This is the first of a new series with a brand new format. A combination of me walking and talking with the handheld camera in locations across England and Scotland. These films are much more casual, not heavily researched as with the other channel content. Also no intricate post production, just me and the camera walking, talking, looking and discovering what there is to see. The big advantage...

This time of the year is busy getting everyone back to work and school from holiday and summer break. Your programs are wonderful. Please keep posting these videos. I’m subscribed and enjoy each of them. Thank you so much. Lynn in Naples Florida 😎
Thanks lynn x
Looking forward to those vlogs Jon , just back from holiday myself
Mate - the Scots did NOT wear kilts until hundreds of years later... And kilts weren't originally a Highland garment but likely an Anglo-Scottish border garment adopted by the Highlanders. Great video though, really enjoyed it.
Thanks for your comment. Please would you point out where the mistake is? At what point in the video? Im not sure as to what you are referring to. Thanks for your help. kind regards Jon
Heather Ross-White here Chipchase , you failed to mention the Taylor family why ?
Excellent series of history and information well presented and appreciated. Thanks 😎
Romans and Vikings ?
Bellows Crag on Lindesfarne isn't igneous rock,it is in fact petrified wood. These stories are put about to hide the bible and the fact that these mounds,hills and mountains were once trees that were felled by the "Watchers". The true account of what happened is contained within The Book Of Enoch,one of the apochryphal books of the bible. Castles were built on these tree stumps to disguise this and evidence can be seen at Bamburgh Castle,Edinburgh Castle etc. Fingals Cave and the Giants Causway are two glaring examples of tree fibres petrified and turned to rock. Of course there is the ludicrous story of volcanic lava columns to hide the truth. One of the most obvious tree stumps in the world is the Devils Tower in Wyoming of course.
And then some idiots with a chainsaw came and cut that tree down for no reason whatsoever! 😡
Yes and awaiting trial at the crown court. We all hope they serve time. You might want to watch the new mini series "Above Hadrians Wall" no commentary apart from an intro and conclusion, but a flight over the entire northern frontier of the Roman Empire in 122. All episodes are posted to date but the whole full length film in 4K will go live at 6pm (GMT) on 23rd August. Best wishes Jon
@@jonimrye5722 I hope so too but sadly I don’t believe that the sentence will equate to the damage they did. A lot of people didn’t even know it was there, but to others it was far more than just a tree. Thanks I’ll check it out 👍
Brilliant footage Jon!.. love that you continued onto Maryport!.. like a Hadrian's Wall bonus feature!.. the time and effort you put into your productions is truly appreciated !
Thank you Paul. Watch out for the bumper episode 23rd August. Its the whole flight East to West with new footage not in the episodes. Its 2hr 30min so make sure you have your beer and grub for a full afternoon/evenings viewing. Best wishes Jon
All your videos are quality and with great amount of historical and geographical facts and knowledge BUT its nearly imposible to work out whats the content going to be about. Titles arent giving any clue in most cases so you I think you are loosing viewers and not artracting more traffic to your account. I am from South Shields and watched your video about Souter Lighthouse but only by accident as there was no indication that its about my local area. In my eyes title should closer to " History of Souter Lighthouse in South Shields / Sunderland North East" Then whoever types any of these will be closer to seeing your videos ;) Ignore me if I am wrong ! 😊 All the best! 😊
I appreciate your views, but I disagree. They are put into playlists firstly so that once you are watching a series they all follow a sequence. Secondly I dont produce individual films about any subject they are all part of one series or another. Each episodes have numerous tags added so that when people are searching for something in content in my videos related to that search will show up, or at least thats what UA-cam claim? The Title of the film also tells you where the film is focused on. I cant make it any simpler than that. Who said Im losing viewers anyway??? Thanks again for your concern best wishes Jon
Excellent film. Thanks for all you do to produce these wonderful adventures. 😎
Thanks Lynn the full length film will be out 23rd August - its 2hr 30mins so make sure you have your wine and snacks to hand ! 😁
Happy memories of holidays of years gone by. We loved Northumberland & these documentaries are wonderful. Interesting & full of facts & detail. The filming & scenery is lovely - so good to see it again. Very many thanks.
