Top 10 Places To Visit In The UK! | Americans React | Loners  

One massive omission was The Lake District. In my opinion not just the most beautiful area of England (and there's some hot competition) but one of the most beautiful places in the world.

It’s a shame the Lake District, the Cotswolds and the West Country (Devon, Somerset and Cornwall) weren’t in the video because they’re all epic.

Your choice of subjects and your comments made me subscribe, but the layout of the screen is horrible: 1/8 for the video you're reviewing and 7/8 for the both of you. Some people view this on a cellphone, imagine! My suggestion: When you are watching, let the video fill the screen, with you both on a small part. Before and after the watching, you both fill the screen. If more people think, this might improve viewing your videos then give this comment a like 🙂

One thing you have to realise is that a lot of British people LOVE to moan about London and other places in our own country lol. It's just the way we are. We whinge about everything and take the piss out of everyone.

The narrator said Mount Snowdon is 10,085 meters high. That's higher than Everest and clearly not true. It's 1085m.

No Lake District ,no Peak District , no Yorkshire Dale's, no Yorkshire moors in no Yorkshire or Northunbelrland , in fact half the country is missing !!!

As a Brit there are many places not on the list, the list in the video in my opinion is also beautiful. Check out; Cotswold area The Lake District Oxford Cambridge The lochs in Scotland Portmeirion Village In wales I could give you so many recommendations, we are a nation with lots of diversity.

The Lake District is a must see .

With her sarcasm, she would fit right in, in Britain

He missed a hell of a lot of good places. Southern England had some wonderful sites - The New Forest - designated a royal forest by William the Conquerer in 1079. Over 71,000 acres of forest and heathland with ponies (and cattle & donkeys) roaming free on the common land. Less than an hour away is the South Downs National Park - rolling chalk hills stretching 628 square miles over 3 counties. Beautiful landscapes and loads of history. The ancient city of Winchester, Hampshire has a great cathedral. 10 miles away is Alresford known for it's watercress beds and it's heritage steam railway.

Scotland is well worth a visit. Edinburgh best place to base yourselves, and it's not a big country so it's easy to get around. The train journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow takes 50 minutes. You can also get a train to the Highlands, or hire a car and drive around. It would take approx 3 hours to drive from Edinburgh to Inverness (the capital of the Highlands). Only word of caution, the Edinburgh Festival takes place in August. It's the biggest arts festival in the world and attracts a huge number of visitors, which in turn means accommodation costs go through the roof.

I live near the mountain in the shot where the word Snowdonia was on the screen, it's called Tryfan and the first expedition team to successfully summit Everest used it for training, it has no footpaths to the summit as it's just one big lump of jagged rock, so you have to scramble up using your hands, it's a cool place to visit and the worlds fastest zipline is just down the road too, you can get up to 125mph on it, the ponies in the next shot are the famous Carneddau wild ponies, they live up in the mountains all year fending for themselves then once a year all the local farmers round them all up so they can have a health check. Even though I live in the middle of nowhere in the mountains I love London, it's an awesome city, I'm an artist so I love going down there to look around all the art galleries.

Pound for pound there are unbelievable areas of Britain...you could spend 10 yrs over here and not even scrape the surface...thousands of years of history and a lot of it hidden

