A Day Trip To Lanercost Priory

We booked a timed ticket with English Heritage for a visit to Lanercost Priory.
"The beautiful and now tranquil setting of Augustinian Lanercost Priory belies an often troubled history. Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, it suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign. Yet there is still much to see in this best-preserved of Cumbrian monasteries. The east end of the noble 13th-century church survives to its full height, housing within its dramatic triple tier of arches some fine monuments."

As always a very interesting tour, what a cruel history, thank you all.

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Lovely Sunday evening video Bob and Jenny. It’s great that even with all the restrictions it’s possible to visit these beautiful places. Thanks for taking us along 😃🚐👍 Trev n Sue

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks Trev n Sue!

[@tinam7979]

Really enjoyed this , what an interesting place . So glad you do these vlogs as it’s showing places we could go to ( when we eventually get our van) Love to you all x thank you for sharing x

[@TravelTourTaste]

Hello my friend hope you are well and having a great start to the week. He is soooo cute. Hope you have a safe journey home, this place is beautiful thanks so much for sharing your experience with us really appreciate it, stay safe and take care my friends catch up soon God bless you all 🙏❤️👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you very much. Poppy is a girl Westie by the way!

[@teresatimms1358]

Thank you again, Bob, Jenny, Poppy and Tara.. this looked a beautiful place. The music choice was also excellent. Seeing the baby was very emotional, on film and I think it would be even more so if we visit . Looking forward to seeing which Tranquil parks you visit. We did The Old oaks, 10 years ago, and last year we did Daisy Bank. Must admit, the Adult only parks do appeal to us more, these days.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, looking forward to the Tranquil Parks tour.

[@belandsteve7458]

Excellent video and great to see a preview of what will be a local location for us when we move from Gloucestershire to Brampton in the very near future. Looks like that area has lots of interesting places to see 👍

[@eileenbell8965]

Tara can hardly hold herself back with excitement!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Pretty much lime that all the time. We haven't seen her for a while now.

[@kimmarshall9038]

Hi Bob and Jenny such a lovely video as normal love watching them and poppy and Tara. We are finally going away next weekend, going to Sir walter tyrell site in the new forest for 4 days really looking forward to it. Again love your videos poppy and Tara such sweeties.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Sounds great!

[@georgeclough1900]

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes it's not obvious on so called smart TVs. Thanks for watching and the thumbs up!

[@SueElliott1]

Lovely old Priory. Great vlog, thank you.

[@tomandjerry1941]

hi poppy jenny and bob been watching you for a bit now and you make me want to go out and buy a motorhome you make it look so good but its going to have to wait as we are hoping to move to a nicer place and we see what we got left over lol i look forward to your videos and i liked how honest you was with that jug and glass stand thing goes a long way honesty even when its a free bee keep up the good work you 3 xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you.

[@sheilapetermeier6969]

Really enjoyed this beautiful tour

[@swdman1234]

I live not too far from the Priory and nobody slows down. The first journey in the new Defender I did an unexpected emergency stop as an approaching tractor decided not to move over. The one benefit of being a a local is I get to be buried in the Priory cemetery! There are also holiday cottages attached to the Priory if you don't have a van. Lovely to see something so close to home though I would have gone through Brampton. I still don't fully trust Sat Nag,give me an old fashioned map as backup . Guy.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Lol. We'll let's hope your Defender looks after for sometime yet!

[@sylviabutler4809]

Just thought I would tell you that we both watch your videos at different times and on different large screen TV's in different rooms-mainly because he's a lark and I'm a night owl. Why am I telling you this, because we both enjoy them so much, that I then make the special effort to go into our office and find your video, hit the like button and write you a comment...why?...because if you put in all the time and effort to film, edit and load up, then I can at least show you our appreciation for a great job so well done! BTW Hi from BC Canada to you both and a rub behind the ears to Poppy :)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

That's really nice of you to say, thank you so much for that.

[@lindahiggins9295]

Always love your videos especially the journey there, Poppy and Tara looked so enthusiastic about there trip, hope you enjoyed your visit. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Great video and loads of interesting things to see in the abbey. So good they allow the dogs. Are you finding that you need to book all historic sites?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes, we have had to book most places, apart from open air sites like Hadrian's Wall.

