How The National Trust Helps Preserve British Natural Landscapes | Britain's Treasures From The Air
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Across the world, Britain is famed for its idyllic countryside - an incredibly diverse landscape of natural beauty, farmland and settlements. The richness of rural Britain also lies in its countless historic treasures from castle ruins to great gardens. The need to safeguard Britain's countryside and heritage for future generations gave rise to one of the greatest conservation charities in the world - The National Trust.
Britain’s Treasures from the Air takes a spectacular look at how the National Trust has pursued its simple mission to preserve Britain's most valued places, 'for ever, for everyone.' From its humble beginnings over a century ago, it's now a national institution and one of Britain's biggest landowners with properties ranging from vast areas of countryside and coastline, to churches and even entire villages!
Beautifully filmed from the air, the programme takes the viewer across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to witness the wealth of natural beauty and heritage that are currently in the care of The National Trust.

Great video unfortunately ruined by the adverts
I take it you've never heard of the vitrified stone towers of Scotland - brochs?
What drone did they use???
What I always find amazing for such a small island with so much industry and towns, is the amount of green. I love that about my country, it's beautiful.
That was simply brilliant and so well done. I loved watching this presentation. The narrator couldn't have been improved upon. Well done.
Being stuck in S. Africa due to the virus, this makes me realize how glorious England is. I just want to go home and rediscover everything. 💚
Aww honey. I hope you go home very soon 🌹 it will all pass eventually
I'd love to be stuck in South Africa with you
Back home in uk after years away in usa. Absolutely loving it and never leaving again.
First thing when I go back home to England, is drive around the countryside and enjoy everything
Everything?
@@מטגורג Everything
@@מטגורג yes
❤
Is that after you've been of plundering booty and shivering timbers?🤣🤣
So beautiful, although I slept a bit next to the woodburner :}... Britain is lovely and full of heritage! Thanks a lot.
The people of England are very nice people..
I like them..
Plenty of hospitality ☮️
@@dankmazzi2376 I'm glad to hear it. It's nice to know that some people actually like us haha
Full of heritage maybe but you omitted to mention also foreigners & illegals
This video makes me love and appreciate the wondrous sites of Britain ever more. Such a beautiful country! I really hope the indigenous Britons protect it for many centuries to come.
We will
What do you mean by “indigenous britons” exactly?
@@AmateurishAstronaut Christian 😁
Mike Mongrel Because ‘indigenous’ refers to a race who indigenously inhabit a land... England no longer has an ‘indigenous race’. It has been subject to thousands of years of invasion and immigration. England is a melting pot of different civilizations and has been for thousands of years now. The ‘indigenous’ Britons were literally cave men living here before we were invaded by Romans, Scandinavians, Normans etc...
Mike Mongrel A recent arrival? My entire family are British... Born and raised here. I’m just stating facts. Know your history.
This makes me miss England. When you live in a part of the world long enough you kind of take the beauty for granted.
My favourite film ever. A flying over the majestic sceneries of the United Kingdom's countryside. Thank you for sharing this.
Favourite film ever?? Haven't you ever seen star wars? 🤣🤣🤣
@@darthpaul490 No, thank you. Actually, I am not as much into "Star wars" as I am into "The exorcist".
I love the England countryside with wheat fields, green hills, farmland, hedgerows, horses, sheep, and cow
In Kent we mainly do Rapeseed (for oil), so we have miles and miles of bright yellow fields all the way to Thanet
Isn't that nearly every country???
Outstanding documentary and exceptional narration. Most beautiful sights. Never been so happy. Thanks.
Oregonian here.. UK was the 1st place I've been outside the US(besides the Vancouver airport... a story in itself haha} and it was amazing. I know the UK is struggling to maintain its identity, but it is still amazing and beautiful, and I know so many amazing people there.... those people are friends, just like Ukrainians. The regular people are brothers (and sisters) in freedom.
I wish this had a mini map in the corner that followed where these places are. It is beautiful footage and awesome descriptions. Thank you.
The National Trust is a truly brilliant concept which all other countries should emulate!
It was emulated in the USA have you heard of the CCC
The trust is a concept that has saved thousands of Btitish landmarks homes and monuments since its creation and if it wasn't for the trust many places would have vanished.
@@edwardvii1895 forgive me, but what CCC are you referring to? The Civilian Conservation Corps? The California Corrections Center?......?
They do ..Lols
What a beauty, thanks a lot for this upload...
