Love the fact that you were calling Stanford’s pie shop a restaurant 😂😂
It's actually a butcher's that happens to sell pies
"This restaurant doesn't seem to have anywhere to sit down and eat" - In the UK, we have a special name for ''restaurants' that don't have anywhere to sit down and eat - We call them "SHOPS"!

I am really enjoying the countryside episodes just because you get excited about things I am totally used to, it's great hearing a different perspective, makes me more grateful to be English!
This is amusing... I'm from Skipton, it's really funny watching you guys see my town through totally new eyes.
Another great video. Think I went there years ago. Churches like that in practically every village in the country.
I wish you had come over to visit in the summer rather then the winter , but you two are so cheerful no matter what the weather is ! :-)
Excellent Pies are Just around the corner nearer the High st. 50 yards away. Just where the Cobble Stones End for the Junction / Bend, Roundabout. These are The Pies i Prefer.
The shop is Just out of sight a 04:55 mins, just to the front of the white Van in the shot. Next to the Cafe with the Brown Wooden sign boards above.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious. It's a joy to watch your videos. It's so fascinating to hear your reactions to my country - it's like seeing it all again and learning to appreciate what I just take for granted.
Thank you! Glad you found us!
Love your video's I live here in the UK and enjoy your perspective of my country. Your style of presenting should be on terrestrial television it is that good.
many thanks.
Wow, thanks so much! -E
I agree. This is something that you might find on BBC 2, or a documentary channel.
...But, even better ({: D ....!
Why have I only just found this couple, my life's now complete 🤣
Brilliant video. As a Yorkshire native from just down the road from Skipton it's great to see what visitors think of the area. Looking at the rest of your videos you did the UK right, London's good but you went other places. All the best!
Seriously guys your on screen chemistry is infectious. You've given me a whole new appreciation for my own country.
So nice seeing my town through other peoples eyes ..
Hello from Skipton :) Glad you enjoyed your time here! :D
Next up we explore the awesome city of York! For now check out these other videos from England:

Love it! Really great to see your perspective on my neck of the woods. I'm a York lad (the pies are more expensive), lol.
Keep them coming, very entertaining!
English civil war 1640s, incidentally the Americans used a lot of legal stuff which came from the civil war and instrument of impeachment is very English. The English court used it to impeach Charles the First. This impeachment instrument is also used to impeach american presidents .American presidents have king like powers but on for four years. So you could say an American president is a king all but in name.
If you are looking for a haunted castle to spend a night at try.

Great seeing Americans enjoying Yorkshire. Hope you come to Sheffield next time you are over here.
So glad you enjoyed your visit to my home town. I really enjoyed your "take" on Skipton Castle and have also enjoyed your other videos. Hope you'll find time in your busy lives to return, but in the meantime, Thank You both for posting your videos. All the best from a "Skiptonian"!
At 6:55 I think you had a bit of an epiphany. Although we welcome tourists (especially if they're like you guys), England wasn't built with tourists in mind. Whether it's Skipton Castle, the Tower of London, or the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, it's all real!
Hi, im glad you enjoyed your visit. The reason that you find elaborate buildings in every town is because every town is potentially thousands of years old. :) and as time goes by, stuff just keeps getting older.
Love your enthusiasm! If you’re ever in the UK again then definitely go to Chester, in north west England! Absolutely filled with history. And also try and visit Pembrokeshire in Wales if you want gorgeous countryside and beaches; a nice way to see the country.
Skipton holds so many memories for me as it was a place I visited with my grandparents when I stayed over with them. I love how much you enjoyed it. :)
Glad you enjoyed the video! -E
Apple sauce is traditional with pork, going back for centuries.
You've seen medieval images of roast pigs with an apple in their mouth, right?
Haha, yea, but in this case it's not the pig eating the apple, it's me! Hahaha -E
-or Cameron...
And also, cooking pork in cider
I think that's a tradition that's been passed on here in the US, because here it's very common to have apple sauce with pork chops :)
Pork and apple bizarre? They're made for each other!
Good place for the canal trip.
You two seem wonderfully laid-back, really pleased that I found your channel. These England videos put a smile on my face and now I'm enjoying going through your Japan vids too.
Welcome to da fam! Lol. Yeah, they're really great. They've become my favorite travel vloggers due to how they travel off the beaten path a lot, and do a lot of things most don't. After you've gone through the Japan videos, if your looking to do some long binging, 8 years ago or so they did a backpacking trip around the world. That was the start of them vlogging their travels. It was an 16 month or so trip, so not only is it a good amount of content, but it's a really interesting, neat watch. They put it in a nice, convenient playlist. Look for the one that says RTW (Round The World ) Trip :))
Excellent! I'm So happy you decided to visit Real England and not just London. I hope you had a great time.
