The things that divide the beach up are called groynes. They reduce the longshore drift of sand along the beach. Water currents along the beach could cause the sand to move along the beach, and the groynes stop the sand drifting in that way.
The mower IS cutting the lawns. The mower has a roller behind the blades so when you turn round it flattens the grass the opposite direction. Hence the stripes. They do not add the stripes as an extra.
In Britain, you can cross the road wherever you like. Yes, there are pedestrian crossings on busy roads, but we are taught from early childhood how to cross the road safely.
Here in The Kingdom of Fife in Scotland, even our wee villages still have the red phone boxes. Though no longer in use since we have one in our pocket, they are now used as community libraries where people take and leave books inside so that everyone enjoys. Still connecting with words, even though not the original utilisation.
That's awesome. we have people who put out things in their front yard, usually looking like a big bird house with a glass door that people can trade books 📚 or just take.
@pi1872 I'm glad to hear that. These are the things that matter at a small community level but are rarely highlighted by media who have 'more important' narratives to follow.

It should be re-named 10 beautiful easy day trips from London. There are many other equally lovely towns and villages ignored in the Lake District, Derbyshire, Yorkshire, rural Lancashire. York, Chester and Bath , Buxton, Haworth to name a few notable misses. Even on the Cotswolds Burton-on - the water is nicer by far than Cirencester to visit. I owned a cottage near 300 years old in the Scottish Borders, it was stone. Stone warms up and retains heat in Winter when you have your heating on and as the walls were 18 to 20 inches thick there was no foam internal wall insulation to cause damp. In the Summer you were kept cool. My house had Welsh Slate on the roof. I think that building did too.
Definitely should be 10 day trips from London... I'm up in North Nottinghamshire on the edge of Sherwood Forest, so not far from the Peaks/North Yorks Moors. So many beautiful places here mostly go un-noticed by tourists - just the way we like it ;) The cottage I live in was built in 1750 and has large beams in it which had previously been used in old galleons (ships) so they could be at least 50-100 years older than the cottage. Being made of stone it can be hard to heat up from cold (we have two wood burning stoves/fireplace downstairs, plus central heating) but once warm they stay nice and toasty. Also stay cool in the heat of summer :)
GlastonburyTor is a completely natural feature, believe it or not! :) I'm surprised he didn't mention the thing for which Glastonbury is most famous for, it's music/culture festival. The largest outdoor music festival in the World. Going since 1970, everybody who's anybody in the music industry has played there. The festival has become a cultural icon and receives extensive tv coverage in the UK but also around the World. :)
The round towers in castles would be the most defensive places. Original design would locate a mound where this tower, the keep, would be built. An extension to one side or more would include stables housing for workers, smithy, stores and places to exercise, practise weapons. Over time the buildings would go from wood to stone. Tom.
The things on the beach you where intrested in are called breakers, they stop the tide from shifting the beaches around to much, they are all around Briton.
Some of these were villages, rather than towns. In fact a couple were just buildings. All sites were also exclusively Southern England. Believe me, there are equally beautiful places throughout the country and some surprising omissions from Southern England too. :)
Most of the roofs are made of slate, or thatched (Which is tightly bound straw, water reed, sedge etc) this is with stone houses anyway. I can't think of a single house i've ever seen in the UK having wooden roofing?? (it would just rot)
@benthompson9517 They looked a lot like cedar singles. Cedar is wood, and it dont rot seen lots here. I was assuming but also said i wasent sure. Thanks for the comment
@@benthompson9517It’s perfectly natural to make assumptions based on your own experience. He said “It looks like”. He wasn’t presenting it as fact. There’s no need to be rude.
That castle at the beginning looks more like a folly to me, follies were built by rich land owners to serve no useful purpose but to add interest to their landscapes. One near me at Leith Hill in Surrey was built to add about twenty feet to the hill and thus make it qualify as a mountain. It now a beauty spot.