Thanks Chris for your comments, you are a bit behind mate, there are four more episodes in this series to go and all of this years series on the Durham coast to go. Im on track to start the new series on the River Tweed and the borders next month. Dont want you falling too far behind 😉
Hi there hope you are all well. Xx
Yes we are thanks, off to sunny spain week after next. Dont bother with facebook much now, best text or phone to keep in touch best wishes to you Andrew and Charlie.
My Daughter is going to Sandy Bay this week with the kids.
Sorry about misspelling your name. G😊
All good news John, fond memories of our trip around Hawick Hall gardens with you last year.. Good luck with the Tweed filming,really looking forward to that series.Best wishes L & G
Thanks as always best wishes Jon
loving the vids - keep them going
Thank you. I will keep going as long as I am able. Bulletin 12 released on friday gives you a run down on what is coming in the months ahead. best wishes Jon
Fascinating history of seaham, great research again.remember going there when I was younger and liked the place
Many thanks Harry glad you enjoyed it, best wishes Jon
As a Born + Bred (Jedburgh)Borderer, whose lived over 60 years in Sussex…I’ve loved every minute of your tour…thank you so much! 🙋♀️😁🏴
Hi Wendy thank you for watching and for your comment. Please subscribe if you havent already done so as you are in for a real treat. Starting next month I am beginning a new project looking at the Rivers of the North East of England and the first river is the Tweed. We will visit all the border region from Tweedsmuir through Peebles Innerleithen Galashiels Melrose Roxburgh Kelso and Coldstream. The film you just watched was one of a trilogy I made over three years ago when I started the channel. If you have seen any of my recent films you will know I now have a drone, so the plan is to follow the river from Tweedsmuir stopping at all the places of interest along its course to its Estuary at Berwick. By subscribing you will receive notifications from UA-cam when each new film is posted. My very best wishes Jon
Always loved the area where i spent most of my summer holidays
Thanks Harry best wishes
Thank you so much Jon. I've been saving this one because I knew it would bring up so many memories and emotions. I lost my front teeth playing tiggy at the battery. Ridley Park had the biggest, most dangerous, slide I've ever seen in a council park. As a child it was a daunting prospect. I remember the bombsites well even 20 years after the war. I watched the old pit heap get turned into the new golf course. I can still hear the sound of the foghorn lulling me to sleep at night.
Thanks Jon. I spent many hours on this beach in my childhood. It brings back lots of happy memories to see it again from the other side of the world in Australia.
Hi Judy, many thanks for your comment. Have you watched episode 3 of the current series on the Durham Tyne and Wear coast? Tynemouth and cKing Edwards bay is featured in that. It also is featured briefly in the very first film I made for this channel called "The Northumberland & North Tyneside Coast". Thanks for watching and I hope you continue to enjoy the channel Content. Best wishes Jon
@jonimrye5722 I have watched, greatly enjoyed all of your videos, thanks Jon. I hope to get back to beautiful Nortumberland again before too long. Until then, I get my fix watching your videos 🥰
Hi Judy my next project is the river tweed which of course borders Northumberland, and then the rest of the rivers Aln Coquet Wansbeck Blyth etc lots to look forward to best wishes Jon x
Thank-you for going to beautiful Tynemouth ❤ Looking forward to episode 5, the Durham cliffs and Discovery Days ❤🇬🇧
Thanks Alison, best wishes Jon
Sorry John, I called you Jim above. I’m looking forward to your future rivers episodes. Cheers! Lynn in Naples FL. 😎
Hello Lyn, Naples is my favourite place along with the Amalfi coast. I would love to live there, I envy you. best wishes Jon
Hello Jim, I really enjoy your reports and your films. Thank you for all your hard work. Lynn in Naples FL 😎
very interesting thank you
Hi John thanks for your comment I hope you can enjoy the rest of the series made two years ago now. I was thinking of revisiting the area next year and going over the same route with my drones to provide an aeriel addition to the series. Would that be something you would watch? Best wishes Jon
I was going to make a video of a couple of castles near me. Having watched your excellent videos I don't think i'll bother. I will just sit back and enjoy all your very informative films. Keep up the great work!
