Hey guys, welcome to the REAL England. London is NOT really typical of what our country is about. The Lake District (where you are with Windermere) is just one of the most beautiful places to visit. If you want other places may I suggest the Peak District, especially Mam Tor, caverns etc, Manchester, very definitely unlike London. Also Leeds and Bradford and surrounding districts, and one can go on for ever. London? Too awful for words. Best wishes, Dave in Yorkshire.
Robert Paulson a lot of old ignorant people in that wonderful country side I have had numerous old people stare at me and mutter things under there breath like I had violated them by visiting there local area I often tell my self every village has a idiot even this nice one 😂

This was so good to watch as a Northerner. We need to send this video to other American tourists and get them to look outside the capital. Just hope you had subtitles for the way we speak up here.....
We northerners do have a different regional English. Here in the North (I'm sure Mr England will support me on this) a typical greeting would be "Nah-then thee!" (Hello). "Wha's tha doin'" (what are you doing?) "Is thee alreet?" (are you OK) and we also have alternative words used most commonly and frequently. Scran is food, bevvy is a drink, (having a bevvy (drink), and many more. Please love our country. Its a wonderful place. (Oh, and the further north that you travel, the more friendlier the people are.
+TheTravelingClatt I hope so mate. Did you find us more friendy in the north? We kinda pride ourselves on being more welcoming than the south. As a guest, what was your view?
Try Durham and Newcastle if you come again, best nightlife in the country in Newcastle, Durham for historical crap, very scenic, Durham dales too just like the yorks national park, that road you were on from Kirby Stephen is a favourite for bikers on a nice day, its like a race track lol.
Dont stop the tourist whats the wolves going to eat . Your perfectly safe i slept in the dales its ok . The only time i was worried was in a pub car park . I lay awake all night ready to get up and run. I thought the land lord might come out and ask me for money😂
If you're going to make a video, it helps to get your facts straight!!! The viaduct is called Ribblehead Viaduct, and was built from 1870 to 1875. In 1800 there were no railways as such. The Railway Age began around 1825 with the Stockton to Darlington Railway, but that's another story. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribblehead_Viaduct for the story of this particular viaduct, and links to the story of the Settle - Carlisle Railway (not Carlisle - Settle as someone called it)
Theres a place called Goathland near Whitby on the N.Yorks moors where a TV soap used to be filmed where the sheep wander around the place, its like stepping back in time.
I love Yorkshire! I’m an American but I have lived in England for a while now, and try to get to Yorkshire on a regular basis. The people there are some of the loveliest people as well
Nice to see your Video showing our Beautiful British Isle, I have left my own comment above, Judging by your other Video`s you seem to be having a Fantastic time Travelling to other Cultures around the World...Enjoy !
Not trying to be rude but if ever get to England I will NOT be visiting London. If I want to see Asia and Africa I can stay right here in New York-for free. It's the Lake District and the North Country for me. Newcastle is what I would like to see.
From Wikipedia about the Ribblehead Viaduct: The land underneath and around the viaduct is a scheduled ancient monument. The remains of the construction camp and navvy settlements (Batty Wife Hole, Sebastopol, and Belgravia) are located there
There are so many nice parts of England outside London, we don't broadcast them much, because we want to enjoy them in our own piece and quiet! Tourists, you can have londinium, the Natives don't really go there. We have the rest of the UK!
So refreshing to see Americans realise that England is more than London... London is nothing like England... Never say to a Northerner are you from London mega insult!!
That "dried up waterfall" is our famous Malham Cove, wherein begins the wonderful River Aire. And, the "viaduct thing" is actually Ribblehead Viaduct (or Batty Moss) which carries the Settle-Carlisle railway. I was born in this country.
Really nice to see people from overseas going to England and bypassing London, particularly the north of England. The weather can be hit and miss, although go in summer next time and you might be surprised. Generally the people in northern England are very friendly and certainly not posh as any are in London, (although you will get the occasional one as you do anywhere even in the USA) better food on average than in London and your're far less likely to be ripped off and although some of the scenery just outside London is "pretty", the scenery in the national parks up here is stunning. Oh and the beer is infinitely better lol! You might guess I'm not from London, admittedly the place has some great architecture, but so does York, Chester and Durham. : )
The big mistake most Americans make when they come to England is to visit London. Sod London, England has far much more to offer than that. Especially up north.
I laughed my arse off at an American trying to get close to some sheep. That was so funny. You've got a new subscriber. Edit: It's not unusual for people to use geese as guards in a similar way to dogs. They can be very vicious when they want to and broken bones are not uncommon from an attack. I'm glad they were in a good mood.
I live down south of the UK and I absolutely love the Yorkshire Dales/Cumbria/Lake District area. We go there every year for our holiday as it is truly beautiful and peaceful place. It never bores me and my family. There is so much to explore, like waterfall and hillside walks and castles and little museums and lots of pretty, traditional, cobbled towns and villages. Everyone that lives there is so friendly and kind, much, much nicer than the snobby people that live round my bit of the UK. I really recommend this place for family holidays or hiking holidays or anyone who just wants to explore somewhere new. It’s also a great area for people that love or work with nature, with lots of species of birds, birds of prey, deer, red squirrels, bats and many other wild animals. I can’t recommend this area up North enough so please check it out. It doesn’t disappoint and I’ve been going here years!
