The Earl of Warwick was the most powerful man in England in the 15th Century. He was known as Kingmaker.

My house is over 500 years old...cleaning it makes me nearly 600 years old.

Great video guys, glad you had a nice day. The main reason I started watching channels like yours is after living here all my life it's easy to get used to it all and see it as mundane and ordinary. I never want to lose that sense of wonder that you guys clearly had in this video and watching you experience it for the first time helps to remind me to never take beautiful towns like Warwick for granted. I grew up close to Conisbrough castle and my school would do a trip there at least once a year, as a kid I thought everyone could just got to their local castle to learn about knights and medieval life. It's only as I got older I realised how lucky I was.

Hi there Grace & Eric, I hope you are both enjoying your visit to my hometown and the place where I grew up. Warwick is a real gem, which is absolutely steeped in history. There is so much to see and so very much I could tell you about its history. The Earls of Warwick have played a very powerful part in the country's politics over very many centuries, and it was still the home of the Greville family, who lived in the castle during my lifetime until it was sold by the Eighth Earl of Warwick to Madame Tussauds in 1978, when I was 21. Warwick is not a city because it doesn't have a cathedral, although after Coventry Cathedral was bombed in WWII the Church of England considered making the Collegiate church of St Mary's the Cathedral for the Diocese. There is quite a story behind why the tower of St Mary's, which was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, stands over the road, rather than over the church nave when it was rebuilt after the great fire of Warwick. Apparently Christopher Wren's designs were rejected in favour of another architect who the town employed to reconstruct the destroyed church nave and tower. However town officials had go back to Wren, cap in hand, to ask for his help when they found that the other architect's church tower was too heavy and so wouldn't stand. You can still see the massive pillars for the failed tower inside the church nave. A little known hidden gem is the beautiful contemplative Quaker garden, which can be found tucked away down a short passage way, opposite the Lord Leicester Hospital on Jury Street. My secondary school, King's High school for girls, was until recently located in the town's centre and had class rooms in East Gate, Landor House and the semi-timbered cottages at the top of Smith Street. As a teenager, as well having a Saturday job in John Goulds the town's main book shop (sadly no longer there) I also worked at The Tudor House Hotel (which is located past West Gate on the Stratford Road) to earn money to go to summer music school. I could tell you so much more about Warwick and it's history, but you don't seem to be doing too badly picking up information locally. I hope you will be spending a good few days there. Co-incidentally, my parents also lived in Alcester until I was 2 years old, when they moved to Warwick. They both loved the town and stayed living there until my father's death in 2000 and more recently my mother's death in 2017. I do hope you have a wonderful time in Warwick and have lots of fun while you're there. Sue xx

The Shambles in York. If you really like the old buildings, then this is the place for you. By the way, if the scone crumbles it means it's fresh.

New subscriber here. Bravo Zulu on the tours. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A street level down to earth walking tour of English villages. As a fellow American I commend you both on your behavior & attitudes as far as respecting your neighbors and where you visit. Learning different customs and traditions of others while showing us all of the awesome buildings. I love your passion for what you’re doing. Hopefully I’ll get there (UK) one day. Peace Love & Groovies to all 😎

Watching your videos makes me appreciate my country more. I'm so used to the idea of old buildings and castles that even though I enjoy looking at them they don't blow me away like the way you were when you saw the castle. Seeing the perspective of someone who isn't used it really reminds you how special it is to actually have these things on our doorstops. (Also if you want to move here then we'd be more than happy for you to come, as long as you bring your wholesomeness with you.)

I'd suggest Chester to visit to see the Roman walls

Warwick Castle is expensive but worth the visit. If you were blown away by the small part of the exterior that you saw, I would love to see your reaction to the interior and the grounds.

York is an amazing olde-worldy place to visit, really old buildings and a massive cathedral that gives any castle a run for it's money.

Durham Castle along with the Cathedral are complete , built on a prometry surrounded by river wear. Pure Beauty :-)

If you want to see more lovely intact castles I recommend Alnwick (Where they filmed a couple of the Harry Potter movies) and Bamburgh both are lovely and an interesting thing about Bamburgh castle is that some of it has been converted into flats. Also Jam first.