Many thanks Jon, I am truly flattered. Keep watching and enjoying the channel. There will be six castles in the new series coming on the River Tweed look out for that. Best wishes Jon
The ROMANS in 1066 I think you mean the Normans
Hi Mary of course you are right but can you tell me where in the programme I say this?
Sorry I missed heard. I listened twice and thought you said Romans please blame it on my age. Love your videos x
Hi Mary thats ok and thanks for getting back to me. I have made mistakes in the past, so its not uncommon for me to say the wrong thing. However that video has been out now for over a year and I thought it strange that no one had said anything before now. Im often critiscised for speaking too slowly, but thats why I do, because if I speak quickly I often say the wrong thing. Pleased we sorted it anyway, lots of new stuff on the way for you to enjoy. Best wishes Jon.
This film is brilliant! Thank you for putting this together! Incredibly informative.. I recently walked the Hadrian's Wall Trail which misses out so much of the wall coming through Newcastle's Benwell area.. Thank you for filling in a few gaps!! Now subscribed.. All the best Jon !
Glad you enjoyed it Paul you need to watch the new series I have added to this playlist. This year I have flown my drones over the entire Roman Frontier from South Shields to Maryport. I am releasing the HD versions each month, 4 episodes are already up and the last episode will be posted on 26th July. Then at the End of August the whole 110 mile journey - 2 and a half hour film will be released in 4K. There is also lots of other content to enjoy. Welcome aboard the channel, best wishes Jon
Awesome thanks Jon
Thanks Davy, exciting news Im beginning the research for the River Tweed. Watch the bulletins for updates. Jon
Fascinating series of videos of our heritage ,great to watch
Hi Harry how are you? Thanks for the comment as always last episode coming 26th July. Then I will be releasing the whole journey East to West in August. Keep watching and enjoying the channel. Best wishes Jon
Fantastic
Thank you
Hi Jon, was nice to meet you up in Maryport at the Senhouse Museum. Nice channel, some really nice footage, and you take the time learning about it all, a pleasure to meet you. Take care and hope you had a safe journey home.
Hi Gareth, thanks for your comments. Nice to meet you both as well. It took me two and half hours to get home, I was absolutely shattered. Hope you enjoy the rest of the channel. Best wishes Jon
@@jonimrye5722 Good to know you got back alright, I will watch all the other episodes. Thank you!
These videos should be shown in all the schools in England! What a great history lesson and much better than a history book. Also great photography again, Jon.
Thank you Alison for those kind comments, please feel free to put my name forward to anyone interested. Best wishes Jon
Never ceases to amaze me re the quality of the build as it was built so long ago. It must have been a tremendous impressive sight when first completed. Amazing drone footage Jon. L & G
Thanks Gordon, yes its pretty spectacular. They taught the brits a great deal. best wishes Jon
Great drone shots. Amazing to see the old salt pans still visible next to the burn after all this time. Charlie's Garden is actually the rock pillar sticking out of Collywell Bay. As a boy it was as high as the cliffs and had thick turf atop.
Thanks again mate 🙂
Smashing video Jon. I didn't know the Cresswell family connection with capturing the first enigma machine. Can't believe a company was allowed to mine sand at Druridge Bay.
Thanks again for your comment. Yes the sand removal devastated the area at the time, thank goodness it was stopped. best wishes Jon
What kind of moron could destroy that tree?
Had family friends who lived in the stone houses near the small harbour. Many happy childhood memories. I wonder if the Wansbeck barrage, which I saw being built, has affected the amount of sand in Sandy Bay?
