American Couple Reacts: England: Best Places To Visit! First Time Reaction!

[@robmcd436]

The “German” buildings are in fact Tudor buildings and you will find thousands of these types of buildings in the U.K., especially England. They are wooden frame buildings generally built in the 15th and 16th centuries under the Tudor reign. The black is not paint but is traditionally black tar which helped preserve the wood. They are certainly more English than German! Do a search for the town of Lavenham in Suffolk this is a famous town know for its historic Tudor buildings. Harry Potter was filmed there. As for Stonehenge, yes, it’s as dull as ditchwater to look at, but to appreciate it you need to understand how old they are and the effort it took to build them. They are some of the oldest standing structures in existence in the world. Once you understand that then if you are close then they are worth a visit.

Really England the name stems from Englaland meaning Land of the Angles since their name spelt in a early form of German was Engle.

I took my South African wife to York a few years after we met. As we toured York Minster, the ancient walls and the narrow streets she repeatedly said 'gosh', my reply was 'wait until you see the Shambles', a very narrow street where the upper windows almost touch over your head. When we finally reached the Shambles, she was silent. Fearing she that didn't appreciate it I said 'what no gosh' her reply 'I'm all goshed out'!

I was up on the top floor of a shop, down the Shambles. It felt like if I tripped, I would fall out the window...as the room slanted that way. From the door of that room as I entered it, I could see the road down below. Amazing, how these shops/houses are still around.😃

You need to visit the Yorkshire moors and Cornwall both beautiful areas. It depends which beaches you visit whether they are sandy or not. A lot of beaches are sandy but places like Hastings near Brighton have a lot of pebbles. The weather changes quickly in Britain, you could be sitting on the beach sunbathing in 80 degs one day the next day its raining and cold and you need a coat . You may even get different weather on the same day.

[@gillianrimmer7733]

You can visit and stay in any National Park in the UK. Unlike the USA, which owns the land of its National Parks, here in the UK, a National Park is just an area considered to be of outstanding natural beauty - most of the land and buildings are privately owned. There are villages and towns within our National Parks. They are more like conservation areas, so development is strictly controlled and the government fund grants to landowners to preserve the landscapes. However, even though it is private land, the laws of public right of way across private lands means that you can walk wherever you want within reason. You can use the public footpaths around/across farmer's fields, or private estates and as long as you keep to the designated footpaths, then you are not trespassing . It's an ancient right

[@gillianrimmer7733]

Oh, and apart from possibly having to pay for parking, it's free. Having to pay to enter a National Park in the USA is something that shocked me when I visited.

Cornwall is another one to add to the list - beautiful beaches, villages, fishing communities, surfing and small independent shops.

One of my favourite things to do though is to stroll around the North Laine area with all its quirky shops, cafés, bars, pubs and restaurants. But the jewel in the crown has to be the Pavilion...a little piece of India on the south coast. 😊

The half-timbered style of building is widespread in mediaeval times and all countries have at least a few examples. Sometimes in clusters with overhanging gables and long traditions! Much imitated by later generations! Lake District became 'the country's FIRST tourist destination!' (thanks to Wordsworth). Stonehenge is 'just as advertised but you can watch a video instead! (It's a short stop, en route!) (This is the selection of a tour company who wants to do a 7 day bus tour in the South!) Mostly swimming is a rare activity in the few warm months July/August. Geology very variable, so beaches of ALL sorts! (sandy/rocky)

[@JenMaxon]

Yeah half-timbering is a traditional British style - we lost a lot of that style of building both in the second world war bombings and the 60s street clearances. All Manchester's (where I'm from) half timbered buildings went when I was a child in the 60s as the city centre modernised. Only two buildings were saved (and moved, as it happens) and are called the Shambles - but that word refers to a whole area of old buildings like that and Manchester used to be full of them. I guess it's a building style we had in common with elsewhere in Europe - you do see half timbered buildings here in Germany (where I currently live) though many of those were rebuilt after the second world war. Chester is a pretty town (yes, it's a city, I know).

