24 HOURS IN THE COTSWOLDS | The Best Countryside Trip From London

[@pamelasmith2625]

Just loved your blog. You are a breath of fresh air. I left England when I was 19 to go to Canada for 1 year with a friend. We went on the Carinthia ship from Liverpool in September, 1965. I met my husband on the ship who was emigrating to Canada with his family. He was in the next cabin to me. We met on the first day and were inseparable for the rest of the voyage. We lost track of one another when we arrived in Toronto, but met up again when I was at the Immigration Office, and I was getting on the elevator and he as getting off it. We were married 5 months later. Anyway enough about me. When I was last visiting my family in England my brother took us to the Cotswolds. We had an amazing time. Such beautiful buildings and countryside. It wasnt quite so busy when we were there. I just love England. We made Canada our home many years ago, but I still wish we had gone back to England. Canada is a lovely place to live, but everywhere is so spread out, so you can’t just get in your car and visit a nice little village within an hours drive like you can in England. We do have nice villages here, but nothing compared to the history and nostalgia of the English villages. I just love all the little tea rooms and cafes you have where you can go for lunch or tea and scones. I’m not sure if I will ever make it back there now, as my health isn’t too good, but I have wonderful memories of my trips home , visiting many places in England. I will definitely keep watching you. Thank you for bringing back such nice memories for me.❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

thanks for sharing! so glad you liked it!

I know it's a year late, but thank you for sharing such an amazing love story. Hope you are both going strong.

You can take the girl out of England, but you can't take England out od the girl.

What's the carinhhia ??

[@pamelasmith2625]

@@SECRETORDER1336 The Carinthia was the ship I came to Canada on.

[@Milkedsplooge]

As an American tourist that wants to travel beyond London, this is perfect. Cotswolds looks amazing and looks exactly how I imagined countryside England to be.

[@chrispeters3466]

Love, LOVE, LOVE the Cotswolds. I also love how the U.K. really protects places like this through the Areas of Natural Beauty designation. We kept seeing things marked as "AONB" and we were like, 'what in the world does that mean?!?!' Once we found out, we fell even more in love with England!

[@terri4353]

We have mountain preserves in Arizona and of course all of our national parks in the US. just gorgeous.

[@notgadot]

England is my favourite country.

[@onlycheeseislife]

It's called Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas when it's the built environment. AONB and SSSI are landscape.

[@susancooper7314]

Hannah, you look great! So smart to rent your dress, because you will never wear the dress again. Have a fun time at the wedding.

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thanks for the shout out! 😍 Glad you enjoyed the Cotswolds!

[@HannahRicketts]

thanks for watching, love your channel!

[@snukme]

Great tour of the Cotswolds Hannah. Your stream of consciousness commentary is hilarious at times, informative mostly. Cotswold towns are lovely, a new bucket list item for me, thanks for taking the time to bring us with you.

[@HannahRicketts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sheilagibson982]

I lov listening to you.

[@tinarodriguez9120]

That dress was absolutely adorable and your makeup was flawless. I hope you ended up having a wonderful time at the wedding. Thank you for sharing.

[@willh13]

Your vlogs always make me feel better, not only taking me into your world and making me feel as if I've actually visited these places myself, but your habits and sensibilities remind me so much of myself, even though we have nothing in common on the surface. I love how you have dates, mates and family, but that you are comfortable and happy traveling and exploring on your own, on your own terms. I love that about you.

[@sheilagibson982]

Same here!

[@myscandinavianlife]

This vlog is a TONIC for me as an anglophile! What gorgeous scenery, those towns were so lovely! Thanks for making the video, greetings from a Danish subscriber. I also do videos myself, on life here in Scandinavia

[@oldrosehip7207]

Love the Cotswolds. Been there once a number of years ago. Want to go back some day. When I see all of the ancient buildings, I always dream about what life must have been like long ago. Really enjoy your vlogs, Hannah, thank you from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸

[@kristaselene]

Thank you for this tour! I have wanted to visit the Cotswolds for ages. I felt like I was right there. Incredibly charming part of the world!

