Itd be nice if you visit Hull, it was voted a few years ago as the "capital of culture". Underrated place to go. It has a cool aquarium that goes under the sea called "The Deep". It is a city built on the fishing industry, so the Maritime museum is good to go and the Streetlife museum is must visit. An old timey street block "frozen in time"
Thanks for reply, love watching your visits around the country, have you been to Cornwall? Had so many childhood holidays down there , wonderful memories especially staying in Looe and Polperro. Think you'd enjoy it there. Glad you're having great experiences keep up the good work.
there are some magic places here in the uk the problem is 90% of us are hemmed into concrete depression jungles called towns and cities... country side is saved for the rich, the inbreds, the elites., the royals... the tourists.
I live in the UK and really enjoy watching your Channel , I learn something new every time I watch your videos. It's great to see the passion you have for our country and how much you seem to enjoy being here. You come across as a very genuine couple. Keep up the great work.
Another great vlog guys. Always love being educated on my own country by you guys. Perhaps im showing my ignorance. But im putting down to decrepitude 😁 Imho Mary Anning never got the recognition she rightly deserved. Lets face it the USA has some of the most amazing fossil fields on the planet . But Mary Anning started the whole idea of palentology and ancient pre bible creatures .
In the 50s ,as a boy, my parents took our family to stay near Lulworth Cove, in a caravan.I still have the beautiful image of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door in my mind. Such a beautiful 2 weeks of my life.
I spent most of my childhood holidays in Portland Dorset as my grandmother had a holiday house there. Portland has the most wonderful view over Chesil beach and is well worth a visit. Needless to say we spent many days on Weymouth beach and could see the White horse from there. Dorset is one of my favourite places. Many thanks for this video, great as always.
Finally getting some decent weather in the UK after weeks on rain. It makes a huge difference when you are travelling to different places like you guys. Makes everywhere look more appealing.
@@andywrong3247 We read all of our comments and try to respond to as many as we can at least the first couple days a video goes up, but we've had a lot going on the last few weeks, so we are struggling to keep up. Instagram messages or email is the best way to get in touch.
Hi guys, beware cows can be more dangerous than bulls especially when calf's & dogs are involved. Apart from knives crime death by being trampled by cows is on the rise recently Google it. Stay safe guys.
Lawrence Of Arabia's grave is near to Wareham, and the church attached to the graveyard, St Nicholas' Church in Moreton, was hit in WW2. The etched glass windows are stunning. I'd also recommend Corfe Castle and the steam train to Swanage. They have punch & judy shows on the beach there.
I'm a UK resident but originally from Washington DC. Parts of the very south of the UK are techically sub tropical, whilst the northern parts of it are classified as Taiga, which is the kind of biome you will find in Siberia and northern Canada.
In the same vein, if you're in the vicinity of sheep then keep your dog on a lead. There are incidents too numerous to mention of sheep being savaged by dogs allowed off the lead. Farmers are entitled to shoot a dog if they believe it to be worrying their sheep.
The Jurassic Coast is amazing! I live not far away from the Devon end of Jurassic Coast... sadly the cliffs here are eroding and there are often cliff collapses around Sidmouth. Even though I've lived down here for a large part of my life, I still really enjoy a boat trip from Exmouth to Sidmouth. It takes about 2 hour, but is well worth it.
This is among my favourite areas of England (as opposed to UK). Weymouth, Sherborne, and Lyme Regis are each great little towns. Three of my 12-yr old grandsons (🇨🇦) and my youngest son and his 17-yr old school roommates from Wells, walked the whole 130 km of the Jurassic Coast Path in four days last August and it didn't rain once!! I joined them for the final day's 32km at the western end.
Don't tell everyone about it! It's our secret. You need to visit early in the morning or early evening, to see Durdle Door at its best. British kids are tough. They do that walk and those vertiginous steps, very young, and the memory stays with them forever. My dad swam out to the rocks in Warbarrow Bay with me hitching a ride on his back. I was 5 years old and I couldn't swim. It was 1967 and MGM had recently filmed Far From The Madding Crowd (the Julie Christie, Terence Stamp and Alan Bates version). We spent half our holiday looking for the film locations. It was great.
