I Went to EDEN CAMP WW2 Museum in North Yorkshire

I spent the afternoon at an old POW camp in Malton, North Yorkshire which is now a WW2 Museum. I then spent a couple of hours looking around Malton town centre.

Those great heroes died in vain. Now we can't even defend ourselves against a small boat.

[@wladniem]

how true your comment is

[@Adam-zh4hm]

I went to Eden camp on a school trip in about 1995 maybe. I can still remember what the blitz room smells like 😂

[@neilfoster814]

Yes, that room blew me away too!

[@jasondonaldson7412]

Changed so much since then just been today was brilliant

[@neilfoster814]

I've been to Eden Camp a couple of times. Even 20 years ago it was fantastic, so I imagine it's even better today. Definitely worth a visit.

[@cloggsy1971]

Those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us in both World Wars and other conflicts since would be turning in their graves, seeing what a mess we have made of the world. 😩🤦🏻‍♂️ Especially here in the UK 😢

[@katewilliams4876]

I think we have made an even bigger mess in the US. It’s all so sad!

[@graemepatterson]

Amazing how few politicians and people that start wars don't end up affected by them or fighting in them....

[@keithallen8501]

@@graemepattersonpoliticians seem to benefit off the back of wars.

[@giorgipiorgi]

We’ve given away our inheritance. That’s for sure

[@bythecurb]

Absolutely!

Just got back from hospital with having surgery and really enjoyed this vid. Waiting for the next one now. And try kingsbridge down south. On your travels. Gorgeous and peaceful there.

[@bythecurb]

We hope you recover soon from your surgery. Hope you have got some good analgesia ☺️

[@BluebellM]

James, please believe me, you are are improving in leaps and bounds and your efforts are highly appreciated. Defintely my number one KZbinr! But please don't over do it though like so many others and burn yourself out. Thanks to you Maldon and the Eden camp are now a go to destination for me!

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@TimK2646]

British treated German POWs with humanity. Cannot be said for the GREAT ESCAPE other side. Gratitude to the heroes of Burma, my birth country, who laid down their lives fighting the Japanese. The beauty of your video is the contemplative dialogue towards the end.

[@user-vy2tm9rx1g]

Malton is a great little town

[@johngrant5448]

Best museum that I've been to is Beamish open air museum in county Durham. Got to ride on the old back loading double deckers and old Sheffield tram again. Will go back when the 1950s town is fully built. It was interesting to visit Norman Wisdom's house and see some of his art work.

[@paulgibbons2320]

Eden camp is a terrific visit for anyone. Highly recommend it. Interesting fact. The road into Whitby across North York moors was laid by the prisoners interned in the camp. The submarine display gives many kid nightmares. The first time you think of being trapped in a tin can under the water which is taking on water and you know it cannot be stopped. We send men to do that. God rest them.

[@craigcottingham35]

This is enormously important to our history. Thank you for your time.🙏❤️

[@user-lt3jh8hf1i]

I love it when you go into the pubs. Love seeing inside them. 😂

[@jimstar7692]

Definitely need to come to Dover Castle and the war time tunnels just don’t come when the port is busy 👍

[@erniejohns3750]

Six minutes into the vlog and I’m planning to go, well done for highlighting this amazing project

[@Happyhenzo]

This place really freaked me out when I was a kid. Still gives me the creeps looking at some of those walkthroughs now

[@christinakeet4468]

Hi, James. You both need to visit Bournemouth and Weymouth, they lovely seaside towns. Lots of Beautiful little villages surrounding them both. Including the new forest with some beautiful Country villages and pubs. Christina.

[@christinefleming7656]

That was lovely James been twice before about 10 yrs ago Loved looking round Malton

[@paulwalsham1300]

When you travel/tour southern england, visit the Tank Museum at Bovington near Lulworth cove in Dorset. You will be impressed. The largest tank museum in the world. Well worth a visit.