So im probably concurring with one or two other comments below - so here goes for England ( im an Englishman so guess Im biased ) starting in Cornwall - 1 Tintagel Castle - King Arthur`s Castle and Merlin North Coast of Cornwall - whilst in cornwall St Michael`s Mount Island - Fowey and Looe old fishing ports - The Minack Theatre , Port Isaac and finally Charlestown - made world famous for filming of old frigates and BBC Poldark series - lock system to keep old tall sail boats in this quaint little village - DEVON - Burgh Island 1920s Art DEco Hotel that get cuts off from the tide and used in Agatha Christie novels - Clovelly beautiful devon coast village - Falmouth - Dartmoor where Sherlock Homes " Hound of the Baskervilles " there is I believe an actual Baskerville Hall - Barbican and The Hoe in Plymouth - SOMERSET - Bath old City with the Roman Baths and beautiful shops - Montacute House , National Trust House - Glastonbury Tower , linked with King Arthur and King Alfred and of course The largest Music Festival in June THE GLASTONBURY MUSIC FESTIVAL going on for 60 plus years - Exmoor a beautiful Moor with Tarr steps and little hamlets with with pubs - Wookey Hole in the cheddar caves of the Wookey Witch and Cheddar Cheese -WILTSHIRE Stonehenge of course - Stourhead Gardens - Avebury ancient stones smaller scale to stonehenge and lovely village made famous by Dr Who in the 1970s with the most popular Dr who Tom Baker - GLOUSTERSHIRE - Cotswolds lower Slaughter and Upper and Bourton on the water and Bilbury - these are world famous places and can be a bit touristy when its nice weather - there are some beatiful walks around and skirting the cotswolds - DORSET - Corfe Castle built by the Normans and destroyed after English Civil war - it has beautiful walks around hill tops and village with steam Railway , - Lyme REgis with the beautiful cobb harbour made famous by the film The French Llt Woman in the late 70` , Gold Hill in shaftsbury made famous of the Loaf of bread TV Ad - Jurassic Coastline of Durdle Door and Chesil Beach - Poole Sandbanks famed for where the rich go and muliti millionaire Houses on the Beach - but has great sailing , boating - studland Bay with its great beaches and nature reserves and of course OLD HARRYS ROCKS - there are some great cycle rides across the Heath to Corfe Castle - you will need to use the Chain Ferry to get across - Poole has the 2nd largest natural deepest harbour in the world . Thats it for the West .. I hope thats wetted your appeitite .. but with England you have to be prepared for all weathers .. so definitely bring shorts and T shirts - but you will definitely need waterproof jacket , fleece and other warm clothings because it can get wet even in the summer time - well this is england a😀😀fter all .

We drove to the Isle of skye last month through the Scottish Highlands in our Audi TT ... jaw dropping scenery and roads! We've climbed snowdon too, also amazing !

Lake District, Cotswolds, Peak District, North Yoor Moors, Robin Hoods Bay, Cornwall, Devon, Snowdonia...... the list goes ever on!

Interesting fun fact, Loch Ness(of Nessie fame), contains more water than every lake in the whole of England and Wales combined. You have to pay to go into Eilean Donan castle. It's just over $12 to get in.

Cornwall , check out St I'ves , porthcurno , minack theatre , and Devon x

I went on a road trip by bus between cities for a week: Bristol, Bath, Oxford, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh. Honestly cannot say which was best and have to see. They were each very different. Depends what you want to see. Bristol student city, active. Bath frozen in Victorian times. Oxford the assumed elitism in beautiful architecture. Birmingham the big, active, industrial but gentrifying city. Liverpool the Beatles and the port. Edinburgh the Scottish middle age city.

I've visited Stonehenge during the summer solstice - you watch the sun go down then you stay up all night and then on the longest day, the sun rises over the heel stone...magical!

I live in england, have been to scotland many times, done ben nevis, swam in loch ness, did survival coarses up there, Scotland is of the charts for beauty

Weather wise think of seatle we are on par with them. And rain wise nyc, Rome +sydney all get more rain than we do.

I live on the Jurassic Coast, and got married on the Isle of Skye! The UK has such an amazingly varied landscape. Come on over, you'll love it. 🇬🇧

15:04 the Isles of Scilly. It's tropical there because of the Gulf Stream. It's sunny over the year.

You was talking about Summer Solstice when your aloud in the stones for that evening and night, people queue for days lol

Top 10 places of mine will always include Isle of Skye - it's a whole other world during the summer truly feels like youre in a fairytale, the sky and sea are so blue you feel like you're on another planet.

The castles have to be maintained, whether they’re in ruins or intact, so there is usually an admission fee with a gift shop, cafe etc incorporated into them somewhere. They’re everywhere in the UK.

