Our UK road trip continues and we are spending the day in Devon, England, more specifically in Dartmoor National Park, visiting the Dartmoor ponies, the Postbridge Clapper Bridge, and checking out the beautiful views Dartmoor National Park has to offer. We then head to Taylor's Tea Room in Ashburton, where we have cream tea for the first time. This was our first time trying English tea and cream tea is my new favorite thing! Today was a perfect day exploring Devon. We end our day in Falmouth, Cornwall, which is where we'll be spending the next few days before we head North on our epic UK road trip.

This is the way visitors should see England, doing your own thing, exploring little country lanes, not following some predictable itinerary set by a tourist coach company. Have you had a Sunday Roast or Full English Breakfast yet? Most pubs do a Roast, all towns will have a place to get a breakfast. Glad you're enjoying yourselves.😄

I'm South Devon born but have worked and lived in London all my adult life, with enjoyable returns to Devon where family still live. There's so much there to see and enjoy, from the delights of the coastal resorts (north and south Devon) to the towns and villages further inland. A moorland trip like yours on show is a fine way to explore further inland, to places like Widdicombe (old spelling) and Lustleigh - and many others. People return repeatedly to the county from far afield in the UK - even from glorious Yorkshire which has its own delights! And Yorkshire folk are famously proud otheir own part of the country. Devon destinations like Torbay, Dartmouth and further south - the coast road to Kingsbridge and Salcome past the great sweep of Slapton Sands where US Armed Forces rehearsed their landings on Utah Beach on D-Day - are surely "musts" for anyone visiting Devon (rhymes with "heaven"!), Happy travelling!!

Hello from Exeter in Devon! Great to see you enjoying Dartmoor! If you visit Devon again, I would recommend spending some time in Exeter, the cathedral city of Devon, we also have an historic quay and the remains of a Norman castle (Rougemont). Agatha Christie's house, Greenway, near Dartmouth, is also worth a visit, along with the south or north Devon coastline. You'll need to try clotted cream ice-cream next time!

Will add to this recommendation: There's a steam train that runs from Paignton to Kingswear, and there is a stop along the way for Agatha Christie's house, if you want to stop there. You can also take a ferry across the River Dart, and take a river cruise up the Dart and back, some of which offer the cruise on a Victrorian paddle-steamer. While in Dartmouth, look for an ice-cream place that will sell you some of the booziest rum-raisin ice cream you'll ever have.

The Cotswolds are some lovely little old English villages i love Bourton on the water in particular, the Lake district, Norfolk and Suffolk in the East of England both counties have some lovely villages, the Norfolk broads and some lovely beaches, wells beach in Norfolk is lovely come in summer though lol, love the videos.

I live across the road literally could have given you a wave haha! You should have stopped off in the Barbican Plymouth to see the Mayflower Steps where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the new world. Also from tudor times the Elizabethan House and further up from the house a hidden gem beside the Tudor Tea Rooms there is an arch way to an Elizabethan courtyard garden. Just up the road from the Barbican is Plymouth Hoe this is where Sir Francis Drake playing bowls spotted the invasion of the Spanish Armada. Also there is the House and statue of the UKs first elected female Member of Parliament Lady Nancy Astor who was an American. I know you have a lot of places to cram in. Enjoying your vlogs, enjoy the rest of your trip.

I am sure this has been mentioned before, but the reason the sheep are painted is also sometimes to mark if the sheep is expecting one or two lambs. Sometimes you might also see yellow markings on some sheep's backside, this indicated that the ram has has their "way" with that particular ewe. The paint the ram's undercarriage with yellow paint!

I'm so pleased that you enjoyed my home county. I live in Exeter, so Dartmoor is on my doorstep, it's just perfect on the moors. But as you rightly said and discovered, the weather on Dartmoor can change in a second - I've been up there many times when the sky is clear blue and the sun is shining and a second later a mist descends and hail and heavy rain starts. While back in Exeter, the sun has been shining all day. I would suggest checking out some of the North Devon beaches, especially Croyde Bay, I used to surf there when I was younger or if you enjoy castles and stately homes Powderham Castle is a good place to visit it's on the outskirts of Exeter, near Starcross which is on the Dawlish road. Have fun in Cornwall!

