (84 miles)but both very scenic and historic Hadrian’s wall walk from Newcastle to Carlisle.
I love those sorts of walks, but I, like you, am not really capable of doing them now. I must admit that my favourite place in the world is either Zion National park - so in your back yard - (but the off the beaten path bits) or Fjordland in New Zealand. This is the one I wanted to do, but I don't think my knees would stand up to it now :- ruclips.net/video/w8YkXEdr9Ns/видео.html&ab_channel=SetToHike
you talk about your British ancestry, have you done a DNA test. I did mine and found that I am English through and through with 90% or more of my DNA from S-E England
It's beautiful and, possibly uniquely, very accessible. There is the footpath network and the Right to Roam laws which allows anybody to (with common sense applied) access such land. Plus the climate isn't as intimidating as some countries. Perfect playground for those wanting to ramble!
I did NOT intend to watch this but I loved watching it with two beautiful humans. Than you for inspiring me to get out into my own country! I'm depressed and at a loss and think a walk like this might just be the tonic.
Thank you ladies
God Bless!
☦🙏🏼🇬🇧♥🇺🇸
Definitely get out and breath the air and take in the sounds and sights, its great for the mind and soul ❤
Never occurred to me that not everyone is super accustomed to seeing dry stone walls everywhere! On top of looking pretty and being hard-wearing they're actually really important habitats for a lot of smaller creatures here in the uk, including small lizards, lots of insects, and even some small birds! It's lovely to sit on a sunny day and watch who might appear from dry stone walls!
One thing I have noticed is their design varies around the country, as well as, obviously, the stone used. Yorkshire is different to Derbyshire is different to Cotswolds.
@@TryptychUK Also, It makes you really think that the stones used in dry stone walling have all been gathered from the surrounding land, and have been there for thousands of years. It's difficult to grasp the enormity of it, when you realise that the stones in dry stone walls in, for example Cumbria, have been there since the Glaciers retreated up to 2 million years ago.
@@DaveBartlett Along with skilled techniques to build them have been passed down too.
King Charles likes building Stone Walls. There is a film of him building one when he was Prince Charles. He seemed very happy and contented when working on one of his farms.
@@iriscollins7583 As a young lad, I befriended a farmer in Derbyshire that I helped out and he showed me how to repair broken walls. It's not a job you can do in a hurry, but it's a wonderful experience.
I have done this twice in my lifetime. The scenery is fantastic and the peace and quiet is incredible.
That's amazing 👏🏻
England is as beautiful as Scotland, Wales & Ireland in its own way. I would not give up my England, my Yorkshire for anything. Thank You for appreciating my country & county girls. Check out Scarborough on the East Yorkshire coast. Simon & Garfunkel sang about it. ❤🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
I spent years wondering what Sagerose was and who Mary Ann Thyme was.
Hi Girls! Love your videos……..I am a transplanted Brit’ in Canada, I am also in my 80s, some what controlled by my arthritis and unlikely to get to England again. So I really enjoy your videos exploring Britain. It is great seeing it through your eyes,you are so right,the country is still beautiful. Well other countries are beautiful,in fact this is a jewel of a planet that we humans seem hell bent on destroying. So glad you are exploring the North of Britain, reaching out of London. So many N.Americans I meet, have had a visit to London and think they have seen Britain. I am not trying to insult London, it is great with so many national treasures but to me a northerner, I don’t really think of it as England…..it is it’s own thing. So just loved this particular video. Thanks so much for showing it and please, I hope fans of your site will recommend more.
@@ianpark1805 😆 Its about thyme you learned your herbs. 👍
@@ianpark1805 What about parsley? 😉
@@utha2665 He's in the garden 🙂
Wainwright is something of a hillwalking legend; his hand written and drawn guides are a thing of beauty and he basically spent his weekends meticulously exploring the hills of the Lake District.
I cycled this route for charity about 12 years ago.
