I’ve lived in Ripon my whole life so it’s really nice to see the place through someone else’s eyes. Also my granddad saved that cabbie shelter, something I’ve always been proud of!

I wish I'd had more time there. I took a local bus from Knaresborough where I was staying to Harrogate, and then a double decker from there to Ripon. I spent some time in the cathedral, but just missed out on a tour of it. By that time it was getting on and I had to get back. Next time I'll spend longer there. It's a beautiful town. And the burger in Wetherspoon's wasn't too bad. Apparently you can walk from there to Fountains Abbey, which I'd like to do someday. The famous trainers... we call them running shoes, or just runners here.

Another gem and more memories. While courting my wife to be we had a trip out with my mum and dad in 1972. We stopped in Ripon, had a look round and bought a Yorkshire curd tart for a quick lunch which we ate at Aysgarth Falls, sadly they must have been on holiday as they were more like the Aysgarth Trickle. We carried on over the moors to Bowness on Windermere where we had a trip on the “lake” before having a meal and returning home. Both our parents are long gone and we are in the twilight of ours, thanks for jogging our memories. P.S. I might have mentioned this before, or it might have been Lets Walk which we also watch, my wife wondered if you trip over each other as you seem to like to film similar places. For those not living in places with Viking history, places such as Kirkgate, etc. mentioned in your videos, the gate isn’t an opening in a fence but a road, from the Norse gate. My nearest town of Huddersfield has a Kirkgate, Westgate, Northgate and Southgate but no Eastgate, The village where I live is Kirkheaton, in local dialect known as Yetton, the name Heaton comes from Old English "Heah" meaning high and "tun" meaning settlement along with Old Norse "Kirk" meaning church, at 650 feet above sea level I think we qualify.

My home town, moved to Cumbria 5 years ago really miss the place being a stonemason for over 35 years I served a apprenticeship for a stonemason at the Cathedral from 1983 to when I left in 1989 then I worked at Fountains Abbey as a stonemason for English Heritage in the 1990's I have made stone for restoration project on the clock tower in Ripon back in early 2002 also carved stone on St Mary's Church at Studley back in the day around 1998 i feel really lucky to have worked on these amazing ancient monuments it was a real privilege.

Oh that took me back. Visited many times (not for a long time now though) as I have friends who live there. Recognised a few of the pubs we visited, even saw the road the led to their house. Does the Ripon Hornblower still blow the horn at 9pm every evening in the square ? My friend's husband was originally from Masham and when they got married there, the gates of the church were locked and they had to throw coins over the gate to be let out, great tradition

I have been coming to ripon since I was a toddler. l love the place and as it’s only about an hour’s drive from my home we go to ripon at least once a month, quite often we will stay for the weekend in one of the local hotels. If you ever revisit Ripon you should do the canal walk with it’s basin and locks or along the riverside walk through the town, down by the water rat pub, both are lovely walks in the summer!

Ripon is my home town but I haven’t lived there since I was 6 years old since I’ve mostly grown up in Southeast Asia, excited to be moving back this summer 🥰

@davidlouisson8445 Год назад

I was born in airfare shelter in London Sept 40, and at two weeks oId was taken to live with Grandmother in Sharow, close to Sharow cross marking the ecclesiastical boundary of Ripon diocese. My first recollections as a babe sitting in a pram, was the distant view of Ripon Cathedral.

@Pinchton 2 года назад

Been to Ripon a couple of times and inside the Cathedral is wonderful, especially going down into the ancient crypt church. The market is great with lots of treats to be had. At night in the square they have the traditional hornblower doing his thing (I wonder if it continued all way through the various lockdowns or was 100's of years of tradition broken, probably someone from Ripon could let us know).

@simonh8748 Год назад

Hi Tony, the hornblower tradition did carry on the lockdown, in their own back gardens. Out of LD, it’s back in the square around the obelisk at 9 every night (I hear this from my flat!), after which the hornblower gives a brief talk on the history of the ceremony. Just a point of fact, there’s a lady hornblower too! The clip is good, but there’s much more here that can’t be included in 20 odd minutes, a day/evening trip is recommended. I love it here. True, it’s not without its idiots, but show me somewhere that isn’t.

@Pinchton Год назад

@@simonh8748 Think last time went was a lady hornblower that was doing it. Glad it went on, even though done in their back yards, for would've been a great shame that hundreds years of tradition didn't go ahead. Must admit times been spent a lot of time at the Cathedral and some time in the pubs around the square area. Would love to visit again in the near future and the only pity is that there is no train station (know you can get train then bus to there) with in the city. If there was one I think you would get more visitors. Times I visited was with a friend who drove but would love to visit on my own and see some of the city that haven't seen with my friend. I ave done a few videos on my channel about my visits to Ripon (2016 and 2017).

Yorkshire was a country while England was only a pup. Did you know kirk was used all over Yorkshire, meaning church and gate is a corruption of Gat which means street. So Kirkgate means church street.

@lsmith992 2 года назад

Yorkshire is bigger than many countries with a population of around 5 million. And it certainly feels like a country. For those born here its Yorkshire first as identity and English or British second. And unlike many English counties which you can cross and not notice, once here its a few hours before you've passed through.

@GimbalWalkTV 2 года назад

Thanks John - didn't know that - that's great info!

@dlittlester 2 года назад

Right, John. For example, York has lots of streets ending in "gate", reflecting the viking times.