I emigrated from Skipton 16 years ago, so it was nice to catch up on the old place through this really enjoyable video.
I always think the "Celebrated Pork Pie Shop" is a prime example of good branding, because when I was a kid it was just a very ordinary butcher that happened to sell pork pies, as most butchers did. A lot of the small butchers in the town are long closed, but Stanforth's found its niche in pies.
Also, when I was a lad you couldn't really go into that chapel on the castle grounds, Well, you could, but it was basically where the gardeners and builders kept their tools and materials, so it looked more like a glorified barn/workshop. The castle as a whole has been spruced up quite a lot just in the last 40 years or so.
Great video, glad to see you come north (even though your on the wrong side of the pennines lol (i'm a Lancastrian), still anywhere north of watford is cool .
Apple sauce is a traditional condiment/accompaniment for roast pork, so it figures. Beef gets horse radish relish, lamb gets mint sauce, and pork gets apple sauce (plus gravy and roast potatoes and green beans and whatnot). I always think about how much work it must have been keeping castles running. That kitchen would have been running all day every day, because of how many people to feed and how long to bake and slow roast and everything else, and that in turn meant endless bringing in more firewood, and cleaning and polishing. And then there's the beds and the clothes and people getting sick however often and on and on, with everything having to be done by hand.
Wait...tiny little skipton? Newly subscribed and your york video comes up which I have to walk being from North Yorkshire and now you're in the town I grew up. Love this!
glad you found us!
There Is a really good woods area with streams, not sure If you walked It. Eventually It brings you full circle to the town area. If memory serves me I think the beginning on the bridge Is the start of It, across the road from the old fashioned sweet shop. Good videos, you guy's know what you are doing and have a genuine Interest In places. Regards.
We didn't walk all the way around, but we walked a bit of that path. Very cool little town. -E
Only just discovered your channel. Loving the UK vlogs! Castles rule OK!
The apple and pork pie is exactly what I would want. Growing up with English and Welsh born grandparents I was raised that the alternating roast dinner for Sundays when it wasn't beef was always pork roast with apple sauce. So that pie would of definitely been one of my picks for sure.
A friend of ours is a gardner at a castle and she lives in her own little castle too. It has three floors and every floor was a room. So magical to sleep over at her place 😃
I would recommend Manorbier Castle in Wales. You can book rooms and cottages. It's right on the beach its stunning. Also, Tamworth Castle in Staffordshire, small castle in the Heart of England, they don't do rooms to stay in but it's got so much history dating back to the origins of Mercia.
Wow! Tony Ferguson so peaceful and calm fella!))
Really entertaining.Thoroughly enjoyed you guys exploring Skipton.
Brilliant!
Nice tour of my quite local town - enjoyed it thanks for the nice comments - there is so much to see and do in Yorkshire
I had a long drop toilet in Oswaldtwistle in the 60's, that maybe 20 houses used, a carpark sits on it now.
Wish the weather has been kind to you it's much nicer in spring and summer 😉
Pork is a fatty meat so we serve it with apple so the acidic sharpness cuts through the fatty flavour to provide balance. Pork and apple is very common in the UK.
Welcome to Yorkshire :) good to see you having fun and trying new things :)
Our favorite things to do!
Love this so much hope you enjoyed Skipton, cant wait for York another place I know well,Yorkshire Museum free,aslo Jorvik Viking Center and of course The Castle Museum is a must.
I really liked how you could explore the castle on your own and pretty much undisturbed.
Yea, we got really lucky! -E
Kyde and Eric I remember going with my dad and my brother when I was a kid. it was just as quiet. We ended up playing hide and seek there and I remember my dad trying to shimmy up the chimney to hide
I love that too - being in a place you know is vibrating with so much history. Happened to us in Italy when I sat on a step that was worn down just like that, and I overheard a tour guide saying people were walking on that exact step for 200yrs before the United States was born...wild stuff.
Another awesome video guys. Keep em coming. I love it x
Really enjoyed watching this video xx I live in Yorkshire and have just found out that I am a descendant of the de Clifford’s, how exciting to see the old ancestral home xx Thank you again xx
Neat!
I am related to the Clifford family that lived in Skipton Castle its cool to see it. I live in wales so I need to see it.
If you liked Skipton, you would LOVE Haworth. If you're ever nearby again, you have to visit
Found your videos while looking up travel vlogs and trying to plan places to go and then I thought I recognized Eric. I'm from Fredericksburg and saw Atomic Raygun Attack live a couple times back then at the library! The concerts were fun! Small world/UA-cam! Cool videos and very inspirational!