I'd been training for a year beforehand though, but for good reason - I was wiped out by a 3 ton van that hit me from behind. After my recovery, I had to get back on a bike ASAP. I began training again but discovered I had ptsd from the aforementioned incident. This took some getting over, so I trained off-road for a few months before getting confidence to go back onto the road. I was doing 100+ miles in a single ride within months, and that was when I chose to do it for raising money for charities such as a local palliative care unit, the air ambulance and local paramedics.
A month after completing the Coast2Coast, I did Land's End to John o'Groats. That was crazy!! I could barely walk for a week afterwards, but the places I saw along the way will stay with me forever, and to have to raised a lot of money for good causes in the process, some of the proudest and memorable moments of my life.
If I'm ever feeling low, I get out there on bike or just on foot. Ramble. Pick a path I haven't travelled before and just follow it. It's meditation. It's soul soothing. Getting out into the wild is a natural antidepressant.
The sad thing is there is people that live in this country their whole lives and they'll never experience these beautiful places because it's taken for granted. I'm 45 years old and I've only ever had one holiday outside of the U.K. I always said that I don't feel the need to go elsewhere until I've experienced and appreciated all the beauty on my doorstep
Steve my late husband had a touring holiday in Scotland. We stayed at Loch lomond at a bband the lady hD travelled the world told us all about itveen to Nepal wtc.when we wanted to go further north we asked her long does it take to drive to Ullapool. She said I don't know never been there.
Such a lovely reaction ladies and I’m as stunned by the raw beauty of the changing country side . I’m 63 yrs old and sadly have never visited any of these areas . I think so many brits just don’t appreciate what is on our own doorstep. Mined you if everyone visited these areas regularly they would soon become spoiled so perhaps it better they are kept a secret
Just too much to see in the UK and Ireland . I have only left the British Isles once. I still haven't seen it all in 75 years.
And the FREEDOM of access.
annoys me when people visit the United Kingdom and just stay in London (YAWN) thinking that is all there is. the culture and scenary changes once outside the capital. even accents change. Northern England is fascinating. west country is nice. wales is astonishing, The Antrim coast of Northern Ireland and the beauty of Scotland and of course the Emerald isle is enchanting. i wish people would get out of London, you've seen Big Ben now move on!
My Brother has cycled that northern C2C route. Him and one of his friends met this female cyclist who had been left behind by her group (apparantly they had some emergency and had to leave), and this girl was a tad lost and not sure how to go on from the middle of that route. My Bro and his mate appointed themselves her guardians, and they went the rest of the way together. She called them her 'knights'.
Thank Heavens for your brother and his friend. In medieval days gone by a damsel might encounter knights in shinning amour on horseback but I'm sure that young lady was immensely grateful to happen upon two modern day knights astride mountain bikes! Chivalry is still a wonderful thing iny book! 👏
The c2c route passes my cottage, I often give directions to cyclists.
I've done the c2c twice to raise money for a local charity, takes 3 days on a bike, but the views you see are spectacular, not something you see every day, great video ❤
I've cycled it and walked it too. I recon it's not as good as the Pennine way which I have done 4 times
Liams walking videos are utterly spectacular. He's walked from the whole length of the UK. I don't think there's anywhere in the UK he hasn't walked. His walks in Europe are great too.
Always love how interested in, and respectful of, Britain you girls are. Right back at you.
Wow girls.This was beautiful.I cried!I've had 2 years of cancer treatment,mostly at home.But this?This reminded me of what I've been missing,and what I have to look forward to at the end of a long recovery.Ive not done the walk,but I have seen some of these places,and Robin Hoods Bay is one of my favourite places in the world.
This has really made my day...thankyou xx
You have to read “The Offing”. A young guy just walking and ends up at Robin Hood Bay. Beautiful.
Really hope you get well enough to do at least part of it because it is awsome ....another good one is The Pennine Way. Best wishes for a speedy recovery x
The piles of stones are called cairns and are used to mark a path / boundary etc. Small ones, like at the beginning are often made by hikers and you add a stone to them as a “Natasha & Debbie were here” kind of thing without vandalising the nature 😊
Yep. I started one when I was on holiday up on Alston moor. That was about 9 years ago and every time I go back I add onto it and take a picture. I haven’t been for 3 years but I’m going up in May for a couple of days! So I will have to go and see if there has been anything added to it! Apart from some moss ❤
Some are graves as well
@@Mulberry2000 like Dobby’s?
