Beautiful Day in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 | Nature's Hidden Gem (UK Vlog)

[@abofrey]

The concrete building is what's commonly called a "pill box". They're relics of the second world war, built as a defence against invasion. Lots of them still survive on the East coast.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for the info. We were wondering what it was. That does make a lot of sense. Cheers, Chris

[@tonywright140]

Another great post guys loved Jesse's reaction to the seals

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was so happy! Thank you for spending your time with us. We appreciate you 🤍 Jess x

[@thewealduk9802]

Very brave east coast in winter, brrrhhh. Love seals thank you.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was cold but such a lovely experience! Thank you for sharing your time with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Those seals have the right idea, relax on the beach all day

[@DaydreamersBarn]

💯 other than it being cold. 😉 🤍 Jess x

[@gmdhargreaves]

No joke guys the interaction between those sea lions and their loved ones was so humbling for sure

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Right, I was so happy! Thank you for sharing your time with us 🤍 Jess x

[@peckelhaze6934]

The east coast can be bitterly cold in winter. It is nice you got to see the seal population. It is great they can be seen without disturbing them. I don't think they have any predators where they are. Possibly the occasional Orca.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was a cold day but so worth it. Love to see wildlife. Love knowing they're living their best lives here in the UK. It was fun to share all the facts with you all. 🤍 Jess x

[@annielee3844]

Beautiful day for you at Horsey. We visit the seal pups at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire where over 2000 pups are born and are virtually in touching distance. It is also an RAF bombing range.....but not during seal pup time.

[@margaretpattison7533]

Donna nook been a few times I think it’s a much better experience the pups are literally about 2 feet away from you just over the fence, I have taken lots of photos of the pups…

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds like another great place to check them out. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@Gill3D]

You can see the grey seals and their pups at a number of spots along the east coast at this time of year. Horsey Gap seems to be the best place to visit, though. Those memories will stay with you until the end of your days. Did you know about the RAF bombing range at Donna Nook which ceases its activities at this time of year to allow the pup birthings?

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for sharing with us about RAF Range. Horsey Gap is wonderful, and all of the volunteers are so helpful. 🤍 Jess x

[@les9920]

Cley beach is also a good seal spotting place. Park up and head left along the beach for about a mile and the sals are everywhere. They come up to pup and three can be literally 1000s. We got so close you have to walk around them. Huge things close up especially the bulls.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Wow, thank you for the recommendation! Love the seals living their best lives here in the UK. 🤍 Jess x

[@lesbrewster2375]

It was a pity we had some high tides this week and forced the seals further down the coast, there is normally hundreds along that piece of beach but still a great sight though, it’s surprising how quick the bull seals move considering their size. Poppylands is a little gem in the middle of nowhere, it pays to book in advance during the summer months we often pop over when the grandkids visit.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We love seeing them and Poppyland! Both places are such lovely gems. Thank you for coming along with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@davidflack6430]

Love Poppylands. The seals were by Winterton beach car park later in the week. For somewhere else great to eat check out The Swan at Ingham - reasonable prices if you have the Menu du Jour.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We love Poppyland and Horsey Gap. We will have to try and check out The Swan. Thank you for the recommendation. 🤍 Jess x

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

Another brilliant day out, you & Chris sure do pick the weather. This is another gem I was unaware of, it's really great that you guys show me parts of my Country I've not seen myself. Great post. 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was cold but oh, so wonderful! Thank you for coming along with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@Dean-gq5pe]

Looks absolutely beautiful. The weather looks fantastic, the wildlife adorable and tea, soup bangers and mash, looks delicious. Thank you.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was a great day indeed. Cheers, Chris

[@johnbarber689]

Been there a few times and love seeing seals free and in there own habitat It feels very spiritual ❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It is great seeing it in the natural setting for sure. Cheers, Chris

[@windsorSJ]

The concrete building was a pillbox left over from WW2, it's a defensive position in case of invasion. I live in Merseyside and they are everywhere here. No doubt because of the docks.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for sharing with us, friend! Hope you are enjoying seeing them. 🤍 Jess x

[@joemorris5288]