[@barryelstone8431]

Hi Bob and Jenny and pooches. Cant believe that your looking at the tranquil sites,we have just had a ride out to Pickering and came across one of their sites, we called in and asked if we could have a walk around with a view to booking a pitch later in the year and they said yes just had to give our name and contact details. The site is stunning set in an old railway station which ran for around 120 years and closed in the 50s. Thornton le dale is stunning had a great sunday lunch in the village ( dog friendly) We will definitely be booking a stay.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes that sounds good.

[@andyjenno]

Just going to watch. We really enjoy your video's 👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks 👍

[@louisesmith4370]

Hi there ...what a weird world we find our selves in ..who ever would have thought that you'd have to wear a face mask to visit an abbey..but best to keep safe..really enjoying your videos as always xx🤩🤩

[@annemarsden2323]

Thanks for sharing 💗

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks for watching!

[@bloggs730]

Once again a great video. I would also like to say well done for supporting other sites. I did notice your work on live chat for Travel Trolls.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, we try and help each other.

[@richardspeight9520]

Nice vid as always, I love the big sat nag voice in the tiny UP, and the sweet tiny sat nag voice in Thor. Poppy seemed to be less inquisitive, was it a Tara effect? They both looked very happy ☺️

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes the voices are the wrong way round aren't they. Had really noticed any difference in the girls, but Tara definitely enjoyed herself!

[@jameshumble_gtuk6978]

Great video hope you have a great day

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Same to you

[@MyChannel-di2ho]

Living as I do in New Zealand for the last 11 years, I really miss the history of the Uka dn places like this. I hope this virus gets under control so I can return...

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Let's hope so, it feels it has been forever.

[@oldcarliol]

For the record guys, the road that you avoided is actually wider than the route that you came.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

OK, thanks.

[@adrianpipe3323]

What an interesting place, thanks for sharing. Locals clearly drive like lunatics in that area! Was the motorhome opposite you at that campsite the same? Looked similar with the black cab and size wise too, was on a 20 plate. OK I'll stop being a motorhome spotter now! Look forward to the next trip :)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It was a Bessacarr on a 2020 plate, so I guess late registered.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Hi Bob ,Jenny, Poppy and Tara :) never been there , it is very impresive. So sad to see the baby's tomb did it say who the baby was? The knight that was his tomb they were small people . Sometimes they have a shape space for his sword at the side of him i have seen open empty ones. Keep staying safe and enjoy your freedom best wishes.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Couldn't see who the baby tomb was.

[@Tom-852]

Hi Bob & Jenny, I’m sure it will be a great video as usual always very informative and interesting. Thanks for making brilliant content. What was your first Motorhome Bob? I don’t understand why people dislike videos if they don’t like it why do they watch! It doesn’t make sense.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks. Here's our Motorhome history up to the last Motorhome. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XCd594l6tshNE

[@Tom-852]

Bob Earnshaw I’ll watch now thanks

[@harryww8233]

Hi, great video. Edit: Do you really answer?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes if its a question.

[@HarryJ-xe2hf]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo Ok

[@darrenbarson3828]

Hi Bob. I am very new to motorhoming (I went to my first camp site at Castleton this weekend) and wanted to put my awning up on a hard standing pitch. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my pegs into the ground. Do you have any advice on what I need to do? Thanks Darren

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You need to look for rock pegs, or heavy duty pegs and a good lump hammer.

[@darrenbarson3828]

Bob Earnshaw thank you, that helps.

[@daveunbelievable6313]

they could do up the east end, nothing is made better by it being roofless

[@markmangan8586]

😊👍

[@sandyhossman7771]

Are you ok Bob , you seem short of breath?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I am fine for a 64 year old, the microphone tends to pick up my breathing very clearly.

[@sandyhossman7771]

Good, the retired nurse in me. Even though you walk a lot I was worried about you!

[@Tom-852]

Is Parking Free?👍

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

At the Priory (low arch!) yes, and at the tea room you need to register in the tea room. English Heritage members get free parking anyway.

[@Tom-852]

Bob Earnshaw That’s handy. How many miles do you normally do a year in the Motorhome?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

@@Tom-852 Bonus question? Normally about 8-9k..

[@Tom-852]

Bob Earnshaw I bet it won’t do that this year unfortunately😢

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Just over 3000 so far.
