In this UK vanlife vlog, we visit Dorset and the Jurrasic coast. The Jurrasic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site & stretches 95 miles and starts at Old Harrys rocks which was our first stop. We also visit the iconic Durdle Door and its neighbours Lulworth Cove & Stair Cove. We are so happy to be back to vanlife in our T4 Camper and this was the perfect first place to come since we got the van fixed.

⭐ About Travel Beans:
Welcome to the official Travel Beans UA-cam channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

Knobless Beans, thanks again for making me smile, while the 2 of you crack yourselves up!
Love you two in the old videos and the three of you in the new ones.
Good to be Happy... Wherever you go! ❤️
That's definitely a peregrine, we have them nesting in the church tower 100 yards from our house ( Preston)
Glad you got it fixed! I know what you mean about smells. Sent my Daughter an old shirt worn by my Grandson, when he was a baby, to be given to my Great Grand son to wear. She stated it smelled like my house, which due to Covid she hasn’t been able to visit from out of state. And the smell made her cry. Good to see new videos! ❤️
Aw... I can completely relate to that! I love visiting my family house.. the smell of home is so special 🥰
Those beaches were just so STUNNING! Thanks for capturing it for all of us to see
Love you both, in or out of the uk, as an israeli who lives in France ill be happy to see you exploring those places , in your own style and your love to life that is very authentique and totaly addictive ! keep on vanning, fanning and laughing !
The steam train from Corfe Castle to Swanage is well worth a revisit to Dorset. Great video guys. Had a fantastic holiday there a few years back 🥰
These videos make me feel like everything is gonna be ok
Aw Angela! 💛💛💛 this is so sweet.. and you're right, everything IS going to be OK. The universe always has a way of balancing everything out 😊💛
You two!!! What are you like! Emma, so happy and content and giggly all the time, Alex, smiling even when you're annoyed! 😂 so refreshing 💜 P.S. After traveling all that way, why didn't you buy some plain biscuits to go with the rather delicious looking cheese!?🤣🤣🤣💜💜💜
I laughed so much at the end of this vlog - you two are a tonic! :-)
😂💛 so happy to hear it!
The girl could be a tv presenter
She has such a gd voice & presence for it …
Aw thank you! 🥰
Bitter and cold…🤣🤣🤣 you had me in stitches with that
🤣
Happy you're back on the road! Dorset is gorgeous.
Thanks Susan! 🙏
Hilarious as always, enjoyed immensely! 😆
Ah thanks Chris! 🙏💛 so glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely love Dorset and it’s a good thing you didn’t go for a swim in that water or you really would be knobless 😂
Yay! Glad you got your van fixed. Gosh so Beautiful 💙💙💙 truly thank you for sharing your Country's Beauty
Thank you!
The pigs a great idea. Travelling beans & bacon. Sounds yummy.
😂
If you guy's are going to Norway and Finland, please do all the services in Poland before you leave! Change engine oil and filter, transmission oil, timing belt and water pump change (its cheap) check the dust covers of the driveshafts, and remember to grease the bearings if you do not have any noise yet.. And if the brakes are about to need a change, do that in Poland also.. Then you will have a worry free vacation 💪
And a last thing you can do, it's a preventative thing to put a diesel additive in the fuel tank.. Take a bottle and put it in the tank, fill it full and way you go...
Cracking up at the cheese saga and the awkwardness of buying something, as it was a small shop! 🤣 Beautiful scenery!! Love UK… my favourite place on earth; really looking forward to all the van travels there!!
I still have never been to the UK and I've been dying to as of late!
1. Clovelly
Drove a long way to get to it
It is good and one of those things that's on your bucket list and you've heard so much about it, so you got to do it but keep your expectations low
2. Tintagel Castle: It's ruin rather than a Castle
I missed that part of it while planning for it
Bring a strong bladder and knees with you
So glad your home safe n sound , and so glad the van is ok ,great vid as always xx
You had a narrow escape with not having any Dorset Knobs. They are SO HARD you could build a footbridge to Old Harry with them. We tried them once, and left one out deliberately to see if it would get softer as it went stale. It didn’t. It just got harder. (LOL) Just NO.
