I enjoyed this SO much. What a beautiful place! I can't get over how emerald green the grass is. I'd love to see the exclosure machine at work. Thanks for this tour.
Most Europe is that color. They do a lot of recycling and environmental work all over Europe
@@lianefehrle9921 I watch a lot of French chateau videos and it doesn't seem to be as brilliant green as that part of England though.
@CathyMiller0711 A few years ago, a friend came to see me from Spain. It was February, and everywhere I took him, he commented on how green everywhere was. I suppose that I'd always taken it for granted, and it took a visitor to open my eyes.
We generally have mild winters in my part of England, so the grass is not frost damaged. Most years, I have roses in bloom on Christmas Day.
@@PLuMUK54 What a treat to have roses on Christmas Day!
Closest I get in Michigan USA 🇺🇸 to rose's on Christmas day is a Christmas cactus with red blooms 🌵 😅😅😅 I love how beautiful your landscapes are ❤
Absolutely gorgeous, Luke. How blessed you are to live at and oversee Mapperton, as are we as you share it with us!
What an enjoyable video with Luke! Beautiful countryside, thank you for taking us along 😁 🚲
Plague pits are surprisingly common in England (I don't know about the rest of the UK).
I live on what used to be fields outside the village. The road was originally called Black Pit Lane, a reference to the supposed site of the burial pit of the victims of the Black Death of the Fourteenth Century.
Local legend has it that my house was built on the mound above that pit. Certainly, my back garden is half a metre higher than everyone else's.
The village was definitely here at the time of the Black Death. At the time, there was no church, the villagers would have walked about two kilometres to the next village. As a result, there was no burial ground in the village, and, like the Mapperton example, the inhabitants of the village with the church would not have wanted plague victims transported there. If it was a burial pit, then it was certainly in an isolated part of the village, well away from the main routes through the area and beyond the woods surrounding the manor house.
When I was younger, I used to dismiss the legend. I assumed that my garden had just been the spot where builders' rubble had been dumped. However, when constructing a fish pond, which was about one and a half metres deep, there was no sign of any rubble. Perhaps I should have continued digging - who knows what I'd have found.
Dear Luke, that you had such a wonderful outdoor adventure, is really the cherry on top of the Unmissable Tour. Thank you so much for taking us around with you today 😊
Love your discussions on British pastoral developments. Please, keep up the great work! I would love to see that machine which sets fence posts and wire in operation. I've never seen anything like it!
What stunning views everywhere you go!
WOW Luke just incredible. We just can’t imagine the vast lands that you have to manage. What an incredible responsibility and beautiful absolutely stunning. Thank you for touring your wonderful home and lands with us via your bike ride.
This absolutely beautiful! There is so much you could do with your land. For the 5 farms you could restore them and turn them into research facilities where you could have various projects to restore and repair your buildings, land, and provide learning opportunities to students.
Wow Luke, I love this tour please do this again throughout the seasons changes. I really enjoyed it and could feel your love and enthusiasm for the land. ❤
This tour was awesome! So much to see and history learn. Beautiful waterfall! Thanks for sharing
What a beautiful estate I’d love to come and visit and stay in the English cottage that by far is probably the best rest restoration that you guys have ever done
Your family property is beautiful and vast! Have you considered renting/leasing out the 5 farms to inspiring farmers/goat ranchers or to the local schools/universities for agricultural/farming projects?
What stunning countryside. So beautiful. Thank you Luke for this beautiful bike tour.😊
Wonderful presentation. Absolutely lovely countryside.
I very much enjoy watching these tours. I think it’s some of my favorite videos, because it shows the beauty of the land.
Wow. The landscape is just incredible! It reminds me of my homesate of Pennsylvania. I think it would be very fulfilling to be a caretake of land like that. Hard work. But fulfilling. Great tour, Luke!
One of the best videos so far on the channel. Nicely done.
What lovely scenery!! I hope Luke wasn’t hurt badly from his fall off the bike! Have the beavers come back?
suggestion: tilt the camera on your head up so we can see more of the view in front of you instead of the tire. Great video and I enjoyed it
This is so beautiful! Thankyou for taking us on this tour! You are doing such an amazing job with the rewilding and looking after the buildings.