My partner and her 70-odd year old dad did this walk a few years ago.
It's interesting - I've seen a few American reactions to UK walks and they're all surprised that it's normal here to walk through a farm, even a farm yard, as part of a walk. The public footpath network here is huge. The right to roam was hard fought and cherished.
My grandfathers pig farm in Cambridgeshire had a public footpath run straight past the house!, don't think it was ever a problem.
That’s right there’s a detailed account of the fight in courts with landowners to allow city people access to the country.
Sadly though a small minority abuse it not keeping proper control of they're dog's which attack farm animals. As well as leaving they're litter behind and wild camping wherever they like.
@@Justabitnosey It is a very small percentages of arseholes. Litter sucks in beautiful places. Dogs off leads are dicks. The benefits out weigh the problems generally
You must have some great countryside in the USA too.
It's easy for us here to take our countryside and landscapes for granted. I live close to the Peak District and visit The North of Scotland, North Wales and North Yorkshire regularly. Sometimes it helps to see things though the eyes of another to fully appreciate them.
We live in St Bees. We’re a bit out of the way but feel free to visit when you make it over to the UK. In addition to the stunning countryside of the Lake District the neighbouring Georgian town of Whitehaven also has the claim to fame of being the only part of Britain attacked during the American war of independence.
Hi in St Bees, I’m in Workington!
That John Paul Jones has a lot to answer for!
Hiya Andrew, I used to live in St Bees, Me, my Mam and Dad used to work for Tom Milburn at Seacote Hotel and Seacote Park,
@@katherinewilliams2676 Hiya Kathrine, I'm from Whitehaven
I think we should appreciate how many times he had to setup the camera, walk past it, then have to walk back again to collect it, as well as take time out for the drone shots.
A few years ago my brother in law and I walked Hadrians Wall, the Roman defences built nearly 2000 years ago. The walk takes you from Newcastle on the East Coast (Wallsend in fact) to Bowness on Solway on the West Coast. Approximately 84 miles, we completed it in 5 days, camping each night. Stunning countryside, fascinating history and a fabulous way to spend week. I'm sure you'll find some videos about Hadrians Wall to react to.
I’m so pleased you love our beautiful country. Even better is the people in the north are just the most friendly and warm folk you are ever likely to meet. Come on over!
Hello ladies from the wilds of Central Qld Australia. Yes the countryside of the UK is truly stunningly beautiful & usually oh so green. Whitby has a special significance to Aussies as this was the birth place & beginning of the magnificent career of Lieutentant (later Captain) James Cook, the dude credited with "discovering" Australia in the converted shallow hulled ex coal carting barque "The Endeavour". He came oh so close to coming to grief on our Great Barrier Reef when he ran aground on the reef that now bears his name. He used a rare & little used naval technique called fothering which was basically using a sail to wrap around & under the ship to plug up the hole & limping to a safe harbour to repair the damage. The place where he conducted repairs is still (in English) called Cooktown & the river called The Endeavor River
Sorry, but Captain James Cook wasn't born in Whitby, although it was an important place in his life and eventual seafaring career.
He was born 30 odd miles away in Marton, which is now a suburb of Middlesbrough, so he is a Boro lad.
I used to live in Endeavour Hills in Melbourne as a wee kiddy. My Godmother is still over there residing in Noble Park. Myself & my family moved back to the UK as something very mysterious in Australia was causing me immense illness. The Aussie doctors couldn't get to the cause of why & suggested that there must be something in Australia my body couldn't deal with & so their recommendation was to pack up & return to the UK to see if my health improved. I soon recovered being back in my homeland of England 🇬🇧🏳️🌈❤️
@@georgeflanagan5201 thanks so much for the correction. I should have done a quick Google search before responding but was so sure of myself I didn't bother. His early life is a bit hazy but boy oh boy what an amazing career. His maps were so accurate that until a few years ago they were still in use
Love this guy. He used to be in the British Army and I used to follow him on his earlier military videos to get me prepared for when I joined 😃
We saw a glimpse of that and certainly plan to react to one soon!
