    My first trip to London many years ago there was a smell in the air I couldn't recognize. It wasn't until I put my hand on a stone building as I was posing for a pic that I realized the smell on my hand was the age I was smelling. Nothing in the US is that old so it was unfamiliar and I loved it.!

    So beautiful. I've seen some of this streets and building in your Masterpiece Theater, or Masterpiece Mysteries so, so many other great British programs we get there in the States. At 3:00 that building and green has been used many many time in movies. You are so fortunate to live in a country with it's history in its architecture. Took Architectural Art in college and so much of it was from England. You really have it all.

    One of my favorite movies is titled OXFORD BLUES. it stars Rob Lowe and Michael Caine and a load of other actors that I dont recall their names at the moment. It was based on a Las Vegas youth that scammed his way into Oxford to meet a Princess and when it was all said and done he didnt get the princess but he became mates with the sculling crew and learned alot of life lessons. This video reminds me of why I always wanted to go to Great Britain because of that movie and all the architecture and history found there. Thanks so much for the tour and the rekindling of that memory.

      @tamaracarter1836 4 года назад +3

      I think they mean in terms of “age”, as the college you mention was built in 1902; in the style of an English college. Whereas the colleges and streets in Cambridge (especially in the medieval heart of the city), are generally medieval (before 1485), Tudor (1485-1558) or classical (1600’s-1700’s), as Cambridge University was founded in 1209 by students from Oxford University (founded 1096) - with many churches in each city built between 1000-1150. Of course the US colleges are also very pretty!

    Hi Guys! I'm excited for this new channel and seeing various places around England. I find it all so charming, although I've never been...yet. I was wondering, if it's possible, would you share what the accent is like when you go to a new place? I don't know how often accents change throughout England, but I thought that would be fun. And maybe a brief synopsis of the history of place, what its known for? Just some thoughts. I'm off to catch up on your Cambridge visits. 💗

    That was lovely! I don't think the Cambridge in Massachusetts is as nice but it seems they got the name from the UK. As I watch videos that you both do and talk about towns/cities many are the same as in New England which I never really thought about before. Makes sense since so many people came here from there right? There are places in Boston and Salem Mass. that have the narrow cobblestone streets and brownstone homes. So nice. I think if you ever get the chance to come to New England book a few days in different areas to see and maybe compare to where you are. Of course they won't have as much history since it started after the discovery of the US, but to see what influences came over and maybe was preserved? I do love these videos. I don't know if I will ever be able to go to the UK, so this will have to suffice in case I can't. Thanks for sharing!! xx

    It's so beautiful! I used to want to go to Cambridge University, but my mum sort of made me drop that dream + the obvious issue of it not exactly being affordable... Looking at the situation right now, maybe it was for the better, but hell would it be magical to spend at least a semester there..

    Enjoyed the tour, the buildings are beautiful. I got a kick out of you trying to maintain hushed tones. Wish it ended up with you two being driven away in the Bentley. ;)

    Wow! Very beautiful!! You're never to old to return to college. I returned at age 47.

    What I meant to say is it would have been interesting to hear what the different COLLEGES in Cambridge University specialized in! Loved seeing all the buildings!