Wonderful... thousands of lovely walks... "Man is organic with the world. His inner life molds the environment and is itself deeply affected by it." "The country is the world of the soul, the city is the world of bodies." ~ Baha'i Faith
I'm always fascinated with Lacock village...it is such a lovely village with a lot of interesting scenes to visit...like the one of the slot that Harry Potter was filmed
Unfortunately visitors do tend to forget that ordinary people actually live there. I've seen people try to peer through windows, and ask why people aren't in costume!
Watching this here in Ireland, I'm jealous. Spectacular documentary thanks.
I think you have some nice scenery over there too!
Hello from Kansas 🇺🇸
Hi
Hello from Llanharan, Wales
Beautiful video. Ty 👍
Just me. Here. You know... being all American. Every kinda European in my blood. With a dash of Native American. Lol I love learning about Europe. It is a big part of who I am 💘
I'm ENGLISH and even I'm learning about ENGLAND I've never been to a lot of places there showing here but I'll have to get out more and travel around the british Isles do you want to accompany me ?? Lols
Thank you for you wonderful documentary.
I find this very interesting. Have heard of the National Trust just didn’t know how it was started.😊
A lot of Landowners, were crippled by Death Duties, so would hand over their properties, the Queen gifted all Royal Estates to the Nation, on her Coronation, something George III, (known as Farmer George) bestowed on the Country, during his reign, it became the National Trust for all of us..
It's now split into 2; the National Trust, and Historic England. I'm an Archaeologist; and on a recent conference dinner (recent minus covid) I was sat at the table with all the women that manage historic buildings. Dover Castle can't get a fire truck close, Richborough is excavating the amphitheatre, and if you get flooded just say the reproduction stuff is old for the Inssurance.
Same
Great documentary! Quite a lot of historical inaccuracies though, but still good!
Need more videos like this 😍😍😍
Amazing video, wonderful sceneries
"Nothing - and I mean, really, absolutely nothing - is more extraordinary in Britain than the beauty of the countryside.
Nowhere in the world is there a landscape that has been more intensively utilised - more mined, farmed, quarried, covered with cities and clanging factories, threaded with motorways and railway lines - and yet remains so comprehensively and reliably lovely over most of its extent. It is the happiest accident in history"...Bill Bryson. American-born writer
This “green and pleasant land” ❤️
As always, timeline never disappoints.
Wonderful documentary 👏 ❤
I will visit these beautiful gardens one day.excellent video
This video randomly showed up on my recommended and..... well, I thoroughly enjoyed that I must say
Amazing!!
Some beautiful birds eye views here. Though possibly had to edit out the fly tipping and the doggin areas!
Great documentary!
Enjoyed that very much Thankyou
Beginner gardening in the UK equals advanced gardening everywhere else…
I’ve been a member for about 10 years it’s some where you can take your grand children
Beautiful🤩🤩🤩
This is a world I want to ever be!!
Very good, thanks. 👌
You can travel the world and live in a part of it but you will never belong there, England will always be in your blood and eventually call you home, We have a belonging and England is our home where our ancestors lay and where we belong, We are lucky to have an identity and such a wonderful history,
Excellent presentation.
Spectacular
Wow. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
The almighty of his holiness with Britains and crownners.
Beautiful
This is amazing
...........myths never dies..........awesome pictures............
If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be in the Lake District, in the house called, “Little Green House” in the episode “Dumb Witness,” part of the series, “Agatha Christie’s Poirot.” If you haven’t watched it, you should, just for the gorgeous house, lake, and scenery! And, to clarify, the ‘dumb’ witness is a fox terrier (or “terror,” as David Suchet pronounces it!) who helps him (nonverbally) find the murderer! The second place I’d live is anywhere along the rocky North Shore of Lake Superior, in Minnesota. We’ve spent time there for several years, and it would be a dream to have a house right on the Lake! Oh, well....a girl can dream!!
Didn't like Agatha christe\Poirot
“[Sir Isaac Newton] was born at Woolsthorpe [Manor] in 1642, and later spent time living and working here in the late 1660s when his usual workplace, Cambridge University, was closed as a precaution against the plague.” The more things change, the more they stay the same, right??
If people had only known about the effects of previous “plagues,” maybe they wouldn’t have freaked out so badly over the COVID-19 lockdown. Or would they rather have had roughly one quarter of the world’s population die horrible and excruciating deaths (using the Black Death as an example)??