An Interesting fact about Stonehenge is that if you put your phone on the altar stone in the centre and play the ringtone, inside the circle you can hear it but outside you won't. I took a bunch of students there a few years ago and their conclusion was it must have been a stone age rock festival venue. lol, kids

I cannot believe he didnt mention the TT motorcycle races on the Isle of Man. He barely even touched the East Coast or the middle of the UK. I`m from Derbyshire and there are World Heritage Sites apart from the Jurassic Coast. I live near one of them!!

I would avoid the cities if you visit the UK (Edinburgh and York excluded, they are great), The Scottish Highlands, Lake District, Parts of Wales, Yorkshire, Devon and Cornwall and the South Coast are the kind of places to go IMHO.

Jurassic coast does not consist of chalk cliffs but sandstone. The World Heritage Site extends from Orcombe Point in Exmouth, Devon, and continues for 95 miles until Old Harry Rocks, near Swanage in Dorset. The picture of the white cliffs is called the Seven Sisters. Seven Sisters Country Park is situated at Exceat, near Seaford, East Sussex, BN25 4AD. The Park is well served by buses from Brighton/Seaford/Eastbourne, and from further along the coast. All buses stop at the Park entrance. There are regular rail services from London to Brighton, Seaford and Eastbourne.

The weather can vary a lot in the UK. It can be icy cold with Arctic winds. It can be mild, wet and windy from Atlantic fronts. Or it can be a scorching heatwave from winds coming up from the Sahara. Or anything in between. It all depends upon the shape and location of the Jet Stream. It's generally wetter in the west on the Atlantic coast and drier in the east along the North Sea. Though in Winter, the winds off the North Sea can be brutal. May, June, September and October are usually the more comfortable months.

Great stuff, if you like hiking. But if you want to have fun might I suggest a few more. Camden Town market in London. Full of quirky shops and good pubs. Liverpool the home of the Cavern Club. Where the Beatles graced the stage. Along with hundreds of pubs having live music.

They stopped Stonehenge free festival in the 80s. I went a couple of times. You may be thinking of Glastonbury which is massive

There are too many astounding places in Our islands to list in a comment but I'll start you off with 3 places in Scotland - Skara Brae Luskentyre Beach Fingal's Cave Countless others though. How fortunate we are. Be well, cheers from Scotland 🍻

I live in the same county as the Jurassic coast. Even the inland parts of the county are beautiful. Bronze Age burial mounds, Iron Age hillforts,Medieval castles and Abbeys in small towns nestled in the rolling fields and woodlands. It has a storehouse of old and mysterious local folklore and legends. It's a magical little corner of the country that has managed to retain its Ye Olde England charm in the face of modernity.

London, The Cotswolds, The Lake District, York and Edinburgh tend to be on most Americans site seeing tours. Best to catch York during the Jorvik festival. I used to scuba at Capernwray in the Lake District, beautiful place, you simply have to take photos

If you go, get a travel guide for each of the destinations you intend to visit, it will answer all your questions so you can be sure not to miss anything, if your visiting city tourist areas pick and choose what you want to see, there is so much and you can get easily side tracked and spend more than you intended to, UK isn't cheap, public transport will take you almost every where cheap off peak times and day ticket deals are also good, hope you enjoy a visit to the UK so you can ago home with wonderful memory's.

There would be the summer solstice festival performed at Stone Henge by druids each year. The hole structure was a pagan religious site and the stone circle is all that is left of what was originally a massive complex that covered miles around the main structure. Just take on board the fact that some of the stones were transported to this site from Wales in England during the Stone Age period, the stones themselves you see above ground is only a fraction of the true size of the stones as the majority is underground. The stones weigh 25 tones individually so when you consider the vast distances they were transported to get them to there final destination is amazing in itself.

I live on the border between Devon and Cornwall, I only have to drive ten minutes in any direction to find views that blow you away. This video does show the UK as it is, but there are a million other places just as amazing, any video that covers everything would be weeks long....

