Americans React to Ten Best Places to Visit in England!

[@philroue]

They left out all of Northumberland, which is definitely underrated. And there is all of Yorkshire, not just York, with its dramatic coastline, dales, and moors.

[@wendykelly8551]

And the beaches stunning the coast line beautiful...... like golden sands Mablethorpe beach.. never there..

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

Yes. But shhh. That’s my best place and I don’t want to happen to Northumberland, that’s happened to the other place I love which is Norfolk. That used to be a Secret. Ruined now. Would be awful if the Northumbrian coast was commercialised. The weather will prevent that 😅.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

The whole of Yorkshire is a dud, all you have is drug dealers and prostitutes. Hardly a great endorsement.

[@malcolmhouston7932]

Left out , apart from York, the biggest county in England. An American tour. I was once resting in a Lay Bye at Bowness when a Tour bus full of Americans pulled in. The American Guide announced a 5 Minute stop to" take snaps". He then announced " OK, back on the Coach folks, that's "The Lakes" now onto Edinburg" ( MIs- pronouncing Edinburgh ) I think the tour must have been " How to see the UK in a day. or Europe in a Week".

[@threestepssideways1202]

They had to pick 10 places, and it's subjective, of course 1000's of actually amazing places are going to miss out given that restriction, there is so much to see. Don't stress it, I'm not.

[@shirleyswaine4701]

A Brit here and my take on those 10 places would be forget Brighton, it's just a seaside town, substitute Northumberland north of Newcastle, lots of castles (one was used in the Harry Potter movies - Alnwick I think), then there's the iconic Bamburgh castle, used in loads of movies, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne only accessible at low tide, and the Farne Islands. Lots of stunning, empty beaches (it tends to be cold!) I'd say Oxford OR Cambridge, not both. I live about 2 miles from the beach shown at 9.16 Burton Bradstock i.e. on the Jurassic Coast, which is a World Heritage Site and the place to visit there would be Lyme Regis and Charmouth, lovely beaches and you can go fossil hunting. I'd also recommend Dartmoor or Exmoor as I don't think you have moorland in the USA. Exmoor also has some very dramatic coastline. You could check out some of these places, at street level, on Google Earth.

[@anitawhite2669]

I would give Brighton a miss and also Stonehenge. I live just over 20 mins away from the stones and it's just a pile of rocks and expensive to get in to view them. You get a better view from driving past them. Cornwall would have been on my list.

[@shirleyswaine4701]

[@leehallam9365]

Machu Picchu is a wonderful site, but just for context it isn't all that old. The buildings still in use in Oxford, Cambridge Chester etc, are actually older. It's 500-600 years old, Stonehenge was already 4500 years old when it was built.

[@TheJthom9]

It was not even historically significant. It was barely in use both in regularity or duration. A gimmick vanity project, but scenically visitable

[@mikeokeeffe4692]

I was under the impression that the origin of those places was older and that the subsequent culture of central America that lived there in more recent history state that they found the foundations and all the large masonry - and built on top. I'm no scholar so I just wanted to ask.

[@Buddingrose]

The street in York you’re thinking of is called “The Shambles” when you go back try visit North Wales….Look into “Port Merrion” and the 60s TV show The Prisoner which was all filmed there. It like a hidden village in a European style architecture. Wales is so stunning. I’ve been going there every year on holiday since I was a kid. Beautiful coastlines. Also Clovelly and Gold Hill in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.

I can’t believe you were in Bath and didn’t go into the actual Roman Baths. The cost of 4 pints!!! It so worth the cost. An personal audio presentation from around the exterior, brings the whole place to life. The whole self tour takes about an hour and is so interesting. It’s one of those places that looks boring, but it most definitely isn’t. What a missed opportunity.

As someone who is from and lives in oxford, Just to clarify She's says campus for oxford and Cambridge Which is not the case, the university is just integrated into the cities. oxford has another university in headington called Brookes which has a campus. Also oxford is also an industrious city not just known for the university, it's also known for it's car making,with over 100 years of building cars, the famous mini Cooper is built in oxford.

[@stephensmith4480]

A friend of mine from Liverpool worked at Cowley for years.

[@rjjcms1]

Been to Oxford and Cambridge several times each. Brought a friend and two young ladies,one Swedish the other Dutch,to Cambridge for a day trip in 1990 that turned into a weekend (we ended up camping all together in a tent on the edge of a farmer's field at Comberton),and the latter pair fell in love with the University part of it at first sight. For a long time the University in Oxford was more separated from the rest of the town by a fearsome set of ring roads that kept the five big housing estates (of which Headington is the middle ranking one I know best from away games at Oxford United's old Manor Ground,and the second-worst was Barton and the very worst the infamous Blackbird Leys that was the site of rioting in the early 90s) out on the periphery and stoking a "town versus gown" resentment. One thing I've always wanted to do when in Cambridge but haven't yet is take a punt on the Cam,as at 5:25; another thing on my have-it-see it-at-least-once list in Oxford,having seen a news article about it as long ago as 1986,is the Headington Shark!

