Beautiful Village in Surrey Hills - SHERE Village - Village Walk and History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Shere Village nestled in the Surrey Hills is arguably the most beautiful village in Surrey. It is quintessentially English and has some of the most beautiful village shops, and homes. It's a mecca for ramblers, walking the Surrey Hills and passing through for a coffee and a sit by the River Tillingbourne that runs through the village. There is a great deal of history to this beautiful village, and some notable former residents, like Henry Cole the inventor of the first Christmas card!
You may well have seen Shere in the movies too. With Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason and the Christmas classic The Holiday being filmed in the village.
Join us as we take a wonderful walk and tell you about some of the history associated with Shere, Surrey. As a bonus, we visit Newlands Corner famous in the 1920s as the place where Agatha Christie dumped her car and disappeared for 11 days!
We hope you enjoy our trip to this beautiful village!

Gomshall, Abinger Hammer with its striking blacksmith high clock (if it's still there) were also beautiful, but There was the prettiest and possibly the most ancient.
I have seen nearly all of your videos and love them all but rarely comment. After watching this one I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy them and how much I appreciate your shooting and editing style, as it really gives one the sense of being there with you shooting as you walk along, also the nicely timed pans and staying on the view of the buildings for enough time to take a good look. Also the information you tell us, as well as the phraseology of it, is always interesting and enjoyable to hear. The artsy shots of flora and fauna or just certain angles of buildings, along with sometimes humorous finds, are also much appreciated bits. Finally, the music your choose always blends in with the location and sometimes in particular, the place, such as organ music in the church. Many travel UA-camrs use annoying, loud and totally inappropriate music for the location they are shooting, which can negate the total experience. Thanks so much for putting out such wonderful videos of such amazing places. Cheers!
Nancy this was just a lovely read! Thank you so much for all the compliments it really keeps us going to make more videos for everyone to enjoy. Thank you taking the time to support and watch our videos. Best regards Simon & Will
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Im moving to Shere immediately! Agh! "if wishing could make it so........." Fabulous choice of location to take us exploring - thank you! xx
It’s worlds apart from London
I’m 97% English, Scottish, Irish & Northern European, with most of it being English. I feel, when I watch your vids, almost home sick even though I have never been there. I felt this way most of my life as if it were my home & I should have been there. I think it is my DNA some how knowing I’m tied to the places in England.
Marvellous! I first went to Shere immediately after arriving off a 24 hour flight from Australia! Taken there by friends from Guildford for lunch at the White Horse. Jet lagged and somewhat disoriented, I felt like I’d dropped into a dream. Have been back numerous times on visits from half a world away, what a special place it is. Thank you so much for the tour.
We that would have been a great start to your U.K. visit going straight there! Glad you still enjoy coming back time and again.
I am Canadian, my country is beautiful but, to me, England is my loving choice.
The quietness of its country side, the beauty of its historic villages and the charming little rivers that run across the villages and the fields around make me so happy. I like walking with my dogs along the lanes throughout beautiful England.
History is everywhere. Lovely places where we can feel in harmony with the surroundings. Sometimes I dream I am back in Jane Austin, Emily Brontë , Daphné du Maurier, or Agatha Christy’s, good old days when there was no tourism, only the locals getting through their every day lives and I find this very joyful, romantic and relaxing. Thank you for showing such beautiful places.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and passion for England. We have a video coming this weekend on Emily Bronte and the rest of the family I hope you will enjoy.
I am an old soul who reads medieval history and romances set in England and Scotland you have a rich history
And glorious past as evidence by your buildings and villages I hope in my next lifetime I will to live in one of these places. Thank you for your very enlightening videos. d
hELLO aLBERTA IS THE MOST AMAZING PLACE IN THE WORLD SIR
Children of God can help
Visited many years ago, it's tiny place. Very picturesque
It is small but with the walks around the villages you can easily spend half a day here.
You guys are the best! We truly love your channel and thank you for making us feel as if we are there. We are anglophiles! We live in a little 250 year old house in New Hampshire USA but would move to the UK in a heartbeat if only we could!
Thank you so much glad you are enjoying our videos. Sounds like you have one of the oldest homes in America!