My wife and I live in the north west of England and we’ve been exploring our own country since we got married over 20 years ago and every year we’re finding beautiful and amazing places to see and enjoy both coastal an inland and we still have so much to see. Yes the weather can be wet and miserable at times but that’s a big reason why our country is so lush and green, plus we don’t typically suffer regular extreme heat or cold, don’t have hurricanes or tornadoes, and no volcanoes. On bright sunny days it can be so beautiful. Winter can be amazing and magical too. We love it here. One of my favourite sayings is “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain!”

I wouldn’t take the mix reviews of London from your mates from Birmingham seriously. As someone from outside London who has ended up there, we all have bit of a chip on our shoulder about London due to its economic dominance, but after living there it is a brilliant place (although at the expense of many uk city’s)

The UK has a much higher proportion of green space to urban areas than the US. There is a lot of stunning countryside.

I've always meant to look into that waterfall dropping into the sea. All rivers end up in the sea but most erode the land down to sea level. It either hasn't been there long enough or it is a very hard rock.

Where to visit depends on what type of holiday you're looking for - hiking/touristy/music/drinking/etc If you do make it to Scotland, keep in mind that travel times can be longer than you'd expect - make sure you're going by Google's estimated timing and not by distance (many of our roads haven't been upgraded for speed). Public transport is your friend in the cities, but might need a car for some of the more 'out of the way' places Also, take note of Sunday trading hours - can be very different to the rest of the week

The festival at Stonehenge will be the summer solstice 20/21 June also the longest day and the start off summer, great event and atmosphere 😊😊 ,the on the 21st December that is the winter solstice, shortest day and start of winter, these 2 dates are the only time you can go inside the stones and touch them,other times when you visit you can only walk round them, I recommend the summer event if you visit UK, love your channel too guys 😉😁😁

Game of Thrones was shot only in Northern Ireland, their studios are in Belfast and you can visit them. I live on the Antrim coast and three of their locations are very near me. I lived in London for 30 years and it used to be wonderful but all my favourite clubs and other places have been bought and knocked down by big corporations. They've actually torn the character and heart out of the city.

There are so many beautiful and varied areas in the UK, these are just a few of the mainly remote ones.

12:28 it’s lit up so yeah it’s significant and being preserved, I’d hazard a guess. But if it was a shell of a tower down the road that was on someone’s land you could probably buy it tomorrow and renovate it. There’s an old ruin of a monastery out in woods where I’m from that you can go hang out in completely freely, it’s on public land. That’s Ireland and the UK baby

There are celebrations at Stonehenge for Midsummer and Midwinter. Historically, Midwinter was the more popular - although it seems like there were no celebrations at Stonehenge itself, but at the settlement of Durrington a couple of miles away. At some times (we are talking 3000BC. by the way), there could be thousands of people gathered over midwinter, some coming from as far away as Orkney.

London: it is an amazing city. You can spend weeks there alone. Not as 'pretty' as (say) Paris, but a lot more going on. Add the Lake District, the Cotswolds, the Peak District, Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, The Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall; for cities - York (just gorgeous), Chester, Bath...

Your reaction was better than the source video. People from the North of England and Midlands have reason to not fawn over London, but it's a must-see. Amazing city, which includes the Palace of Westminster, not "West-mini-ster" .. and there's no such place as "Stonehedge", or "Holyrod" Park, and Mt. Snowdon is 1,085m (10,085m would be taller than Everest). Other than that ...

There are many places throughout England that weren't mentioned on the video , I know he was picking his favourites however the Lake District and the Cotswolds are a must see in my opinion.

The festival at Stonehenge is older than the USA. Druids congregated there before the Romans invaded. I went t the Solstice celebration at Winter and Summer between 1988 and 1992, before the police shut it down. It was awesome.

The thing to remember with this video is it's HIS TOP 10. Everyone is different & there's lots of other places not mentioned. As has been said the lake district, peak district, Yorkshire dales, Cotswolds, Norfolk Broads, cities like York, Bath, Oxford etc. All I would say is do your research & don't try to do everything in one trip...