I thought I typed more that what was posted. There are various steam trains that operate on the Carlisle to Settle line that each are worth experiencing. One is The Fellsman. Nothing like experiencing steam in a period carriage. www.yorkshire.com/view/attractions/the-fellsman-steam-trains-on-the-settle-to-carlisle-railway-1210486
Normal train isn't too bad, as long as you don't sit where the windows are covered in "see-through" advertisement... The new trains aren't too bad, and as long as you don't have to travel in them every single day, even Pacers are fun. Did you visit some towns except for Windermere? I liked Appleby on the Settle & Carlisle.
As a fellow Yorkshireman i do really think Yorkshire is the best county. The Dales is probably my fav place and i go every year with my family. (id say ive been to everyone you went) I took my Amercian Girlfriend to the Dales and she absolutely loved it, she thought it was gorgeous and couldn't believe it was real.
Good for you man, it really does speak volumes that you didn't think there'd be anything like this here. It's a real shame people see this sceptered isle and just think of London. It does my head in when people claim to have been to England and they've only been to London so good on you for exploring.
Yorkshire is home for me, and I've seen a fair bit of it, but there's still so much for me to see. Travelling the UK is definitely something I want to do once I'm back!
I grew up in West Yorkshire but my parents have just moved away and I'm at a uni in South Yorkshire. Don't get me wrong, I love it at uni and living in a city where everything is much more convenient (especially since I don't have a car and don't like buses) but I miss where I used to live and being about a minute away from being in the middle of a field. And the greenway. I didn't realise how much I love using the greenway. And being able to get to school/college through mostly footpaths. And having to walk at least 30 mins to get to where you wanted to be. And really small towns. And I should finish this comment and not watch any more of this video before I get really depressed.
Lisa Henry I live and South Yorkshire and it’s pretty industrial compared to other parts of Yorkshire. I work in North Yorkshire now though, so loads more nature up there.
Thumbed up for actually traveling around the UK is like 600 miles by 300. Easily covered in a week, but so many people stay in London and spend 5 times the money and miss so much. You could have gone to Stonehenge. 6 hrs driving at most from where you were. Then in under an hour be in Wales, the true place to find the Britons. England is Anglo-Saxons/Normans. Scotland is the Celts and the Welsh the Britons.
Epictetus I know what you mean. Probably another two generations at most, then after that there will be more mixed ethnicity than Anglo-Saxon for sure.
That presupposes there won't be any modern-day Crusade to eradicate Islam from the UK.. given enough jihad carnage in the coming years the Saxons will awaken soon enough, and woe betide the defenders of Islamic sadism and enslavement come that day.
The north of England alone is pure magic. Northumberland is my favourite place. Not sure why this appeared in my recommended videos but I'm glad it did!
Great video, our channel covers lots of beautiful locations in the Uk, we take our daughters hiking every weekend. The dried up glacial waterfall is called Mallam cove
"I'm baffled that they were able to build this in the 1800s." You do realise, right, that the Romans were building similar structures 1800 years or more earlier?
Yorkshire is Beautiful! Everyone on the planet needs to get out of their comfort zone and visit the world! It's amazing...so much culture and so much to learn..!! 👍😁👌😀💪🎵🎶🎼
100 or 200 hundred years old since the last ice age? Did she seriously just say that? The landscape your in is 10,000 of thousands of years old steeped in ancient history.
Thanks for not just going to London and saying you've been to England. There is so much here, big cities, hamlets, towns, villages and soooooo much beautiful countryside. Best countryside though is in Northumberland (where the Vikings first rocked up...) then head up over the border to Scotland, absolutely BEAUITFUL!
Being from Yorkshire it's pretty rare seeing tourist videos exploring around our areas, but they're always pleasant to find! Just wish the world didn't think the only population of England was in London haha
PiratePrincessRin Was the highest single drop waterfall in England (above ground) in December 2015 when the water ran over the edge for a short time, and the first time in centuries.
Also, guys, did you know that just to the side of that viaduct, when it was being built, a huge temporary township was constructed for the workers and their families to live in, including schools, etc! Also the pillars holding up the viaduct have foundations of sheep's wool. And the tunnel which is just beyond it, is haunted by the men who died building it.
lol the bigbad guy was a young mute swan which hadn't grown into adult plumage :) great vid, haven't been to those places since I was a kid :) very nostalgic :)
Glad you enjoyed it sometimes I go out to the Yorkshire dales at the weekends I have to say I thought others would find it boring because there's not much to do but I'm happy you seemed to like it
Omg you're at Malham cove? how beautiful is it! I abseiled down it once. You can climb to the top, and if you do you'll see all the stones where they filmed a scene in Harry Potter :P there's also a beautiful walk that you can take over the top of the cove. It leads to Janet's Foss which is beautiful, and also to Gordale Scar which is incredible! You should check them out if it's not too late, or at least give them a cheeky google. Love your videos Xx
I seem to remember going there one time in the '90s while at University in Bradford. As I remember it, we went for a little walk and watched the RAF do low level flying in the valley below us.
I am British and taken the trouble to holiday in the UK and learn about the history and see castles and cathedrals that you would not see in the usa or just going to a Spanish beach. Been to most towns in the UK on holiday now.
IMO The most beautiful places in Britain are mainly on the West coast e.g. Cornwall and Devon in the West Country, Exmoor is one of my all time favourite places. The Gower, Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia in Wales. The Lake district in the north and the Highlands and Hebrides in Scotland. Other nice places are Dorset on the south coast, the Peak district, the Yorkshire dales (as you know) and Northumbria. The Dales is a popular place for caving (my own hobby) and hiking. The 3 highest points are Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. If you hike round all 3 in 12 hours you've completed the (Yorkshire) 3 Peak challenge. www.threepeakschallenge.uk/yorkshire-three-peaks-challenge/
@Harry Chown Lol. Well much of the West coast. The west gets has more lakes, woodland, hills, and mountains and gets more rain so it's really lush and green. A lot of the East side of Britain is very flat featureless and boring. Good for farming but crap scenery compared to the West.