[@simon-zh3qb]

Lived 17mile away from that camp all my life,never even heard of it.Nice one! Loved that sign "in case of an invasion we will be closed for 30mins" lol

[@mark2781]

Thanks, as ever for another wicked vlog! Always gives me ideas, where i can take my daughter, when she visits from wales! .. thanks again james! 👍 💯 💚

[@julieryan1616]

You pair are lovely people genuine and kind its so obvious, sending love from the potteries Julie and John 😊

My mum sue has been watching your channel for at least a year and a half now! She’s mental 😂Watches all the adverts all the way through, so you get 2p she says 😂 she even bought some vp nuts! She always watches each video about 5 times. Always checking for the next video each day and says 2 videos a week just isn’t enough 😂 loves you and Helen for sure! Keep up the good content bro ;)

[@giorgipiorgi]

She’s vying with me to be #1 fan 😂. Sounds like she wins

[@bythecurb]

Haha thank you so much to your mum, we love her :-) 😍

[@bythecurb]

@@giorgipiorgi Thank you :-)

[@stuart4024]

Been a few times ,very humbling! Whilst down sarf James you've got to check out Dartmouth if you never been,also Corf castle ,Durdle dor, Lulworth bay just to name a few ,all stunning places. If you like Whitby you will like Brixham it's very similar! Hope this helps matey

[@Thefacepaintguy_]

In july I'd recommend A trip to Portsmouth historic dockyard then a 5 minute walk to gunwharf quays you two will love it

[@resurgem]

It's brilliant.

[@truleee1]

So happy you seem to have conquered your anxiety about talking on camera, you've fair blossomed. You are so engaging and funny and a right good bloke. Glad you've cracked 50k in subscribers, onwards and upwards 🙂

[@bythecurb]

Thank you

[@2638lady63]

When you visit the South Coast, visit southsea( Portsmouth), the d day museum on the sea front, take the Hovercraft over to the isle of wight for a day trip. Margaret

[@johnfarrington9868]

Hi James really enjoyed your trip to Molton and the pow camp..really interesting day hi to Helen cheers mate John in stow on the wold Cotswolds I'm enjoying Becky's channel too she's doing really well 🎉

[@shaunkynaston8836]

Eden camp looked amazing, never heard of it before, they should advertise it more regions

[@JamesNortonJones]

Thanks for this, following the video I've taken my family to Eden Camp and we really loved it as well as the wider Yorkshire area (Pocklington)

[@bythecurb]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ConfusedGrapes-sg3dh]

Thank You for this This generation took so much and we think Times Are Hard😊

[@bernielucas6497]

Hi From a fellow barnsley lad..just come across your channel. Been past this place many times.never knew there was so much there ,will be visitin,great video 👍👍

[@graemeatkinson8411]

Lost my Father, Kenneth, last year (92). He was evacuated aged 9/10 to Staveley near Windermere. Thank you for your Eden Camp episode the footage of kids being sent away with gasmasks over their shoulders is a minute detail of the conflict but all I need to know about the horrors of WW2.

[@thebeginingandtheend7289]

Just watched your video James, nice and relaxed and like the honesty regarding trying to get footage. You mentioned you and Helen are planning on going to Spain again, end of July. I suggest Barcelona, been there and it's vibrant and full of brilliant places to see and do, such as the Basílica de la Sagrada .

[@SusanTurner-yo9lf]

Need to add Eden camp and Malton to my list of places to visit, Malton looks such a lovely place but thats the most expensive charity shop I have ever seen 😮

[@Ann32703]

Hi James and Helen 😊. Thank you for these vlogs you do which are not only educational but also fun. I particularly liked the Eyam vlog, The Bury Market one and Llandudno being from north wales i would do lol. Just wondering at some point would you be able to vlog The great Homer street Market in Liverpool? Its open on Saturdays 8-3 . I've heard its good and would like to go there at some point. Take Care 👍🙂

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, I'll look that up :-)

[@annefoster4701]

We’re here are at at the Spotted Cow in Malton where you James was a few days back just having a nice cooling glass of Coke and as well had a wander around the village. Been in Boyes too😂😂Very nice place as well well recommended👍

[@RobertCretanhero]

It's interesting to see your journey since you began your KZbin adventure. I, like you, would find it very difficult to open up my life to curious viewers. Your confidence has clearly grown and your enthusiasm has shone through. But it must be so challenging to find and produce interesting topics to satisfy your hungry viewers. Keep up the good work. 😎🇬🇷

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, it is challenging coming up with content

[@michellecox7920]

Depending how far south you want to go to Oxford is a good place to go for architecture.