Beautiful beaches? You need to come down to Cornwall, never mind Dorset. Kynance Cove at low tide. Gwithian Towans - 3 miles of golden sand…..
Kettle’s on - see you when you get here!
Oh - and “When You Scan We Can” - National Trust members scan their membership card to get free parking all day - the place where you scanned it get a portion of your monthly membership fee to help fund and preserve that place. Membership for a couple is £10 a month , and considering it costs about £8 to park all day at some places it’s well worth it.
No, I don’t work for them 🤣 but yes we have a membership. 🤪👍🏻
Haha sounds like we were lucky then! 😄 We would love to take the van down to Cornwall! Perhaps after the school holidays are over 😁
Agreed, Dorset knobs are awful - definitely a lucky escape with the shop having run out!
I was kinda buzzed to see you guys nibbling on a Dorset nob with stinky moldy cheese :-p But a crusty delicacy cracking between Alex's teeth while his face clearly signals to be in heaven... will do. I also loved Emma knocking on a Durtle door which was already open :-)
Whats weird, Thailand was beautiful, but I really like your broken old van adventures more! 💗 Glad the beans mobile is now fixed! 👍🏻😂
Aw 🥰 that's great to hear! We love variety when it comes to travel.. so we are so grateful to have our lovely old van to help us explore the beautiful UK when we're here 💛
Knobless section was hilarious guys! Great video. I will definitely be heading to that coastline this year!
Beautiful.
Beautiful coastline.👍😊
Stunning scenery vlogged so well. You guys capture the moments with a great sense of humor. The van back on the road brings you back to good karma. Love you guys'
Thank you so much! 🙏🥰
So glad it was just the linkage bushes! I mentioned that as soon as you guys said he sorted it with cable ties, since then mine have gone on my T4 too 😂 love how you guys are together. Really wish one day I will be there too ❤️ very sweet guys
Good to hear that it was relatively easy to get the van running again :-)
We went to Bridport, and Westbay when we were in that area. Did laundry, and got ready meals we ate at the air bnb which was sooo cool a converted old bakery. The beaches were amazing. We got a hamburger in Westbay that was for sure sausage of some kind. Alex would have loved it. lol
😂
Nice to see a video from the Travel Knobs! 🤣
😂 the travel knobs.. it has a nice ring to it!
Great video as always, you two crack me up! 🤣 honestly your a great couple and it really comes across ......soppy moment over! Safe travels in the lovely t4 🤙
Aw thanks Colin! 🥰 that's so nice to say! We appreciate the soppy moments 💛🙏 thank you!
Do you two, ever not be happy x brilliant couple x
I love Dorset knobs too! 😋 Have the Dorset Knob tin and mail order Dorset knobs all the way from Scotland 🏴
Hi Travel Beans - greetings from Australia. Glad your van did not become a “has bean”! Your experience reminded me of my first car, a Mercedes 170 (pictured). In the 1960’s I drove from Melbourne to Jindabyne via the back roads and broke a rod at the back of the gearbox (we treated the Merc like a Land Rover). I had no reverse and had to crash all gears for about 570km back to Melbourne. Enjoyed your van conversion videos.
Great video... From Swanage to Lyme Regis is certainly a beautiful place to live!
Guys, we live in Somerset, 2 miles from the border! Hit us up next time and we will show you around with our sprinter too :-) would love to show you both what our county and Dorset has to offer
Hello, as you said, your in Thailand one day then back home in England?? I can't begin to wrap my head around all the traveling, crossing borders, customs, passport and all!!!!. I just love your experiences of your travels.. abroad... be safe and healthy 🙏 enjoy your adventures.💙
Definitely a peregrine. Quite common along the cliff tops on the Jurassic coast.