You need to check out magenta Otter travels. An American lady and her husband Ian who live in England two maybe three months a year and film there travels.
I've been touring England for two+ weeks every year for decades and often think I've seen way more of it than the average Brit. World circumstances has prevented that for the third year now and I really miss it but your videos greatly help with that - thank you!
Where would you recommend for visitors?
🇺🇲 use to have areas like this in different places. Peaceful, quiet and safe and you can just sit back and say AH. Clear your mind. Take a break from the hussle and bussel of a fast pace of living. To slow down and enjoy what God created. Videos like this. Switzerland Norway London are areas that I day dreaming of living in. That's what keeps me going day to day. THANK YOU very much 🇺🇲
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Shere is certainly a place to say ahhh and enjoy peace and quiet (most of the time) it does get busy 😊
THANKS SO MUCH for taking us along. You manage to capture the quaintness wherever you go and I don't even need a passport!
Thank you armchair travel is good but seeing it for real is the best. Hope you get to visit some of the places we share!
I’m lucky enough to live nearby. Very busy now but still lovely. Have seen many a film crew there over the years.
Thanks for another lovely video of the british countryside. As travelling is getting complicated nowadays, this gives me a little holiday feeling. And beside I try to improve my English. I'm looking forward to your next story.
So pleased you liked it Ingrid. Glad it gave you those nice feelings. Hope you manage to get travelling again soon!
Ah yes, if only I could move into this absolutely beautiful and exquisite village in a flash! Words cannot even begin to describe how I feel about this part of English paradise! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us ❤️
It’s quite a desirable part of Surrey to live, houses do not come up for sale often and they are snapped up quickly. As you say English paradise.
It's very, very beautiful.. but it's also brimming with tourists and visitors, especially in the summer, so it's not such a great place to live if you want tranquility and a slower pace of life! But more than worth a visit. A great video too.
Brings back memories. I visited England in 1973. A week in London and a week with a rental car. Shere was my first destination after leaving London.
Glad we stirred the memories 😊
Sheer Beauty! I love your village rambles. Really appreciate you getting up early to film before all the visitors arrive. We get to see all the lovely buildings and scenery uninterrupted. Feels like I’ve had a little holiday myself after watching your videos, thank you👍
Thank you for your kind words, it was a lovely day to be up and out early!
I used to read her books when I was in the secondary school. 👍🏻
Shere is very beautiful, and it has many resemblances to Wheathampstead, my home village.
Ooo I’ve put a pin in our map for your village does look similar with lovely houses and countryside walks! If we are in the area we now know to visit! Thank you.
@@MemorySeekers Oh that would be lovely. I grew up there. I lived where the Cory Wright by pass is now, and we had to move because of it. I still get homesick for Wheathampstead and I moved decades ago.
You guys have done it again, outstanding photography, professional narration, nice editing and suitable music, (most YouTubbers ruin what they put on with incorrect music). Thank you gentlemen, must visit Shere on our next visit. Looking forward to your next travelogue.
Thank you for the comment on the music we try really hard to match up the sounds and music to compliment the video so nice to hear we got it right this time! It can be harder to do that than actually make the video itself.
Thank you so much for your time and effort. I've always wanted to visit this place. Maybe one day for sure. Love from India ❤️
Hope you do! 😊
Lord Simon this one was Beautiful. I enjoy it immensely , I just got done watching it a second time. Well done Sir ….Well done.👍👍
Thank you so please you enjoyed it so much.
Hermoso pueblo inglés, muy apacible y pintoresco con sus casas entramadas y hermosas vistas... 😊😍
Great, great tour !!! This picturesque village makes us to dream. UK is really a country fall of true historic treasures. I stayed delighted while watching the video hearing the little birds singing. 🐦😃🤩
It really is a delightful village so pleased you liked it.
So well done, sir. Loved your choice of music throughout.
Thank you!
Very pretty village, thanks for sharing this.
I think I have ancestors buried in St. James's church, must have a ride up to Surrey one day and explore
Ah what a lovely place to rest in peace. Hope you make the trip!