This is a very popular walk. I did it myself about 15 years ago. I also wild camped but I never set myself a daily distance target. It's a great walk to de-stress, relax and forget your problems. Some days I barely walked at all but just sat and relaxed. In total it took me 15 or 16 days.
I have been planning 3 months to do the coast to coast then up into Scotland and the coast and highlands . I think April to July would be perfect .
Some pals and I had a similar attitude to a Scottish coast to coast walk - Knoydart to Stonehaven - once
upon a time. Great walking and some wonderful views along the way.
Funnily enough I served with him in the Army he was a chef and I was in the infantry he’s a top guy to be fair nice lad
Sharing this with you gals is one of the best times I've had in a while. Hill walking in England or any part of the UK is so magical as you get a different vista with every few steps, and the way the light falls changes every perspective. Really appreciate your reaction. ❤🇬🇧 from Lancashire.
This is absolutely incredible to see and thank you ♥️
The North Cornish coastline is its wild and rugged at times but so beautiful. It's so full of history. I think you would love the history and scenery around the Cornish Coast line.
yes, I think so too... 👍
This is my home. Even after 35 years, every walk will gift you something that never gets old
I've lived on the coast in north Yorkshire my whole life and I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I never miss an opportunity to tell visitors about all the amazing places to visit. I'm glad you both liked the film and the countryside. There's nothing like actually being immersed in it though, you must visit, it'll knock your socks off.😊
The reaction reminds me of working with an American army Captain, on his first tour of duty in the UK. He was posted on a station in the 'Home Counties'. He could not get over how green everything was, mind you, he was from Arizona 😉
To be so young and so aware of your place in the world and what is important and what is not, is a wonderous and marvellous thing... Fare well young man, fare well!
The English countryside is breathtaking, the varied weather helps too, everything looks so green and fresh.
The Lake District national Park, North West England is outstandingly beautiful.
Just beautiful! I didn't expect the mtn. Ranges in the beginning..it makes me want too go to UK even more!! Stunning to say the least!
Even though our mountains are not that high our northerly latitude and ranges exposure to the prevailing weather off the Atlantic can make them very challenging.
Such breathtaking scenery. I loved hearing the nature sounds in the background. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank YOU for watching! ❤️
I hiked the Coast to Coast solo in 1985 and then did it again with my American buddy in 1993 . . . possibly the best long distance hiking trail in the world.
I think what it is, despite how awe inspiring the British countryside is, we get Blasé about the beautiful scenery and do not appreciate the scenery until people like yourselves comment on it. I love it! I feel proud when two US citizens love our British countryside. Keep up the great videos. Look forward to your next video.
I live in the Cotswolds, which has that classic English "Chocolate Box" look. I suppose one does get used to it somewhat, but I never tire of it and feel privileged to live here.
Love that you love our countryside 😁 but all I was thinking was how many times he had to double back to get his camera and also carrying his drone as well hats off to him. 🇬🇧🇺🇲X
Exactly! As a former full-time Photographer (Natasha) was cringing at how many extra miles he had to walk just for that!
I was thinking the same thing 😅
Young people in the UK and US get a bad press, so fairplay to this young man he's a credit to his generation.
100% agree
I love my country and I love the countryside,honored to be English and living here your right beautiful
I don't often write second comments but I am so happy you both loved this video and just wanted to say as mentioned in my first comment, that a few miles down the road from St Bees are La'al Ratty (Ravensglass to Eskdale). A mini steam train service which I have added a brief clip to show you how accessible it is to be part of the beautiful and stunning scenery and a taste of Muncaster Castle, with it's Owl and Birds of Prey Centre.

Hope you will be able to visit one day!
Thanks for those, Susan. Beautiful! X
Not to mention another few miles from Eskdale is the really well preserved remains of a roman fort.
@@warailawildrunner5300 That's right, the Western Lakes holds a lot of history and beautiful scenery.