[@lorenzothreadgill5935]

Thank you Hannah for taking me to the Cotswold with you it's a wonderful video you made .

[@hollydyer8992]

Everything is gorgeous there! I am so desperate to visit London and see the surrounding sights, the Cotswolds and Brighton area. I live in the States and I think over seas is so beautiful 😍 Thank you for showing your holiday! ♥️

[@JennyAmponsah]

You’ll love London, it’s amazing!!!!!

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

Dont go to London is an expensive tourist trap go to Cotswolds,Cornwall,Yorkshire and the Lake District..

[@lynnenicholls3312]

You look so beautiful and I have loved this vlog. I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 so this was heaven to me. The houses alone are amazing let alone all the shops and park lands and Didly Squat. Fantastic. I always look forward to your channel. The best for London and shops. Hope you enjoyed the wedding!!! And a big Thank You for all your effort.

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much Lynne

[@tiffanyarrington6848]

When I see old buildings or drive through old towns, I always think wow I bet those walls have some incredible stories to tell! Thanks for taking us along. It was beautiful and I hope you had a great rest of the weekend 😊

[@winter_s_44]

Hannah: “I look terrible” Reality: (Looks just as beautiful every single week) I was definitely born in the wrong place. Must find a way to live a quiet life in a quaint countryside. 😍

[@WW-mq9gh]

Beautiful dress Hannah, you looked stunning - hope the weather stayed dry 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@hankbug]

Hannah, now, in addition to visiting the Food Halls @ Harrods, I now want to add the Cotswolds to my bucket list. The best thing about going places by yourself is that you get to spend your time, in any place as you enjoy. I find, being a solo tourist, quite fun.

[@sadieround2766]

I live not to far from here .. such a beautiful place.💕

[@davinaweller6163]

I absolutely love the Cotswold it’s my dream place to live . The houses are so quaint and pretty, love look stunning Hannah xx

[@normalincoln8502]

Oh my word, so beautiful. Honestly, I believe the whole of England is stunning....Absolutely love it. 💞

[@deborahr9237]

You looked beautiful for the wedding. Great tour!! Charming and historic villages. Kept thinking about The Holiday...

[@HannahRicketts]

Love that film!

[@Babba08]

Thank you so much for this tour of the Cotswolds! I absolutely love the honey colored stone everywhere! What a gorgeous area of your country. This American hopes that one day she is able to see this for herself. But in the meantime, this will do. And of course you look gorgeous for the wedding!

[@kimnicholls2384]

Hi Hannah Oh thankyou for showing me how beautiful the Cotswolds are. Absolutely georgeous love all the shops. My husband likes Jeremy Clarkson also. I bough him the diddly squat book for his birthday. Would love to go to the farm shop also. Hope you enjoy the wedding Take care Love Kim x x

[@hildabrunski7400]

Hannah! The Cotswolds vlog was the BEST! We visited the 3 villages on a tour a few yrs ago and you gave us all the feels when we saw them again. Loved the extra side trip to Diddly Squat. Another enjoyable experience! By the way the dress wasn't mumsy at all, you looked fantastico

[@usattfan2836]

My husband and i just returned back to USA from the England 5 days and spent 3 days in the Cotswolds. You sound just like me the whole time, “lovely” was definitely used A-LOT! Believe it or not, we went over for the Take That This Life tour! That is awesome you did a little tour on your own! Love it!

[@SECRETORDER1336]

Are you serious you came over here for TAKE THAT?? Wow

[@maidacrazy21ryan93]

I would love to get out of London and live in a beautiful village but not quite as peaceful as I thought it would be it was crazy busy enjoy your friends wedding stay safe stay beautiful ❤️

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

As an Aussie I love dash cam footage because the UK is so different to here. I find it super refreshing that you love food and ice cream. All these unrealistic health nuts are so boring.

