Guys, this Yorkshire series is - without question - the single best travel series on RU-vid (and I follow dozens of channels). Of course, I’m of Yorkshire descent, but that’s not even why I love this series. Your videography is wonderful. Your research is exceptional. Your narration is flawless. Everything comes together in a relaxing and gentle flow that makes watching a pleasure. Why the BBC hasn’t snapped you up and given you a contract is beyond me. This is not flattery. I’m a longtime fan of this channel. But your Yorkshire videos are a cut above. Anyone who loves England MUST watch these. And, if there is an awards system for RU-vid videos, you MUST enter these. I very much appreciate all the work that went into them.
I second all of these statements...just a brilliant presentation of the area and all it officers...I have long desired to visit the area since seeing this...✨🤙🏼✨
Enthusiastically agree, wonderful channel, and I love his narration. He speaks at a serene clip, doesn’t go rabbiting off on tangents, doesn’t have stupid loud graphics popping up. This is the travel channel I’ve been searching for. 🙏🏽
Such a picturesque village. I would love to roam the streets & take in the beautiful scenery. I know in my heart I was definitely born in the wrong country....lol! Thanks guys!
@@MemorySeekers I was over there 2015. I was in London, Canterbury & Dover. My husband & I have a trip planned for September 2023. Thanks to your videos we plan on visiting York, Winchester & Bath. I absolutely cannot wait! I also have a lot of family history there. I love you guys & I truly appreciate your videos.
Absolutely delighted with your wonderful tours - I'm a real anglophile but have only been to England once and am unlikely to be able to go back, so I live vicariously through your tours!
What a lovely village, i appreciate u both with all my heart for exploring immense beauty of England villages, bringing back to the facts of once lived enormously.. streets , food, buildings, the whole picturesque is so bewitching & such a peaceful surroundings, all this just mind-blowing & so calming.. the video clarity & background music is perfect & mesmerizing, that I would definitely live my whole life in such a amazing village.. thank u for sharing
Thank you for this! I am ecstatic that I found your channel!!!!! I'm in TN the US and after watching every episode of 'All Creatures', the original, I fell in love with Yorkshire, therefore, I long to retire there someday!!!!!!!! 💜🙏🍁🍂
Time has stopped!!! I feel engrossed in this recording. Walking, sightseeing breathing. It's complete relaxation!!! This village is a fairy tale! Everything is so incredibly magical! Thank you for a wonderful, magical film!!! Best regards 👏😘😍
I really enjoyed this video. The town is so beautiful and seems to be beautifully kept the people there seem proud of the heritage. How lovely to glimpse the past in todays world.
Dear Simon and Will what a beautiful video , haworth is such a mesmerising village , we 've had the feeling of walking right next to you through the beautiful cobbled streets.Amazing ,and a great video ,all of the historic informations , brilliant ,thank you so very much sharing it with us.loved so much watching it.🤩🤩greetings from hamburg
Hello Erika, thank you for the lovely comment. So glad you enjoyed our walk around. It was so wonderful to be there and experience it day and night. So different.
I wish at least one American town or village could like like Haworth. I enjoyed your tour, and I also like your videos on the Bronte family. In this video, I can easily imagine a young woman in Georgian or 1840's Victorian dress carefully walking down a cobblestoned hill.
Years ago I was working in the old school .an American tourist asked if he could look round and take some photos. there was only me there so I told him I didn't think it was open to the public but if he was quick it should be ok, it was only an empty building with a few old desks and seats in a store room . He spent about 10 minutes looking round and taking photos . When he left he had a smile on his face that looked like it would last a lifetime. I have friends that live in Haworth and I drive through it every week , I don't appreciate what's on my door step
How lovely! You could almost feel yourself sinking back in time with the sun setting and the street lamps coming on. What a sense of history and time. Love the quaint little shops and cottages.
Lovely video! And great information about this history of the village, as always. The narrow streets and historic stone buildings help us feel transported back in time. Thanks for taking us along virtually!
I'm from South Africa, have only traveled through England twice in my life, many years ago, I'm green with envy when I watch these, the towns are simply gorgeously beautiful and the countryside unparalleled!