@Harry Chown It just my opinion and there are a small number of exceptions I agree, but most of the recognised Beauty spots are in the west due to the topography and climate. And of course some of that's down to personal taste, for instance I think Exmoor is one of the most beautiful places in Britain with it's tiny steep sided valleys, tumbling streams, wild flowers and abundent wildlife. I've only been to the yorkmoors a few times, so you probably know them much better than I do. They do have a kind of beauty, but I found them a bit bleak and lifeless for my taste. They're not great for wildlife compared to Exmoor, especially the bits managed by gamekeepers. I don't like farmland much because there's less variety and all the pesticides mean less wildlife too, especially in places where they've got rid of the hedgerows. I tend to prefer green woodlands, streams, wild coastland and lakes and mountains and the best examples of those are mostly in the West.
You're a rare breed of American whose traveled out of London. Hats of to you all. Also in case you didnt already know. You can only operate drones in open field areas an not in urban built up areas. That's probably why the lady had a go at you.
You missed the small village remains at the Ribble Viaduct that was built to house the workers. It turned into a small town that was there for 30 years...
1) Start at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, go east onto Pen-y-Ghent, over P-y-G, NW to the butty van where you parked, north beside that viaduct, past a really lonely little whistle-stop, over the line and west onto Whernside, south along Whernside and east down into the valley and up onto Ingleborough Hill (the one with those caves on its west side) then east back to H-in-R to finish. 9 hr 50 min with stops for photography, for me. Start early. Be down before it gets dark. 2) Those sheep are friendlier if you have food. 3) That one's a swan, not a goose. They'll probably take McVities HobNobs from your fingers all day if you bring them. 4) At Malham, you can do downriver, turn up Gordale Beck, visit Janet's Foss, continue up the stream into Gordale Scar, climb up in the middle of the waterfall (yes I know that sounds crazy) and jump across to the west side, climb out of the gorge and walk to Malham Tarn then follow the old watercourse down to Malham Cove. 5) Windermere? Ugh. Get up to Grasmere, then west. Check out Langdale, Wasdale and Seatoller. Also, if your vehicle is small enough, go via Stair Bridge and Newlands Pass into Buttermere. 6) THANK YOU for coming up north not staying in b____y London.
Love your video. I don't care if you thought England was just London, at least you found your way out of there lol! You were so close to Gordale Scar when you were at Malham Cove I hope you went there too....it's magnificent!
Americans, you go out for a walk, get lost and end up in Yorkshire. You're a crazy bunch! I was wondering how it was for you when you encountered your first castle, sometimes I forget how common they are in the UK, especially when you grow up with one in your home city.
Whilst at grammar school I went on a geography field trip to Malham and we had to climb up the waterfall. Quite scary. At the top is a brilliant limestone pavement. And the view! The Yorkshire Dales are, after the Lake District, perhaps the most beautiful part of the UK. I hope you visited York - where I went to uni and trained to be a teacher.
SO nice to see you enjoying the rest of England, don't get me wrong i think London is the greatest city in the world but the Lake district, Peak district, Snowdonia, Cornwall, Stonehenge, Sussex Downs, Dartmoor, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle are all incredible places that dont get nearly enough foreign tourism especially from Americans!
@@TheTravelingClatt Can I ask which accent was your favourite? I'm always curious to hear what people from outside the UK think of the people, our accents, culture, history, customs and landscape. I love watching these kinds of videos because it's like seeing the place that you live from a whole new perspective. Especially when you find the hidden rural treasures. Watching people from other parts of the world or even other parts of Britain discover them and grow to love them as much as I do makes me feel so warm inside. I hope you had a nice time and you're all welcome to come back and check out some of our other hidden gems.
The "cave" that they explored is where the settlement grew for the workers that built the railway and Ribblehead viaduct, they covered the stream to build the road and built stone houses to live in.
if you ever get a chance... head to Matlock, by rail if possible... And careful with some if those streams, they may not look wide but there are a fair few several feet deep with super strong undercurrents...
This is a fine piece of filming. I'm glad you seen so many great places in England and I like your enthusiasm for it all. Subscribed and liked and I will watch more. Well done.
I also vouch for the North East and Northumberland. I could sit here all day and talk about it but the whole of the UK and islands around wouldn't be seen in your lifetime. We're still trying to learn about it ourselves lol. So much history lost and awaiting to be rediscovered as is all countries, the whole planet to be exact. I do have 1 suggestion, maybe next time you plan to visit somewhere, post a video and people can give you suggestions. There is also google etc lol :) BTW, when you were in Kirkby lonsdale, i guess you missed "Devils Bridge", it's a grade 1 listed building (late 1300's) and very popular for scuba divers and a meeting place for bikers, drink, swim, BBQ's etc :D I'm sure you'd of loved it :) EDIT* subscribed*
If you stand really quietly in the bottom of Malham Cove you can often hear the water running under the stones under your feet. It actually runs under the stones, through the limestone.
As a northerner who lives on the edge of nowhere its so weird to see people try and pet sheep. The countryside is the best place in England for definite, and there are so many hidden gems all around.