Love how upbeat you are and positive on your adventures. I’m from Scotland and have also lived in the USA/California mostly … now living in Germany. Keep traveling 👍💕
Lyme Regis: The Cobb the harbour wall, featured in the 1981 film The French Lieutenant's Woman, based on the 1969 novel of the same name by John Fowles. Lyme Regis is the setting and filming location of a 2020 film Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet as Mary Anning alongside Saoirse Ronan and Fiona Shaw.
I love your enthusiasm guys. It's infectious. The last time I went to Lulworth Cove it was mid winter and we were almost the only one's there. If you travel further along the coast you will come to Lyme Regis. A beautiful traditional coastal town that has been used as backdrop for many movies. Most famously "the French Lieutenants Woman". Enjoy your travels. I look forward to your next vlog.😊😊
Back in 2018, Swanage was my first visit to Dorset. Since then I have been to Weymouth, Chesil Beach, Lyme Regis, Lulworth Cove, Bournemouth, & Isle of Portland. I hope to explore more of this beautiful county ❤️
I went on a school residential trip to Lyme Regis almost 30 years ago, learning about Mary Anning and fossil hunting was by far my favourite ever school project! Well done for climbing to Durdle Door, I did a beach day with some friends at Lulworth a few years back and 3 of our group decided to walk to Durdle Door - me and my friend Laura took one look at the hill and decided to wait in the pub!! (We had walked Branksome to Swanage the day before in our defence!)
I live in Exeter. Lots of Roman history and beautiful places like Topsham and Exmouth are 20 to 30 minutes drive away. Dartmouth is also beautiful about 45 minutes from Exeter.
We live around an hour from there and we are there whenever we get an opportunity. We always go to knoll beach which is the first car park you go past coming off the chain ferry, we like to sit at the beer garden at the banked arms and over look the water and then walk up to old Harry’s.
The She sells seashells on the seashore poem is about Mary Anniings. Dorset people are known as Dorset dumplings ( we have a dumpling) next door is Hampshire they are known as Hampshire hogs (wild pig/boar ) and people from Wiltshire are known as moon rakers ( supposedly the moon reflection looked like gold in the water and people tried to rake it up) The white horse was meant to be not liked by king George as they faced it going instead of coming towards Weymouth. Also dumbledore was taken by j k Rowling from Dorset old language it means bumble bee here and she believed it fitted the character. God almightys cow was ladybird/ladybug
You finally made it to my home county 🙂 you really have Just scratched the surface of Dorset . There are beach towns like Bournemouth and Poole, lots of rural areas like wareham , lulworth and wool (lovely little bakery in wool that does incredible apple cake , i should know because I make it😊) and so much other stuff. Ive got so many great memories from growing up around here . Chips by the river in Wareham , the Purbeck hill , the tank museum, walking around poole quay or Bournemouth beach on a summer evening.....damn im lucky to be a country boy
As someone born and raised in Dorset it's nice to see that you enjoyed your time here so much exploring the coast :D Some other great places to visit if you get the chance to come back again are Corfe Castle, The Tank Museum, Monkey World, Swanage, New Forest National Park and Brownsea Island :D
I'm sure the full name for those stacks is "Old Harry and his Wives" - after king Henry VIII (and all his many wives); over some 500 years one or 2 smaller ones have inevitably succumbed to the ravages of storms and waves and the elements generally. Millenia ago these chalk hills ran out to the east and joined those which form the spine of the Isle of Wight (note the surviving chalk "Needles" formation there which reach into the sea). Sea levels were once lower and the south Of England has also sunk partly due to the geological fault line that runs up the English Channel and the fact that the plate we sit on has tilted with Scotland rising and that due to the 2 mile thick ice which once covered it now gone and the sheer weight removed allowing the land to rise! Much the same with Scandinavia where sea levels appear to have fallen, it is that the land is rising quicker than the sea has.
Did you not go down the steps onto the beach at Durdle Dor? No I didn’t either. I waited at the top with my daughter and her partner whilst my wife and son did though. The fish and chips at Lulworth Cove are nice though.
how far we have come.. to need directions to get to see the footprints.. the dinosaurs didnt need directions.. i weep for our future those rocks are amazing.. a guy once found a rock and after a bit of chipping he found a massive statue inside that he called david.. amazing..joking thumbs up
"Old Harry" is no longer there - he was another stack which fell some years ago. The last one standing is his wife. They are the remnants of a chalk formation which used to join up with the Needles on the Isle of Wight.