Lovely is the first word that always occurs to me whenever I think of the Village of Haworth. I still have the Bronte book I purchased at the local bookstore back in 1974. Spent most of my time there haunting the Church cemetery. It was the highlight of my student trip from Kean College in New Jersey. Does not appear to have changed much. Enchanting.
These videos are both lovely and informative. I live in the South in the US, where the landscape is quite different; thanks for bringing close-ups of Yorkshire to me!
The first time I visited Haworth was in ‘97. Apart from the literary attraction, I was especially fascinated by the Worth Valley Railway. I lived in West Yorkshire for a couple of years on board a narrowboat which was bui]t on the Calder Navigation & fitted out at Aperly Bridge. I then moved to a marina on the North Oxford Canal.
I was born not far from Apperley Bridge. My Father was a railway man when steam trains ran everywhere. I miss a lot about West Yorks and Haworth is fascinating.
Thank you for sharing a personal story, what a wonderful way to live on the canal. Must try that experience one day (even if just for a holiday). Always fascinated me!
Excellent tour of Haworth - the clarity of the filming was so good. I loved every minute of it. Yes, shame they didnt retain some vintage character of the Black Bull. Ive enjoyed your videos on the Brontes and even learned a few things I didnt know. Looking forward to Thirsk, that will be great to see as well. Really loving your channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much for a wonderful tour of Haworth. The night scenes were so atmospheric. As you said, just like stepping back into Victorian times. The village would look stunning at Christmas. You did an amazing job.
I was lucky enough to have been born at Haworth. Wonderful memories of the people that were alive there in the 1960's (especially "Harry the Hat" and Mrs Berry behind the counter at Southams Bakery. I also attended the Sunday School, which in those days was unchanged since the Brontes)
@@MemorySeekers Southams was the second shop in from the church steps and the stocks; opposite to what was (Michael) Snowden's green grocer which is now the craft ale bar. Next to Snowdens was a butcher's shop. The Tourist Information stored old furniture (not for sale. It wasn't a shop) The only "tourist shops" down the Main Street was Villette cafe on the right (top side of what was Mitchell's newsagent). and a little gift shop almost opposite. The bottom shop on the left (before you descend down Butt Lane) was a ladies hairdresser with all the hair dryers in a row by the window. Down Butt Lane in a little field on the left (before the Rawden Road by-pass was built) was a little blue wooden shack that sold sweets and lollies. Opposite the Sun on West Lane is the Methodist Chapel where we used to watch the Xmas pantomime. I saw Mother Goose and all those taking part lived in the village. My dad was the village bobby and helped on traffic duty when they were filming the Railway Children. He became drinking pals with Bernard Cribbens in the Black Bull. The final scene shows all the Haworth "big wigs" walking on the railway line, waving. Dad could name them all. My doctor was a Dambuster. Weaver's Restaurant was Keith's Café (Keith Ackroyd). Opposite there where there are now houses, was a petrol station. Up Dimples Lane (beyond the Rabbit Hill (known by visitors as "Penistone Hill) was a garage that did MOTs and such. The infilled quarry which is now a car park - was the dump for everybody's cars, including my dad's. Finally, on there was a cafe on the moors (near to the cemetery. It was on the news in the 1960's when a coachful of tourists heading for a cuppa, slipped sideways down into the field below.
You can imagine women in long dresses and shawls with woven baskets tucked under their arms to carry the groceries and men in cloth caps and waistcoats walking the streets. I love that Patrick had the forethought to push for better living conditions. Once again you've outdone yourselves. Thank you =-)
I live in Thornton Bradford near to where the Bronte's were born so have been to Haworth a few times but have never seen it at night it looked so different thanks for such a great video 👍
Wonderful wonderful wonderful!! The last bit of the video showing the evening with all those glowing lights on in the shops was quite magical. Thanks again guys.
It was a highlight for us as well. We were so lucky to be staying over nearby. So few get to stay in the evening when visiting and you really miss out on something special at that time of day.
As a resident of Haworth I loved your film. You've really captured the character of the place. Just a note, though. The "starlings" you refer to towards the end are actually rooks, hundreds of which nest in the trees in the church yard.