The round tower at the centre of the castle was the 'keep'. Almost all medieval castles had a keep. It was usually built on a small man-made hill called a 'motte'. It's usually the strongest part of the castle and is the fallback position, if the outer defences are breached. In peaceful times it served as the seat and home of the local feudal lord. The administrative centre for the area. They aren't always round but round towers are more resistant to projectiles, so most were, or at least had round towers at the corners. :)
What looks like fences, are groynes they are catchment areas, collecting pebbles and silt washed into these areas to stop the tidal wash eroding the shore line, you can find groynes all over Britain as an island we need them
Those weren't wood shingles they were stone, probably slate, roof tiles. As for heating, it depends on the house but most old stone houses have thicker walls than modern houses, making them cooler in Summer and Warmer in Winter. So, as long as you have some modern insulation in the roof space and double glazed windows, they should be pretty efficient, heat wise. :)
The things on the beach are to stop the beach material being dragged away by the tides. They are called groins. The metal things on legs in the water are defensive forts in the mouth of the Thames built in the 2nd world war. The courtyards in Cambridge are the colleges based on monastic style cloisters. Many phone booths in the UK are now converted to new uses, such as holding defibrillators, turned into mini libraries & other odd uses, as they are not needed much since mobile phones became popular. Stone buildings can be warm if the walls are thick enough & they have good heating. The roofs are more often ceramic tiles, not wood shingles. The ones in the picture are stone tiles. Salisbury is pronounced as Solsbury, not as said in the video. This video is very much southern based. There are many beautiful places on the north & elsewhere around the country. These choices are not even the best in their own regions. Much of Arundel is not ancient, but rebuilt in Victorian times. The round piece is the Mote & Keep of the original Castle, most of the other buildings are much later. Glastonbury Tor hill is NOT man made, but a natural hill caused by Ice Age melt water dumping. Such a hill is known as a Drumlin, & there are many around the UK. The tower on top is that of a church that used to stand there. This video was only a glimpse even of the places it did cover.
That’s very interesting you say that about Glastonbury Tor and the hill being manmade, as that’s a conspiracy theory of sorts, but I’d say it’s highly possible. Back in the day, the whole area was underwater, so the hill stood out like an island - hence the mythical Isle of Avalon in the Arthurian legends. In fact, the area is today known as the Somerset Levels due to how flat it is, and it floods regularly. The tor (ie tower) itself is all that remains of a church that once stood there. Legend also has it that Joseph of Arimathea visited the tor.
I`ve never been to Canada, but thought it rather odd that a Canadian should find anything `awsome` about the English / British countryside. I`d imagine Canada to be ridiculously beautiful - especiall toward the west and Rocky Mountains. This chap making the video makes me laugh like hell. He sounds as if he`s acquainted well enough with his own language, well spoken, sophisticated - erudite, even, whilst he gets away so well with dropping the odd fucking word here and there. The trick is not to over do it. For instance, if our latest Monarch were to drop the odd `f` word here and there I think the country would burst out in laughter with him. I don`t think this bloke in this video over-did-it.
The guy on the mower isn't putting lines in for effect, he's mowing the lawn, the lines are created as he mows, so yes it would be a lot of work for nothing if what you said was what he was doing, but it's not.
That’s not pinewood on the roofs of the houses in Bradford on Avon, those are slate tiles. Also, you see a couple of brief glimpses of one of the oldest churches in England - an actual Saxon church, where most of our churches and cathedrals are Norman. Winchester did actually start out Saxon, but the Normans extended it, and Westminster Abbey I think stayed intact until it was largely destroyed by fire and rebuilt, so now the only remnants of the original Saxon structure are in the basement.
Glastonbury Tor - that oddly round hill - is not man-made. It consists of stone from the late Jurassic period and a lot of it is underground. The reason it sticks out of the flat, surrounding land like that is because it's in an area of low-lying wetland, i.e. marshes, that stretches across the paths of several rivers and then to the sea.
You are amazed at our lush green grasslands but wouldn't like the rain?? Im afraid the two go hand in hand. You can't have constant balmy weather AND green lushness, no sir. Substantial rain = Substantial green. Substantial sun = Substantial desert. We accept the rain and reap the rewards when it doesn't.
The narrator’s pronunciation of Salisbury is painful considering he’s supposed to be English 😂😂 The first syllable rhymes with “all”, so it’s pronounced “Sallsbree”.
