Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 7:00 in the morning, today we are walking around Malmesbury. Malmesbury is a town in the north of Wiltshire, in south-west of England.
It is quiet now. The High Street will be busy soon as the food market is about to be set-up.
Malmesbury is a 100 mile drive from central London. The nearest train station to Malmesbury is Chippenham. The town with it’s Abbey sits proud at the top of a flat hill. The River Avon splits south just before Malmesbury with the River Avon flowing west and the Tetbury Avon heading north. Malmesbury is believed to be the oldest continually inhabited town in England. During an archeological dig remains of an Iron Age Fort were found indicating people living here as far back as 500 BC. Many of the buildings in the town date back to the 17th and 18th century. The Old Bell Hotel next to the Abbey is the oldest hotel in England, it has been offering food and a restful night to visitors since 1220. The main feature in Malmesbury is the beautiful Abbey. The Abbey was founded in the year 675, by an Irish monk - Saint Máel Dub. The first church organ in England was built here by a Saint called Aldhelm. By 1066 Malmesbury was a well established town of great importance being particularly well known as an encouraging place for learning. In the 11th century a monk named Elmer flew nearly 200 metres from the Abbey tower with self made wings, before crashing to the ground and breaking his legs. The current Abbey was built in the 12th century and originally had a 130 metre tall spire, sadly the spire collapsed during the 15th or 16th century. In 1651, during the English Civil War, Malmesbury was fought over at great length you can still find cannon and gun shot scars on the external stone walls of the Abbey. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries the town flourished producing fine silk and lace. Today the main employer in Malmesbury is the Dyson company, with their headquarters on the edge of town. I feel truly fortunate to have been walking around these streets this morning. Thank you for joining me on this early morning walk and finding out a little bit more about the town. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. If you have never been to Malmesbury I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. If you have been before I hope you enjoyed casting your mind back as we walked around. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.

A delightful walk! I've picked out a place or two where I would live - on a narrow street, perhaps with a bit of garden, and just steps away from all the shops and pubs! Ah, I can dream...

Thanks for sharing this village. Lovely place. Curious, do you usually record on early Sunday mornings? I notice that there is often very few people out and about even at 7-7:30. That was not my experience when I have been in the UK, though it has been a while, and I know this might have been during the Covid lockdown allowing only one outing.

Early mornings Saturday or Sunday are the quietest, Sunday usually the most quiet. Some of my earlier videos where done when there were still some Covid-19 restrictions in place. Thanks for watching :)

My home. England's oldest borough (with a charter granted by Athelstan, first king of all the English, grandson of Alfred the Great) and home to Elmer, the flying Monk. What many don't know is that the spire on the Abbey was actually taller than that of Salisbury Cathedral (before it was ruined by the dissolution of the monasteries) A lovely walk :-)

This is beautiful. I looked it up, it is in Wiltshire, northeast of Bristol. ;) The population is 5,380. You could do tours of England. Thanks for doing this video. Wikipedia: Malmesbury is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries

Thank you so much for these videos, I wished for something like this to pop up on the internet but I never actually looked for it, I assumed it doesn't exist. I was planning to go around places like these in the UK before Covid started, just to walk around, eat and sleep. I'm from Serbia and I hope this 'plan' will come true soon. I will watch every single of your videos to figure out my route.

It means so much to me.

THAT such a place exists just 160 kms off London (100 miles) is something truly unbelievable!!!.. am thrilled with this video!!.. am humbled, elated and yet feel wonderful watching this video..

Благодарю, Адам. Никогда не думала, что совершать виртуальные пешие прогулки не менее увлекательно, чем реальные. Особенно прекрасно, что мы слышим звуки города, звук ваших шагов и даже вашего дыхания на крутом подъеме. Это создает эффект присутствия рядом с вами. Мне даже кажется, что я дышу воздухом Англии. Прекрасный старинный город , аббатство. Особенно трогают корзины ярких цветов на каменных стенах, оградах. Обожаю цветы, они всегда к месту, всегда радуют глаза и сердце. Мира вашей стране, как и моей любимой Украине. Благослови, Господи, нас.