Nice! Good to know!
This past weekend!!! We drove a ridiculous distance to see some stuff that was closed, even though the websites said they were open... And this same rule also applied to EVERY SINGLE place we tried to eat lunch at, because I don't know if you know, but Sunday's in the Southeast US, most stuff (if it's even open) closes as soon as the church crowd finishes lunch. Unfortunately, we spent so much time driving in literal circles to places that were closed, we missed the lunch window for every place we wanted to eat at. I feel your pain. 😂
Oh no! That's the worst!! You must have been so hungry 😅 I hope you brought road trip snacks!
@@TravelBeans I’m chubby so there’s always snacks… 😂😂😂😂
Great news!
You are the happiest person in the world when you laugh. Makes me happy as well. We went to Bournemouth in the hottest July days, not far from old Harry.
Yayy!! Lets all keep spreading happiness! 💛💛💛🥰
I mean a zip tie ? Wow glad you guys had a good trip and are safe!
Last year on my birthday we drove 8 hours to Rakotzbrücke in South-East Germany to discover the lake had been drained of water and the bridge covered in scaffolding. 🙈 The take away from that was, don't trust Google maps when it says "open" ! Double check!!
Oh no!!! Haha yes Google has caught us out a couple of times saying things are open when they haven't been 🤦♀️
I did not know what a nob meant in British English, now I get why you were laughing so much. The coast of England is so beauiful. Thank you!
😂 yes.. and thank you for watching! We're so privileged to be able to share so many beautiful places here 🥰
Hello, I would just like to say a huge well done on returning to U.K camper holidays. Love Dorset and you should have tried Corfe Castle due to their cream teas… happy memories of slicing a scone into three, not two and applying oodles of cream and strawberry jam to each slice whilst watching a steam train pass by below - magnificent views too. Keep up the U.K. trips please….
Thank you! Such a beautiful area.. we will have to go back again sometime and visit what we missed!
Great video guys.I hope to see one day Old Harrys rocks and the rock with a hole.
So sorry to hear you didn't get any knob, hope you managed to get some eventually! ;-)
It’s a shame you missed out on your knobs but at least I got to have good ole laugh with you all!! 😂😂👌👍
yep that's a peregrine 😍
Yesssss the van is fixed, travel beans back on the road again (nice impression of Danny Mallin from Rate my takeaway 🤔)
Great ice cream in Lulworth Cove 😋🍦
My locsl pub in Poole was called the Dorset Knob. It's since been turned inot a Co-op.
Awesome! Loved the local wildlife and the knob less cheese! 👏🏻😂
😂 thanks Mara!!
Pigs r great! Had them as pets as a kid, but traveling with one??? Love ur videos! God bless! I laugh more at ur videos than any others! Keep up ur great work!!
Durdle doooooooor! One of my faves
So glad it was after all an easy fix for the van.
About "getting out of my way to get something and ending in bitter disappointment", I once drove 2 hours to the Orval Abbay to get some of their famous trappist beer, hard to find in any store, but once there I found out the bloody monks were sold out! I ended up with a loaf of "homemade bread" that was hard as a rock instead
I live a few miles away from St Ives in Cornwall. Yes - it’s hell in Summer, but go before 8am and it’s so quiet. It’s a joy just to wander around watching the business getting ready for the day. In that sense it seems almost Mediterranean.
Its a shame you didn't visit Tyneham. Its a abandoned ghost village since the Second World War. Well worth visiting.