Not exactly still need to put a roller on the lawn mower. It's extra I cut lawns all year last year as a job. Only lines are from tires unless you buy a roller and attach it.but then if you get a roller attached then your right.thay are called stripers not rollers
You might find these 2 YT vids interesting - 'Boat Mission to Red Sands Sea Forts & SS Montgomery' - and - 'They Built a Rainforest Ecosystem inside a Geodesic Dome'
Welsh slate, which is grey, has been widely used for roofing here in the last two hundred years. But the Cotswolds, in addition to having the beautiful Cotswold Stone, has also a similar deposit that can be slit into slates. So those roofs you thought were wood shingles are in fact of honey-coloured stone shingles. There is no law in the UK telling you where to cross the road. So there is no offence of jay-walking. In beautiful places the planners try to make street furniture unobtrusive; I suspect there were hidden street lights in Winchcombe.
The one problem I have with this guy who’s done the video you are watching is the towns / city’s are all southern , no northern cities. York should have at least made the list.
Why is the pronunciation always so poor in these sorts of videos? Even when the narrator is obviously from the country in the video. You'd think someone from England, Southern England too by the souns of it, would know how to pronounce Salisbury, for instance. Btw, it's more like Sols-bree. Though you sometimes hear a hint of the 'i' and sometimes the end is more like 'berry'. It definitely isn't pronounced 'Sall' anything. :)
You don't need to tell us Brits about how striped lawns are made. We've been doing it for ever. And it's not a lot of work for nothing. It happens automatically anyway when we go up and down following the preceding edge. Our lawns in our gardens at home are the same. I think we invented the lawnmower anyway. If you can buy yourself an old red phone booth as they are worth a fortune in their various different styles. People have them working in their front or rear gardens. A lot of the ones on the streets house defibrilators or free libraries. Salisbury is pronounced as 'Salls Berry' or 'SoulsBerry' and not 'Sailsbury' as Hal said. Our medieval city of Salisbury is close to me. It hit the headlines worldwide a few years back when Russian wanker Putin poisoned the city as he tried to kill an ex Soviet spy and his daughter, who moved here for safety. Putin's 2 henchmen used the Novichok nerve agent to try and kill Mr Skripal and his daughter Julia. Someone else died instead, and I ended up in Salisbury Hospital the same time as the Skripals. The City was sealed off by troops and police, and men in Hazmat suits from the chemical weapons establishment at nearby Porton Down scoured the city for the chemical. We have Putin's 2 henchmen on CCTV from their journey from Moscow all the way to Salisbury and back. They and Putin of course deny everything as they always do! The UK, US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Europe ,and other nations worldwide kicked out hundreds of Russian 'diplomats' from their countries in protest. We all know they are spies anyway! Salisbury Cathedral has only now just had all it's scaffolding taken down after restoration that has gone on for over 30 years! Do you know just how many tens of thousands of new stone blocks were carved out by their team of stonemasons? There is a live web cam you can hook up to watching the nesting birds in the spire of Salisbury Cathedral. Check out the inside of the cathedral too, and it's cloisters. It is stunning!! It astounds me that Hal pronounces so many English place names wrong! .
@@pi1872 My pleasure! When you said at the end that if you came here you'd never want to leave, there are many videos on You Tube of Americans, Canadians, Aussies and others who come here and stay! The tower you saw at the start of the video is called a 'Folly' ... If you want to see something related to King Alfred the Great who built my town back around 880 AD, then check out a video called 'Shaftesbury Abbey The Movie' ... It is 300 yards from my front door!
@@pi1872 Next to the ancient Abbey is 'Gold Hill' the most photographed street in Britain. It was made famous by Alien, and Gladiator movie director Ridley Scott who made a famous Hovis bread commercial here in 1973. It's what started off his carreer! That video is on You Tube also!
For all,its many faults I still love London. No other city on earth can surpass it in a combination of attractions, vibrancy, history, food scene, etc.
Take these videos with a pinch of salt. I fled Britain in 2008 and it's far worse now. The cities and towns now resemble Mogadishu or Kabul, with only the quaintest villages now having an English atmosphere. I dread having to return to visit family and can't wait to leave... it's a country that's been ruined by do-gooders over the span of 40 to 50 years. If you decide to visit, please be careful.