@dantibbs6232 2 года назад

Hi, enjoying your videos & thoughts on the Uk. Regarding the sheep, the blue on their back usually means the Tups (male) have had their way with the Ewes (female). They do this by putting a harness on the Tup, which has blue wax on it, so they know which Ewes are in lamb! It also means the farmer can stagger the timing, so there's no ttoo many lambs frolicking about!

@AndrewwarrenAndrew 2 года назад

Exactly, it's the ear tags that identify sheep and owner.

My family moved from Hampshire to a Dartmoor Farm just over 70 years ago but now my last uncle died the farm is sold. The thing with a cream tea is,they rarely give you butter to go under the cream and jam so if I know I'll be having a cream tea I take my own in a little container. I usually put the cream on first as sometimes it slips off the jam,it depends on the consistency. But I always forget if that's the Devon or the Cornwall way. Thanks for the lovely film.

Also where I live a place called Teignmouth(pronounced Tinmouth or teenmouth I believe both are acceptable yet people favour the first one) So this is the hometown of Muse, Keats spent a period of time here, the painter Thomas Luny lived here. Charles Babbage spent many years here. The movie the mercy was made here. I'd also recommend the neighbouring town of Dawlish home of the black Swan it is gorgeous! Also should you have the time before you leave Devon id recommend riding the train from Exeter to Paignton its called the riveria line on a sunny day its beautiful upon arrival in Paignton if its your thing located right next to Paignton Station there is a steam train which runs from Paignton to Dartmouth (train goes to Kingswear then you catch a boat to Dartmouth) one of the stops on that journey is greenway halt where the home of Agatha Christie is located.

See where you first saw ponies? See the valley and rivulet with deep sides? Mountain Biked that area. not far from the inn and that inn appears in the movie "American Werewolf in London). If you are around Brackell there's a place called "Caesar's Camp" that you can hire MTBs (mountain bikes) at, but you can also walk around, and a lot of people pony treck up there (and motorbike offroad too), but the woods nearby, southwest end, nearly at the southwest walking route in, is where they did the opening scene for Gladiator (with the Germans vs Romans). As for places around/in Dartmoor, there used to be a pony sanctuary, as far as I know still is, and to the north, outside, is "Marble World" that still blows thousands of marble glasses.

It's really nice to see people from the US visiting the coast rather than just THAT LONDON, Devon and Cornwall are 2 of the most butiful places on earth and when I've visited it hurts to leave and come back to the great city of 💥LIVERPOOL 💥 you seem like lovely people, take care and all the best for your future travels 🙏👍

Those scones looked so yummy and people should just put whatever they want first and eat. It is good that you enjoy your travels and it comes across so well that you do.

I'm a Londoner but now living in a small town on the southern edge of Dartmoor just up the road from Ashburton. I'm often up there with family or having a drive out in my roadster. The sheep are suicidal though. The whole area is littered with ancient sites dating back thousands of years. The beaches are worth the trip despite the narrow lanes. Try Bigbury on sea with Burgh Island accessible at low tide. Buckland Abbey, the former home of Sir Francis Drake is also a nice place to visit.

@TheMagicGeekdom 2 года назад

Oh nice! Sounds lovely.

@davedevonlad7402 Год назад

Devon sheep aren't suicidal,THEY OWN THE PLACE and they know it😜

Hi glad your liking the Devonshire cream tea. The scones when they are made without a template, on the North Devon coast near the Don Valley we had a B AND B where they had a garden cream tea table out the front, when we ordered we were expecting the usual 2 1/2 in diam. template sized scone what we got was about 4 1/2 in with almost a bucket of that morning clotted cream and home made raspberry jam oh my god I had to have 2 1/2 because I took the extra 1/2 away with me. It’s definitely spoiled scones from other places because they are definitely template scones. The ones you had were almost the same shape to my imagination. Damn it!!! Please always make a scone large, big not constrained by a biscuit cutter. Thank you!! Oh I see you’ve come across the West Country mile on your journey, when you drive along the narrow, steep hedged roads, don’t you feel, although you’ve only driven about a mile it seams like 3 at least?? See West Country mile Cheers both carry on.

@johnparker5752 2 года назад

Glad you’re enjoying a trip / visit to our Country and sampling bits of our heritage . I’ve visited your Country but it cannot be compared on a like to like basis to ours , because yours is so very big .

@TheMagicGeekdom 2 года назад

That's fair, but also we didn't expect the UK to be as diverse as it is for how small it is comparatively. It's been neat seeing the different regions.