We were so sad we couldn't visit there as it sounds so interesting! But it was closed 😭 .. next time! 🤞
Great stuff , Sherbourne and ham hill
Popular for walking ,boating and water activities....you for forgot the miles and miles of rock climbing! and on some routes you can even see the exposed fossils whilts hanging off your finger tips
I knew that was what it would be with the gearbox, work for VW and we used to do them regular when these were the current model. We call them pickled onions because thats what the bush ball joints look like. Glad it was an easy fix
Nice to see you back in the good old UK Brilliant video beautiful part of the world
Thanks Kevin! 🙏💛
Highly recommend Wales. The green bridge in Pembrokeshire is quite similar to this. Also a very curious seal is living near Worm's Head (Rhossili Bay) at the moment.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Wales! We've only been on a short trip to Pembrokeshire so would love to visit again.. and the curious seal sounds like a new friend we didn't know we needed! 🤩💛
Hilarious - another channel I am glad I found- came here from the Endless Adventure guys
A classic Beans vlog, not sure if it’s down to the editing or you were just relaxed and enjoying yourselves, maybe there were no sponsors involved so you didn’t have to try too hard. Whatever the circumstances it’s one best in a while, loved it.
I love a relaxed, real vlog. It's refreshing.
"As well as the activities on offer, if you are lucky, you might even spot some of the local wildlife before you leave."
(View of older English bather falling over backwards in the water) 🤣
There is no doubt who edited this footage... none, whatsoever.
Vantastic.
You missed Lyme Regis where they filmed The French Lieutenant's Woman. Also Golden Cap which is the highest cliff along the Jurassic Coast.
Watching this I was wondering how early you got there. Amazing the difference a couple of hours and a bit of inclement weather makes! I noticed you passing the massive queues as you drove from Corfe to Studland. You missed the best beach too at Shell Bay. Other places you may have missed… Spread Eagle Hill is worth a stop if you’re driving through Dorset.
We arrived just after 8am.. perhaps around 8.15
We spent about an hour at Durdle door before walking across to Lulworth cove.
Thanks for the recommendations for our next trip down that way! Very useful! 👍
Grreat vlog peeps. 11:11 the guy falls over in the sea. Oops 💙❤️#SUPPORTVANLIFERS #vanlifeuk #ukvanlife #travel #adventure #fulltimevanlife #houseless #alternative #alternativeliving #smallspace #vandweller #house #home #vanlife #vanlifediaries #ukvanlife #uk #instavan #lifeontheroad #LeaveNoTrace #HouselessNotHomeless #speakupforlee
Maybe Durdle Door means more than just ‘drill’ from the olde English. If ‘door’ is a corruption of the ancient British/Welsh word ‘dwr’ which means water it would be a hole drilled by water🤔. There are many names in Dorset derived from olde English and I found some older text from Victorian times, concerning Celtic words and meanings that suggest the name Dorset is derived from the Dwr Sett or place of the Water people, in much the same way as we say that the country set are the people that live in the country.. The pre Roman name for Dorchester in Dorset is Caer Dwr, Caer meaning ‘fortified settlement’, Caer still being in common use in Wales. The ancient people of Dorset were also known as the Durotiges.
Alex's comments about the Dorset Knobs had me laughing once again! You two are just too much! 😅. Even though Thailand is my favorite place, the UK is beautiful too!
Thailand is #1 on my bucketlist for travel. It seems so different than anywhere else in the world!
You two are very entertaining
I had to laugh at the blue cheese bit. As a kid I remember my Grandfather loved blue cheese and used to have some every day. Most of my time spent with him and Nanna was camping with them in their little 12 foot caravan. Yep that blue cheese definitely used to smell the van out. I always teased him that it smelt like rotten socks.
It looks like a lovely bit of the countryside. One day when we can go overseas again, and get safely back into Australia, hopefully hubby and I can get to see it ourselves.
Loved this vlog, classic beans content not giving a shit how the companies getting free promotion will feel. Cheesy knobs and old men falling over classic! Also loved the UK beach description so true 😂
😂 Happy to be of service!
This was fun to watch! We want to learn more about the history of the Jurassic coast, now. Very cool rock formations!
The rock formations are always my favorite part of outdoor vanlife vlogs!
Yes Alex thats a peregrine Falcon. Also though, being a Weston boy, top of Clifton gorge there’s always peregrines up there you can watch from the top….near Cabot tower side I think……?