The geese (canada geese) and swan are friendly as people feed them. Usually take a loaf of sliced bread with my lad to feed the ducks/swans. Fyi useless fact - thats still a young swan that will get bigger, its illegal to kill/eat swans as they are the queens, and a fully grown swan is more than capable of breaking your arm (they're pretty just dont let them get too close lol). Glad you enjoyed more of the uk than just London, try somerset and cornwall next time (and scotlands west highland way is astounding)
Ian Wilkins Corn, chopped cooked vegetables, even breakfast cereals or a handful of chips - anything but bread ! It's not good for them, has no nutritional value but they come to rely on it as a source of food from people. PS - they can do you a nasty injury but they can't break your arm.
Welcome to the forgotten north of the england :D. I am Yorkshireman and it is is beautiful. I have many american friends and when they come over they are in absolute awe at the scenery we have and often say they think all of england is like how it is down south. Glad you found the gem of england. Also cumbria is a beautiful part of england which doesn't get the credit it deserves x
London is one of the world's great cities and should be visited on any trip to my country, but there's a whole lot more to the UK than London. Remember medieval London burnt down in 1666 so if you want to see any remains of medieval cities you need to go to places like York, Chester or Salisbury. Most of our great castles are out of London (Warwick is spectacular and in North Wales castles are ten a penny) and also our palaces and great stately homes (Blenheim, Chatsworth, Hardwick House), our best mountain scenery is in Wales, Scotland and Northern England and Edinburgh, another beautiful capital city. There's our great maritime and music heritage in Liverpool and Manchester's nightlife is second to none. If you only go to London it's like saying you know the USA just by visiting New York.
As Wikipedia would have told you: "The [Ribblehead] viaduct was designed by engineer John Sydney Crossley.[5] The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874.[7] One thousand navvies built the viaduct and established shanty towns on the moors for themselves and their families.[8]"
Ribble viaduct has a great history of its own. Was owned by what was the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Its part of what became know to the train crews as the "Long Drag". From memory the line went uphill for about 17 miles and the poor firemen had to work hard. If any one is interested read about the "Race to the North". About the two great British railways companies competing for the fastest trains to Scotland.
How refreshing to see an American in northern England where I live. People think England is London and London is England. If you want to see England, get out of London. It isn’t a reflection of the way we are.
Well done for exploring past London. We go to the Yorkshire Dales regularly and it is so beautiful. I thought it was funny when Alison said Malham Cove was between 100-200 years old - It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age more than 12,000 years ago lol!!! For natural stunning beauty and very important historic area too I suggest you also visit Northumberland - best coastline in the UK, more castles than anywhere else in UK and the most unpopulated stunning scenery
The Ribblehead Viaduct normally has diesel trains going over but when u know that a Steam train rail tour is on the Settle to Carlisle line. You can go to the viaduct and watch the steam train go over
Brilliant aha stayed up in the dales for a week a few summers ago the viaduct is absolutely insane great to see people visiting the same places I've been to round my country aha
I'm from a town near Huddersfield. Years ago some friends and I cycled to Hawes one Easter and stayed overnight in Gayle, just down the road from the Ribbleshead viaduct shown here. When I say 'just down the road' it is actually a bloody steep hill and it had just started to snow when we set out on the return journey via the viaduct. By the time we got to the top of the hill the snow was inches deep and cars were turning back. Well we reached the turnoff at the viaduct and in the car park next to it there was an ice cream van! My mate, cold tired and fed up, got off his bike and went up to the ice cream seller and told him what to do with with his ice creams.

AMEN!
imo london is like another country anyway,nothing like the rest of the uk in any way
"The line that used that viaduct" was built by the Midland railway company to connect London to Scotland.
London didn't axe those lines. Dr Beeching did. I'm a Londoner, and I'm outraged at the carnage his cuts had on communities that relied on trains.
Well said although London does have amazing architecture..

Not trying to be rude but if ever get to England I will NOT be visiting London. If I want to see Asia and Africa I can stay right here in New York-for free. It's the Lake District and the North Country for me. Newcastle is what I would like to see.
I don't have to visit Asia or Africa because thousands of their citizens live right here. And as far as NY, come back and take a closer look.
Come to Sheffield and the Peak District! The Lakes are lovely, but can get quite crowded.

That "dried up waterfall" is our famous Malham Cove, wherein begins the wonderful River Aire. And, the "viaduct thing" is actually Ribblehead Viaduct (or Batty Moss) which carries the Settle-Carlisle railway. I was born in this country.
I guess I should see more than London next time when I'm in England! :D
+Elias Limitless oh yeah this was An amazing adventure
Elias Limitless Lake district is hugely popular.
Elias Limitless I would suggest Cornwall, Devon, Wales and North Norfolk.
London isnt even English anymore mate, go to cornwall or further up north. Best places in England and U.K are outside of London.
this lad speakth the truth
Some people think England is all urban when really there's a lot of countryside.
Really nice to see people from overseas going to England and bypassing London, particularly the north of England. The weather can be hit and miss, although go in summer next time and you might be surprised. Generally the people in northern England are very friendly and certainly not posh as any are in London, (although you will get the occasional one as you do anywhere even in the USA) better food on average than in London and your're far less likely to be ripped off and although some of the scenery just outside London is "pretty", the scenery in the national parks up here is stunning. Oh and the beer is infinitely better lol!
You might guess I'm not from London, admittedly the place has some great architecture, but so does York, Chester and Durham. : )
YES
Dick Turpin, mostly I'd agree about the beer with one exception - Fullers ESB (aka Extra-Sensory Beer). That stuff isn't too bad.
Agreed, Fullers ESB is excellent, I just meant on average the beer in the north is far better.
The big mistake most Americans make when they come to England is to visit London. Sod London, England has far much more to offer than that. Especially up north.