What a lovely couple. And what a joy to see Skipton that I know fairly well, seen through someone elses eyes. Love you guys. ;-)
Skipton Castle gets very Busy in Summer & at Weekends. Skipton Also Has an open Street Market All down the Cobbles Down Main St, ( the Street Leading up to the Castle. )
You 2 are so funny love watching your videos of England. I am from Yorkshire. Keep doing what you are good at. Thankyou
Thanks! Glad you found us and are enjoying! -E
Maybe next time in the UK you can try doing canal trip, you can hire a narrowboat and explore the canal side pubs and the food they offer.
I live near Skipton and I’m a huge Zelda fan, always reminds me of Hyrule. Glad you enjoyed Yorkshire
It is so bizarre seeing you in Skipton. you found it so interesting, to me and my wife we had an hour there and its like 'yup, another castle, another church'. it is great to see you enjoying it though.
Haha, we like "normal" places. And yea, that kind of stuff is certainly not mundane to us anymore, but we can feel that way about temples and shrines sometimes in Japan, haha. -E
I'm from Skipton I enjoyed this video thanks! I like a bit of history Thomas Cresap an pathfinder and pioneer in maryland, was from Skipton, the Cresap society donated a bronze plaque to the town. Cresap had involvement with Washington they were at war over territory, the Washington family funded a stained glass window in Selby a by with their coat of arms, you could also visit Washington old Hall in county Durham. And the dungeon isn't the original the original is too dangerous to let tourists view as it is drop style with no railings round, but the one you saw was used at some point to house prisoners.
Ive just discovered you guys and im totally loving your videos , always entertaining - hilarious in places , but remember - cream AND jam on a scone , and plenty of gravy on a sunday roast !!! 😁👍🏻
Been to Skipton many times but never to the castle thanks for showing me round
Great video. Fun fact, in the middle ages there were over 4000 castles in England alone. That's 1 castle for every 1000 people. Most weren't this impressive though. I think to qualify as a castle, all it had to be was basically a tower with a fortified wall. Some were tiny.
About 45% of them were a mound of dirt, with a wooden tower in the center, with a wooden wall.
I've always loved Skipton Castle. Glad you did too. :)
Awesome video! And that chaple totally looked like the one in Zelda! Dang now you made me want to go play Zelda lol
Glad you enjoyed it! -E
You should come back around May time as everything looks so much better in the spring bloom...
Ok. I have to go to Skipton. That tree in the courtyard is amazing.
Secondary vote for “It’s like a castle in here!”
7:15 "It's not like there's an international airport down the road."
19 miles from Leeds-bradford international airport. ^^
Loved the video and can I suggest you visit the cotswolds my village Broadway in Worcestershire. Also sudley castle
Pretty cool you got to explore the castle all to yourself! You guys always have good quotes. "It's like a castle in here!"
I’m from silsden about 15 mins away from Skipton and stanforths is my favourite for pies
Rhiannon Johnson me too!
I live in Saltaire about 15 miles away from Skipton and it's my favourite pie shop also.
its funny how they call the pie shop a restraunt
Pork & Apple is very popular here in the UK ^^
We have this combination in a number of dishes including pasties, pies, sausages and roast dinners.
Omg I'm from Skelton! This is so weird to watch, absolutely love it!!
There is an international airport about 1/2 an hour down the road, but only a little one.
I'm an Englishman that is in Vietnam right now and i'm enjoying watching you enjoy England is that wierd?
I'm an American in Greece who lives in Japan replying to an Englishman in Vietnam about a video we shot in England, is that weird? -E
Kyde and Eric very weird. was just checking. keep up the good work!
What a wonderful pair these 2 are. Not the stereotypical loudmouth Americans you expect. Their vlogs are highly addictive. I could watch these guys all day.
Glad you enjoyed. Not sure why you'd expect us to be "loudmouths", but it seems to be a common misconception people from the UK have about people from The States. Our friends and family are all like us, it's unfortunate people are quick to assume we'd be bad people based on where we were born. Oh well. -E
Kyde and Eric ......sorry E...i honestly didn't want to sound offensive when I say loudmouthed......maybe I've watched too much tv. But honestly I've been watching you 2 guys so much over the last few days, and I love your vlogs. You're a cool couple and I've still got so much more of your travels to watch. I'm from Sheffield, Yorkshire myself. Did you visit our city?🖒🖒
Didn't make it to Sheffield this time, nope. But did spend some time in the general area. -E
Ok E.....please keep up your fantastic vlogs. Its got me hooked watching you 2 roaming around Britain. Hope you enjoyed it🖒
Great pie shop.
good video,really enjoyed your tour...thats one thing uk does,is showing off its history...