You two are so lovely. It’s a joy to watch you really enjoying yourself and appreciating all the things that go to make our little country so special. Great stuff! Maudlyn

I can’t believe you went to Warwick Castle and for £26 you did not go in. You missed such such an opportunity. Warwick castle is amazingly.

Lived in Warwick all my life and very proud and happy to have done so. I had relatives that worked at the castle from the 1930s to the late 1970s. One was the head groundsman there, the other a lady in waitiing. They actually lived in one of the wooden beam houses that you saw. You missed out hugely by not taking a walk past St Nicholas park and viewing the castle from the castle bridge. I have lived here for 50 years and it never fails to take my breath away. I highly suggest looking up 'castle bridge view warwick' in a search engine

As usual , an entertaining and enjoyable video . Thanks you two .

If you find yourselves in Dorset, it’s well worth a visit to Corfe Castle. It’s a national trust site, a castle ruin in the middle of a very pretty English village. Sit in the garden of the Greyhound pub and you can see the ruins.

loved this very much, I’ve lived there but I’ve never had much feeling for it. seeing it through your eyes (plus pre-covid nostalgia!) has made me see its beauty 😍 especially love the historical facts! (also, warwick castle to me has always been a theme park with no rides, but still pretty!)

I love your passion for learning the history of our fantastic country! You must visit York, full of amazing history! I just wish that the UK Youth would care as much as you guys do. Love this channel

I could watch you two all day. Keep up the fantastic work.

Come to Shrewsbury. Then travel south for Stokesay castle- small but perfect. Later go on to Ludlow.

It's probably worth buying a National Trust membership while you're here if you intend to visit a lot of historical locations, not all castles and stately homes are part of it but most are and the member discounts are large enough to save you money if you're visiting enough of them.

That was my favourite video you've done. Full on comedy and sweetness and a bit of a history lesson to boot.

Love the enthusiasm - and real interest in what they see on their walks. Walking is the best way once at your destination wherever it might be.

If you’re looking for more castles to explore you should definitely check out Windsor Castle, it’s the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world which is pretty cool

I love how good your production quality is getting - the footage is beautiful and the music fits so well! I'm a Warwick graduate (the university is actually in Coventry), but I never visited the town of Warwick during my degree, so this was a nice little guide to it for when I eventually make it out that way. Leamington Spa is really close to Warwick and it's a lovely Regency-era town - even though it's so close, it's very different. It's quite a long way out of the way, but Norwich is also a good place to visit - its castle and cathedral are both intact and open to the public (the castle is £3 to visit at the moment, but even if you don't go in there are excellent views over the city from the outside), the market is one of the largest and oldest in the UK, and it's also the most complete medieval city in the UK. It's got a huge creative/hipster scene nowadays, and according to local legends, there's a pub for every day of the year and a church for every Sunday within the city walls.

Really glad you enjoyed your visit to Warwick, looked like you have some good fun. Looking forward to your next outing.

Loving these walking tours you two!! What a magnificent country studded with historical gems and I look forward to visiting soon 😎 Your style reminds me a lot of a Samantha Brown and Rick Steves travelogues. Keep it up!

Aw you're in my home-town! So nostalgic, because of Covid I've not been back to visit Warwickshire all year. This is lovely x

I’d recommend Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon if you’re staying close to Warwick. They’re both close by and have a lot of history.

I loved watching your tour. So pleased that you enjoyed Warwick! Bless you!

My favorite kind of video; absolutely cant wait to see you!!!!!! 🎉😘

You'd love York and Lincoln if you love castles and old 'quaint' places to visit. I'm off to York on Tuesday for a couple of nights (it's an hour away from me) and it's one of my favourite places in the world. 😍

Watching your videos makes me appreciate all the beautiful landmarks and awesome history in the UK. I live in a small village in Scotland that has a little castle and little old shops that I now stop and admire when I didn't before xx

Found this channel quite recently. I love how much work you put into your videos. Love your walking tours. Never been to Warwick but will definitely be on my list! Definitely cream before jam. Laura xx

Pure joy to watch my friend! This is what I am striving for in my videos!

Eric is always so smily. Cheers me right up. Enjoy the weather its going to get colder and wetter!

Jam first 🙌🏻 I came across your video of trying snacks yesterday and have since watched lots of your videos! Looking forward to more. I’d love to see you guys walking around Cornwall. The castle at st Micheals Mount is beautiful.