[@bobbell4461]

The race track at the beginning is Chester and is the oldest in the world dating back to 1540 at least.

One thing I’ve noticed about my many travels in the US is that no one, apart from park staff, seems to live in the National Parks.

He has a woodturning business there but his workshop has to comply with the strict laws. Most of our National Parks are obviously rural areas so agriculture helps many of these places become so beautiful. Also in our parks you do not have to pay to enter. When I drive north to my brother in Bala I have to drive through the Brecon Beacons National Park, the A470 main South to North runs straight through it.

This peninsula between Swansea and Carmarthen is sparsely populated but has about a population of 77,000 and is about 70 square miles in area but with loads of world class beaches, all exceptionally clean and most Blue Flag awarded beaches, such as Rhossili, Three Cliffs, Caswell Bay and Langland.

None of the fells are too big or the Lakes too big lol compared to the US, and an awful lot of people probably live a couple of hours drive away or less, plus the resident population ....so it gets busy, 20 million visitors a year, probably less than 100k people actually live in the area of the National Park.

The majority of historic buildings in Britain are "listed", this means they are protected by law and any renovations / repairs have to have permission. I have lived in a listed house (1674) and anything needing done took ages while plans were approved and materials sourced as everything has to be like for like and as much of the original kept. I now live in a "Conservation area" within the Cairngorm National Park, not quite so strict but still requires care when doing alterations / building work. My present house dates from 1895.

Hi you two. Brighton is my home town, so clearly the best 😀. Just a quick correction of the video, although there's some Victorian architecture, Brighton is mostly Regency. Check out The Royal Pavilion. The cream fascia of buildings in Brighton & Hove is a material called bungeroosh which is pretty much exclusive to there. The Germaneque architecture in Chester you mentioned is actually Tudor which dates from the 16th century. I'd never thought of it before - because Tudor architecture is dotted all around England and very familiar, but you're right it does look a bit German or maybe more Austrian. Interesting.

Hey Ladies, Good to see my home city York in there. Great place to visit as it's relatively compact but has a bunch of amazing architecture packed into it as it was one of the main places for both vikings and romans! There are multiple museums, the old Roman bar walls that you can walk on that circle most of the city. The shops on stonegate that Natasha thought would be expensive aren't anymore although my first Saturday job was in a high class mens outfitters on this street selling to the rich and famous! Also worth mentioning is Betty's tea room that do a fantastic afternoon tea (they are part of the same group that makes Yorkshire Tea!). Natasha to answer your question I think you were going to ask...yes there are strict rules regarding grade buildings (those old ones that are designated of national importance!). In fact there was a case of a 17th century pub demolished in London by a developer without any permissions that lead to a court telling the developer to rebuild it brick by brick (as well as fines imposed). If you live in a grade 1 building (the highest protection) you need permission to update windows and they usually have to match previous ones!

If you think the Lake District is beautiful then be prepared to be completely blown away by the Scottish Highlands. Would I have picked these 10 as "the best'? Certainly a few of them but again any list is subjective. I hope you do get the chance to visit after the covid pandemic is finally over and we can resume some kind of normality.

[@johnbenson2919]

Yes people do live in the national parks, there are many towns and villages in them. It is a shame that the video only highlighted towns and cities and of course the Lakes but in my opinion they always overlook a lot of other beautiful places in England, you mentioned the Cotswolds, which are very pretty from where I live at the moment they are right on my doorstep but then there are the moors of the S.W. Exmoor, Dartmoor and Bodmin moor each with it's own distinct character not to mention the Dales, the Peak District, the Somerset Levels and many, many more. Also for my money there are better pre-historic sites than Stonehenge as well. However for me the most overlooked area in these isles is Wales.

