Stratford Upon Avon and Oxford University! 

Also never seen anyone so excited over a Sainsbury's 😂😂 made my day

Nice to see tourists actually leave London and venture out into wider England. You can only get one perspective of a culture within a city. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

You know, it takes two Americans to grasp just how extraordinary the landscape and buildings and heritage of England are. They are nothing but praiseworthy of everything. I salute them.

Love that you love our country, but what I love most is that you are so respectful, so many people not just Americans traveling to the UK but anyone travelling abroad think it is funny to say nasty mean things about the country they are in. That is the reason people travel abroad to see things & try things that are different from home not to slag them off because they are different. Love your vlogs. Xx

You're not 'on campus' lol. You're in Oxford. The colleges of Oxford University are spread throughout the city. There is no, 'Oxford University Campus'. Though each college will have their own grounds. :)

William Shakespeare : Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more super super cute.

Visit Wales when you're next in the UK. Beautiful country with its own distinct culture and language; also famous for its castles. Caernarfon and Conwy Castles in North Wales are super impressive as is Caerphilly Castle in South Wales.

Walking around with coffee is so American. 👍

Loved it but please stop calling our country cute!

For those visitors to the UK who do not know anything about the Celts who lived here before the Romans arrived you might be interested as to how the the river Avon got its name. Some Roman surveyor or official, seeking the local name for the river, pointed at it and asked what it was called. The local gave a very logical answer he said River, which in Welsh ( a celtic language) is Afon or Avon. So the River at Stratford is the River River

Cute couple, loved your energy and I'm really happy you took that decision to travel outside London! The real Britain lies outside of cosmopolitan London, and these were some really nice spots. Peace and love. Come back soon! X

I'm so glad you both enjoyed England, our beautiful country! Loved your vlogs! If you ever head back to England you need to check out the Lake District in Cumbria (northern England) for some seriously breathtaking views, insanely picturesque English towns, the best pies in the country and a look into Northern English culture.

You walked right near where my grandma has a memorial bench, along the river in Stratford :)

Enjoyed your video guys. I’m a Londoner by birth but ran away to Scotland. It really does help me to appreciate my own land when I see others enjoying it. Glad you had fun 😁

I love it when Americans find buildings that are older then their country.

Enjoyed you video. May I point out one misunderstanding of terminology. In Britain, school is for children. When you leave school you might go to University. You might say I go to Uni.

The crimped edge of the pasty is used as a handle when your hands were work dirty to allow you to eat the main body. The crimped edge could then be thrown away . Particularly useful for the miners in cornwall who used to eat them at work.

I love your excitedness :) glad you had a nice time

It's lovely to see how respectful they are.also if they have ancestors from our beautiful islands then it is their history as well.i see more of our country through these videos than I have ever seen before.keep visiting and posting.xxx

Great video. I feel hungry just looking at that Cornish pasty. To vary 'cute' you could try picturesque, charming, quaint, sweet, scenic, picture-postcard, historic or pretty. Being in the birthplace of William Shakespeare it wouldn't hurt to expand your vocabulary.

Come to Wales, Visit our castles , I'm just up the road from Caerphilly castle 👍

I know this is posted very late, but - "avon" is the Welsh word for river, so it's the River River!

You have to be my favourite Americans in the uk,you’re both so respectful of British people ( some aren’t) I love your enthusiasm for everything x

It's great to see you guys visiting us, mainly because so many Americans don't have a passport. I have friends who visit me from Wisconsin and they are in love with England, so much so they want to live here. Stay safe and call again.

Please don't call historical places in UK "cute". A small child is cute, the fairy on the Christmas tree is cute etc. Perhaps beautiful or charming.

So lovely to hear from educated visitors and people genuinely interested in the City they're in? Well done you two... Enjoy your stay, please.

A word of advice to visitors to the UK that want to visit castles etc. Many castles, abbeys etc charge an entrance fee but if you join English Heritage you can visit most of them and places like Stone Henge for free as many times as you like

6:06 Stratford from the Anglo-Saxon Straet-ford, for here was a ford by which an ancient Roman road (street) crossed the River Avon. The ford eventually was replaced by a bridge, the present structure (Clopton Bridge) dating from the late-15th century. Any place in England which has Stratford as a part of its name is situate where a Roman road forded a water course, whilst Avon simply is the anglicized version of afon, the Celtic word for river. There are five rivers in England named Avon, the one flowing through Stratford-upon-Avon sometimes referred to as the Warwickshire Avon or Shakespeare's Avon.