Liam is a great video maker, his videos are so relaxing and you do feel you are living his journey.
do you know his channel name please?
Liam Brown
@@WeekendWildling thank you
Incredible reacting skills. Even here in the UK, the craze of filming yourself smiling and nodding while watching the TV has caught on, but here they make the mistake of also trying to meaningfully discuss it as well. Far better to just let the film run and make an insightful, 'It's beautiful' comment and then just go back to smiling and nodding. I reckon that must be a lot harder than it looks. Bravo!
HI GUYS I'm originally from the South of England and even there there are nice places to walk. One year I spent a week walking around the Isle of Wight staying in Youth Hostels. Another time I walked and wild camped on the Ridgeway trail. It is one of the oldest trails in England having been walked by the Ironage people who lived there. There are several Ironage forts and burial mounds along the way, and the spectacular Uffington White Horse, Which has been cut into the chalk hillside and can be seen for many miles.
I now live in Telford Shropshire and there are many opportunities to walk in the countryside here.The South Shropshire Hills are great on a clear day. You can see for miles into mid Wales and back into England. The closeness to North Wales is perfect for day trips to enjoy the hills and mountains of Snowdonia National Park and more.
You really must come over to see us it's too good to not share it.
Did you go to Cerne Abbas?
@@bethcushway458 no I haven't been there.
@@laguna3fase4 it's incredible. My uncle lived in a village nearby and so we'd go by it when we visited. I live in the South Downs National Park now so I'm lucky enough to have all that beauty on my doorstep❤️
These are all fairly common sights in the English countryside. Although the Lake District is particularly nice. As is the Peak District and Forest of Dean. Some places are straight out of Lord of the Rings. In fact Tolkien did base many places in the books, on real life places in England.
Tolkien worked on a Roman archaeological site at Lydney, on what is known as Dwarf Hill. Nearby places like Puzzlewood and Clearwell caves. Have been filming locations for Narnia, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Merlin. Because they’re otherworldly.
My motto is 'do it while you still can'. this guy is living his best life!
Sometimes I forget just how beautiful it is here. Being born and raised in a place you can take it for granted at times.
I also love that there’s no music. A corner of my mind was playing “Detectorists” by Johnny Flynn, as Liam walked along though.
It's videos like this that make you sit back and realise how lucky you are to live in such a beautiful country. Walking in the English countryside with my 2 Cocker Spaniels is pure escapism.
The Julia Bradbury walking videos are well worth watching. She visits every corner of the British Isles in her travels.
Growing up in the Lake District is exceptional in itself, you don't realize how enchanting the small town you're raised in is until you leave for pastures new.
What a walk ! I have the privilege of staring out of my bedroom window to sheep and cow fields in North Wales. Watching and hearing the lambs frolic in the Spring is what life is all about. ❤
In my view, the whole of the United Kingdom has thee stunning and diverse landscape.....ever!
Just to add...The United Kingdom is steeped in magical history, walking solo within our land is just wonderful...
I walked this back in 1991 with my late father who was 66 at the time. There are so many views and nice villages not shown on the video that would blow your minds (even more).
I will admit Bristol is AMAZING, the houses are fair in price.
I would 100% recommend if you move over to Blighty look at Wales, Cumbria, Yorkshire and the Lake-district.
Thank you for your reply to my post, you both are now my new FAVOURITE people and channel 😇😇😇
He's a great kid, I've followed him for a while now, moorland breaks you when you're tired as it's unrelenting, there's no protection from the elements on moorland so if it's windy it can feel pretty bleak. I live in Snowdonia in North Wales which is similar to the Lake District, but all the national parks in the UK are beautiful, one thing I would say if you're planning a visit, Snowdon the highest mountain in England and Wales has a train all the way up to the summit (plenty of videos of it on YT), so I'd highly recommend that experience. I'm a lifelong hiker, mountain runner and wild camper so love the great outdoors and we're definitely spoilt in the UK, through social media I have a lot of friends in the US who are thru hikers and they're always envious that we can get out and about without worrying about bears and other wildlife which can kill us! 🤣
One video I'd highly recommend for you is called 'Dragon's Back Race 2012', it's a race the length of Wales over all the mountains, it doesn't matter if you're into racing or not, the reason I recommend it is the cinematography is jaw-droppingly beautiful, it's also said to be one of the toughest races of it's type in the world lasting 5 days, when it was first run in 1992 they even made runners compete in pairs for safety, and the running world was stunned when a male/female pair won, as everyone took it for granted a male/male pair would win, and the incredible thing is the woman who won the first race in 1992, Helene Diamantides , was also competing in this video in the 2012 race.