[@dougedwardsyachts]

The Cotswolds are lovely. I’ve got a childhood photo somewhere of me in two tone (brown) corduroy flares (70’s!) at the model village. I stayed at The Dial House on a weekend break from London around 20yrs ago and from memory it was pretty nice. I used to drive from Northampton to Gloucester each week and loved the drive across the Cotswolds through Chipping Norton. It’s become soooo popular and expensive now.

[@kimberly9129]

You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful and charming place. 💖

[@HannahRicketts]

oh wow that's so cool!

[@KH-nn6kh]

Unless next to each other, I likely don't notice the difference in camera quality. I more enjoying the conversation, humour and adventure! Thank you for the outing

[@donnadhanie9832]

Hi, thank you for these vlogs, I am from the Caribbean but I love England. I loved your Christmas vids and so glad to see the cotwolds..I always wanted to visit

Thanks Donna!

[@larisaschreiber3146]

Just beautiful and the cutest storybook houses! Makes me want to watch All Creatures Great and Small again🌷. Thanks for another great vlog, Hannah!!

[@carloschbn]

Beautiful vlog as always!!! Cotswolds, is an amazing place to visit and that old english architecture style is so cool. And what a lovely farm is that, I really liked everything you showed us! Wow Hannah, you were looking so much gorgeous for the wedding event, really a real princess! I hope you1ve had a great time on your trip and I wish you a wonderful day and weekend! Greetings from Brazil

[@dianewatier50]

Merci merci merci Hannah for taking us along to the Cotswold. Beautiful vlog & 45 minutes is never to long.

[@KRSmith-cj4oh]

This vlog of the Cotswolds is definitely one of my favourites of yours Hannah and I've saved it in my UK list to rewatch again and again. The villages were picture perfect and seemed a little fantastical for a rare English sunny day, ideal spring weather. BTW you looked gorgeous in that flowery/lacy dress! And it's a rental? My eyes popped out of my head! I wished we could rent wonderful dresses like that in Sydney. I just Googled it before I posted, apparently there are some places in Sydney that you can rent dresses. I'll have to look into it next time I have a formal occasion I have to attend.

[@sreed363]

I love your vlogs. The Cotswolds look so lovely. Someday I hope to visit the UK. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@erine.5680]

Whenever I think of England that's what I have in mind such a gorgeous country you live in thank you for your video Hannah!

Evening Hannah thank you so much for the tour of the Cotswolds and especially to Diddly squat farm shame we didn’t see Jeremy 🤭. Hope the couple getting married have a happy and healthy marriage. Have a great weekend see you next Friday xxxx

[@deliacrocker7282]

That looked like so much fun! The buildings and towns were lovely. And I loved the dress for the wedding.

[@wendyc967]

hannah... thank you lovely to see the cotswolds again after many years and appreciate the diddly squat visit i was curious to see the farm, the bacon butty looked fab

[@jj-if6it]

It's not boring at all it's a nice change from London! Didn't get a chance to visit the Cotswolds when I lived in England 10ish years ago. It's so pretty and quaint, quintessential England. Love seeing the historical buildings. It's top on my bucket list for next time!

[@carolinestow7165]

I ADORE this vlog! Please do more outside of London vlogs like this, visiting different farms etc. It's so nice for people like me to see as I live in South Africa 😁 also, you look so beautiful in your outfit 😘😘

[@neilgray7586]

I had many holidays in the cotswolds, it still has the wow factor after many years. Perhaps I need to visit again.

[@valeriekelly315]

[@sararosamond4975]

Thank you for sharing this, I haven’t been to Bourton on the Water for years I used to go to the model village with my parents as a child. This made me want to go back for a holiday in the Cotwolds it’s so beautiful.

[@canadafragrancereviewerdia9119]

I just found your channel and I am loving it. When I was a young girl around 19 I was visiting relatives in the Netherlands and made a friend there we booked a 4 day trip to London and it got cancelled the day we were to leave because my friend fell ill. So here I am at the age of 65 and never got a chance to visit England I live in Canada. But I am loving your videos. Your a beautiful young lady.