It's a curious situation that only 2 cathedrals, (Durham and Canterbury) are UNESCO heritage sites, when perhaps another dozen could be on the list. Presumably UNESCO wouldn't know where to stop if they started awarding the status to cathedrals in Europe. For tourists coming from Japan - where shrines and temples are liberally granted UNESCO status - Wells and Salisbury cathedrals probably impress more than Stonehenge.
wakefields cathedral is stunning.
If something becomes a World Heritage Site the government is directly responsible for it's upkeep. The government doesn't want to pay for the upkeep of every old thing in Britain regardless of how important it is, so they only do the big stuff.
This is ideal to listen to while working at my desk. I think some of our locations here in Ireland might give you a run for your money through
But there are not as many or varied
@@dinerouk Scotland beats England any day on natural beauty. England has its beauty spots but Scotland has more water in Loch Ness than in all the lakes of England combined, the highest mountains in the British isles, with Scotland having 286 mountains over 3,000ft and England having 4. we have over 23,000 lochs, 800 islands, ancient Caledonian pine forests, half the worlds population of freshwater oysters, the only arctic plateau in the British isles, 10x fewer people, the most majestic city in the UK, Edinburgh, thousands of castles, the most beautiful beaches in Europe, with one article placing Lewis and Harris as the most beautiful island in Europe and 3rd in the world and in another, putting a Scottish beach at 4th in the world. the highest waterfalls, only category ii IUCN protected areas in the UK. To mention a few. But the geographic and political differences between Scotland and England show how diverse this island is.
England has many stunning places, but the real last wilderness in these islands is in Scotland.
@@domhnalllockhart9501 defo think Scotland is is the most beautiful part of the country, defo in shear numbers at least!
@@domhnalllockhart9501 For mountains yes. However, England offers a variety of lands, rolling hills, white cliffs, lakes.. Vast numbers of castles, stately homes, cathedrals, gardens etc etc .. England is a magical country! 🏴🇬🇧
ENGLAND just beats SCOTLAND I think..
exelant tv thanks.
Beautiful scenery, and interesting commentary. The ads are far too many and disruptive. Not going to try to finish.
Get adblock. Just google it and no more ads on youtube.
nigel - yes, adblock is fantastic. I also recommend it.
phantomkate6 Yes, well I’ve since gotten Adblock, and it not only does not keep the ads away, but I can no longer skip them!!! Yes, its a fine product......
I'm getting ads but every 10-15 muns though..
I miss home :'(
This needs a title change to English treasures from the air!
Even though it features properties and sites in Wales and Northern Ireland?
My beautiful Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland
Scottish National Trust is a separate organisation, that's why.
Yeah almost is that lol
Paradise
First to comment this time again and to give a "LIKE" at the same time. YASSSSSS!
Ohh what a lucky place
Coming up next: Underground Flights! Next week: We go for a relaxing swim in space.
I love "A Walk...From Above" LOL! How about "A Journey ...From Above"?
I can’t believe what they want to do with the blue Stones at Stonehenge. It infuriates me. There must’ve been a reason at some time for that to have been a reason, right?
What blue stones?? I've never heard of them before and I'm ENGLISH???
Wow
If you suffer from Anxiety, tune into this video!!!
Anyone know the name of the castle at 0:47?
corfe castle
I believe that particular one is buttcrack Manor
Corfe castle I think, on the isle of purbeck in Dorset.
This is definitely Corfe Castle in Dorset.
This video is sponsored by...The National Trust.
This content is a beacon of change. A similar book I read opened new pathways in my thinking. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
Is this filmed with drones or helicopter?
beautiful places, I really love driving the roads at 200MPH with my Mclaren Senna!!
I doubt it....
@@davidhoward2487 This is a gaming joke, he's talking about Forza Horizon 4 xD
I beat that speed with my TURBO ELECTRIC SCOOTER getting up to 211MPH scary 💩 but fun..
I wish I still loved the UK.
Long story but this romance ended several years ago for me. I hear the names of so many places that I have visited and see the beauty here but feel nothing.
Life moves on.
awww it's never nice to get dumped but we've all been there
@@salus1231 my romance with the British' countyside. So, perhaps I'm the one who did the dumping 😌
@@nicolarollinson4381 so who are you cheating on the UK with :)
@@salus1231 I never said I'm cheating, I just said that I've fallen out of love with Britain.
@@nicolarollinson4381 ah you don't get the joke, ok well can we have the ring back :)
Your American right, none of my business i know
Love you Britian so beautiful greetings from Somaliland burco city
I’ve been awaiting time to watch this in piece so I can absorb the beauty we have in the UK and being narrated by an Englishman , so what do I hear when dimensions are spoken...kilometres and metres!!! 🤬 HELLO, WE’RE IN ENGLAND !!! miles, feet and inches please, 😡😡
My post was about measurements and an English man narrating said measurements...we are the uk and we have miles, feet, inches and acres..