Girls you’ll have to react to the same person doing 156 miles of scotlands outer Hebrides. Absolutely amazing. It’s a must for you.
I'm already subbed to Liam and really enjoy his channel. I recently had to have my dog (my best friend) put to sleep and have decided to do some backpacking this year, to keep busy and cheer myself up. Losing a dog is heartbreaking, as you will both know. I have heart failure, so I may have to shorten the walks, but I can still try and get out to those areas in the video. I have been to Robin Hood's bay before and it really is stunning.
I'm so sorry for your loss,I hope you do get out there backpacking it will be a good way to try heal yourself after such a great loss,it just all looks so amazing
@@dawnfishwick861 Thankyou! and I certainly will. It's funny, but ever since I lost my best friend. I have a much greater appreciation for nature. He taught me alot and it's taught me to worry less about minor things and just enjoy the world and time I have less in it. Being outside and in the moment will do me some good :)
Also, there is the North coast 500, maybe there are video's of it, takes you through some of the most gorgeous scenery ever.
Great reaction video as always. I live in the UK and would like to recommend that when you come over you visit the Cotswolds. This would definitely satisfy your love of villages and the countryside , which i know you both love ! Keep up the great work.
Before I even start the video..I LOVE this already. I've walked all over Ireland countryside (yes the north too)..no jokes but I have no cartilage in both knees, had to have surgery on both. BUT I HAVE ZERO regret and would do it again 😊❤. Did a bit in the UK and some in the Netherlands..I'm not done going around Europe. Did a bit in South Africa too. Oh those beautiful Island up North in Ireland (Aaron islands) are also stunning 👌🏼❤❤.
Great video so far girlies, Lake district is beautiful so are the Dales. Love watching your faces taking it all in, and yes I moo at cows and baa at sheep I'll even oink at pigs xx
Glad we aren't alone! Moooooo!!!! 😆
I did this walk 37 years ago at the age of 40. It was much less well known at that time, but now there is a whole service industry that has grown around it with many farms along the route offering bed and breakfast accommodation, and pubs and cafes along the route providing refreshments to the weary walker. It makes a significant contribution to the rural economy nowadays.
6:14 as someone who sees this view every day nearly, I think we take it for granted.
Also would like to mention that, until very recently, all our local drinking water came from that very lake 😇
And as for 7:54, you can drink straight from the springs here so long as you can see at least 1/2 mile each way (for dead sheep)
I live just below this route relatively speaking so I have the peak district on my doorstep as my playground for walking, mountain biking and offroad motorbiking.
I've also been to these three places many of times and they are all stunning.
Driving around the lake district was an awesome trip
Natasha and Debbie, your reactions were a joy! As a British person it was interesting for me to see you blown away by things that - not to suggest I take them for granted, but - are relatively unexceptional in much of the UK.
In 2012 I hiked from my Manchester home to my birthplace of Chertsey (a short way west of London), 208 miles basically a diagonal line down most of the fat bit of England. It was all on proper roads and rarely far from civilisation, but even here I got the Peak District (2 days), Leicestershire which is beautifully green and 'countrified' if less dramatic, and historic sites such as Bosworth. It was something, too, to hear accents shade off into different ones, even in the course of half a day / 10m I could hear changes.
And the people were lovely. I can absolutely back up Liam when he's in that dark moment and 'sick of bloody moors', that's what exhaustion and your own company does and the battle is real! But everyone I met, without exception, was friendly and helpful, and each day I was hard put to it to pick a 'favourite person'. At the time there was a buzzword in the media, "Broken Britain": oh no it isn't.
