Ness and Andy’s Travels: UK & Beyond
United Kingdom

Welcome to our channel, come with us, that's me Andy and my wife Nessie on our travels, Sunday drives, holidays in the UK and abroad. We hope you enjoy the videos and if you do please like and subscribe.
Leek the Queen of the Staffordshire Moorlands and a former textile town with links to William Morris
Well no matter the weather we go out making UA-cam videos and once again it’s a miserable day, that sun seems to know when we’re going out!
But it seems everyone one else is going out too, never seen it so busy in Leek, must be because we actually decided to make a video as we drove through.
Leek is a town we often drive through on our way to the Staffordshire Moorlands or to Buxton in Derbyshire, once a very famous textile town but the mills of Leek town are now silent but there is still plenty to see and do in the town

First time try out with the new iPhone 16 phone making this video, seems to work well, too well in fact as it’s picking the heated windscreen, so maybe some slight adjustment needed. We have driven this road before and enjoyed before so we’re back again but in better weather even though the sun is hiding once again, but we were in for a shock as the last time both reservoirs were full, but this...
Out in the wilds of North #Wales where forests of pines grow ready for cultivation

Owain and Rhys our Welsh dragons are enjoying a trip in North Wales through forests with very little traffic, wonderful views appear as we leave the forest and head down into the village of Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer where Ness spots a bird with a long neck and a beak on the river, if you want to know what it is you will need to watch the video to see.
This trip we start off in Bontuchel and head through Cyffylliog before getting lost in the Forest

We thought we would go on adventure and drive down some Welsh country lanes and see where they go, passing through the village of Cyffylliog we pick up a sign that says Llyn Brenig, well I thought I know where that is so let’s head that way, but that was the last sign and it was a case of just keep driving and see where we end up!
What views from up on Ruabon Moor in #Wales in the far distance is Birkenhead and Liverpool

Our first drive up onto Ruabon Moor which sits just above Wrexham on the Clwydian Mountain range, this mountain range spreads all the way to Prestatyn on the north wales coast, but the views from here stretch for miles, I can even pick out landmarks which Ness seems to think I’m seeing things 🤣 I could definitely see the bridge at Runcorn, I know it quite well and it is quite distinctive.

You really do feel like you are in the back of beyond on the narrow roads above Llangollen, thankfully there was not a lot of traffic as we headed along the Eglwyseg valley following the river of the same name up to a place called Worlds End, what’s at Worlds End you ask, well a nature reserve with lots of walks with breathtaking scenery, but for us we were just passing through as we were headi...

This is one of those roads I want to go back and drive again in the summer and maybe stop of for a walk up to the Castle that stands guard over Llangollen, although there is not much left of Castell Dinas Bran an ancient building that was probably built in the 1260’s, under the castle is an old hill fort predating the castle. The narrow road takes us through the Berwyn Mountains, these mountain...

Gosh, the reservoir was very low 😮. Lovely views. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Matt & Bec ❤
@@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf it was quite a shock to see it that low after we had previously been there earlier in the year with it full to the top! Thanks for the comment 😊 Andy
The levels are low, aren't they? Looked 'busy' as well when you filmed. I've been meaning to explore the waterfall. Thanks for sharing.
@greenhenryYT it was quite a shock as we were there earlier in the year and plenty of water then, we wondered if it had been lowered on purpose, as for the waterfall it’s well worth a trip over there to explore, thanks for the comment 😊 Andy

