Hi from Oz!! Thankyou this is the best series I have seen on walks in the UK. Love your historical and literary knowledge as background. And no hyped up music!! Beautiful!!
Thankyou for posting this. Hi from Stu Australia!! I love Dorothys Grassmere journals so it was lovely to see their houses and places mentioned. Bless you!
Hi there. I wondered if you wouldn't mind me using this footage to play over my friend's piano piece she has written called Sensing Shetland? You of course will be credited on the video. It is not for profit. Thank you. Alice
Thank you for this nicely put-together video of Newport, a special place. As a person born and growing up there, it makes you appreciate the source of your being.
5I figured out that Dedham and Hamstead are the same name. Ded means stead. So one is steadham and the other is Hamstead. When I found out the name Dedham might aswell be Steadham. I thought it very strange that constable grew up near Dedham and went to the grammar school there, then lived and was buried in Hamstead. Ham means home.
I’d like to say thank you for your videos! Maybe it’ll sound a little weird but your work make me a little happier! I’d like to visit Great Britain someday and discover this place for myself. I speak about landscapes, forests, mountains, small villages, old castles… Not only about popular locations. Thank you! You’re great!!! 🎉
A British person told me decades ago that the farther north one goes in the British Isles the friendlier the people become. There are exceptions, but to me that viewpoint is correct :)
Just so you know .. Loch Fyne is pronounced as Loch 'Fine' not Loch 'Feen' !! It's an easy mistake to make though 🙂 Strachur old village is very pretty to look at and to pay a fleeting visit to , but a very odd place to live in with strange vibes . I lived there once for a while many years ago .
thanks for posting this (very well done)... the only trip I ever took outside the US was 53 years ago... 3 months in London (cheap then), since I just graduated as an English major...made the pilgrimage by train with my wife up to the Lake District...certainly an enchanting few days visiting many of the meaningful literary sites of my favorite poets...found memories...lovely to go back by means fo these videos...
Fab walk. I did wonder when I saw those raised bits by the road. I will visit and look for this walk. Where does it go to? Lancaster? A nice walking video this. Excellent. Wish we had the railway back into coniston. I always think train to lakes is best. As it's tooooo busy!
Don't know where you are getting your information from but the Twelve Apostles at Catacol were built in the mid-1800s as Clearance homes not for sheep, but for deer hunting. Catacol farm was originally built as a hunting lodge and the then Laird did not want the villagers disturbing his guests coming and going to the original village, which was up the hill beyond the lodge; nothing to do with spoiling his view. Also, no mention of each cottage having a different shaped front gable window (or supposedly why), or the Barking Shed at the mouth of the burn.
Lovely tour of the life and places George Herbert lived, served and worshipped. His was a life lived always for God. His poetry is another evidence of that fact. Thank God for his life!
Spent a week in lerwick with my partner. Loved it. We use to jump on the local buses, best transport to see a place. Every corner revealed a hidden gem. We visited just before the pandemic hit and hopefully will return. Its our new favourite place in the world
Many thanks for this. If walking back to Grasmere you could go round the south side of Rydal Water and then round Grasmere - easy paths. Or alternatively there is a regular bus service from Rydal to Grasmere.
I’ve found the house across the street from one on Grand Design but still can not locate on a map. Would love to see how the sweet couple are over 20 yrs on
I remember visiting the gardens many years ago: absolutely beautiful. Then went along the coast: dipped my hand into the sea and it was so warm! Thank you, North Atlantic Drift & Gulf Stream 🤗
There are some people's videos which I know I safely Like before I even what them. I loved the trip to the top of Snaefel - "As you can see, it's freezing cold and you can't see a thing." Beautifully filmed and presented, as usual.
Lovely! Thank you. I too love Wordsworth and made a video of the famous "Daffodils" just for my own pleasure. ( have never been able to visit but I feel as if I have been there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iWaTUgo8Vqw.htmlsi=w5l9OZmlMk9FgyWd
Thank you for this great video, with all the historical facts. My mother is from Islay, but she left in 1954 to do her training as a nurse. Still have relatives there, we went there on holiday every year until I was 15 in the 1970's. Pleased to say it looks exactly the same.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I visited the Lakes in May five years ago to walk in Keats’ footsteps. Now, I long to return to follow the paths that Dorothy and William walked.
Just outside Pembridge if you know where to go theres the most magical blue belle wood , i used to love playing in there as a small boy back in the early 1970s , i think i still have a cousin living in the village but most people i knew are now long passed
The good lady & I have made three day trips to Fetlar each time in June. Apart from the wind it’s quite pleasant & restful. But the ferry crossings will take quite a lump out of your day.