Lardy cake is fantastic down there too - you'll pile the pounds on but what a great way to do it lol Did you not get to see the Cerne Abbas Giant? Tres risque' We lived down there for a few years and my Mrs was walking alongside me the she wasn't - that was when she believed me that the soles on her trainers was worn smooth
Aww yay. I live in Dorset. It’s so beautiful, i feel so lucky. Wish i’d spotted you guys, I love your videos. Next time you should visit Cerne Abbas to see the giant(!). Also “dumbledore” is actually an old Dorset word meaning bumblebee xx
Thanks to my parents and school trips, I got to see a lot of England as a child, but thanks to you two I’m getting to see even more which I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’m also getting ideas for whenever I’m back home showing my American friends around. ❤❤❤
Just the other side of Lulworth Cove there is a military firing range but it is open to the public usually at weekends. In that area there is a village called Tyneham which was evacuated in WW2 when the military took over and it is totally as it was in the early 1940's, well worth a visit
I was raised (and my parents still live there) in the Devon village of Beer, just 7 miles west of Lyme Regis. My kids love going to Lyme. We normally go to Charmouth to find ammonites.
The oldest white horse is in uffington, Oxfordshire, it's over 3000 years old, some believe that the white horse is a symbol of epona the horse goddess of the celts, and just above the white horse is where the iron age hill fort stood, and just below it is dragons hill, there are steps that take you to the flat top of dragon hill, some say the dragon was slayed and its blood stopped the grass growing, me personally, I think it was an ancient sacrificial alter, because they were high up and closer to the gods, plus they had found near to it human remains that had been sacrificed, and if you follow the path it will take you to weyland smithy, legend has it that if your horse needs shodding, leave your horse and some silver at weyland smithy, and when you come back the horses shoes have been done, also it is said that every 100 years, the white horse will rise up and make her way to weyland smithy to have her shoes done, then she will graze in the manger near the giant steps, and before sunrise she returns to her resting place for another hundred years. To much to write here, but white horse hill and weyland smithy is a very haunting and eerie place especially at night, many a grown man has left there spooked,,many ghost sightings and eerie voices. It is also next to the oldest road/footpaths in Britain, along the ridgeway.
3 years ago we were at the Uffington White Horse, sitting on the grass just to the left overlooking the valley, early evening. Now I love the WH but what made that trip memorable is that, of all things to turn up in the sky, a delta wing stealth bomber suddenly appeared. 3/4 thousand years of human endeavor caught together. It put things into perspective (not sure what things) but definitely something.
You really looked like you enjoyed yourselves. I went there 20 years ago and it looks so much busier. We borrowed a small rock hammer from a fossil collecter on the beach and managed to find a couple of good ones. Thanks for posting this video and I look forward to seeing your next one
The terms for Old Harry come from Bay and Headland Geography. The softer parts of the cliff (usually more cracked) erode faster than the surroundings. This leads to headlands (that stick out) and bays (that dip in). The headland will then cause diffraction of waves that curl round and hit the sides of the headland causing caves on both sides. Once the caves join up they form an arch. Eventually the sides of the arch expand to the point where the top falls in, leaving a stack. Eventually the stack gets eroded down to form a stump. Eventually the stump gets planes off at the level of the waves leaving the largest geographical feature (observable at low tide), the Wave-Cut Platform. This is how cliff recession progresses. Hope this helps 😁
The roads down there are really sketchy and scary. I got lost and missed a Turing and ended up going down some sort of track that the GPS was telling me, and let's put it this way my underwear was put in the bin
Ya Wombat! Next time that happens, slow down, remembering there's likely to be horses &c., rejoice in the grass growing down the middle of the lane, open your windows and breathe in the beautiful air and scenery.
Oh I loved this video! It really shows a lovely taste of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast with really interesting facts too. I went to Durdle Door last year for the first time to make a video for my South West England channel snd was in awe of it. The Jurassic Coast is totally awesome!
Loved the Master of Disguise reference at the end of the video!! Hey, if you are ever in London, Leicester Square, Prince Charles Theatre - go downstairs and add ‘MofD’ to the request board! We do it every time we visit but so far nada. Let’s make it the cult classic that it deserves to be!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Visit Corfe Castle, Bluepool, Wareham and Bournemouth!
we have so many gems in the UK, i do feel sorry that a lot of visitors dont leave london and find these places
I did and moved years ago 👍💫💫
As an English person watching you guys get so excited exploring the UK makes me appreciate the UK more

the UK or England ?