When we went there the tide was out and there was hundreds just basking in the sun, lovely to see,

[@DaydreamersBarn]

How lovely. I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing the seals! 🤍 Jess x

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

A place I think you would like is Knaresborough, its a beautiful place that is famous for Mother Shiptons Cave, which has a waterfall that turns things to stone 😱. Legend says of a witch that lived there. Theres a gift shop there that sells the petrified items that the waterfall turned to stone

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have put it on the list. Thanks for the recommendation, sounds like a good one. Cheers, Chris

[@archiebald4717]

You consistently upload the most beautiful and interesting videos and thank you for that. The small structure is a 'pillbox', constructed during WWII as part of the defences, in case of a German invasion. It must have been rather chilly out there, those easterly winds can be bitterly cold. Great Britain, a rather crowded island, is fortunate to have a wide range of wildlife, that is willing to live alongside us. Some lovely people are reintroducing species which became extinct in previous centuries, such as Osprey, Bustard and Beavers. Take care!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad that you are enjoying the videos. The "pillbox" is something that I can only image was not as comfortable as we would come to expect today. Although, it is something that was needed then. We love checking out the different types of wildlife, and livestock for that matter. Cheers, Chris

[@paulinejackson8105]

This video was awesome, loved watching the grey seals .

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you, we're so glad you enjoyed the time with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@JohnResalb]

Yes, I've noticed that you guys are one of the best respondents in the UTube world. The platform should give prizes for such reliability. Now, let's see what tricks you get up to at the beach.!!!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, it's something we try our best to show our appreciation and love for you all. We are so happy you have noticed. 🤍 Jess x

[@willswomble7274]

Delightful and fascinating breezy Autumn walk!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for coming along! 🤍 Jess x

[@captaintorch983]

What a fantastic day out today. A lovely walk along the coast in bright sunshine, and then the seals. Amazing! I'd never heard of Horsey Gap, but it's a real gem. Thank you so much for taking us along. x

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad we could share it with you. It was a great time for us as well. Cheers, Chris

[@rebeccat94]

There's a place in Lincolnshire (can't remember the name) that I visited when I was a child - there were literally hundreds of seals, and the public could get within a couple of metres of them. I learnt something in this vlog, I didn't know that we catered for 40% of the worlds' seal pop. - that's probably because of a lack of predators.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, I'm so glad you learned some interesting. I loved sharing fun facts about the sea seals. It's always so fun sharing with you. 🤍 Jess x

[@ewanvannett9989]

there are also big numbers of seals in north norfolk at blakeney point i think you can go on boat trips to see them

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for sharing with us, friend. 🤍 Jess x

[@ewanvannett9989]

@@DaydreamersBarn today my dad is 94 years young

[@tracieoliver2307]

Brilliant and such an eye opener! The seals are so sweet and happy in their world ! East Anglia was a huge Military area during the second world war and there was many and I mean many American Airfields in and around the area so you can still see the remains of a lot of them today! Thanks for sharing Jess and Chris x

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have seen a few so far and plan on seeing a few more before we leave. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@karennelson633]

Visited in October 2022 from the car park there was a path to take down to the beach so you were much closer to the seals.There was quite a lot of seals that day including young ones,it was a great experience seeing them in their natural environment ❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds like you were able to have a great memory there too. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@karennelson633]

Sure did Chris got some great photos 🙂

[@JohnRoe-yl4iy]

Hi Jess and Chris, I really enjoy your reviews and believe they encourage Brits to appreciate our home ground! nice to see you visiting the North East, looking forward to seeing more of your adventures? regards John, hartlepool

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We truly enjoy getting out and seeing all we can while we are here. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Chris

[@GaryWarren-gn8zg]

You should have gone to the pub, you could have parked there for free. I used to work in the pub there. Horsey coastline is my favourite place in the whole of Norfolk by far. I grew up on that beach.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We did go to Poppyland after and enjoy a lovely lunch. I did share the pictures at the end of this Vlog. It was cold so we wanted to park a little closer. 🤍 Jess x

[@scirpus1239]

What a lovely Mackerel sky

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Indeed it was. Cheers, Chris