Very enjoyable video! Thanks for sharing👍

You two always bring a smile to my face! I haven't been to Warwick for over 20 years. I think I should visit again.

I went to high school just down the road from Warwick Castle. Occasionally the peacocks from the castle would randomly turn up at our school and just stroll across the playground whilst we were trying to play football or just chill on the roof of reception 🤣

you two are so adorable and its so lovely to travel around with you

Nice videos :) and nice to see your having fun and experience culture around different locations

Great vid guys. Please do more of our beautiful country.

This is terrific. I've been to Warwick a few times, lovely place. One thing to mention - you cut the scone wrong :) You're supposed to cut it horizontally, that way you have a bigger cream-and-jam-spreading area which won't crumble as easily. You guys definitely need to go to the Peak District in Derbyshire (just a little north of where you are), between Manchester and Sheffield. There are some fantastic places there to explote that I think you will love - market towns like Bakewell, Matlock and Buxton; villages like Eyam (has a history with the Plague), Grindleford, Castleton; Hathersage (where Robin Hood's Little John is buried), Edale; Peveril Castle; Chatsworth House and Edensor. You must eat some Bakewell Pudding - a dessert!

Make your way to Wells, Somerset and visit Wells cathedral, very impressive place and can also visit cheddar gorge, another lovely place near to wells

I was really surprised by your excitement with seeing the castle. As a person living in Europe my whole life it is just another castle... all Europe is full of castles, smaller, bigger, ruined, renovated etc. I like that you are showing a different perspective and seeing it with different eyes makes me appreciate that I was born and I am living on such an amazing continent as Europe. Btw. cream first, jam on the top - tastes better

Another great vid 👍

Spent a lovely weekend in Warwick in 2013. My best friend had his wedding in the Castle.

What a charming couple you are. I’m enjoying seeing England afresh through your eyes. I have been to Warwick but so long ago that I’d forgotten just how beautiful it is. We have plenty of castles in the UK to keep you guys busy sightseeing!

Great video I really enjoy it. Hope you have a great time exploring. Hope you get to try some of the country side pubs.

Thank you for looking at our country with a fresh pair of eyes and making me appreciate all the things that are beautiful in our country and more so in these difficult times. We would love it if you were to settle in the UK in time to come. Meanwhile enjoy your time here and keep safe and well xx

Where I live in Kent by walking on one road you go from a 1045yr old church, a 260yr old folly and a 115yr old school a cancil estate form the 90s and a 250yr old hamlet and a pub then its farms

I love watching you guys. Great work peeps xxx

Had I but known I could have said hello to you :( Lovely place to visit, and excellent castle. Glad you enjoyed it

It seems so strange to me that you’ve only just been to your first castle! Growing up in the UK, castles were a very common school trip (and desperate attempt to keep us entertained by our parents during the holidays) destination!

Winchester is definitely a place you should add to the list, it's the most beatiful city! Also I have to agree with Eric on the scone front!

I've just become obsessed with this channel lol, you two are so cute!

Thanks for a great tour guys, if you are ever in my neck of the woods down in West Sussex there is the town of Arundel with a beautiful castle built in 1067 so very similar in age to Warwick castle. I always enjoy your walking trips. .xx

Dover Castle is perhaps the most fascinating and complete Castle, complete with a Roman built lighthouse. Dover Castle is a must.

There’s a great view of the castle from a bridge going over the river Aven just down the road A425 from were you were you found the second pillar box

Ah you guys were just down the road! Happy to see you had a good time :)

Definately cream first haha , love the backing music added to the video and great filming too

For castles, try and get to North Wales, caernarfon, conwy and harlech castles are great

Eric, the greatest cup of coffee I had is in the student cafe at Warwick University

love your video. thank you. even though I've lived in England for over 4 decades, I've learnt a lot.

Love the walking tours!!

4:00 and the trebuchet gets a reference. Did you know there's a working version in the castle grrounds which is pressed into action for the tourists!