Hi, thanks for your comment. As for the sand Im not sure to what it was like when you were there? Watch the drone footage and let me know, best wishes Jon
50 year old memories are that it does look much as it did but I don't remember so much rock being exposed. I seem to recall being taught that sand moves south on the East coast, perhaps the sand mining at Druridge Bay affected nearby beaches. Viewing your excellent drone footage I'm now wondering if Sandy Bay caravan park is named for the small bay in the Wansbeck estuary rather than the beach.
@@nilpoints That episode was filmed in January of 2023 and heavy winter seas often remove sand and then it returns during the summer. All part of natures cycle. The rocks at the north end of the bay are due to the ever crumbling cliffs falling onto the beach. Storm Arwin caused much of the cliffs to collapse too. As far as I know there has always been a holiday park at Sandy Bay and the name may have been deliberately chosen to attract visitors rather than being a description of the beach.
@@jonimrye5722 Thanks for your response. I didn't get a notification for some reason. Your explanations makes perfect sense. Notwithstanding the possible commercial reason for the name Sandy Bay it is quite apt. It has very poignant significance for me because it was the last place my Grandpop took us to take family photos before my mother passed away, very young, from cancer.
@@nilpoints Yeh youtube sometimes misses notifications. YT seems to adjust depending on how often you visit the channel. So if you dont visit in a while it presumes your tastes have changed and stops sending you notifications. You are like me that certain places share very special memories. Thank you for sharing your story. Best wishes Jon
Kind regards Jon thanks for sharing kindly Niall O'Connell Dundalk Ireland.❤️🙏🇨🇮
Many thanks Niall, hope you can enjoy the rest of the channel. About 10yrs ago I planned a tour of the Irish coast but sadly the trip never materialised. My health not so good nowadays so I think it will have to wait till my next life. Best wishes and thanks for watching Jon
Beautiful video of an awesome lighthouse. Thank you so much for making this film and for sharing it. I really enjoy your work. Lynn in Naples FL. 💕

How about, “Exploration and Discovery” 😎 Lynn in Naples FL
Hi Lynn and a very good morning to you there in the sunshine. Spare a thought for us Brits here in the perishing cold 10C here today !!! Thank you for your suggestion, it will go into the "bag" with the others, best wishes and keep watching Jon
Would you be able to show us a video on history of Millom Castle?
Hi Janice, Millom is a bit far from my base in Newcastle. I might be able to do it one day as one of my new short "Discovery days out". Ive had many requests to film Cumbria over the years, but on an old age pension it is too far to afford the travelling. I appealed earlier in the year for people to help by donating to the channel to help fund these projects further afield. Only six people responded to that request and while I was very grateful for there contributions not enough people responded to make any difference. That means I am restricted to areas in the North East. However as I said it might be possible to do it sometime in the future. Thanks for watching, best wishes Jon
Not a believer in paranormal.😊
You gave me some great memories of visiting Howick Hall with my cousin and her husband when we were home in 2018. We toured the gardens, had tea and cake in the tearoom (twice 😊) and walked the path along the coastline. ❤🇬🇧
Glad you liked it, let me know if you ever return and I will treat you to a free guided tour, best wishes Jon
Bonjour JON. Merci pour la jolie promenade dans ce beau jardin et merci pour votre partage de mémoire .
Merci Nathalie, si jamais tu visites le Royaume-Uni, fais-le moi savoir et je t'offrirai une visite guidée gratuite, meilleurs voeux Jon
Great memories of our tour around the beautiful grounds last year. The wild flowers are beautiful. Thanks Jon L & G
Thank you, best wishes as always Jon
Love the videos except for the music. Is distracting from the narration. +
Hi Judy, yes I agree which is why my the narration is clean on all my current programmes. Please watch my more recent films 2022 onward you will find those have no annoying music. Also a number of the border castles will be revisited in my forthcoming project later this year when I begin the "Rivers Project". It will be a journey down the river Tweed as the first river in the series which incorporates 6 castles. You will notice all my recent programmes are supported with drone footage so this will be a spectacular presentation. Be sure to subscribe so as not to miss anything and please watch my other channel content, best wishes Jon