What a ride Luke you must be exhausted 😩 I just love watching you and Julie ❤ thank you for the tour 😊
Oh, thank you for the lovely tour of that beautiful countryside! Some of us can't get outside as much in the dead of winter, and this is a welcomed video ❤
And, never saw a machine like that for putting in poles and fencing - very interesting.
Hi all from Springfield Missouri Happy New Year
Beautiful ride, Luke! Thanks for taking us along!
What great fun. You get your exercise in while doing business and enjoy the country side and record content. I mean that bike accomplishes those 4 things easily. 🥰👏👏💯
Really enjoy Saturday mornings with these lives in the background.
Glad you like them!
I love this, so interesting and informative , it looks a beautiful place 😍
Luke- cut the ivy, it will die & be easier to take down.
SOmetimes this works, sometimes the ivy cling-ons can gather enough nutrients from the wall to continue to live. I wonder about goats? Would they kill it? Also pulling the live ivy can cause a lot of damage to the wall.
Thanks for the bicycle tour ~ amazing views!
That is an amazing bike Luke. Thank you for the tour of your incredible estate. You certainly have your hands full with all the new projects discovered.
Stunning scenery and a beautiful day. Thank you for the tour and the update on the re-wilding efforts.
We have wild deer around us and a 4ft fence at the lowest point and the deer still grace us with there visits. My hubby said a second fence at a lower height puts them off jumping. 😮
We see them often when we close our gate in the open field opposite.
We live in France
I did love your tour, im glad you done as I was quite worn out after.
Thats another project for a cottage. 😁
I really loved this video!! Thank you Luke
OMW such Mountain Bikers envy we have now. Gorgeous video. Can venture out happily more often 👍
Curiosity woundering how many hours this tour took you riding??? Whew! Love how you enjoy your property and how thankfull you are to be its care taker ❤
One of my favourite episodes. Please can you offer mountain bike tours of the estate?
This was wonderful! Thoroughly enjoyed it; what a beautiful estate 🌳!
Really wonderful balance of journeying and history. This was splendid.
That was quite the tour of Mapperton. Brilliant! Thank you
What an enormous estate and responsibility. I cannot even imagine the multitude of tasks that need to be seen to daily without a bank full of free money and a small army to lend a hand. Congratulations on your socially acceptable mental health. If it were me I would be…not socially acceptable. Lol.
That was excellent and so interesting! Thank you!
Beautiful countryside!!😊
That was fantastic! I would so love to bike your estate!! Please do this again! 😊
I need that bike!
Lovely tour, Luke! Thank you for that! I really want to exercise outside now 😊
❤ awesome video! Thank you Luke for the wonderful tour!
Wonderful tour!
You need to put a basket on that bike so you can carry a thermos and snacks! And dry socks!
What a delightful tour! More, please!!
Wonderful tour! Thank you Luke !
Thank'YOU ❣️❣️
Loved this episode Luke on the bike
Hi from Kansas City Missouri
So much fun loved it
nice tour luke!
This was brilliant! Thanks, Luke.
Enjoyed that. Thank you!
The views are beautiful. When you started 2023 tourist season you wanted 30,000 visitors. How did you do?
I think they answered a comment on a previous video. Numbers were down. The UK has had weather that even we think is bad. Cool. Wet. Cloudy. Windy. I imagine that all tourist sites saw numbers drop.
Beautiful journey!!!
Thanks for the tour Luke!
Beautiful!
Glad you didn't hurt yourself when you went a cropper.
That was wonderful u
Have you found the beavers yet?
Thank you for taking us on a lovely, joyful ride around the estate! ❤
If your green sand is what we use in the US for water treatment you could have a valuable resource there.
Interesting trip, thank you!
Thank you for the tour. I love it.