Whatever you do NEVER take your dog near cows with calves
A cow with a calf at foot is an INCREDIBLY dangerous animal!!

"This is the UK?" - pretty offensive thumbnail.
The statue is the woman whom the tongue twister "she sells seashells by the seashore" was about, due to the fossil shells she dug and sold.

Never ever go into a field of cows with a dog as you could well be attacked by them. People get killed every year doing this.
In the same vein, if you're in the vicinity of sheep then keep your dog on a lead. There are incidents too numerous to mention of sheep being savaged by dogs allowed off the lead. Farmers are entitled to shoot a dog if they believe it to be worrying their sheep.

I'm surprised you didn't show the beautiful Lulworth Cove, you were right next to it.
This is among my favourite areas of England (as opposed to UK). Weymouth, Sherborne, and Lyme Regis are each great little towns.

Did you visit Winspit Quarry? (near Swanage on Jurassic Coast) Doctor Who and some of the Star Wars series - Andor was filmed there.
I just wish Americans would stop referring to England as the UK.
Don't tell everyone about it!
It's our secret.
You need to visit early in the morning or early evening, to see Durdle Door at its best.
British kids are tough. They do that walk and those vertiginous steps, very young, and the memory stays with them forever.
My dad swam out to the rocks in Warbarrow Bay with me hitching a ride on his back. I was 5 years old and I couldn't swim.
It was 1967 and MGM had recently filmed Far From The Madding Crowd (the Julie Christie, Terence Stamp and Alan Bates version).
We spent half our holiday looking for the film locations. It was great.
It was a calm area to explore fifty years ago. Then some pillock started the Jurassic trend.

Dorset is a county of outstanding beauty..
Read some Hardy beforehand..
Have you seen The French Lieutenant’s Woman? Filmed in Lyme Regis; the author of the novel lived there.
If u get to cornwall...Kynance Cove - Uk Thailand!!
Two lovely fun loving americans.
how far we have come.. to need directions to get to see the footprints.. the dinosaurs didnt need directions.. i weep for our future
those rocks are amazing.. a guy once found a rock and after a bit of chipping he found a massive statue inside that he called david.. amazing..joking thumbs up
"Old Harry" is no longer there - he was another stack which fell some years ago. The last one standing is his wife. They are the remnants of a chalk formation which used to join up with the Needles on the Isle of Wight.
With regards to getting your dog on the flight to Europe... Was the dog able to travel in the cabin? How much does she weigh?
Lardy cake is fantastic down there too - you'll pile the pounds on but what a great way to do it lol
Did you not get to see the Cerne Abbas Giant? Tres risque'
We lived down there for a few years and my Mrs was walking alongside me the she wasn't - that was when she believed me that the soles on her trainers was worn smooth
Aww yay. I live in Dorset. It’s so beautiful, i feel so lucky. Wish i’d spotted you guys, I love your videos. Next time you should visit Cerne Abbas to see the giant(!). Also “dumbledore” is actually an old Dorset word meaning bumblebee xx
You were brave walking through a field of cows - especially with calves - with a dog!
That cow at 3:10 looks so fake! I literally thought it was somebody wearing a cow costume! 😂
Wow that coastal path was busy - would leave to do that early morning before it got to touristy!!
Thanks to my parents and school trips, I got to see a lot of England as a child, but thanks to you two I’m getting to see even more which I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’m also getting ideas for whenever I’m back home showing my American friends around. ❤❤❤
Next time your down south pop over to Devon & see Agatha Christie’s house
Just the other side of Lulworth Cove there is a military firing range but it is open to the public usually at weekends. In that area there is a village called Tyneham which was evacuated in WW2 when the military took over and it is totally as it was in the early 1940's, well worth a visit
Well worth a visit is the deserted village of Tynham, not far from lulworth cove.
I only live 1 hour and 30 minutes away, I just wish I could live next to it so I could go all the time
Spent hours in Poole. The second largest natural harbour in the world.
I was raised (and my parents still live there) in the Devon village of Beer, just 7 miles west of Lyme Regis. My kids love going to Lyme. We normally go to Charmouth to find ammonites.
Love your dog, she's always so happy!
Do you think it is easy to get around on public transport and see all the things you saw?