Hi Ness and Andy 👋. Not been on for a while as ĺ had covid.lam better now.missed watching you both.the storms where bad in llandudno. Hope you have a nice Christmas 🎄 when it comes.l am going out for my Christmas dinner 🍽 no cooking for me. Will you be cooking Ness. Lovely countryside in Wales. Elizabeth ❤😅😅❤
Morning Elizabeth, good to see you back and you have recovered from covid, yes those storms caused a lot of damage and i did see what it had done in Llandudno, like you we are going out for Christmas dinner, no cooking for Ness ❤😊 Andy
It used to be Llan-wrth-y-rhyd - Wells church by the ford with a Wells. It’s been shortened to Llanwrtyd Wells, there is a Sulpher Wells there which is supposed to be very good for you. - my home. Llandrindod Wells has a Chalybeate Well. Llanwrtyd still has a School in the village. There used to be 2 butchers, a Baker, A Shoe maker/repairer, lots of pubs, a stables for trecking, and many farms. A lot of people’s surname was Jones so people would be described by the Farm or Jobs e.g. Jones the Butcher or Jones the milk, Jones Spite Inn.
Morning Mari, some very useful information there thanks, like a lot of places including our own village of Hinstock there used to be lots all those little businesses, we used to have a butcher and a baker in the village small as it was, even 3 pubs but luckily we still have one that has survived, have a good day 😊 Andy
@ I used to tell friends my home was just like Trumpton. Everyone knew everyone too.
My great grandfather painted the painting above the main fireplace George Theaker.
@@VaultPete Morning, that is a great talking point whenever your there and a great piece of history to remember him 😊 Andy
Used to go there in the 80s with my dads motorbike club, stayed on higher landings farm, love the place, fond memories of the old man , visit every 12months and raise a pint to him in the pub , thanks for the tour
@@TK-dp8zj Your welcome, we only found the village by chance and thought what a wonderful place, hoping to get back there again one day 😊 Andy
Watching now. Loving the drive 😊. Big thumbs up 👍
@@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf Glad you enjoyed the drive, nice bit of interest with the Tractors 😊 Andy
Hi, I used to play football for Montgomery fc If you went to Welshpool through Forden it eventually takes you past the airfield,you then come to a roundabout with Newtown you would turn left or right for Welshpool At that roundabout you can see a row of cottage’s we were brought up in number 6 Sarny-Bryn-Caled also known as Coed y Dinas cottages
@@pauldavies3703 I’m sure we will have driven past them at some stage, we are often down that area for a drive Paul, thanks for the comment 😊 Andy
Thank you for a lovely video. My grandmother was born in Welshpool in 1896, and married my grandfather in 1920 in Longtown. The moved to Bridge Sollars in 1935, and lived there before moving to Hereford in 1967 when they retired from farming. I remember when things were as quiet as this everywhere. Sadly the whole world has got into a rush. Best wishes from George
@@georgejohnson1498 Hi George, glad you enjoyed the video and yes the world has changed a lot but at least in this part of the world it’s all still at a slower pace 😊Andy
@@NessandAndy I live a mile from Bromyard, and I love it. Bishops Castle is probably a larger place, but Bromyard is now officially classed as a village, brcause the livestock market is now the Coop car park. When I was a kid, it was definitely a Market Town. I have come back to my local town, ready to retire with my little Parredale Terrier! Here she is on the lower part of Bromyard Downs in the snow! ua-cam.com/video/X2lrDBhC-vU/v-deo.html Best wishes from George
@ We live the other end of Shropshire near Market Drayton, my parents both moved this way from Churchstoke but I love going back down to that end of the county as life is much slower 😊 Andy
@@NessandAndy I subscribed, so that I can watch some more lovely videos from you! ATB from G
@ Hi George, thanks for subscribing, there are lots of videos for you to enjoy, we’re down in South Shropshire again today making more videos, it will be a few weeks before they go on UA-cam as we have lots of videos to add that we have previously made. Enjoy 😊 Andy
what season is it in this video? 😊 looks so warm
@@skyvija Hi it’s mid September, a very nice time to go to Cyprus as it’s a little cooler than the heat of July and August and after the kids have gone back to school 😉 Andy
Saying as drive through that's pretty much the town I beg to differ there
@@susan5199 I’m sure we will be back again at some stage and do a full tour of the town as much as we can in the motor. Andy
Such a beautiful location. Thanks for the tour. Interesting, the difference in temperature. 😊❤👍
@@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf it’s always nice to escape to the mountains to cool off and get away from the heat and humidity for a day 😊❤️ Andy
There are some lovely Lace makers in the Troodos mountains. A great place to escape the heat in the middle of summer. So cool, we even needed a duvet on the bed, even though it was over hundred degrees on the coast. 🙂
One of our favourite places to visit is Omodos, they have some wonderful craft shops there including Lace Makers, we missed to get to the village in 2024 but i'm sure we will be back there next year as we have 3 more holidays booked for 2025 in Cyprus 😊 Andy
I love Cyprus. Had several holidays there before it got too commercial. Great time of year to visit. Not too hot. 🥵👍
@@Steve-Cross Hi Steve, we love Cyprus and have been going since 2009, have got lots of friends over there and already have 3 holidays booked over there for 2025, but not during the hot season made the mistake of going there once when it was hot for a week, we nearly melted 🤣🥵 Andy
Love visiting Garden Centres at Christmas 😍🎄 Lovely short 😊
@@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf It’s easy to spend a fortune on all that Xmas stuff 😉 Andy 🤔
Looks so beautiful 😍🏖🌊. Amazing that you can drive on. Thanks for sharing 😊👍.
Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of place to drive in Paphos if you have the right motor. It’s why we love to explore there 😜Ness
Aaw, so sweet!
Safe trip 😊 and I hope you catch plenty ❤
Loved the walk around the abandoned village. 😊❤ Big thumbs up 👍
Lots to explore around there, we just did the main street but those buildings are getting a bit dangerous to go inside, thanks for the comment 😊 Andy
Always wanted to visit Cyprus 😊. Looks like an amazing adventure ❤
Cyprus is Beautiful, we have been going there since 2009 and now go twice a year, it's our go to place 😊 Andy
I really enjoyed this!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed our little walkabout 😊 Andy
Great video , guys. Love the idea of renting a goat 😂. Lots to see and do here for kids, our little ones would love that 😊. Enjoyed watching. Big thumbs up, guys 👍.
@@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf Thanks ☺️ I’ve even looked up a company to possibly rent goats 🤣 don’t think our fences would keep them in though! Glad you enjoyed our walk about 😊 Andy
Matt would love this 😊. Big thumbs up and new subscriber here 👍❤️