In mediæval times, kings used to give each other lions tigers bears and other exotic beasts. The Tower of London housed the animals prisoners soldiers and crown jewels. They didn't guard it at night; they just let the animals roam free. Eventually they moved the animals out to Regent's Park, and that became London Zoo.

We have had so many cliff collapses recently, especially at West Bay on the Jurassic Coast. If and when you do go, do not walk under those cliffs and really don't picnic at the foot. Families still do it, though there are signs advising against it. Same goes for the cliff tops too. Those are really unstable cliffs. They didn't get the rocks up there at Machu Picchu, they were there already. The builders just used the top of the mountain to build with.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

The West Cliff cliffs collapse constantly in Bournemouth, exactly why people should stay far from them. Several idiots have been killed because they stand on the cliffs of The Jurassic Coast.

in 2003, the west pier in Brighton was burned down after an arson attack. what you saw was just the skeleton.. I've visited all but Cambridge & Lake District (Cardiff, South Wales here...) You seem to be showing your pals your "home movies" of your trips 🙂 'cester' or 'chester' in a city name means it was a roman fort. Also 'caer' (or 'gaer') in welsh names. so near my hometown of Newport, we had Caerleon & Caerwent.

Chester has its own Roman walls, which is the most complete in the UK and surrounds the city. It has the remains of the biggest Roman Amphitheatre found in the UK and it has the oldest race course still in use today. If you ever get to the UK again, make sure a day at the races is on your itinerary. Chester also has one of the best Zoo's in Europe and is a great day out for any age. I could go on and on but best for anyone interested to look up our beautiful city Chester. Its only a stone throw from Liverpool, Manchester or Wrexham.

The video was quite good but dont forget to visit Durham City and its cathedral. Also rural English villages are packed with very ancient churches often with amazing stories to discover. There is some awesome mountain scenery in the Lake District, not shown on the video. Visit the Yorkshire Dale's with its stunning villages and hill scenery. Also The North Yorkshire Moors including Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby. The latter is superb for ancient buildings, Jurasic fossils and the best fish n chips in the universe. Ask for scraps to be sprinkled over the latter. The coastal footage was partly The Jurrassic Coast but a lot of it was chalk and of Cretaceous age and not The Jurassic Coast. English pubs are famous of course. In London many unspoilt Victorian pubs. Unfortunately many pubs in England have closed for economic reasons or have turned into American style diners (heartbreaking stuff). Pubs have altered for the worse in many places and nothing like when i was young. Don't forget to visit Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland while here in The UK. Each country making up the union has its own character. The UK is awesome for tourism but be prepared for very changeable weather !!!!

I’ve visited Stonehenge many moons ago when I was around 15 years old, now I’m 52. I remember back than you could walk up to the stones and touch them, whereas now I think they’re are ropes surrounding the ancient monument to keep tourists from getting to close because of the risk of damage to the ancient stones. Stonehenge may lay on mostly flat plains but when it was built, the rocks were transported 180 miles - dragged on wooden sleds by teams of strong men, according to scientists. I’m fascinated by places like this, especially during summer solstice when gatherers gather during daylight and moonlight, round the stones and pay homage to the druids who use to gather round the ancient stones before. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔✨

[@billyhills9933]

In the section on Brighton, those remains shown are what was the West Pier. It was at the less popular end of the seafront, closed down and then burned down... twice! The remnants have been left there because birds like to perch and nest there. Also the pictures shown were from different years. The big wheel was removed when they put up the i360 - a donut-shaped viewing platform that goes up a pole... and then comes down. It's not popular with Brighton residents as the council agreed to back it financially and keep having to bail it out because it doesn't make enough money.

With advanced technology and recorded history, they know for certain that the stones were moved there about 5,000 years ago now.

If you like the golden stone of Bath and Oxford and the greenery of the countryside, take a look at the Cotswolds in central England. Beautiful views and ancient stone villages.

There were so many inaccuracies in that video it was almost funny. Dates, names, places, things pictured that are nowhere near the named sites. Chester is nice, but Durham is wonderful. I could go on and on...

[@scousemouse9715]

Been to York a few times. The Shambles is so olde worldly and magical, you'd expect a goblin to appear.