It's nice to see you appreciate all the little details. I find most English people don't really pay that much attention to the history and beauty but we totally should. Thank you for the wholesomeness :)

Looking forward to your walking tour of Chester, lots to see here I think you'll like :)

Just been to the tea room sat opposite the armour after watching your video, thanks guys 😄

I'd keep away from the Devon Vs Cornwall cream tea war if I were you, there have been many casualties

If you're ever in Scotland you should check out Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh in general it's stunning 💖

When you took the picture of the second post box that is where I took a photo of that and my now departed mother. Even though the castle charges a quite high price for entry I paid for both of us as I had a feeling that would be the last trip I would make to England with her, which turned out to be true. The city and castle are gems and I am so pleased you were able to get to see the place. Cheers.

so glad you got to enjoy my home town , wish i had known you were there

Hey. If you ever come to Devon you should try to visit Castle Drogo which was the last castle ever built in England. :0

I know that some of the grounds at Warwick castle are used in Nativity 2.

Ahhhh I LOVEEEE Warwick! Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I do :))

I always enjoy your videos but this is more enjoyable than most. It reminds me of Bridgnorth (Shropshire) where my sister lived for several years. Visit Bridgnorth if you can - the river Severn flowing through the middle, with half of the town up on a high cliff. Steep steps going up, a funicular railway, a castle, and even caves in the cliff side where people used to live even until the 1940s.

"as a sidequest" should be said before all "optional" things that you can do haha.

Having lived in the West Midlands all my life, I’m ashamed to say I’ve never visited Warwick! I think you might have just changed my mind about visiting!

Welcome back. Cream first 😁 Beaumaris is my favourite castle.

Great video. I have also wandered the streets of Warwick & visited its horse race track! You should try visiting York, which has an even better castle (and a horse race track!). Two things you must always do in York are to do one of the ghost tours and have tea in Betty's Tea Room.

Head to North Wales, some amazing castles there. If you join Cadw you can enter all of them for a single fee of about the same as you had just for Warwick

Never mind the jam and cream what was that way of cutting the scone?

I first got a train down to Warwick from Solihull around 11 years ago. Took photos of most of those buildings. Most recently (last year) got the train down to Warwick and walked up the Grand Union Canal towards Warwick Parkway. You could also visit Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Lichfield to name a few Midlands towns.

I enjoyed that. Learned things I never knew and should have. Pity you couldn't afford to go inside you would have loved it. Thanks ❤

If you like Warwick you’d love Lincoln - it has one of the few remaining complete castles (which houses an original copy of magna carta) and its cathedral was the tallest building in the world for 250 years

You have to visit Upper slaughter, lower slaughter and bourton on the water. Not too far away from where you are. Beautiful places. 15th century villages

I love your enthusiasm for our historic buildings. We really don't appreciate it enough because we are just used to it.

Great video I stumbled across! Glad you came to Warwick. Definitely visit the Castle (cheaper tickets bought from the Visitors Centre by the Okens Tea Shop. You must go look in the (wonky!) Lord Leycester hospital by the Westgate (Loads of filming done there!) and the St Mary's church too. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. Come visit us again. (Cream first, dollop of ham next is my vote 😁)

Fun fact: Warrick Hunt is a derogatory term for someone who steals your pint at the pub! 😂

i live in bath lovely old town

The music used in the Scone jam and cream scene is here. Acoustic version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0MaFKXJNirc.html studio version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7HkNznrecPI.html Also used when grace runs into the sea during the Northern Ireland walking video.

Ravens, thanks very much for visiting my home town! As you alluded to, it's a brilliant place to live. The architecture is interesting, as is the history. If you decide to come back I'd be very happy to provide a locals view, and some of the interesting bits off the beaten track. For instance, the lane you walked down to get a view of the castle was owned by the Earl of Warwick, who lived in the castle. He put the road up for sale, and all the people on the street clubbed together to buy the homes they had rented from the Earl, for generations in some case. They managed to persuade the bank to give them a zero interest loan so they could keep the community together!! I can recommend a few good pubs too ;)

Warwick Castle was a location for Merlin (a TV BBC series)

Would definitely recommend visiting Northumberland. We have a lot of castles up here I think you'd really enjoy seeing including Alnwick castle which was used in Harry Potter

I'm so glad you two are back in the UK!

Warwick castle is vast and you can easily spend a full day exploring it. Very important place in English history as it was the home of the Warwick family who were key players in the Wars of the Roses in the 15th C which eventually led to the Tudor's taking the throne from the houses of York and Lancaster.