Hey, Melissa. Thought you might like to know that the clock tower you admired at 3:30 is known as the American Fountain -- it was donated to the town by the Philadelphian publisher and philanthropist George Childs and unveiled by the renowned actor Henry Irving in 1887. Also (since you asked!), the riverside park at 6:17 is called the Recreation Ground.

towns are not CUTE...theyre NICE! there are a lot o towns in uk just like stratford-u-avon like york,chester,cambridge,oxford etc

The female of these American travelling couples are always so cute and full of life.

Hire a row boat on the river and see the castle from an unusual angle for just the cost of the boat!

Not stick shift- manual. Not “Crasont” it is “Cwassonn”

If you liked Oxford, then please visit Cambridge when you are next in England. On a warm and sunny day, it’s sublime.

Josh looks and sounds like Matt Damon. Great content 👌

I live 15 mins from here. I'm glad tourists love it as well

awwhhhh she pronounced warwick castle as war- wik not woh-rik that’s cute

"Oooh my god...this town is so cute" With 'The Inklings' Josh has done his research on Oxford

How do you do it? Everything you post is better than the one before. I'm really loving watching your travels. FYI, Warwick Castle is pronounced Warrick, yes, I know it doesn't make any sense at all but it's OUR language and we can mangle it any way we like. Keep up the great work......the ancient Englishman.

Sweet girl.........good bloke.........nice.

The mound in the top left of the picture at 10' 40" would be the original castle, a Motte and Bailey originating sometime from the first millenium BC/AD

Another classic by your good self. I'm loving all your videos there unique and very joyfully. Thankyou for spending time in this great country. I just hope the weather was on your side during your visits. Kev

Not far from Warwick Castle there is Kenilworth Castle about £6.00 to get in as I remember but it is a bit of a ruin. Once a very important castle in England.

I live about 40mins drive from Warwick, which is pronounced War-ick, no middle w sound.

Simply a great vlog. Love your commentary and the beautiful places you visited. The question is, is Oxford now your favourite town in England, or does Stratford hold onto its crown?

Aside from the note on pronouncing Warwick, Avon is also pronounced 'Avun' rather than with such a laboured 'ON'. Same with places like Birmingham - 'Birmingum', not 'BirmingHAM'!

Your enthusiasm is infectious and heart warming.

Sainsbury's cookies are indeed epic. Been fun to watch you lot travel around! Subbed :)

Josh/Melissa - what is your opinion of British food? People outside the UK often believe the food to be crap. Are their comments justified or not? Ps glad you're enjoying your stay 😊

The Americans say Stratford Upon Avon. The British say Stratford On Avon. Please say Warrick Castle, not War wick Castle.

People like you are always welcome back. Glad you both enjoyed it!

"It comes in pints" - good Tolkien reference! Melissa coming out with new names for the Eagle & Child is not without precedent, as some locals refer to it as "The Bird & Baby" 🙂 The round building you see at 11:55 and later walk past is called the Radcliffe Camera. It was finished in about 1748, so it is only a paltry 3 decades older than the USA! It is now part of the Bodleian Library (2nd largest library in the UK) and serves as a reading room. The camera is joined to the main library building by an extensive two storey underground archive room and tunnel called the Gladstone link; as you walked around the camera, people were probably studying under your feet! I like Oxford a lot. The feeling you expressed of being inspired to learn by the architecture was captured by the Victorian poet Matthew Arnold, who called Oxford the 'city of dreaming spires'. British comedian Russell Brand (Katy Perry's ex) made an interesting point once about the architectural similarity of Eton School, Oxford University & the Houses of Parliament. They all look much the same, giving the privileged elite like ex-PM David Cameron (who moved through all three) a feeling of comfort and familiarity not accorded to other people moving into British politics.

Thanks for posting your clips, its really good to see what visitors to the UK really think, I wish you well on your travels and come back and see us sometime your always be welcome.

I'm so proud that you like Stratford Upon Avon. (I live there)

Hey folks stumbling across this vlog while planning trips to London. Don't do the crazy car hire trip these guys did. Could have done all that much quicker by train. Or just hire the car near to you. The airport is only convenient if you are at the airport already.

9:25 That largest tower on the corner is known as Ceasar's Tower, built during the reign of Edward III, when the castle was owned by Thomas Beauchamp, 11th Earl of Warwick, third founder knight of the Order of the Garter which still exists today.

I do not generally believe at all in the paranormal. But, being in the dungeon of Warwick Castle about 30 years ago, with about four other groups of people, all of us experienced total camera fail. Nobodies camera would work! Got back outside and clicking was resumed! Something funny going on in that there dungeon.

Please, I liked your video but with so many travellers to the UK it seemed to be heavy on the food and drink, leaving aside the real treasures that you no doubt found (i.e. the architecture). You can get coffee and bagels anywhere!