+Jamie Sim well check out my new England videos you’ll love em!
Will do when I get chance mate.
Hate London with a passion.
I laughed my arse off at an American trying to get close to some sheep. That was so funny. You've got a new subscriber.
Edit: It's not unusual for people to use geese as guards in a similar way to dogs. They can be very vicious when they want to and broken bones are not uncommon from an attack. I'm glad they were in a good mood.
+tobortine haha welcome to the family friend!
I no the sheep noise had me in stitches😂
I live down south of the UK and I absolutely love the Yorkshire Dales/Cumbria/Lake District area. We go there every year for our holiday as it is truly beautiful and peaceful place. It never bores me and my family. There is so much to explore, like waterfall and hillside walks and castles and little museums and lots of pretty, traditional, cobbled towns and villages. Everyone that lives there is so friendly and kind, much, much nicer than the snobby people that live round my bit of the UK. I really recommend this place for family holidays or hiking holidays or anyone who just wants to explore somewhere new. It’s also a great area for people that love or work with nature, with lots of species of birds, birds of prey, deer, red squirrels, bats and many other wild animals. I can’t recommend this area up North enough so please check it out. It doesn’t disappoint and I’ve been going here years!
It is so fun to watch you explore the world.
+Shula Oudean toda raba!
Very entertaining video.
You can go over the Ribble Viaduct (Carlisle to Settle line) on a steam train.
Sounds incredible!
I thought I typed more that what was posted.
There are various steam trains that operate on the Carlisle to Settle line that each are worth experiencing. One is The Fellsman.
Nothing like experiencing steam in a period carriage.
www.yorkshire.com/view/attractions/the-fellsman-steam-trains-on-the-settle-to-carlisle-railway-1210486
Normal train isn't too bad, as long as you don't sit where the windows are covered in "see-through" advertisement... The new trains aren't too bad, and as long as you don't have to travel in them every single day, even Pacers are fun. Did you visit some towns except for Windermere? I liked Appleby on the Settle & Carlisle.
As a fellow Yorkshireman i do really think Yorkshire is the best county. The Dales is probably my fav place and i go every year with my family. (id say ive been to everyone you went) I took my Amercian Girlfriend to the Dales and she absolutely loved it, she thought it was gorgeous and couldn't believe it was real.
Good for you man, it really does speak volumes that you didn't think there'd be anything like this here. It's a real shame people see this sceptered isle and just think of London. It does my head in when people claim to have been to England and they've only been to London so good on you for exploring.
+George Bennett yes your totally right my friend
So happy I found a video of an American visiting outside of the London bubble! London is not England!
Yorkshire is home for me, and I've seen a fair bit of it, but there's still so much for me to see. Travelling the UK is definitely something I want to do once I'm back!
Nicole Lauren Blake where are you now nicole? from here originally? 😊
I grew up in West Yorkshire but my parents have just moved away and I'm at a uni in South Yorkshire. Don't get me wrong, I love it at uni and living in a city where everything is much more convenient (especially since I don't have a car and don't like buses) but I miss where I used to live and being about a minute away from being in the middle of a field. And the greenway. I didn't realise how much I love using the greenway. And being able to get to school/college through mostly footpaths. And having to walk at least 30 mins to get to where you wanted to be. And really small towns. And I should finish this comment and not watch any more of this video before I get really depressed.
Lisa Henry I live and South Yorkshire and it’s pretty industrial compared to other parts of Yorkshire. I work in North Yorkshire now though, so loads more nature up there.
If you want to see England, you NEED to get out of London
Thumbed up for actually traveling around the UK is like 600 miles by 300. Easily covered in a week, but so many people stay in London and spend 5 times the money and miss so much. You could have gone to Stonehenge. 6 hrs driving at most from where you were. Then in under an hour be in Wales, the true place to find the Britons. England is Anglo-Saxons/Normans. Scotland is the Celts and the Welsh the Britons.
Cant wait to come back and explore even more!
Jack Carter Well, England isn't Anglo Saxon anymore it's actually majority Muslim and Arab (London and soon everywhere else) but nice history lesson!!
Epictetus I know what you mean. Probably another two generations at most, then after that there will be more mixed ethnicity than Anglo-Saxon for sure.
That presupposes there won't be any modern-day Crusade to eradicate Islam from the UK.. given enough jihad carnage in the coming years the Saxons will awaken soon enough, and woe betide the defenders of Islamic sadism and enslavement come that day.
@TheTravellingClatt next time check out Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. You won't want to leave.
THANK YOU!! For going up North, in from York, and many people who are also from the north will love this!
my pleasure! Was a blast exploring northern England!
Yorkshire is God's own Country... we need more visitors :)
Ill come back!
You mean Lancashire
It's on, bitches!
No, she definitely means Yorkshire!
justmeish1997 we could do with a few less tbh.
The north of England alone is pure magic. Northumberland is my favourite place. Not sure why this appeared in my recommended videos but I'm glad it did!
Have heard of the ugly duckling, well that one at the end is a swan,and next year it will be a white as snow, and able to break ya arm lol
Haha what?!? Yes
Yep it's a swan, don't fuck around with swans every brit knows they break your arm.
thats a myth, but if you piss one off they will go apeshit on you so they are still dangerous
No its totally true I've seen them grab people and then snapping their arms like twigs. They know what they're doing.
It's a myth. They can't break your arm (sprain a wrist maybe). They can drown dogs though...
Great video, our channel covers lots of beautiful locations in the Uk, we take our daughters hiking every weekend. The dried up glacial waterfall is called Mallam cove
"I'm baffled that they were able to build this in the 1800s."
