    Great video. I like that it's all your own footage and that you narrate the video and don't rely on robo-voice software like some similarly-themed videos.

    I studied in Bradford and found it very pleasant. It struck me what excellent (gothic-revival) architecture practically all the cities have. I've been to Lancaster too - a very elegant city. Nice video, nice shots of the streets. Thanks.
    Just one point: at around 10:08 you say that Hull is "so unique". Something is unique or it is not, so you can't say "so unique" (How unique is unique?) or "most/more unique". It's a common mistake in YT, so don't worry about it too much.

    Interesting video! Durham was the biggest surprise to me. One reason that Hull property prices are cheap is that its affluent suburbs are outside the city boundary. This gets reflected in other statistics that are related to affluence too.

      That's the same with Bradford as well, although within Bradford Metropolitan District, parts of Bradford are extremely expensive such as Ilkley where the average price is £511,000 and it's a sizable place as well plus Burley in Wharfedale, Bingley and Menston ect.

    Carlisle's a great place to visit. close to the Lakes and the Scottish Borders, Hadrian's Wall too.
    However, floods seem to routine in parts of the city, so you may pay through the nose for insurance.

    The Sunderland - Newcastle rivalry actually predates the Jacobite rebellion by at least a century!
    Royalist forces from Newcastle met Scottish Covenanters based in Sunderland at the 1644 Battle of Boldon Hill.

    The best part of te country to move to is Durham

    Plus a stunnig city. Durham city bèautiful friendly and reasonably priced . Ive lived in London so i know how unfriendly and expensive it can be. Lucky for me i now live near Durham the best.

      @swifts6879 10 місяців тому

      Depends on which. Can't say I've heard especially great things about Hull, Stoke or Preston, but many of these other cities are either lively metropolises or quaint historic towns.

    • @ronhall9039
      @ronhall9039 9 місяців тому +2

      In a way, obviously it's supply and demand, but in the main cities are cheaper because employment is hard to come by. For example, my neck of the woods, Newcastle is an absolutely cracking place to live - if you have a job. Both of my sons have had to move south to get reasonable employment.
