    Hi guys another very enjoyable video. The light in the stained glass was wonderful. Love the devil's bridge legend he must have better builders than us to build it in one night. The river with all those bridges was lovely bet they had a great view from the balloon 🎈. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

      So glad you enjoyed the Kirkby Lonsdale video! ✨ The stained glass really was something, eh? 😜 And that devil's bridge... honestly, what a legend! 😂 We reckon he probably used a wee bit of magic to get it done so fast! 😉
      The river views were stunning, weren't they? We're chuffed you liked it!
      Have a fantastic week 😎

      @scootladychicago Hey you! So glad you enjoyed our little adventure in Kirkby Lonsdale! 🇬🇧 The Devil's Bridge 😈 was a hoot, wasn't it? 🤣 And yeah, that "yellow" bridge (technically it's "ancient" 😉) definitely had a special something... maybe the Vikings left a bit of magic behind? ✨ Thanks for the well wishes, you have a fantastic week too! 🤗

    Only an hour away from us, yet we have never been before but it looks like we have been missing out. That church was amazing, always love stained glass windows in a church and good to see it was open so you could enjoy it. More than one lovely view there and yes, plenty of Viking myths and legends in the North of England. King Arthur has had more resting places in different parts of the country and I would be happy if they could find just one of them, cheers Alan

      We're absolutely chuffed you enjoyed our little jaunt around Kirkby Lonsdale! You're right, it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it drive from your neck of the woods, but blimey, what a hidden gem! ✨
      That church, eh? ⛪️ A proper stunner, isn't it? Stained glass windows always make me go a bit 😇
      Cheers for watching and leaving such a lovely comment, Alan! 👍 Keep exploring, mate, and maybe we'll bump into you in Kirkby Lonsdale one of these days! 😊🍻

    Looks like a beautiful place. I love finding out the history of little places like this and all the myths and legends attached to them, and you tell it all so wonderfully. I love an Arthurian legend. I live just down the road from where Merlin was from actually 😁

      😂 😂 Absolutely, @DesmondsDonders! I was hooooping someone would pick up on that cheeky comment about Ruskin. 🏞️ He did love this view though, didn't he? Maybe just a tiiiny bit obsessed. 😉 Let's hope he found some other lovely spots to admire out there! 💖 Thanks for watching and sharing the LOLs! ✨