The oldest white horse is in uffington, Oxfordshire, it's over 3000 years old, some believe that the white horse is a symbol of epona the horse goddess of the celts, and just above the white horse is where the iron age hill fort stood, and just below it is dragons hill, there are steps that take you to the flat top of dragon hill, some say the dragon was slayed and its blood stopped the grass growing, me personally, I think it was an ancient sacrificial alter, because they were high up and closer to the gods, plus they had found near to it human remains that had been sacrificed,
and if you follow the path it will take you to weyland smithy, legend has it that if your horse needs shodding, leave your horse and some silver at weyland smithy, and when you come back the horses shoes have been done, also it is said that every 100 years, the white horse will rise up and make her way to weyland smithy to have her shoes done, then she will graze in the manger near the giant steps, and before sunrise she returns to her resting place for another hundred years.
To much to write here, but white horse hill and weyland smithy is a very haunting and eerie place especially at night, many a grown man has left there spooked,,many ghost sightings and eerie voices. It is also next to the oldest road/footpaths in Britain, along the ridgeway.
3 years ago we were at the Uffington White Horse, sitting on the grass just to the left overlooking the valley, early evening.
Now I love the WH but what made that trip memorable is that, of all things to turn up in the sky, a delta wing stealth bomber suddenly appeared.
3/4 thousand years of human endeavor caught together. It put things into perspective (not sure what things) but definitely something.
You were near to Windspit which some classic episodes of Dr Who were filmed,slate mines.
My favourite county in England. Glad you enjoyed. The Banks Arms in Studland is my favourite pub with views to die for
I live in Poole and I never want to live anywhere else
Enjoyed the video. Find some Wiltshire Lardy cake to try out whilst you are in the vicinity.
You need to visit Mudeford village 😊
Be careful cows and calves
You really looked like you enjoyed yourselves. I went there 20 years ago and it looks so much busier. We borrowed a small rock hammer from a fossil collecter on the beach and managed to find a couple of good ones. Thanks for posting this video and I look forward to seeing your next one
Visit Bodiam Castle its so picturesque
Golden cap is a good walk to the top and the views are awesome.i think its the highest point on the south coast but I may be wrong.
The terms for Old Harry come from Bay and Headland Geography. The softer parts of the cliff (usually more cracked) erode faster than the surroundings. This leads to headlands (that stick out) and bays (that dip in). The headland will then cause diffraction of waves that curl round and hit the sides of the headland causing caves on both sides. Once the caves join up they form an arch. Eventually the sides of the arch expand to the point where the top falls in, leaving a stack. Eventually the stack gets eroded down to form a stump. Eventually the stump gets planes off at the level of the waves leaving the largest geographical feature (observable at low tide), the Wave-Cut Platform. This is how cliff recession progresses. Hope this helps 😁
Yes, Britain is the name of an Island.
The roads down there are really sketchy and scary. I got lost and missed a Turing and ended up going down some sort of track that the GPS was telling me, and let's put it this way my underwear was put in the bin
Ya Wombat!
Next time that happens, slow down, remembering there's likely to be horses &c., rejoice in the grass growing down the middle of the lane, open your windows and breathe in the beautiful air and scenery.
Tears for fears song Shout was filmed on the beach. Great video glad you had a good time
Dumbledore LOL!
Or 'bumblebee' as much of the UK calls them. Ancient word is Dumbledore
So pretty!
The Dorset apple cake is the same as the Dutch cake , I think the last time I had that I had clotted cream with it
Love Dorset especially Chesil beach and Corfe castle
How far it is from York City
Dumbledor is an old English name for a bumble bee.
Really? How cool to know. Thank you!
The Tears for Fears music video for 'Shout' was filmed at Durdle Door. Not sure of any others but hope that was helpful.
Also Billy Ocean Loverboy and Cliff Richard Saviour's Day
Oh I loved this video! It really shows a lovely taste of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast with really interesting facts too. I went to Durdle Door last year for the first time to make a video for my South West England channel snd was in awe of it. The Jurassic Coast is totally awesome!
Loved the Master of Disguise reference at the end of the video!! Hey, if you are ever in London, Leicester Square, Prince Charles Theatre - go downstairs and add ‘MofD’ to the request board! We do it every time we visit but so far nada. Let’s make it the cult classic that it deserves to be!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
exmoor
Legit thought you were saying “Old Hairy Rocks”, and that we had a UNESCO world heritage site called “Old Hairy Rocks”
There is a job opening as TV presenter on This Morning. You would be the perfect TV couple to replace Holly and Phil!! :)