[@petermclelland278]

Enjoyed that. Big sea. A big 'Mackerel' sky. The waves. The wind. And the wildlife, of course. And the old WW2 blockhouse! Still waiting! They didn't come! 😢

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad you enjoyed the video. We had a blast checking it out. Cheers, Chris

[@neilwilliams2409]

Thanks for another lovely ride along. Sure was a glorious day and the content was great 👍.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. We loved it. Cheers, Chris

[@davidwatts-hw2dh]

Around 1500 years ago, the Vikings arrived on these shores of my country. Scary bugqars! ha ha.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. 🤍 Jess x

[@daviddogsbody]

About a mile north is a great caravan and camping site called Waxham sands. We had lots of great holidays and weekend there with our kids. My dog was fascinated by the seals bobbing in the sea looking back at him.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds like you had some good memories yourself from there. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@claregale9011]

Hi Guys , what a fab place can't beat a bit of sea air , thanks for bringing us with you 😊❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Our pleasure. Cheers, Chris

[@ellesee7079]

I know I shouldn't say it, but...too cute! 🦭 That coastline looks lovely too. Everywhere looks so nice when we get blue skies and sunshine!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

You can say it, it is ok. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Chris

[@user-man-now80]

That was another superb video. Beautiful coastal views, with the unique attraction of grey seals in their natural habitat, and over the wind I'm sure that I heard Jess talking to the baby seal, or it may have been the seals talking to each other. It's so nice to see the happiness that animals bring to you, Jess and Chris, and that I get to share your experience. You really do bring so much pleasure through your channel, and I never tire of watching joining you. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad that we could bring you along. It was a great day and amazing place to check out. Cheers, Chris

[@steveoliver4418]

Another fabulous video, thanks guys

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. Chris

[@davidflack6430]

The windmill is actually a windpump.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That is what we have learned from another lovely comment. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@davidflack6430]

​@@DaydreamersBarnno problem. We were holidaying in the area last week and think we were at Horsey the same day as you.

[@stephenbarnard8672]

Hiya Jess and Chris, you pronounced Horsey perfectly 😃 it's hard to believe this is in the UK but this was a truly privileged moment to witness these beautiful creatures and to see them thriving with over 400 pups born warms my heart so thank you so much for sharing your special day. I would guess that the derelict brick building was probably connected to the war but I'm sure someone will confirm. Have a great Thursday and see you soon my friends. xx Thank you. ♥

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Stephen, Fantastic, we always try to say everything correctly, and sometimes we get it wrong. It truly was a wonderful experience! They are just so much fun to watch and see. Loved this adventure to see some magnificent animals and is something we had never experienced before. It was such a beautiful day, appreciating nature at its finest. Thank you, friend, for coming along on all the adventures you do! Happy Thursday 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@HeavenlyPreacher]

Yes the old stone building is a pillbox, one of 28,000 constructed in WWII. You will find them all around the coastline and military facilities. They were manned by lookouts/gunners as part of an early defence system.

[@stephenbarnard8672]

​@@HeavenlyPreacherThanks so much for confirming my guess 👍

[@mautbydecoy1]

Sorry bor, but, with respect, I disagree. Horsey has a hard S so should sound like Horzey.

[@danielroche114]

I used to live in looe in Cornwall and a gray seal called Nelson because he had 1 eye used to come up to the beach and people used to feed him 1 year he came back with a girlfriend and 2 pups sssooooo cute nature is beautiful

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds like a great story to take with you. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@chrisfox3161]

We went there over 10 years ago outside of pup season expecting to see very little. Sat on the dunes with a flask of coffee with seals about 20 metres away. Top day out. We also to a boat trip out from Blakeney. That was excellent for viewing the seals

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We had to make sure we timed it right. Although it is still an amazing place to take in the sea. Cheers, Chris

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

I bet not many Brits knew this 'attraction' exsisted. PS; you have the bald eagle as your national bird, we have psycho seagull, I would not battle with either! LOL! Beautiful vlog guys.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Hopefully it allows more to know about the natural beauty here. Cheers, Chris

[@stevexn]