I live in the Isle of Man.... it's an amazing country, but it's not part of the UK though so probably shouldn't be in the video. Easiest way to get a Manx (someone from IOM) person mad is to refer to the UK as 'the mainland' - as the Isle of Man is independent, IOM is the mainland and UK is just 'across' 😂

to answer your question, most of these seemingly remote castles double up as 5 star hotels and are incredibly well maintained.

Stone henge is cool I live 1 1/2 hours away but my office n 10 mins from it go once a month have to drive past, its so cool and gives me shivers driving past it

I actually live 8 miles away from the UK's largest Roman Ampitheater. The main City has a wall going all around it that actually follows the original Roman wall. In the UK we see castles all the time, so we're used to them.

80% of game of thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland (mainly winterfell) including nearly all of the studio sets

It is so difficult to do anywhere justice in a video like this. I like going to London occasionally but it is always nice to leave. It is definitely better for tourists. The festival at Stonehenge is held at the solstice and it is a Druid (pagan) thing. It is supposed to be on a ley line which is a line of natural power.

London is a collection of villages that have grown together. If you stay in London in one of these village areas you will experience a whole different vibe to doing the tourist thing.

Lake district , Peak District, cotswolds villages , Cornwall fishing villages are all worth a look at guys 😊.

You ask about folk guarding places........it depends, if it's just abandoned ruins you can explore, some of them are kept for viewing,some are free entry. In Scotland we have a law called 'right to roam' it allows anyone to travel on any land unless it's a private garden, commercial property or private business etc. If you own land people have a right to walk and camp on your land as long as you follow outdoor etiquette. It means if your driving and you see a hill or waterfall or loch, chances are you can walk right up to it and even swim.

Central London is touristy - London is 3 x bigger than NYC, so if you get out of the ventral district, it is beautiful and not busy. (The rest of the UK bad mouth it but yet, it is often voted in top 3 favourite cities in the world. It is also the 2nd most visited city, for a reason) Game of Thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland, my friend worked on rigging for it)

A travel tip for the UK: rent a car, buy the Bed and Breakfast guide and take it easy when you drive on the wrong side of the road 😁 (when booking a B&B it's good to call because they can often give you contacts to nearby B&Bs you can try) For a decent Scotland trip you should have a couple of weeks. One nice tour you can do in a week is heading to Cornwall from London. Some things to visit on that trip: Winsor (near London), Stonehenge, Salisbury/Salisbury Cathedral, St Michaels Mount, Tintagle Castle, Eden Project etc. Many of the coastal villages are incredible picturesque but the roads are windy so it takes a fair amount of time to get around.

Assuming you were visiting the whole UK some time in the northwest visiting Liverpool and Manchester would be very worthwhile and then you could head up through the lake district to Scotland. Manchester and Liverpool are 2 great cities about an hour apart both very different to each other. The lake district is an incredibly beautiful national park.

Just to let you know. Geologists say that Scotland was part of North America, once upon a time.

I don't have to imagine living in a place like that :) Glad you like the look of our island.

Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa, as it's actually called is One thousand and eighty five metres not ten thousand and eighty five metres as stated. If it was 10085m it would be more than 1200m higher than Mount Everest (Chomolungma).

The U.K. is definitely more than London, we have some beautiful villages, countryside and beaches. Check out North Devon coastline and surrounding areas plus the Peak District which is wild and rugged. We maybe be a small island but it’s beautiful as well.

Snowdon is not over 6 miles high! It is 1085m (0.67mi) tall.

It is interesting that he stated that Snowdon was 10,085 metres high. This, of course makes it significantly higher that that whippersnapper, Mount Everest! And it has got a railway track to the top; eat your heart out Himalayas!

Like any country, there's so many places to visit in the UK that it's really hard to pick one. Most tourists naturally head for London but it really is just the worlds biggest tourist park and while I'd definitely advise to spend at least a day there, don't waste your entire trip in it. It's expensive and is just the same as any other Alpha Global city with slightly more famous buildings. For me personally, my favourite part of the UK is Northern Ireland and it's amazing Antrim Coast.