I must admit when I first saw you I thought who are these crazy ladies? Having watched you two for a while now I have to say I love both of you. Thank you for or the pleasure you have given me.
Loved this one. I think I might do this walk next month. ❤
Please do! And please let us know if you do. You should join us on our Facebook page 😀
Hand in hand ladies together we will walk the UK. Love and peace from Wolverhampton England
I love this reaction ❤ I know a lot of us are guilty for taking the uk’s natural beauty for granted, but pretty much outside of all major towns city’s, you see countryside that will take your breath away.
A few years ago I climbed Pen y Fan which is the highest peak in south wales, it’s in the Brecon Beacons national park and it’s utterly breathtaking
In believe you, and it just confirms to me that almost all British countryside is of lovely aspect.
It's a fabulous walk - we did it with my Dad (in his 70s) and us his three middle-aged kids. We also cycled coast to coast as well. You can feel your heart and spirit expand, and the daily stresses float away. There are many other longer walks - along Hadrian's Wall, the spectacular 630 mile South Coast Path, The Ridgeway (Britain's oldest road), Offa's Dyke. If you get over here, look for the Pathfinder Guides, usually handily small and detailed books with around 24 walks per book, starting as low as 2 to 3 miles, going up to about 20 miles. They're a great way of sampling the countryside. And yes, the countryside really is that green, a bonus for our rain. Wales is stunning from north to south. The only country greener is Ireland.
Loved this video and some very familiar countryside for me. So beautiful and I’m trying to see as much of the UK as I can> This summer I’m touring Devon down south or rather South West and going up north to do the North Coast 500 ❤️
Fantastic video, ladies! A beautiful way to start my Sunday 😊. Also, not only was his commitment to the walk brilliant, but the fact he took the extra time to set up his camera and drone to get cinematics & walking shots is amazing. Well done, lad!
Splendid. I went to stay in the village of Glaisdale that he mentions last year. A 600 mile round trip from home. We had a weekend grouse hunting on those moors. I get what he's saying when he says it is looking a bit bleak. Walking those moors is tough going. They seem endless and relentless on the legs. However, every now and then, you just stop and marvel at how wonderful the view of nature surrounding you is. Watching HPR dogs working in such a beautiful place is a joy. A solid and long two days of walking for me and two days of the dog running, hunting and sniffing. It's the only time he's ever been tired out!
You must go to see the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs on the south coast, viewed from Cuckmere in the west. My favourite view of my beloved England. Heart stoppingky lovely
One thing I have to point out. Is that you don’t have to hike 20 miles to see sights like these in England. Many sights of outstanding natural beauty have places to park a car on the nearest road.
They’re not limited to having to hike for days and camp on mountains. If I remember correctly the original Wainwright coast to coast walk. Named pubs and B&B’s you could stay at each night. In the various towns and villages you walked through.
It’s not like some of the places you can go in the world where you hike out to somewhere. That’s 3 days walk from civilisation.
Also, there are a number of holiday companies who will provide civilised overnight accommodation and ship your luggage between overnight stops so you can do these long walks in easy stages without needing to hump a load of gear.
@@davidjones332 the original route was designed to be walked in 12-14 days. Which is around 14-16 miles a day, but a lot of people try and do at least 20 miles a day.
Our grass is green due to so much rain.. I think myself very lucky to have grown up in the 60s when children could roam off in the mornings and return home when hungry… we walked a lot and played on the beautiful southeast coast or in the woods. The summers were hot and our 5 week summer holidays from school were spent like this.
It was still the same for me in the '80's apart from meals and a couple of my favourite TV shows we'd go back home when the street lights started coming on and you could hear kids parents shouting them in. I think it all changed in the '90's
@Wulla Balloo it changed after the 90's, I was born in 88 and that's how I spent my summer holidays. Turn out after breakfast and go home for tea.