Pork and Apple is a traditional English food combination. Roast pork is often served with apple sauce, and traditionally boar's head was served with an apple in its mouth. Can't say I'm a fan, but it's traditional.
Hey, i live like a 10 second walk down the canal at the start of the video :D Great to see people enjoying my hometown :D
I love the video :) I've been here many times as a child as I am growing up in Skipton. I know it picture by picture and love to see people going to places I know so well. There is boat tours that run next to the castle on the other side of the path. It's a very cool experience and if anyone goes you should really try it.
Yea, we really wanted to get involved with the boat at some level, but we visited in February and seemingly all the boat stuff is closed for the winter. -E
Awesome video, great commentary.
We do have a lot of castles in Britain. I have one in my town, Colchester. Another great video.
Glad you liked our home town :)
Cant help thinking of The American Werewolf in London with these videos.
Pork and apple is literally such a normal flavour in this part of Yorkshire, were you staying more towards Lancashire, or south craven? The bus routes don't tend to be too bad XD I have to use them daily so I know the ins and outs but for a tourist it might not be. It's kinda funny seeing someone explore my everyday setting and finding it so weird and unusual. Those cockrels you found aren't anger they're just frizzle cockrels and always look like that but malt so bad! BTW I love how you called Skipton a 'city', the only city around here is leeds or bradford. You missed out not going to bolton abbey, too good to miss out on would recommend.
Hannah Adams Roast pork & apple sauce is normal, I agree. Pork pie with apple stuffed inside is a Sacrilege!
I remember telling my American buddy about a local church built in “ 680” he thought I was talking about that ‘weird European 24 hour clock thing’ 🤯😂😂. These old places are real not built for tourism. I’d love you to research the history of canals in UK. Great vid again.
Pork is fatty, and the acidity of Apple's cuts through the fat of the pork ,that s why the two is eaten together, and pork pies are usually pinkish in colour ,these are dark ,coz they mince everything up including the snout and add it the mix
You guys did the right thing, pork pies are eaten cooled or cold (which enriches the flavour)
Great Vlog again , really enjoying your reporting style .
Pork pies are generally eaten cold. That's a shop, not a restaurant.
That’s my town! I know all about skipton (well, I’ve lived her all my life!)
I love their pies with mushy peas
What was the name of the village you were staying in? I live just three miles away from Skipton, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit. =)
Gargrave! We have a video about Gargrave coming in a week or two.
Ah, righto! Thank you for letting me know. It's a nice place, Gargrave, though not quite the beauty that some of the other villages in the area are (as I'm sure you'll know after spending so long here). I went through there on the train earlier. =P
If I remember correctly from when I visited, the markings in the wall were to show who built it so they could get paid for their work.
Really enjoying your videos. It’s so great to see Skipton Castle getting featured; I live about 30mins from Skipton. Did you guys go to Malham? Definitely worth it, regardless of the weather just to see Malham Cove.
We didn't make it to Malham on that trip. Btw I like your hat. -E
Kyde and Eric lol thank you; all the coolest people wear red hats. Ah what shame you didn’t get to Malham....or Grassington for that matter; have to save those two for another trip. You should certainly check out North Yorkshire; Helmsley (there’s good pie shop there), Pickering, Whitby (the Abbey was an inspiration for Carfax Abbey in Dracula) & Robin Hoods Bay.
Apples and Pork is a classic food pairing as others have said. There are a multitude of recipes and even gourmet sausages that feature it. I think the hot pies juicy effect must be similar to the Chinese soup dumplings, where cubes of cold jelled stock are mixed into the raw ground/minced meat and it melts during cooking into a flavorful juice/broth that is best eaten while hot. I got the weirdest optical illusion when you showed the inside of that "striking" church. At first it appeared to be an outiside view of a tower at night from below from a courtyard, but was really just an ornately carved wooden lantern (?) inside the chapel. Maybe it was just on my monitor. Anyway, thanks for sharing another cool adventure!
I live there!

Another great video. ALL of those pies sounded So Good (except for one that had whichever meat it was and the mint). I would want to try almost every single one XD. And WOW, what a NEAT castle. And that church in Skipton and the chapel, what a cool little town =D
keandric 2: Most likely lamb because mint is the traditonal accompaniment for lamb.
Loved it. Wanted it to be neverending.
I live near Skipton in a village called Grassington