Having a great time in Shakespeareshireville

Oxford university is more than 1000 years older. That is crazy! It's older The united states of america is around 300 years old. Putting things into perspective. A 1000 year old university, it surely is the oldest English speaking University in the world. Also no surprise it's ranked no1 in the world rankings of best universities

Oxford's even cooler if you happen to be visiting for work and you get to go places you can only go if your with a Fellow of the College - just a bit of a flex here.... It's still nice to see that there are people who are psyched about visiting my country what with COVID and the threat of a no-deal BREXIT looming like an enormous money pit. Please make better decisions with your country than what we have done with ours.

Warwick Castle is stunning but it's not even close to the most impressive. That said, shame you didn't go in. It is incredible and for Americans it would have blown you away. BTW Shakespeare section brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for the video.

Live near Stratford upon Avon,my wife always goes to the Christmas shop,open all year round. If you go again check it out! 👍Lol

Should at least have a bit of a look up north - Liverpool, Manchester, whitby, Edinburgh. So much to see, but the north is best for walking and outdoors holidays. Wales is also extremely nice btw.

I watched this and was hugely impressed by your respectfulness; thank you. It's fantastic that you were able to go to some of the generally lesser visited areas when it comes to tourists visiting the UK. Genuinely, you really had a great checklist of places to visit (Warwick Castle is beautiful I agree! Also just a quick heads up; we generally pronounce Warwick as you might say Warrick. We do tend to pronounce things quite strangely and I get some place names wrong all the time so it's very understandable!) and I hope you had a nice stay here in England and if you ever come back here then we welcome you all warmly!

At certain times of the year Warwick castle (pronounced Warrick) holds jousting competitions and have medical markets.

Coming from Oxford, I can't imagine what it feels like going inside universities that are older than your country. It's a shame we won't be around to see what American culture will be like once it's fully matured in another few hundred years. Glad you enjoyed the food!

You should have caught a show at the RSC :) Glad you went to Warwick castle it’s amazing, if you go to the “front door “ the car park its an amazing view over the moat and draw bridge

Nice Video but please familiarise yourselves with the regulations regarding the flying of drones in the UK especially in proximity to others

I worked around the corner from the very Sainsbury’s you visited. You’re correct. The cookies are insanely awesome

Lovely video - don' t pronounce the second W in Warwick though - it shoud be War-ick (not War-wick)

Stratford upon Avon is Latin and Welsh it means river street in English.. Avon comes from the Welsh word afon which means river in English

If you get the chance you should visit Warwick Castle itself, it’s a little pricey but it’s worth it.

Only an American would call Oxford University "a school"

You’re so well travelled so I need you to pronounce croissant correctly as in “cWasson” There is NEVER an R in the pronunciation!!!!

Dont say AvON, say Avun. Warwick is Warick, silent middle w.

Parts of Harry Potter were filmed in Oxford in Christchurch and also the Bodleian library.

Warwick is pronounced Warick ,and Norwich is pronounced Noridge. Funny old language isn`t it?

Oxford is most prestigious university on the planet.........

You're not going to believe this, but I was actually eating a Sainsbury's shortbread and chocolate cookie when you guys were buying them!

Love this video so much that I watched it again, again! You guys are so 'Cute'....lol

I to Oxford Uni and I find it funny that people just think it looks like something from Harry Potter. 🤣😂

You guys should get the English heritage trust memberships. They're really good to have in your pocket and you can visit any heritage sites listed.

The second W in Warwick is silent and pronounced Warick. When Dionne Warick first appeared in the U.K. the flyers used the Warwick spelling. She liked it and changed her name to this spelling as a result.

Warwick Castle is pronounced Worick. I spent the night there with nothing but a torch, it was dark, spooky and awesome!

Curiously Avon is also Welsh for river. Spelt afon but f in Welsh is prounounced as a v. Double f - ff - is prounounced as f.

Great vlog. So glad you enjoyed our lovely country. Also did you know spiral stairs in castles usually go upwards from left to right. This is to give the advantage to those defending the castle as most people are right handed and can swing their sword downwards onto the invaders.

They charge to see Shakespeares Grave ? we have gone to the dogs in this country.

What lovely people. Love from the UK

Melissa is such a little darling. Absolutely beautiful in every way.

Ashamed to say that Iive 20 mins drive away from Stratford and I have never visited Have the stuff you did

So cool to see you in oxford, it’s where I live and I’m so glad you enjoyed!!!!

Thank you for the respect you pay to your surroundings in this video.

It’s really nice to see you all genuinely enjoying some of the things the UK has to offer.

You should have gone to the turf Tavern! The oldest pub in Oxford

It’s pronounced Warick castle. The second w is silent.

I live in stratford and it’s so boring for me. seeing people freak out over this town made me so happy 😁

American ladies are super cool. Glad you love the U.K.

The Cornish Pasty was originally food to be taken down the tin mines by the miners

Oxford University a school ?? 😀