Benjamin Shepherd I won’t budge an inch on this...mph, fluid oz, feet on the plimsolls lines on boats....we’ve lost basically to Europe and still will when we’re out..
Hakohito, both measurement systems.
For example drinks like coke and juice in litres,
and milk usually in pints.
@@More-Space-In-Ear Why not just give both units in the commentary?
@@davemartin5962 that’s fine, I don’t have a problem with that at all but, only a few posters do it..especially when talking in distance and height....
Bit misleading, Stonehenge is British Heritage, not National Trust.
Plus the fact that this film is at least 15 years old, the landscape is completely changed now, the road to the east is gone, as is the cheap car park. You have to visit the 'visitor centre' to get even a distant look, (no touching)!

When they say ENGLAND'S GREEN & PLEASANT LAND it really is??
whats the castle at 0:28?
Dunstanburgh Castle, it near Craster in Northumberland
whats that rugged beach at 1:02?
It’s in the south of Cornwall somewhere.. went there a few times and it’s beautiful.
@@b3n_grzcia210 thanks, that was enough of a tip to find it (Bedruthan Steps Beach)
Hi My Saudi Arabia.
my home
National trust sounds like they own all the good parts of England
They own it and make it accessible to members of the public which wouldn't have been the case before.
Well thank god they do because most of these buildings would of probably been demolished..
If stonehenge was originally owned by a private land owner, why does the crown own it now and only the land around it is owned by the trust???
Not sure as it's on Salisbury Plain, and is for training our Military, so maybe it's the MOD..(Ministry of Defence) still owns it......
To the E.U - you cant have this anymore - it belongs to its people.!
Pretty sure no one outside your island really cares
K L: Oh and how will they "appropriate it", by force?
Haha do not make me laugh!!!
HAHAHA you are beyond dumb, if you think the EU will go to war with us :D
Then why does the E.U want 40 BILLION of our money + people access.?
There are NO debts as nothing was bought + they owe the UK 500 billion of our handouts since 1972.
🏃♂️Perfect place to 💨
some of the commentary is a bit mad "some say its a dragon" stopped it at that point.
like♡♡♡
Who is the narrator? Sounds like a familiar voice.
Here because of Plex
Where is Tintagel?
Last I knew, it was in Cornwall.
We need a national trust for the eastern united states. While Theodore Roosevelt was able to preserve a large chunk of the western united states for the public, he was too late to do much for the east coast. Of course enciting a culture that is enthusiastic about giving to the trust is the hardest part, especially with the heirs of blue blood industrialists residing on the east coast.
For the moment there is some "BLM" public land on the east coast but not much. However that's leagues above Texas where there is none. That's right, want to hike around areas of Texas? You had better get a detailed map or someone might pepper you with rock salt for being on their ranch.
The prehistoric stonework of Britain is so interesting too bad we don't know more, then again; the possibilities are one reason they're so captivating. Oh well, locked up in the mysts of time with the druids, the picts, and endless others.
I thought AMERICA already had a type of English trust??
Everyone keeps saying “England” in the comments. It’s the UK! We are made up of four different countries. People need to stop saying just England, fry’s my head 🤣🤣
It's because most places included in this video ARE in England but yes you're right. Britain is made up of a few indigenous ethnic groups. It annoys me when people think Britain = England also. I'm English, not Welsh or Gaelic, so of course it annoys me to be compared to Gaels or Welshies lol.
Truth is no one "ownes" these places.
I was born there, csme to the USA when u was 26. I am still home sick
Peacocks , Birds, Deer, Rabbits, Quails and etc.
Add fields of horse, lamb, bison, turkey like oranges for free range so they can run and for people to see as they travel to preserve and for environmental like san Francisco golden gate park.
We dont get the same weather like california our summer is only about 2-4 months long and the hottest it gets is around 97-100
Just came here to comment the title: walk through from above? How the f*** does that work.
Go shopping in the cities
Gorgeous film about Northern Ireland, Wales & England but how could you talk for so long about the Lake District & not mention it´s founder Beatrix Potter?
You What !!!! She owned a farm there, and loved it, but didn't found, or even find it!
no Scotland?
Scotland?
👍🥳🤩🥰🤩😍😜😝😛