Enjoyed that! :)
Gorgeous area
I am a new subscriber and booked already. We live on our dairy farm in Pembrokeshire (retiring to a smaller property in the Wye Valley this year). I was lucky to own an Exmoor mare, so excited to see the glimpse of your ponies. Fantastic way to get around the estate. We have a Renault Twizy, which is great for roads/tracks and dry fields. Not so good in mud though 😀. Will watch some older videos to see more of what you do on the estate. My aunt & uncle live in Dorset (near Dorchester), so will definitely p!an a visit to you too.
Hi from Topeka Kansas. I always love your videos, but this one was really different going from place to place on the estate. I hope you can do this again sometime! Thanks!
Nice ride. Thanks for sharing! Breathtaking scenery. I must admit, I was rather hoping you'd be trying out one of your son's bike jumps!
Nice tour. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing you tour of the countryside. It is absolutely stunning.
As I was joining you on your tour, Luke, I kept thinking the best thing to do after this would be a long soak in a bathtub! I am sitting here watching the snow fall, the second dusting of the season, thinking, 'waterfall? THAT'S not a waterfall!!,' because I am about 50 minutes from Yosemite Falls here in Northern California! Yosemite Falls is 2,425 feet tall! We'd call your 'fall' 'water over a rock'! Some day, I will get back to England and visit Dorset. All that wonderful green is so pleasing to see! Riding that electric bike looks like great fun, even if the fat tires slip a bit in the wet! More, please! Hope you can do something to stop the deterioration of the stone buildings... would a university want to use those as a teaching examples? What ivy does to mortar and stone? How to shore up a wall that is leaning? How to build on 'green sand'? An engineering professor's dream!
Great stuff, but in my experience, unless English deer are significantly shorter than American deer, don’t be surprised if they just hop over the deer enclosure fences. Also, as a favor, it would be great to tip the go-pro up a bit. That way we could see more of the country through which you are riding and less of the front tire (though it is a pretty cool tire). Are you planning any projects on these disused farm buildings? They are beautiful and seem worth preserving.
That type of fencing is used all over the UK. It works. Perhaps our deer are too laid back to jump. 😁
I like your bike! Nice!!
Thank you Luke for the tour. The countryside is lovely. You must be so pleased with the progress of the restoration project. I am currently looking to purchase an electric bike but my preference is to purchase a model made in either the UK or EU as a way of supporting local manufacturing. I will have to research where Himiway bikes are made.
If you were to tell me this video was taken in Vermont I'd believe it. I see why the first English settlers called this place New England.
A lovely tour of the estate! So nice that you voice your appreciation of It.
Stunning!
Do you rent out bikes for people to use on your estate? That would be a fun activity to do. 💗
Love the tour
Really enjoyed the tour of the Estate, you guys are doing such a great job.
Happy new year
Really enjoyed the tour. What a great bike to tour your beautiful estate. Thanks for sharing it with us 😍😘
Loved the tour, beautiful landscape!!
Thanks for all that info about the bike! :) Bravo Luke! So well done and well said! Looking forward to next time! Glad you are ok, spills can be bad. Thank you so much for doing this!
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I just got my first electric bike and I didn't realize you could do so much with it. I hope you decide to do it again soon.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ happy new year
Excellent music choices again! Beautiful!
Paisagens lindas! Gostei muito desse video!
Did the beavers survive the storm?
I enjoyed your outing of your estate you so “gracefully” showed us. 😂
I loved the tour but didnt really get a sense of directions or how all of the farms related to each other in the landscape. I tried following along on Google maps but was only mildly successful. Is there an estate map online somewhere?
I am amazed at the size of your estate. It’s all so beautiful. Who lives at Marsh Farm housing-staff?
Hello from London Canada
My grandfather who was a carpenter, hated to see ivy on brick or older houses-because he stated it destroyed the brick or the building itself. It is rumored Queen Mary, grandmother, of late Queen Elizabeth II, would tear ivy off buildings and trees if she saw it.
The skies are beautiful. I saw turquoise, white, blue and amber. The stream is beautiful too. Is it a natural stream?
What a great video! How long was the actual trip, and how many km did you travel?