Brighton is a gay friendly city on the Sussex coast. The beautiful seafront properties are mostly Regency (1810-1820), not Victorian, which is later.

Beaches vary right around England, from fine sand to small shingle right up to fairly large stones. As far as great places to go I'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find places without some historic interest. I would recommend the counties of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset/ The Cotswolds - especially the National Parks such as Bodmin, Dartmoor and Exmoor. The Peak and Lake Districts and North Yorkshire - especially around Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay are all stunning. London almost goes without saying, it's always changing, but there are huge parks to explore and areas of the city all have their own character. Although not technically part of the UK, you should also check out the island of Guernsey

There is so much more to England than the wonderful places mentioned here. In the South West you have Cornwall; with its sands beaches, Lands End, St. Michael’s Mount, Jamaica Inn, Bodmin Moor and the amazing restaurants of Penzance. In the North East you have the city of Durham with it’s Cathedral; the stunning city of Newcastle with it’s beautiful Georgian architecture and the tranquil Northumberland countryside. Check out Norwich and the surrounding Fenland (Boudicca country) or the Black Country in the West Midlands, the birth place of the industrial revolution. As for London, it would take about a month to see everything there, but it is very expensive compared to the rest of the country.

cant believe Canterbury city is not mentioned being a historical fact that Christianity in Britain is where st Augustine landed near by in (sandwich) in Kent and Christianity was here to stay , the inner city is steeped in thousands of years of history, and is one of the most visited places in the country by pilgrims from all over the world there is actually a footpath running from dover to Canterbury then on to London that still exists in places naturally its called pilgrims way , and you can treble that with ordinary tourists, the town centre and high street was bombed flat in WW2 but many places outside the centre remain to this day including Houses like you mention surrounding the cathedral itself the home of Christianity in the UK, Canterbury, along with dover, Broadstairs, Chatham, Folkestone, Rochester and London, are all places featured in Charles dickens writings and stories and all relatively close, you can understand as these places are familiar the world over and the cathedral tourist flock to Canterbury in their thousands all year round, Gravesend outside London is also another place and area where dickens based one of his novel and is also where the American princess Pochohontas is actually buried after she died on her return trip to America, the county of Kent is known as the garden of England and its calm beauty of the north downs and its historic buildings is missed by many tourist bodies, but its several thousand years of history is Fascinating to many people the world over

Sorry but I get really irritated when people say Augustine brought Christianity to Britain. Christianity is here ‘because……Romans’ in 43AD. Augustine landed in 597 the year St Columba died and he had been Abbott of Iona for 35 years. True King Aethelbert was not aChristian when he welcomed Augustine’s mission, but his wife was a Christian and worshipped at St Martins church just outside the city wall. The king donated land for both Canterbury Cathedral (597) and Rochester (604) but Bangor Cathedral already existed from 4 century. Rochester is often overlooked but is also a beautiful building.

Most of these videos concentrate on cities, judging by what you've said, I think you'd have more fun driving around in car going to villages and smaller towns. Yes, it's good to visit these bigger attractions, but there's often more charm in a random find on a mystery tour!!

[@grahamsmith9541]

I agree about Stonehenge. The view of it driving past is all you need. You can't even walk up to it and around the stones anymore. With beaches it is a mixture depends where you are. Some are sand others are pebbles, you can also get a mix of sand and pebbles. As it was in the video at a very very low tide you will find some sand. Between the sea and pebbles at Brighton. Normally if the cliffs are sandstone it will be a sandy beach, if the cliffs are Chalk it will be a pebble beach. Also at Brighton is the worlds oldest electric railway. Opened in 1883. Still running using historic carriages some dating back to 1892. At one time was extended to run through the sea to Rottingdean using overhead electricity supply.

[@susanbusby5779]

Beaches differ around the coast . Southern beaches are more gravelly. Chester looked German because I think it was christmas and it would have been the christmas market. Your reference to looking German ,Britain has strong links to Germany as our royal family are of German descent.