When you go back home and say to your friends I fancy bangers and mash. You'll have some strange looks 😁 lol

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Yea, I can see that being interpreted differently. Cheers, Chris

[@TheCornishCockney]

Did you know that we have more pools per sq mile than anywhere in the world. Some people call them potholes.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Nice one. Cheers, Chris

[@LeeB-t2l]

I gotta do that. That looked so cool.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was indeed. We highly recommend. Cheers, Chris

[@grahvis]

I do love your enthusiasm, you should carry a pair of binoculars. I was fishing off my local beach in Wales when a couple of seals popped their heads up about 10 yards in front of me. They had the same surprised look on their faces that otters have when they suddenly realise someone is only a few yards away. It is quite comical.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That does sound like quite the experience. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Chris

[@johnlord9319]

Thank you both an experience few know about❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad to be some of those few. Cheers, Chris

[@krissyg7026]

Oh lovely. I nearly recommend this the other day. Another great seal day is Morston in Norfolk, where you can go out in a boat to see the seals.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for thinking about us. We love checking out all the different things we can here. Cheers, Chris

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

That was so special! Such fabulous weather too. What a stunning place. Not a location I've heard of before, so another excellent discovery. Thanks so much for this. It's gin clear today, but we still have plenty of snow and ice everywhere here!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was a great day and a great location. We actually were able to see some snow ourselves. Cheers, Chris

[@jamesfahy2935]

We went in March 2022 and there were hundreds of seals on the beach.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was amazing. Interesting it was later in the season and still quite a bit there. Cheers, Chris

[@kenharte6553]

Really enjoyed this I've never seen it myself. Saved me a journey well filmed chris

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. I am working on it one video at a time. Cheers, Chris

[@LilMonkeyFella87]

14:06 lol its like they did a trick for you 😅

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It sure did. Cheers, Chris

[@necessaryevil3428]

Wow Jess you were beaming. Gonna be hard to whipe that smile off your face 😊 I'll never understand why they're called 'pups' when their parents are a bull and cow seal..... surely they should be calves 🤔

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I was in heaven! I love animals so much, big or small. Haha, I'm not sure why they're called pups. That's a good question. 🤍 Jess x

[@davidmartin3947]

Really high quality! You guys must have had some serious upgrades in equipment! PS the wild goats in the Valley of the Rocks send their love! Hope you and Chris can find the time to check out the link I sent you to the Channel 5 video of Kate Humble walking that bit of the coast.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We have upgraded some of the equipment here lately, we are glad it is coming through. Thanks for sharing the link as well. Cheers, Chris

[@philnabbs]

Well that was a very informative video, documentaryesque. Very good. 👍👍😅😅

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Chris

[@philipmason9537]

Just a smidgen from 7,000 subscribers; well done !!!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are stoked! Cheers, Chris

[@VINCENTBECKETT]

At the risk of sounding like a smart arse, the wind Mills are in fact wind pumps used to drain the land for crops and animals. Keep up the good work, come back to Broadland it's gorgeous.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Good point about the wind mills. Cheers, Chris

[@RonSeymour1]

That was a fantastic experience for you and somehow you always get the best weather. I am guessing that the seals thrive because there are no natural predators such as sharks, although it does seem that one may have been killed by a Great White in 2012. Shipping is a big danger to them. It is hard to believe that the North Sea was once a land bridge.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We were able to hit it on a beautiful day. Not all the days are like this, but we try to make sure we take advantage if we can and the weather is nice. Cheers, Chris

[@helenab7390]

Chris needs to do some Rally driving...😅

[@DaydreamersBarn]

I will look for some closed courses for that one. Cheers, Chris

[@davidwatts-hw2dh]

You seem to be doing OK, driving on the opposite side of the road. ha ha ....

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We love driving over here. 🤍 Jess x

[@bobanob-q2u]

I bet that weather was bracing.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

It was cold but such a lovely experience! 🤍 Jess x

[@Marilyn-yg6vg]

Another fabulous video ..loved the. Plane silhouette on the coffee. ...you go to some amazing places ...

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Jess was so excited to see that on the menu, she had to get it. Cheers, Chris