You do realise, right, that the Romans were building similar structures 1800 years or more earlier?
Yay, finally someone who understands that the UK is not just London!!!
+James McKelvey yes amen!
Haha that "big goose" at the end was an adolescent Swan I think!
Yorkshire is Beautiful!
Everyone on the planet needs to get out of their comfort zone and visit the world!
It's amazing...so much culture and so much to learn..!! 👍😁👌😀💪🎵🎶🎼
+DoubleDeckerAnton yes! Amen to that!
I told myself "THATS WHAT SHE SAID" at least 5 times throughout this vid. LOVE IT MAN! That Cave thooo!
+Jaycation really glad you liked it my brother
My uncle is from Yorkshire. So, it was the first of the nothern counties I visited. Beautiful place.
100 or 200 hundred years old since the last ice age? Did she seriously just say that? The landscape your in is 10,000 of thousands of years old steeped in ancient history.
It was a joke my dude
Andyb2379 chill my nigga
Before that we were the mainland
Thanks for not just going to London and saying you've been to England. There is so much here, big cities, hamlets, towns, villages and soooooo much beautiful countryside. Best countryside though is in Northumberland (where the Vikings first rocked up...) then head up over the border to Scotland, absolutely BEAUITFUL!
So much to see in England.
Like a crazy amount!
Being from Yorkshire it's pretty rare seeing tourist videos exploring around our areas, but they're always pleasant to find! Just wish the world didn't think the only population of England was in London haha
that dried waterfall was gorgeous!
+PiratePrincessRin it was incredible!
PiratePrincessRin Was the highest single drop waterfall in England (above ground) in December 2015 when the water ran over the edge for a short time, and the first time in centuries.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2015/dec/07/storm-desmond-brings-malham-cove-waterfall-to-life-video
Also, guys, did you know that just to the side of that viaduct, when it was being built, a huge temporary township was constructed for the workers and their families to live in, including schools, etc! Also the pillars holding up the viaduct have foundations of sheep's wool. And the tunnel which is just beyond it, is haunted by the men who died building it.
lol the bigbad guy was a young mute swan which hadn't grown into adult plumage :)
great vid, haven't been to those places since I was a kid :) very nostalgic :)
Thanks dude so glad you enjoyed!
+chirashimonster - You mean they have *talking* swans?
Fred Neecher+ mute swans make enough of a racket on their own
chirashimonster I
Glad you enjoyed it sometimes I go out to the Yorkshire dales at the weekends I have to say I thought others would find it boring because there's not much to do but I'm happy you seemed to like it
Such an awesome place
Omg you're at Malham cove? how beautiful is it! I abseiled down it once. You can climb to the top, and if you do you'll see all the stones where they filmed a scene in Harry Potter :P there's also a beautiful walk that you can take over the top of the cove. It leads to Janet's Foss which is beautiful, and also to Gordale Scar which is incredible! You should check them out if it's not too late, or at least give them a cheeky google. Love your videos Xx
+Toni Halliday thank you so much❤ next time around I will for sure!
If one just visited for the locations in the Harry Potter films, that would be quite a holiday as so many good places would be discovered on the way.
don't forget the "Clints and Grykes" at the top of Malham Cove. Amazing natural rock formations.
Nice *mustache Toni.*
I seem to remember going there one time in the '90s while at University in Bradford. As I remember it, we went for a little walk and watched the RAF do low level flying in the valley below us.
I am British and taken the trouble to holiday in the UK and learn about the history and see castles and cathedrals that you would not see in the usa or just going to a Spanish beach. Been to most towns in the UK on holiday now.
IMO The most beautiful places in Britain are mainly on the West coast e.g. Cornwall and Devon in the West Country, Exmoor is one of my all time favourite places. The Gower, Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia in Wales. The Lake district in the north and the Highlands and Hebrides in Scotland.
Other nice places are Dorset on the south coast, the Peak district, the Yorkshire dales (as you know) and Northumbria.
The Dales is a popular place for caving (my own hobby) and hiking. The 3 highest points are Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. If you hike round all 3 in 12 hours you've completed the (Yorkshire) 3 Peak challenge.
www.threepeakschallenge.uk/yorkshire-three-peaks-challenge/
I cant wait to come back and visit Dorset I have a good mate down there! excited to explore other parts of England!
omg you said mate
TheTravelingClatt Also please try Shropshire and Wales, Shropshire is right on the welsh border and has some lovely countryside.
@Harry Chown Lol. Well much of the West coast. The west gets has more lakes, woodland, hills, and mountains and gets more rain so it's really lush and green. A lot of the East side of Britain is very flat featureless and boring. Good for farming but crap scenery compared to the West.
@Harry Chown It just my opinion and there are a small number of exceptions I agree, but most of the recognised Beauty spots are in the west due to the topography and climate. And of course some of that's down to personal taste, for instance I think Exmoor is one of the most beautiful places in Britain with it's tiny steep sided valleys, tumbling streams, wild flowers and abundent wildlife. I've only been to the yorkmoors a few times, so you probably know them much better than I do. They do have a kind of beauty, but I found them a bit bleak and lifeless for my taste. They're not great for wildlife compared to Exmoor, especially the bits managed by gamekeepers.
I don't like farmland much because there's less variety and all the pesticides mean less wildlife too, especially in places where they've got rid of the hedgerows. I tend to prefer green woodlands, streams, wild coastland and lakes and mountains and the best examples of those are mostly in the West.