Nah, you're so wrong. These videos are recent, hence drones. England is without doubt a great place to visit as for the cities resemble Mogadishu are you serious I have travelled the world and usually can't wait to get back to blighty! Every country on the planet has no-go areas 😂 stay put where you are dude, and stop being so negative or maybe stop trolling?
Absolute bollocks. Britain is very safe: much safer than the US, for instance. (If you don't believe me, compare the murder rate and the death rate in road accidents between the UK and the US).
My word, with that take on things…(our towns look like Kabul!!!! 😳)….maybe it’s a good idea for you to stay away! I live in the West Country and it’s bloody gorgeous everywhere I go. 😛

It hit the headlines worldwide a few years back when Russian wanker Putin poisoned the city as he tried to kill an ex Soviet spy and his daughter, who moved here for safety. Putin's 2 henchmen used the Novichok nerve agent to try and kill Mr Skripal and his daughter Julia. Someone else died instead, and I ended up in Salisbury Hospital the same time as the Skripals. The City was sealed off by troops and police, and men in Hazmat suits from the chemical weapons establishment at nearby Porton Down scoured the city for the chemical. We have Putin's 2 henchmen on CCTV from their journey from Moscow all the way to Salisbury and back. They and Putin of course deny everything as they always do! The UK, US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Europe ,and other nations worldwide kicked out hundreds of Russian 'diplomats' from their countries in protest. We all know they are spies anyway! Salisbury Cathedral has only now just had all it's scaffolding taken down after restoration that has gone on for over 30 years! Do you know just how many tens of thousands of new stone blocks were carved out by their team of stonemasons? There is a live web cam you can hook up to watching the nesting birds in the spire of Salisbury Cathedral. Check out the inside of the cathedral too, and it's cloisters. It is stunning!! It astounds me that Hal pronounces so many English place names wrong! .
Wow thank you 😊👍
@@pi1872 My pleasure! When you said at the end that if you came here you'd never want to leave, there are many videos on You Tube of Americans, Canadians, Aussies and others who come here and stay! The tower you saw at the start of the video is called a 'Folly' ... If you want to see something related to King Alfred the Great who built my town back around 880 AD, then check out a video called 'Shaftesbury Abbey The Movie' ... It is 300 yards from my front door!
@bobbybigboyyes oh wow I will check it out thank you
@@pi1872 Next to the ancient Abbey is 'Gold Hill' the most photographed street in Britain. It was made famous by Alien, and Gladiator movie director Ridley Scott who made a famous Hovis bread commercial here in 1973. It's what started off his carreer! That video is on You Tube also!
At the beginning the narrator said we all love london. Wrong, we don't, it is like a foreign country now !
For all,its many faults I still love London. No other city on earth can surpass it in a combination of attractions, vibrancy, history, food scene, etc.
Hopefully the buildings they build today will not last 800 years, most new buildings should be demolished as they are ugly!
100% agree
Take these videos with a pinch of salt. I fled Britain in 2008 and it's far worse now. The cities and towns now resemble Mogadishu or Kabul, with only the quaintest villages now having an English atmosphere. I dread having to return to visit family and can't wait to leave... it's a country that's been ruined by do-gooders over the span of 40 to 50 years. If you decide to visit, please be careful.
Nah, you're so wrong. These videos are recent, hence drones. England is without doubt a great place to visit as for the cities resemble Mogadishu are you serious I have travelled the world and usually can't wait to get back to blighty! Every country on the planet has no-go areas 😂 stay put where you are dude, and stop being so negative or maybe stop trolling?
Oh wow thank you
Thank you
Absolute bollocks. Britain is very safe: much safer than the US, for instance. (If you don't believe me, compare the murder rate and the death rate in road accidents between the UK and the US).
My word, with that take on things…(our towns look like Kabul!!!! 😳)….maybe it’s a good idea for you to stay away! I live in the West Country and it’s bloody gorgeous everywhere I go. 😛
Haw about 10 dirtiest Arab cities in the uk.
lol
😂
