Hidden Gems in the Cotswolds Episode 2 | Yarnton & Wootton to Charlbury, Finstock & Stonesfield 

We're here with Episode Two of Hidden Gems in the Cotswolds, in this edition focusing on the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Where's your favourite place?

I'm so pleased I found this most excellent program! He seems very informed and expresses it with love for the area. Not only that, but very soothing as well. I just lost my precious husband and this series helps by taking me to beautiful England. Many thanks.

New subscriber. I appreciate the knowledge you have for each village. I absolutely adore the history of your beautiful country. I’ll be watching more! Mary from Iowa, USA.

Thank you for this magnificent production and all the incredible research undertaken to bring this part of England to viewers all round the world. I haven't been to the Cotswolds since 1984 and look forward to spending some time there when this pandemic is over.

Watch before bed almost every day:-)

The cross you referred to outside of the church is almost certainly a preaching cross. They are found outside of many old churches and will normally predate them. They came from the time before the church itself when priests would go round on foot and it marks the place where they preached. Many marked a spot on a Ley line where, for many centuries before Christianity, pagan worship would have taken place.

Thank you Sir, and team, from South Africa.

Thank you for enriching my life and imagination, with a sprinkling of history.

These shows are enjoyable, educational and calming. Thank you so kindly for uploading. I look forward to the next one.

A pleasure to watch that's from a Yorkshire man wise some one could make same quality films on Yorkshire thank you

Thank you for highlighting smaller Cotswolds villages. We will be staying in Charlbury in March, and I have added some stops from your video to our itinerary :)

Please keep doing this! I watched this whilst waking up in bed this morning and it was absolutely lovely!

Simply brilliant . Thank you .

I know ha! You have to make audiobooks ! Ideal voice 4 IT !

You find such beautiful places. I like the Cotswolds, although l have never lived there, my partner has almost all her life. You have a charming way of relating the history on the places and buildings you show us. Charlbury looks gorgeous. Some of it reminds us of Cirencester and Tetbury.

Thank you 😊

I was listening to this without watching and i honestly thought it was John Hurt narrating. Anyone else thinking the same? What a fantastic voice this guy has.

Good afternoon Robin, thank you for the video.

love the new graphics! Love, Your American fan living in Wantage!

Thank you for all of these lovely videos. 🙏🏻 they’re so calming and they give me a sense of peace in this world of chaos. I enjoy watching them throughout the day when Im driving, exercising, eating etc. The Cotswolds are so charming!

I really love your videos. I really enjoy that you know your history as well. I have been searching for the village my great great grandmother was from. I'd love to visit the Cotswold and the rest of the country. I feel such a pull to it. My great great grandmother's name was Carrie Blydenburgh with Dutch decedents.

Sunday going to be cozy ) Greetings form Norway!

I know Yarnton for their garden centre which includes a Antiques centre. Great breakfasts.

thanks so much for this nice video the cotswolds are amazing greeting from mexico city for you and Ross!!

Weird how the entrance to the church at 8:30 has the Chinese writing for "enter".

Now Robin, I love your show and am truly an ardent fan. I certainly applaud your respect for tradition, the local communities and these wonderful treasures! However mate, I’m thinking there may have been other, lets say, more physicality related reasons, other than your genuine respect, which factored into dissuading you from climbing that bloody gate! 😁👍🏼

Hello Sir! There is a fan of yours from Turkey! I would like to learn what is the breed of your dog please?

Just lovely! I felt as if I was really there with you!! Thank you so much.

I just discovered your channel. It's delightful, cinematography is incredible. And the host is knowledgeable and endearing. Next I'll listen to the scary stories. Thank you and warmest regards.

Thank you so much from a Charlburian now living in North Idaho. I guess I must be a missionary. JML

I am a new subscriber from Argentina. Thanks for sharing! Great videos!

PS- Have you ever included the small church at Shorthampton (between Charlbury and Chadlington)? Some medieval wall paintings here which are quite remarkable.

Thank you, I enjoyed your vlogs🙏🕊✝️🙏

Good evening from a new subscriber in Canada. Educational with excellent location shots. And you have such a lovely voice. Well done! 🌹

Absolutely gorgeous

Thank heavens the Glympton house didn't end up with Alan Bond. He would have pulled it down and built a huge and tasteless hotel as he did with so many places he acquired.

Eynsham hall is also beautiful outside witney

Beautiful!!

Beautiful!!! Thank you.

In Woodstock there is a mr Churchill grave

I would think survival during the, “pandemic” would absolutely be impossible without buckets of beer! I believe it was the publican who provided the greatest public service to the community! 🍺 🍻 It just goes to show, the essential, direly important, symbiotic relationship between community and pub, which keeps us going! God bless beer!!!

Why is Britain so keen on selling beautiful property to foreign buyers? Just like much of London. Isn't it an enormous vulnerable condition to live in? I'm often at a loss when I try to understand the love of tradition, and the rather keen preference to keep Britain British, while foreigners with money are allowed to be owners of what I think should remain in British 👍

Thank you very much for this!

Waiting with a cup of tea and some biscuits...

❤👍🌎.

Such wonderful presentation. Thank you from Madeira.

Blimmey hidden gems not a truer word ever spoken i cannot believe the beautiful villages Love this channel Cheers Stephen 🤠✌️

Lovely. Yes concervation isn't appreciated. Until it makes a profit that is.

Hi Robin! You mention from time to time the wonderful old pubs on your visits to the villages in the Cotswolds. It might be very interesting to show us all the interiors of these vintage establishments. Just a thought. Thanks for all these videos!!! Cheers !!!

Hello. I am very interested in your stories.Please connect the Russian language in the credits.Since I don't understand a lot

God, the Cotswolds. It's like the The Stepford Wives, but for ageing English public schoolboys.

You are so kind and thank you for sharing the beauty of the cotswolds.

Love these vids and you have a great voice for narration. However this video has one or two anomalies regarding the local history. You mention a dinosaur jaw being found in 1824. Dinosaurs never existed and were an invention of Richard Owen who wrote a paper on them around 1840 then low and behold almost a year to the day their bones began being discovered everywhere and anything fitting the narrative that was discovered prior to this was deemed a dinosaur bone. Hence the whale jawbone discovered in your locality being re classified as a dino bone and as there were many other bones of sea creatures found in that area it makes sense that a whale bone would be found also. It is also worth pointing out that Richard Owen was a friend of Charles Darwin of the ridiculous evolution theory. Dinosaurs form part of the chain in that tall tale.

how exquisite the memorial @ 9:35

Great videos. I love your dog!

( : great job filming this one : )

Excellent! thank you!

Hello! Let's learn more about.