Yorkshire is very cold and wet year round. Its the coldest part of England, you do get a couple weeks of good sun in the summer but the rest of the time you should expect heavy clouds every day. I live just north of New Castle, its wild and rugged, most of its empty and lifeless, but it has so much history at every turn dating back to Pre-Roman Britan. The Danes landed up here and decided it was worth fighting and dyeing for, they were right. To walk across it on foot will test your spirit though. Yorkshire is much like nothern Scotland, not for the feint of heart. The days are very long in the summer its still light past 11:30pm here and gets bright light at 3:30am. In the winter it will be dark by 4:00pm and we don't get sunrise until past 8am. We don't get the deep snows or permafrost of northern Norway or Russia but we are far north. The wind can freeze you to the bone and turn a pleasant walk into a dangerous situation, this lad picked a good week for his venture but anyone deciding to do this should go prepared and take as much care as possible.
The Cornish coastal path is stunning and, as the name suggests, goes all the way around the Cornish coast
As far as I know all the rustic old walls were created by the farmers of the past as they had to clear them from the fields in order to start sowing crops so they simply reused them, now hundreds of years later we can still enjoy how beautiful they look and are a common part of our countryside.
You’re partly correct but missed out the fact that most of the walls were originally built by the monks from some of the many Abbeys and churches that are liberally spread throughout the country-side such as Bolton Abbey, or as seen in the video Shap Abbey. The Abbey’s would send young novice monks out to create small farms in order to raise the animals to feed and cloth their older brother monks ( in this area it would be mainly sheep) and so that the excess milk did not go to waste they would make cheese again for their abbeys consumption and if they had made an oversupply it would be taken to the local markets for sale and the money raised went among other financial streams to pay for more land and livestock, not to mention the building of the Abbeys and the smaller village churches and more field walls.
@@andrewcoates6641 you definitely know your stuff
@29.00 pure heaven! The sun breaking through the clouds!!!
Right!!!
This is such a great video. It illustrates so well how fabulous and important our public rights of way system is. I know you enjoyed finding out about that in a previous video and found it so weird that they go across private land. You can also do the coast-to-coast walk in a 'supported' way by having a company take your luggage from A to B each day and stay in nearby BandBs off the trail.
the law gives us the "right to roam", even across privately owned farmland
etc. etc.
Re: your comment 6.18, "I would be so happy with a little cabin right there, living the rest of my life." Entirely understand and agree, but one of the reasons it's so beautiful is because people aren't allowed to build there. That's what tents are for!
The Lake District is one of England's many places of natural beauty. Interesting fact: You are never any further than 100 miles from any given place in England to the coast. Another lovely video ladies, thank you.
84 miles actually
@@terryodell9803 According to Ordnance Survey, the most landlocked placed in Great Britain and England is Coton In The Elms, Derbyshire-- the nearest three coastlines are all 70 miles away from Church Flatts Farm near the village.
Always remember with your heretige this beautiful countrside also belongs to you.
I'm always surprised at your wonder of the greenery. I suppose we take it for granted that everyone has green grass.
Yes you do. Not that the US doesn't, we certainly do but we have such big cities in lots of areas that seeing large, vast green spaces are something we sometimes have to drive an hour or more to see
The Yorkshire Dales is my part of the world. Won’t be long now till the newborn lambs start appearing in the fields making everybody smile after a long dark winter.😁👍🇬🇧
What a nice lad, so good to see young people loving nature
That's why many of us Brits like to go walking. Living and working in and around London, I've always enjoyed heading out to the countryisde, pulling on my walking boots and experiencing the diverse countryside we have here in the UK - you feel stimulated and energised by being surrounded by the flora, fauna, earth, rocks, water, and landscape. Doesn't matter if you do a few miles or a whole day, it can clear your head and rebalance you, and you can always end up enjoying a drink and a bite to eat somewhere afterwards - you sleep well too! Had some fabulous weeks in the Lake District, and enjoyed some very special moments walking all over the UK, as there are equally beautiful walks long and short across the nation. I would do that walk. 😀
100% agree with this. The UK is a walker's paradise and no matter where you go, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute 🙂
Just get comfy with my marmite on toast...and I'll watch 😁