You're a rare breed of American whose traveled out of London. Hats of to you all. Also in case you didnt already know. You can only operate drones in open field areas an not in urban built up areas. That's probably why the lady had a go at you.
You missed the small village remains at the Ribble Viaduct that was built to house the workers. It turned into a small town that was there for 30 years...
Damn that sounds awesome in so sad we missed itv
1) Start at Horton-in-Ribblesdale, go east onto Pen-y-Ghent, over P-y-G, NW to the butty van where you parked, north beside that viaduct, past a really lonely little whistle-stop, over the line and west onto Whernside, south along Whernside and east down into the valley and up onto Ingleborough Hill (the one with those caves on its west side) then east back to H-in-R to finish. 9 hr 50 min with stops for photography, for me. Start early. Be down before it gets dark.
2) Those sheep are friendlier if you have food.
3) That one's a swan, not a goose. They'll probably take McVities HobNobs from your fingers all day if you bring them.
4) At Malham, you can do downriver, turn up Gordale Beck, visit Janet's Foss, continue up the stream into Gordale Scar, climb up in the middle of the waterfall (yes I know that sounds crazy) and jump across to the west side, climb out of the gorge and walk to Malham Tarn then follow the old watercourse down to Malham Cove.
5) Windermere? Ugh. Get up to Grasmere, then west. Check out Langdale, Wasdale and Seatoller. Also, if your vehicle is small enough, go via Stair Bridge and Newlands Pass into Buttermere.
6) THANK YOU for coming up north not staying in b____y London.
+Sableagle haha thank you son much for this comment dude! I'm gonna do my best to make this a reality!
Love your video. I don't care if you thought England was just London, at least you found your way out of there lol! You were so close to Gordale Scar when you were at Malham Cove I hope you went there too....it's magnificent!
+Nessy Yellow .thabks in glad you enjoyed the video planning on coming back soon to explore all these spots!
So nice to see Americans actually outside of London and seeing the real England!
Nice vid ,well done for escaping London ,and visiting the North in the depths of winter .
Haha too cold for this ole florida boy
I love you guys. You show love for our country. The North of England is a great place and I live right next to the Yorkshire Moors.
+Camping for everyone else... we love you too❤️
england is the prettiest city
+Nav Schulman such a nice city
Nav Schulman Errrrrrm....
what slashley?
England is not a city..
When were you last in Camden? What a shit hole;)
Americans, you go out for a walk, get lost and end up in Yorkshire. You're a crazy bunch! I was wondering how it was for you when you encountered your first castle, sometimes I forget how common they are in the UK, especially when you grow up with one in your home city.
+Frank Brown yeah we have none of those back home
Whilst at grammar school I went on a geography field trip to Malham and we had to climb up the waterfall. Quite scary. At the top is a brilliant limestone pavement. And the view! The Yorkshire Dales are, after the Lake District, perhaps the most beautiful part of the UK. I hope you visited York - where I went to uni and trained to be a teacher.
I will next time I come on down!
SO nice to see you enjoying the rest of England, don't get me wrong i think London is the greatest city in the world but the Lake district, Peak district, Snowdonia, Cornwall, Stonehenge, Sussex Downs, Dartmoor, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle are all incredible places that dont get nearly enough foreign tourism especially from Americans!
WELL MAYBE WE CAN CHANGE THAT!
TheTravelingClatt we will have to try brother, happy travels!
Hi did you notice all the different accents people had in the different parts of England?
OF COURSE!
@@TheTravelingClatt Can I ask which accent was your favourite? I'm always curious to hear what people from outside the UK think of the people, our accents, culture, history, customs and landscape.
I love watching these kinds of videos because it's like seeing the place that you live from a whole new perspective. Especially when you find the hidden rural treasures. Watching people from other parts of the world or even other parts of Britain discover them and grow to love them as much as I do makes me feel so warm inside.
I hope you had a nice time and you're all welcome to come back and check out some of our other hidden gems.
The "cave" that they explored is where the settlement grew for the workers that built the railway and Ribblehead viaduct, they covered the stream to build the road and built stone houses to live in.
One of my favourite spots in Yorkshire is Ingleton falls, it's gorgeous.
+VagLazer77 I've been there see my video on it it's awesome!
I know right! It’s beautiful. Have you done the whole waterfall walk?
if you ever get a chance... head to Matlock, by rail if possible...
And careful with some if those streams, they may not look wide but there are a fair few several feet deep with super strong undercurrents...
Yeah, England is beautiful! I would recommend Northumberland and the West Country :)
Thank you! Yes England is incredible honestly the beauty blew me away!
TheTravelingClatt are you American? If so, which state are you from? I would so love to travel the USA! :)
This is a fine piece of filming. I'm glad you seen so many great places in England and I like your enthusiasm for it all. Subscribed and liked and I will watch more. Well done.
+Edward Sweeney thank you Edward hope you enjoy my future adventures!
The are so many railway viaducts in the UK, all in the countryside or just outside of towns.
+Ben Jacobs they are so cool looking
TheTravelingClat, they're still used, I go over one if I ever take the train to Leeds, it opened in 1848!
What is it with Americans and sheep? Don't you have sheep in the US??
You should've visited Bamburgh Castle Northumberland,it's stunning
Calls for a trip back ey?
I also vouch for the North East and Northumberland. I could sit here all day and talk about it but the whole of the UK and islands around wouldn't be seen in your lifetime. We're still trying to learn about it ourselves lol. So much history lost and awaiting to be rediscovered as is all countries, the whole planet to be exact.