On the night of the summer solstice people like druids and others with a spiritual interest gather at Stonehenge. I've never been, but I've read in the past that some of the 'worshippers' like to dance around the stones naked.

London is a fantastic city, only New York City and Tokyo come anywhere near it. we love to moan about everything its what we do. i wouldn't want to live there too big and noisy for me 17,000,000 people in such a small area makes me dizzy but its amazing to spend a week.

Im welsh and used to work in london,my god the traffic and amount of people is unreal

Big ben is the name of the bell inside the tower not the actual clock,the tower was originally called the clock tower but got renamed Elisabeth tower

If you want some fun and nightlife rather than scenery then check out Blackpool on England's NW coast. Six miles of sandy beaches, three piers with all the fun of the fair and the iconic Blackpool Tower (the British Eiffel Tower !). Lots of attractions such as a circus, Sealife centre and Blackpool Pleasure Beach a rollercoaster theme park . Lots of arcades and slots, great nightlife and cheap accommodation. It's our version of Atlantic City or Coney Island. We call it the Vegas of the North and most Americans don't know it's there.

7:37 Mount Snowdon is elevated 10,085 meters? 🤔What does that mean? From the deepest lake around to the top of the mountain? I looked it up, it's 1,085 meters. Not so high, but apparently still high enough to be called Snowdon (snow mountain).

You asked someone in Birmingham about London. Next, ask someone in Chicago about New York :) Yes, London is touristy and expensive, but it's astonishing - as Samuel Johnson once said, if you're tired of London, you're tired of life. But people from the Midlands or north of England won't say good things about it ever :) A top ten... you could make a top 100 and still not be done. Oxford, Cornwall, Cambridge, the Lake District, York, the Cotswolds, Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Durham, the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, the South Downs...

There are care takers and property managers but there’s a right to roam in the UK which allows the public to access wilderness to include using paths in private properties.

Ventnor in the Isle of Wight... Microclimate. The whole island is pretty. ❤

Haha, the narrator said Mount Snowdon is 10 thousand & 85 meters😂thats higher than Everest...I think he meant 1 thousand & 85 (1085) meters. Wales would certainly have more tourists if that was the case.

I am surprised he included Isle of Man seeing as it has NEVER been a part of the UK! But, it is where the Gibb Brothers of the Bee Gee's were born!

nearly all these places can be visited, some are free, some at a cost, alot of these places, you can pay for a yearly ticket, from the national trust, which then allows you to vist as much as you want for a year,

Mount Snowdon in Wales has an elevation of 1,085 meters ( 3,560 feet) not 10,085 metres.

London is a strange one, in every sense. As a visitor, it has everything. Glamour, culture, history, the best food in the world and more vibrancy than any other city. The greatest city on Earth. And one of the worst. Check out 'Baker Street', a song by Gerry Rafferty. No-one puts it better.

I never knew Snowdon was 10 thousand and eighty four meters, so dam high.

Most Castles are open to the public,some are free to enter,some you may have to pay to enter ,Monuments/Castles and Stately Homes are usually maintained by one of the conservation organisation like The National Trust ❤ .

Stonehedge was used to stop the neighbours from peering over. And yes its official mt Snowdon is the tallest mountain in the world.

You can stay at Eileen Doonan Castle , my friend had his wedding there

Lots of wonderful places not on his list, I think the east coast was missed, Northumberland is amazing with lots more castles.

Whitby, where Dracula landed...

The costwalds are also a must see

They're all beautiful, but he definitely missed the most beautiful places Wales, take a look at Pembrokeshire Cornwall... all of it The fairy pool's in Scotland

Can't beat London for galleries and museums - come and see some of what we've looted from around the world!

When i go to these places i play a game of listening out for Americans saying likes of "oh im scottish". When they're born and raised in US, always cracks me up

the majority of places in the uk are open to the public .apart from private homes obviously. in scotland there is a right to roam so all land is accessable to the public.if you decide to do the n.w 500 take a small vehicle as a lot of it is single track with designated passing places.

Mount Snowdon is now called Yr Wyddfa :)