@@MemorySeekers it's on my list of places to visit. Top of my list is the steam museum at York, I need to find a friend to accompany me as I don't fancy the journey alone. I'm sure it'll be worth the travelling when I get there
I love the timeline of buildings and that the village is proud of their past and maintain it, not trying to modernise everything. Thank you as always and take care. =-)
Yes the span of era’s is quite something.
What a beautiful village! The words idyllic, bucolic and pastoral all popped into my mind as I watched the video. I don’t remember ever seeing so many half timbered buildings in one place. And all of the paths and open spaces to walk on! As a Yank from the arid desert West I’m thoroughly jealous of you being able to have access to places like Sheer. This is yet another winning video. Thanks.
Hello Monica, it is a wonderful part of Surrey which does make it very popular. People like nothing more than a ramble or cycle in the Surrey Hills and then pop into the pub for some lunch. Makes for a fine day out. Thanks for watching.
As always another beautiful & interesting video. I can't thank you enough for bringing a little bit of England to my home in Arkansas.🙂
Our pleasure as always Brandie
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 You are correct about my heritage. Maybe that's why my heart yearns for England 🇬🇧 🙂
what a beautiful little village so restful and peaceful just the kind of a place I would love to live nice quiet parks a place where one could read the newspaper and have some coffee in the morning. thank you so much.
from a A grateful American 👍👍
Hello Gary, well at times its peaceful but its also quite a popular village to visit so does have its moments of chaos. You just need to pick the right time. Early morning I found pretty good.
Lovely, just lovely! Another wonderful video. Thank you for the subtitles as well. As a result of having multiple untreated ear infections as a child, it has left me with decreased hearing in both ears and there are certain pitches of sound that I cannot hear very well. I’m telling everyone I know about your videos, sharing them on my FB page, encouraging them to please subscribe. Since I’m not free to travel, watching your videos is a very good substitute. In your antidote about Agatha Christie, I have watched a recent television program on just that incident. There was speculation that her supposed mental breakdown and subsequent disappearance was a result of her husband’s having an affair and asking her for a divorce. Even though I don’t think either one were happy with the other, a divorce during those days was nothing short scandalous, with the woman always coming out of it with the blackened reputation while the man got to go on his merry way. Too, there’s no telling how much money she would have had to pay her husband because by this time, she was filthy rich from the sale of all her books.
Thank you yes you are right about the possible theories around the possible breakdown. Thank you for supporting us by sharing its really helpful for us to grow! All the best.
Thank you so much for sharing this video, which made me love my adopted country more.
Ah thanks for watching
What a beautiful peaceful and relaxing video, thanks alot, having lived in Italy for 57 this Is my England that l remember and love so much, Take care of yourselves love from Ann Italy 🇮🇹🥰🤗👍🇬🇧
Ah glad you enjoyed it 😊
I absolutely love the quaint buildings in this village and the history that goes along with it! Thank you for bringing this beautiful part of the country to life for us to enjoy.💕
You are welcome 😊
Hi guys! I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! I’m now planning a trip to the Isle of Skye thanks to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Greetings from Argentina.
How lovely to hear we have inspired you to visit from the wonderful Argentina as place we have been a few times and adore! I hope you make it happen and have a great time visiting the Isle.
Thank you guys, beautiful tour I wish I was there…
Hope you get to go one day!
How beautiful village! I'd to live there!🙏👍👏🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷🇬🇧
You are the best "Visit the UK" channel on youtube. We appreciate that the music is so appropriate & timely. You speak so nicely and pause the music. How refreshing. Thank you!
Ah thank you we are glad you enjoyed our U.K. videos.
Thank you,you never disappoint do you,how do you find all these out of the way gems?
Well this one is only 40 minutes from home and have never visited but heard through friends and family of its beauty. Sometimes we get suggestions, places we already know or research really.
aw i love Surrey ^^
i can't even imagine how lovely the walks would be xD
the cottages are so cute ..
thanks
Dziękuję ❤️😘pozdrawiam bardzo serdecznie
Hi guys, once again beautiful tour on a beautiful place with such a interesting history! As always so enjoy your excellent filming.
Hello thank you Lila, so pleased you liked it.
