This video is so cool. I am a creator who introduces Korea. Let's be friends!😁
Very eye-comfort scer
Yes, Hathersage is a popular destination for walkers. Thank you for the comment, appreciated.
Love the peak district. Reminds me a bit of Ayrshire. Does that make sence?
I can see what you mean, thank you for the comment, always appreciated.
That was lovely! Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books and now I will have some new mental images the next time I read it.
@Hebertella Thank you for your comments and yes it's good to see what the author saw when she was getting inspiration for her work.
Fantastic stuff. I'm going here next week.
Thanks the midges might be out now so bring some insect repellent just in case. Plenty off footpaths and trails to explore around Dolwyddelan.
@@walkingwithbill Thanks. What's the bus network like on that main road?
There is no bus service, only the railway that runs between Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
@@walkingwithbill Thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to hike with you through this beautiful landscape. 🎒🥾🧢☺️
Thanks for your comment it's appreciated.
You had me worried for a while that we would never get to the castle! But the rest of it was lovely too :-)
Thank you for the comment and for watching my video, I must be getting sneaky leaving the best till last 🙈😂.
I have really enjoyed your videos so far. I hope you make many more. I particularly like Welsh history and it’s interesting to see some of the places I’ve only read about.
Thank you for your comment, really appreciated. I also intend to include some from the rest of the British isles and Ireland with information captions in the coming weeks and months.
Good keep it up... 😊😊