Thank you, it means a lot to know a local has enjoyed it. I am sure you have many more stories than we could ever know about the village. My bad on the birds, although someone else has said they are crows? Not that up on my birds.
Simon and Will, your work is enriching and delightful. Thank you. I’m wondering if you intend to explore Lancastershire, which is where my maternal grandfather was born and raised-in Low Bentham. I look at the Yorkshire vids and think that there might be some resemblance to the shire next door. As a Yankee (my grandfather, one Fred Bolton, emigrated as a young widower and married my grandmother in Trenton, Ontario) I have been to England, Scotland and Ireland, but did not manage to get to Lancastershire. I’ll keep watching and hoping! 😉❤️🙏🏼💥
I certainly hope one day we will back up that way and explore Lancashire. We live quite far away so would need a good week like we had in Yorkshire to get in lots of exploring.
Yet again a lovely journey. More cobbles and such steep walking, you will both be keeping fit while showing us this lovely area. Looking forward to next week. Thanks again cheers Cheryl 🙂
Thanks again Simon and Will for another great video. Loved it! Haworth looks like a little piece of heaven. If I ever made back to England I’d 💯visit there. It really is like stepping back a couple of hundred years. As I I’ve said before, the Bronte family and their stories moved me beyond compare. I’m grateful that I can visit them again thanks to your high quality videos. Take care of each other and as always I look forward to next week! ❤
What a fantastic video😊 I just love how you narrate all the relevant facts of these amazing towns, in your great storytelling voice. I felt as though I was walking along with you; your video was beautifully edited and presented. The rainy evening, with the glistening lights bouncing off the wet cobblestone street, was brilliant! I’m planning a visit to York very soon, so your videos have provided inspiration and direction to my travel schedule. I love your channel. Thank you again, for sharing the best of your travels😊
I so enjoy watching all your videos, it’s like going back in time. I simply must return to England some day and experience these beautiful villages for myself. Thank you so much 😊
I can’t believe I’m only NOW clicking on your channel when I’ve seen it scrolling. Finally stopped and I SM HOOKED! Definitely hit SUBSCRIBE right away. I’m too poor to go to all these places and you show them so well! The narration isn’t excessive but the narrator has a great voice. I can travel through you! Thank you for that!!!!
I commend your country on keeping history alive! When the money of a community dies,the people find ways to bring in new money with tourism and the like.Where here,if the money leaves,so does the buildings eventually.They fall into ruin mostly.The town buildings are lovely! Thanks for the tours!
This was one of the best.it had evrything from Yorkshire to church street,Inger bread to Tudor houses nd my fav. Brontte lifestyle.wenever i will travel yorkshire nd church street nd memory seekers are on my list
Another beautifully-produced video of this fascinating area. Your dedication in filming from early morning to night gave a wonderful impression of the town in all its moods. The potted history always adds a lot; the shockingly-low life expectancy shed light on just how different conditions were in those days - and how lucky we are now!
Thank you. I am loving all your videos. This one was particularly enjoyable because we got to see you 'interact' with the town, having the ginger biscuit - which gives more interest and also gave us time to digest all the historical information. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Unfortunately, poor as a churchmouse here, so can't contribute at the current time. Hope to do so in the future!
I’ve visited Haworth. It’s a picturesque place and well worth a visit. The only thing is you have to be fit as it’s quite steep. I couldn’t do it now sadly Me poor old legs wouldn’t make it.
Having found your channel, I'm really enjoying all of your videos ,they're done in an interesting and informative way that makes them a joy to watch, ☺️👍
Thank you so much for your interesting and beautiful videos! I'm still learning english and I'm often having a hard time to understand what I hear but I can understand everything very well in your videos. Awesome 😊
Thank you! That brought back a lot of fond Yorkshire memories while I had an afternoon tea break (Yorkshire Tea, of course!) Haworth is even lovelier after nightfall... I'll have to stay in one of the inns on a future trip and enjoy the quiet spookiness.
So glad you we stirred the memories! I would recommend staying the night, we are so glad we were near by to allow us to be there after dark. Well worth it.
One of the shops in the High Street is Wild's bakers and confectioners which sells many delicacies under the name of Grandma Wild. I asked if there was a discount for Grandson Wild, but was told No.