I'm on the Jurassic Coast, in Exmouth (Number 6).

The UK has nine breeds of horses and ponies, some are very ancient: including the very famous heavy horses, so famous for the Budweiser adverts, the Clydesdale, the Shire, Welsh mountain pony, New Forest, Shetland pony, Highland, Fell and Dale ponies and the Connemara.

You're right Joel, Stonehenge is difficult to get to without a car. I would make a day of it, by visiting Silbury Hill, Durrington Walls, and the Avebury stone circle too.

[@Dreamskater100]

I went on a couch trip/tour there and it parks up so you can walk up to it. So it is possible with coach trips.

[@jamesolive6475]

I loved Avebury and thought it superior to Stonehenge.

[@101steel4]

Went there on a school trip many moons ago. Back when you could go into the circle.

[@trevorjackson4157]

@@101steel4 yes, I did that too.

[@Dreamskater100]

The ‘ruins’ in Brighton were a 2nd pier that burned down

[@Morgana0x]

The houses are that close together because they were built hundreds of years ago.

fun fact about england, in primary school we have something called tudor day, it’s where we go to these places we have to dress and live as tudors for the day and it’s a big shock, you learn so much about our history, i remember learning about the foods and we had to wash clothes like they did and work for money like they did and at the end we can buy ourselves souvenirs with the money you earned, i wish they did this for tourists bcuz it’s so informative and i remember having fun!

[@Devonshirejackdaw]

England has alot of of old structures like oil rigs and water towers and so much more than just castles that go back to the 11th century plus there are over 3,000 castles. I've also been to the Jurassic coast in Lyme Regis and oh my goodness the beaches are covered in ammonites ❤

Salisbury, Stonehenge is my neck of the woods! 👐🫶👐 Solstice Nights at the Henge are an experience! Salisbury is a beautiful and quaint Cathedral City! The Cathedral holds the Magna Carta, (Jay. Z kicked off his Magna Carta Album launch at our cathedral... that was fun! Traffic wasn't 😝) and the world's oldest working clock! Most remember Salisbury, unfortunately, for the Russian spy Novichok poisonings. Very scary time, as we have 5 rivers that run through Wiltshire... miraculously no rivers were contaminated with Novichok! Chester is our home from home too, my mum's twin, and my fave Auntie, Cousins and extended family live there. 🇬🇧🫶🇬🇧

As a horse owner of many years, I can tell you the thoroughbred horse was developed here from Arab horses. Horse racing began here with the thoroughbred. Check it out.

[@viviennerose6858]

When you visited Tower Bridge were you there to see them raising the bridge to allow ships to pass through? Very interesting experience. Obviously all traffic, and pedestrians, have to stop and wait until the bridge closes again. Also, at Greenwich there is a tunnel that allows you to walk under the Thames!!

[@mauricejamblin9795]

brighton had two piers and you can see what is left of the other pier after it got burnt down

[@TheSuperlambanana]

Can really see how much you enjoyed your visit here it’s really lovely - I’m glad Chester and the lakes made the cut for the north west 🎉😂

[@whitecompany18]

That rock arch on the beach is in a 'tears for fears' music video (SHOUT) 👍

[@julietravis9775]

The Main Street in York is called Shambles and there are alleyways called Snickelways that run between the streets.

[@claregale9011]

If you do come back to the u.k canterbury is a great historic place to visit , the cathedral there is stunning 😊.

[@uppyraptor49]

Lincoln cathedral was the tallest building in the world for 320 years, before that it was the pyramids! Well worth a visit +the ancient castle next to it.

[@nowiplay2]

You 3 seem like good friends, and good minded individuals. It’s really nice to see.

[@carlyrussell3386]

I would definitely visit a Cornish town. You can’t beat Cornwall it’s beautiful on the coast. Polperro or mevagissey. It’s just beautiful.

[@robmcgregor7353]

Hey guys thanks for showcasing our beautiful country , be sure and give us a visit , you'll all be very welcome 👍

[@jacklomas7773]

Don't forget you were pissed at Bath and missed things,see them next time.Enjoying this video..

[@paulguise698]

Hello Joel and pals. Welcome back to Yorkshire at no. 2. I tried to go to St Andrew's in Scotland, their top university, but did not get in. I was in bed with flu for three weeks before my exams. Luckily the course tutor at another university, where I applied for a course with a year in US, remembered me because he saw me alone, after I had been ill. He said I could go to that university, but not to US as I missed the grades needed. Talking of meeting people on campus, the first person I met was Alok Sharma, who became a government minister, as I commented before. He invited me to see him at Parliament when he became an MP, but I could not go due to other commitments.