I love your series. I remember visiting some villages. I was cold for 3 weeks. Looked lovely but could not get warm. Most guest houses didn’t have central heating. I am a cold whimp unless I am skiing ending the day with a hot drink and a warm bed with central heating plus a fireplace
We are just starting to see the cold days again after a very hot summer. It is hard to adjust to what is to come. So glad you like the content we make. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video, especially listening to the birdsong, it must be amazing to live in a village with all that history and in such a nice setting. 🦘🐨🦘🐨😷👍👍
It was a lovely spring morning and the birds really were very happy!
Thanks for the upload. Used to live not far away. Beautiful part of the country. However, you need to realise that these villages can be bleak in Winter and are not ideal if you’re in your teens, or even 20’s or 30’s, it’s another World from living in a large town or city where there’s much more activity close by.
I read about it in a diary by Mrs.Miles's Diary from the M.O. diaries of a Housewife on the Homefront during WWII! So nice to actually see it here!
Thank you, what a lovely village. Pity our modern day way of life spoils the look, too many cars on the road.
I know the villages were made for horse and carts! 😊
I love Shere, it is such a beautiful and quaint village - you would never believe it is so close to London! Thanks for sharing
Our pleasure!
Well worth the wait. Just lovely, as always. Thank you Memory Seekers
Thank you for watching
My old stomping ground. Miss it a lot. I must say that weekends there are VERY busy. Thousands of people everywhere.
Yes it can be a very popular place to go. Lots of cyclists and people walking the surrey hills want to stop for a coffee or a pint. And why wouldn't you, its gorgeous!
Such a beautiful little village! The country side is beautiful! Thanks a bunch!
Our pleasure
It's absolutely a charming village. 👍 Thanks so much for this video.
Thank you for watching so glad you liked it.
Love love love your videos! I look forward to them on the weekends 🙂
😊 thank you hopefully we can get back to making them weekly soon!
Thanks Guys. Great pictures. I live in Leicester now but I was born in our family house in Weston Square, Albury in October 1936
Glad you liked it
Absolutely beautiful. This typical English countryside with the green rolling hills and the perfectly preserved country houses have got me really enchanted. To me that is the place i dream of spending my life in. Many thanks Simon for taking us there. Keep the good job up.
Ah it is such a lovely place, agree one of those you dream of living in.
Thank you for another beautiful tour.
😊
Thank you for the for a most interesting trip to ShERE VILLAGE, it has got just about everything, also all the bygone history still there,
its so pleasing to see it has not been altered with the times, look forward to more of your very interesting trips Thank -You,
Be still, my heart! So many lovely, charming cottages! I love to see historic buildings preserved and put to a new use in lieu of being demolished. The Holiday is a fun movie; it always cheers me up when the bustle of the Holidays becomes too much. You jolted me out of my reverie, however, when you showed the cell of the Anchoress of Shere! A long time fan of mystery fiction, I read Paul Moorcraft's novel of the same name many years ago. It's quite dark, but fascinating, with a modern day parallel plot line. Thank you for taking the extra steps in search of the local mysteries there. Cheers! :)
It quite amazing what stories you can unearth from almost every village or town. Something or some one fascinating has left there mark. Living quite near to this village I never knew about the Henry Cole link or the anchoress until researching the villages which is all part of the fun of making the video.
Wow, I've been there, had no idea it had all this! Must go again. Thank you.
It surprised us too! Researching the village found a treasure trove of history. I am sure there is more we didn’t find!
Thanks for all your travel vlogs mister as they are quite unique from conventional ones. If it wasn't for you I would have never known England harbors so much underrated attractions in its countryside . Really appreciate your efforts and thoughtfulness
Thank you for the lovely comment, so glad you enjoy them and we can share the places we like to visit in our country.
Wonderful tour of that picturesque village/town; very interesting.
Glad you liked it!
Lovely video, lovely town. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you for watching 😊
Gorgeous! Love these videos. As an American I've been to England twice and never really know if I'm going to get back again.
Glad you enjoyed it, hope you manage to get back one day.
Peace of mind place. 🙌
Delightful! Your videos are so well done - the camera work, your voice, your choices of sites and sights. I love them! Thank you so much!
Thank you for saying so lovely to hear! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing all these beautiful villages. You are so good at this. Love that you also share the history and other facts about each place.