I do have 1 suggestion, maybe next time you plan to visit somewhere, post a video and people can give you suggestions. There is also google etc lol :) BTW, when you were in Kirkby lonsdale, i guess you missed "Devils Bridge", it's a grade 1 listed building (late 1300's) and very popular for scuba divers and a meeting place for bikers, drink, swim, BBQ's etc :D I'm sure you'd of loved it :) EDIT* subscribed*
Totally agree. Too much to see by far.
just missed a reenactment event at the weekend that was taking place at bamburgh castle :p
John Jacomb
Who cares, Little Britain.
If you stand really quietly in the bottom of Malham Cove you can often hear the water running under the stones under your feet. It actually runs under the stones, through the limestone.
Eey ba Gum!
As a northerner who lives on the edge of nowhere its so weird to see people try and pet sheep. The countryside is the best place in England for definite, and there are so many hidden gems all around.
+Jamie Robinson-Woods it's really such a beautiful place
The geese (canada geese) and swan are friendly as people feed them. Usually take a loaf of sliced bread with my lad to feed the ducks/swans. Fyi useless fact - thats still a young swan that will get bigger, its illegal to kill/eat swans as they are the queens, and a fully grown swan is more than capable of breaking your arm (they're pretty just dont let them get too close lol). Glad you enjoyed more of the uk than just London, try somerset and cornwall next time (and scotlands west highland way is astounding)
Wow Ian this is a truly awesome comment! Thanks for the heads up on the swan that's actually really cool to know!
Don' fed them bred, it upsetstheir tummies, buy proper food or even fruit n veg.
Ian Wilkins Corn, chopped cooked vegetables, even breakfast cereals or a handful of chips - anything but bread ! It's not good for them, has no nutritional value but they come to rely on it as a source of food from people. PS - they can do you a nasty injury but they can't break your arm.
Welcome to the forgotten north of the england :D. I am Yorkshireman and it is is beautiful. I have many american friends and when they come over they are in absolute awe at the scenery we have and often say they think all of england is like how it is down south. Glad you found the gem of england. Also cumbria is a beautiful part of england which doesn't get the credit it deserves x
YES! Coming back soon and I cant wait!
London is one of the world's great cities and should be visited on any trip to my country, but there's a whole lot more to the UK than London. Remember medieval London burnt down in 1666 so if you want to see any remains of medieval cities you need to go to places like York, Chester or Salisbury. Most of our great castles are out of London (Warwick is spectacular and in North Wales castles are ten a penny) and also our palaces and great stately homes (Blenheim, Chatsworth, Hardwick House), our best mountain scenery is in Wales, Scotland and Northern England and Edinburgh, another beautiful capital city. There's our great maritime and music heritage in Liverpool and Manchester's nightlife is second to none.
If you only go to London it's like saying you know the USA just by visiting New York.
YAS
As Wikipedia would have told you: "The [Ribblehead] viaduct was designed by engineer John Sydney Crossley.[5] The first stone was laid on 12 October 1870 and the last in 1874.[7] One thousand navvies built the viaduct and established shanty towns on the moors for themselves and their families.[8]"
It really is surprising that this pokey little island has such vast and beautiful sights! Love the outro haha
+MiddleFloorDan really it's just such a swell place
I have seen much of the world, nothing stirs my heart like the countryside in the north of England.
Seconded.
Ribble viaduct has a great history of its own. Was owned by what was the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Its part of what became know to the train crews as the "Long Drag". From memory the line went uphill for about 17 miles and the poor firemen had to work hard. If any one is interested read about the "Race to the North". About the two great British railways companies competing for the fastest trains to Scotland.
The sheep on the side of the road, shout "mint sauce" and watch them run 🤣🤣🤣
How refreshing to see an American in northern England where I live. People think England is London and London is England. If you want to see England, get out of London. It isn’t a reflection of the way we are.
London is NOT England, like Disney land is America
Over a hundred men died building Ribble Head Viaduct out of a 2,300 work force, it was opened in 1871 the men are all buried in local church yards.
So glad you enjoyed Yorkshire. I'm so lucky to work all over the beautiful Yorkshire countryside and get to enjoy these views every day.
Well done for exploring past London. We go to the Yorkshire Dales regularly and it is so beautiful. I thought it was funny when Alison said Malham Cove was between 100-200 years old - It was formed by a waterfall carrying meltwater from glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age more than 12,000 years ago lol!!! For natural stunning beauty and very important historic area too I suggest you also visit Northumberland - best coastline in the UK, more castles than anywhere else in UK and the most unpopulated stunning scenery
The Ribblehead Viaduct normally has diesel trains going over but when u know that a Steam train rail tour is on the Settle to Carlisle line. You can go to the viaduct and watch the steam train go over
I live in the UK and love to visit places like this especially being from a big city its nice to get out there
+Wombraider 0151 yes for sure I know the feeling and England is so beautiful
Brilliant aha stayed up in the dales for a week a few summers ago the viaduct is absolutely insane great to see people visiting the same places I've been to round my country aha
I live in the Yorkshire dales ,this is why we like to call Yorkshire 'gods own county '
+JB Gaming such an amazing place
I'm from a town near Huddersfield. Years ago some friends and I cycled to Hawes one Easter and stayed overnight in Gayle, just down the road from the Ribbleshead viaduct shown here. When I say 'just down the road' it is actually a bloody steep hill and it had just started to snow when we set out on the return journey via the viaduct. By the time we got to the top of the hill the snow was inches deep and cars were turning back. Well we reached the turnoff at the viaduct and in the car park next to it there was an ice cream van! My mate, cold tired and fed up, got off his bike and went up to the ice cream seller and told him what to do with with his ice creams.