And in the Old Town Quarry W-s-M.
No way!!! Good to know, thank you! 👍 There's also one at uphill marina 😁
There were also nesting peregrines at Friars Reach development right in the centre of Bristol by Castle Park. The sea gulls were giving the young hell though!
Wonderful video. Nice creation.
Great work friends.
I love how you just laugh at each other and with each other so lovely to see, my biggest let down was probably lands end, very Meh and they wanted £10-95 to have a picture taken at the sign post after paying £7 to park the car
Oh no! 😂 I hate it when places like that charge so much for those things
Great vlog guys. Beautiful footage and you made me cry laughing with your knobless biccies!! 😅 x
we have just finished a 5 week tour round Cornwall and then Scotland (Glasgow, Skye, NC500 and then Edinburgh ) our disappointing mission, was 1h 45min to go and see Tintagel, only to find you had to book in advance, so we went and found a walk so we could at lest see it, to then see that we were actually glad that we hadn't payed to go over, as there is nothing there apart from 1000 steps, which isnt the best for me with lung disease 😂
Sometimes things really do work out for the best. We went to an Indian burial mound that was closed. We walked down a path and there was another tourist there who said that the path gave better views of the thing than if we had entered the site. Love it when it works out
Oh no!!! Heartbreaking! We also visited there only to find out the castle was closed for renovations! 🤦♀️ it's a beautiful area though 💛 sounds like you had a pretty amazing trip, going to all those places!
@@hulahickey6959 we had similar at Stonehenge, went down the road between the henge and the visitors centre, found a footpath round the side, asked the security guard how much closer we got if we payed, he said the path he was on, so about 8 foot 😂
@@TravelBeans yes it is a fabulous area to walk round, and you can walk for free all along the coast, only bit you cant do it walk over the bridge to the island 🤷♀️ it was an amazing trip, got a quick trip to York planned, then back to having to be at home for the kids and school, just looking forward to the next school holiday to get away again :)
"You might even spot some of the local wildlife before you leave".....I spat my vodka everywhere hahahaha
The way it dived looks like a Peregrine Falcon. Dorset also has plenty of Buzzards, kestrels. Some Red kites and a few nesting pairs of Osprey.
Oh wow.. an osprey would be amazing to see!
Wanting to go durdle door for a while but just havnt managed it yet… looks gorgeous
If you like cider you could have gone up to the Square and Compass pub in the lovely village of Worth Matravers just up the road a bit from Corfe.
Noooo! Gutted.. we love love love e cider 😋
Watching you walk on from the WW2 lookout

Haha thanks donny! Enjoy your long weekend! 👍
Should’ve visited Lyme Regis instead and Arne. Maybe a boat ride to Brownsea Island. Lulworth and Durdle Door are overrated. Pop into the Ship Inn, Wool, we will feed and refresh you. PS, love your channel. Alex….you and my partner have the same eating habits….Emma….love your enthusiasm for life xx
I'm just going to campaign to get you guys to Costa Rica and have Alex freak out when he sees our birds.
Oh my goodness.. he would FREAK OUT! 😂💛 that would be a dream! One day we'll make it over to that part of the world! 🙏
You fail 100% of the time you don't try. Go for it!🎉
Hi, Really pleased to see this channel. Love the humour and the innuendo and plus all the informative stuff too. looking forward to watching more of your stuff.
Welcome!! So happy yo hear you enjoyed it! 🥰
😂 loved this video.
Drove from Fort William to Mallaig to get the ferry to the Isle of Skye only to be told the next ferry wasn’t for 6 hrs. Turned around and drove all the way back to go onto Skye by the bridge. Still lovely scenery. Would still recommend. Us Canadians were just pressed for time.
Oh no! What a bummer! 😂 you have to laugh in these situations though eh
@@TravelBeans laugh or cry…..thank god it was so beautiful.