Thank you for the lovely comment. So glad you liked it.
What a simply perfect village. Adding to my must visit list. I think I just need to travel with you two gents. You visit all the places I dream about! Thanks!!!
The memory seekers is the best channel out there, I love watching you guys explore the whole of UK and it's adjoining places, worth spending my Sunday's watching your videos.
So kind glad you like us! Thanks for watching 😊
Where is one of my favourite places from when I used to live in Dorking. The many historical buildings are just beautiful. I happened to go there one day to specifically visit the gift shop and was aghast to discover it had been turned into a coffee shop! A voice behind me asked if they could help me. I turned around to see two men sitting in a van. Turns out they were the Locations team for a film that was being made there called The Holiday. They told me to look at the roofs of the houses down the street and that’s when I noticed the fake snow! They said Jude Law and Kate Winslet had been there the day before, shooting scenes. I was absolutely amazed! The guys recommended I go up a muddy lane to see the fake cottage that had been put up for the film but unfortunately I had the wrong footwear on to tackle that and have always regretted not getting to see it apart from in the film.
I so enjoyed viewing this video. Undoubtedly, it took a great deal of time and effort to produce; thus, I'm grateful for your efforts. I've subscribed to your channel and recommended it to family and friends who champion similar content.
I look forward to future episodes, whatever the subjects may entail.
Best,
Hello Gerald, thank you for your kind words and sharing our details. This really is a great way of helping us. So glad you enjoyed the tour, lots of other videos to watch and catch up on. All the best.
stunningly beautiful.
Lovely, lovely. Thank you once again for making my Saturday a special day. Blessings
😊
Lovely episode as always, thank you so much 💗
Thanks for watching!
I have watched your channel for some time now and may have only commented once or twice. Just wanted you both to know you are doing a great job sharing places far away from where I live (USA) in such a professional but easy manner that is so relaxing. I almost always learn something and feel like i have had a very much needed bit of escape to a peaceful village or destination. Your style does make one feel we are walking right along with you seeing and hearing everything you are. Good job, safe travels.
Angela thank you so much for the lovely review of our videos. Really appreciate the comment that keeps us going making new videos! All the best!
When i see this vedio ,my heart really misses me .seeing the old English village full of safety prosperity anda beauty.
I love all the history you share about all these different places.
Well it just add interest rather than just showing the scenery. Always a frustration when we have watched other videos. We like to find out a bit about the place and share it. Part of the fun of making the videos. So glad you like it!
A beautiful village. Thank you x
Thank you!
Thankyou for showing us. Lovely place. Most attractive.
😊
Haya. Wow, such beautiful village, so much history & the old building are just wonderful. Thanku so much for sharing. x
One of the best in Surrey
Simon I think you're amazing. I "walk" with you often!
Thank you 😊
It’s lovely to see all the lovely villages you find some I’ve never heard of but beautiful , thankyou
Just tripped over your channel. I was lucky to attend Shere primary school in the 1970's. This brought back great memories.
Another great movie, thank you!
Absolutely fantastic. What a gorgeous village. A bit of history thrown in. Just love your videos. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Thank you Linda 😊
Gorgeous picturesque village. Nicely filmed and put together. Really liked the background music 🎶
Thank you 😊
We love your channel and it really is so beautifully presented. It is a total joy to follow you on your travels. Thank you.
Adele
What a wonderful little village! Thank you for showing it to us!
Our pleasure 😊
Add Die Monster Die from 1965 to the movie list. I watched it last night and the little bridge at the beginning of the movie looked so familiar! Turns out the fictional Arkham in the movie is Shere. Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
😊
I really enjoy your videos. The scenery, of course, is beautiful. The narration brings it to life with the excellent and comforting delivery. The narrator is exceptional and I enjoy letting the videos run just to have his voice for company in quiet evenings. Thanks so much for all you do and all of your folks to do it.
Thank you very much!
What an idyllic, peaceful place! Thank you for taking us around nice and early-- the place seems made up entirely of birdsong and sunshine. x
Thanks very for the awesome visit. Great accent too
Glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful England
My, that is a pretty place. Thank you for sharing... I will be re-watching I think.