I love Brighton with it's history and so many places to eat. It's the LGBTQ capitol of the UK. It used to be called London By The Sea but with smiley people. Beatrix Potter wasn't mentioned for the Lake District. She purchased the Monk Coniston estate and Tarn Hows to conserve and protect them. If not for her it would have been horribly developed. The 2006 movie Miss Potter covers this. I'm with you both on Stonehenge as I've never been interested in visiting places like that. I've seen it from the road and that's enough for me. Bath and The Cotswolds are stunning. My Mother once worked in Bourton-on-the-Water in The Cotswolds. York is gorgeous especially The Shambles and it's not that expensive. For great London Guides and history - KZbinr Jules Guides There's plenty of sandy beaches in England. Two of my favourites are Lyme Regis and Studland Naturist Beach near Bournemouth.

Beaches around the UK vary, some are sandy, some are rocky, some are composed of pebbles, there are yellow beaches, grey beaches, red beaches, thanks to the huge variety of geological formations across the country. Stonehenge may be a jumble of stones, but they pre date the pyramids and represent a historical marvel that we know little about. Their fascination isn't just visual. You really ought to check out my neck of the woods in Devon. Dartmoor is iconic and starkly beautiful, yet few people know of it or have visited.

[@chrisshelley3027]

Hi to the both of you, the video didn't surprise me in so far as it was very southern centric. Natasha your comments about Stonehenge were right on the money, I have had many people who have booked a hotel in London and then the next day gone on a trip to Stonehenge and be back in London within a few hours, it is impressive what they did to build a circle of rocks 5000 years ago, but it's only really interesting if you study rocks and/or geology, it's not a place I would visit by choice, I'm not that fussed by London either, because it has been the capital for so long much of what made it the capital has been knocked down and replaced, there is very little of anything over 500 years old, have a day around London because you will recognise places because they always get shown in videos like this one, but for real history Bath and York are much better, less expensive and York much is free, you can walk around without much in the way of crowds, and there is a lot to see, don't wear heels though, I would recommend boots or sturdy flat shoes, take a bus tour to see what there is and then go and walk around to see those things properly, the city is surrounded by the old castle walls which you can walk on all the way around and they are free, London will cost you a fortune for everything, only visit because you will recognise places, also in London you need an Oyster Card to travel on buses, trains and trams, the card is £5 plus the extra for travelling, so a minimum of £20 and most probably £50 because you don't want to run out of credit, that would cost you extra if it happened, (just Googled oyster card out of credit, the last update is 3 years ago and doesn't give the cost if out of credit on the train/tube, only for bus and tram, its only £1.50 but you must top up immediately, most newsagents and tube stations will do this. The lake district is stunning and you will love it, you will fall in love with it too. Quick question, how many lakes are there in the Lake District? No cheating ladies. The biggest lake is Windermere and there are boats that you can go on to the other end and back, it's around 4 miles each way and well worth it, I haven't been to every lake but Windermere has plenty of shops, hotels, pubs and houses at one end, oh and fish and chip shops too, so no problems getting something to eat and drink as well as gifts etc as little reminders, Stan Laurel was born at Ulverston which is quite close by. Beaches, good question, they do depend on what the geology is like in the area, in Sussex it was all pebbles, but for a small country there is a good mixture without travelling too far and yes it is often cooler near water, but it can also amplify the heat too and the sand gets hot enough to burn, so something for your feet is a good idea, if you go to York and fancy going to the coast, I recommend Whitby, it's where the story of Dracula originates with the ruins of the monastery overlooking the sea (looks very spooky), also a little bit down the coast is Robin Hoods Bay a tiny town with a nice sandy beach, you have to walk to the beach as its too steep to drive, but its not far, and a pub just off the beach that has home cooked meals, I've rambled on too long, I'll let you be, take care and feel free to ask any questions. Chris :)