I live a ten minutes drive from the peacock the food is lovely especially the Sunday roast , there's so many nice places in the Derbyshire dales and your not to far from the peak district. You should visit Baslow edge and Monsal head next time you're local 👍🏻
As we live in Shropshire we very often visit Derbyshire, thanks for the tip will look into those places for a visit in the future, thanks for the comment 😊 Andy
Hi Ness and Andy, I like watching your channel. However, I hardly hear what you are saying it's too low

Is that the road ro glenarm
@@tom14784 No, it’s country lane in Staffordshire 😊 Andy
I came across this YT completely by accident looking for information about Sheriffhales. And as a student I lived with my friend at his hause and often used the road to Shifnal, many good memories, thinking back this years. How nice to see after almost 30 years that not much has changed there. Well, maybe apart from the necessary traffic lights at the crossroads. :) And in the spring on the sides of the road beautiful yellow daffodils always bloomed. :)
I can't believe they have by-passed the arch now
@@nickb5391 yes it’s a shame that, obviously done to try to preserve it and stop people driving into it! Andy

The walk goes from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hood’s Bay. A friend of mine did it a few years ago. ❤️❤️
That would be one of Alfred Wainwrights walks, would have done it myself a few years ago if i had the chance but not now, the bones would be shouting at me 🤣 Andy xx ❤❤
I would be shouting at you! Ness ❤️😂
One of the first times Peter took me out we had a ride up to the Dales centre in Stanhope and to a reservoir a little further up. ❤❤
That would probably be Waskerley Reservoir, i did check it out on google maps when we were planning the route, but need to there for a week or two to get around all the places i would love to visit up there xx Andy ❤❤
I’m up for a couple of weeks there! 😂 Ness xx❤️
Beautiful my neck of the woods. So unspoilt around there. X