[@umbumplorry]

Hi James, if you visit Newhaven in July, head for the Hope Inn, Fort Road, drive past it on the right and park overnight on the seafront for a tenner. Thanks for the vlogs 👌. Be lucky. Chris.

[@iandeeley5035]

We live near Lancaster, will go there thanks James.

[@LisaJust-lv9ed]

Hi James been here 3 times ,but not recently,I love the ambiance of it ,but since then we have two dogs ,glad you announced it was dog friendly!we can now organise a day trip there !I know kids can be noisy on these trips but at least it shows that theyre still being taught the right side of history!looking forward to seeing Helen your fun together ,and hope your mums improving all the time 🤗

[@bythecurb]

Thank you, mum is much better now

[@neilwiltshire1467]

Eden Camp looked really well thought out and put together, obviously an excellent popular choice for school trips too - though not helpful for a You Tuber trying to make an honest living !! You said the cafe was offering traditional 1940s recipes (but not at 40s prices !) and then noted there wasn't much meat in the pies ... " Don't you know there's a war on ?! " ... lol ... Nice sentiments at the end of the video too, I'll be keeping an eye out for which seaside towns you come to" dahn saff" in July and maybe bump into you and Helen somewhere. I've been to just about everywhere along the south coast from Broadstairs to Bournemouth and beyond about a dozen times each !

[@susiewhite4643]

Hi James if your going down south try fit in a visit to milton keynes .If you love war stuff you will love Bletchley Park where they did the code breaking during the war it's dead interesting . Lovely grounds there's a cafe in the Manor house. They have all the huts that were used as offices and the code breaking machines .

[@webpigjohn4959]

CLOVELLY is fantastic if you plan on Devon.. full of history and a Pub at the bottom 👍

[@stevebrown6665]

Watched to the end thanks for posting Certainly puts things into perspective

[@user-if1cj2kz8s]

Come to Colchester & see us! Nice castle etc, lots of history. Near clacton ( I know uv been) Walton, Frinton. We went to Sudbury Saturday, haven’t been for years (small market town) Bury st Edmund very nice too, not seaside towns though. Mersea Island (near colchester) Maldon ( famous for sea salt) Tiptree (famous for strawberries & jam factory) all good places. You’ll be coming South as we’re going North, back to Yorkshire to see the mother in law. Fab video as usual, caught up on the Barnsley one earlier… looked great. Love to you both, missing Helen. Lucy xx

[@bythecurb]

Thanks Lucy, Helen will be in loads of videos soon as we will be vlogging on holiday 😊

[@mikeskaife473]

I wish I’d known you were coming to my hometown, glad you enjoyed your day though 😊

[@davidwebb8877]

Went there years ago,it’s a great day out and well worth a visit.

[@annieallcock8123]

Great video James, Eden camp looks like it's worth a visit, amazing, we have never been. Glad it's been made into a museum, keeping our history alive... On another note I bet Helen can't wait for her holidays ❤

[@bridiewright1519]

Unless we have parents or grandparents who can tell us what it was like at that time, we will never know how hard it was,

[@simonlove9178]

Cracking vid ,love them type of museums ,it's telling us all how it was back then ,I suppose the meal was expensive because of the layout of the museum ,love the vids 🎥🎬

[@hammerite6479]

This place looks right up my street another great video ❤

[@davidmoss5823]

Excellent video, you’d have drove past Thomson’s fish and chips on your way to Eden, fantastic fish and chips 👍🏻😁

[@johnwelsh8737]

The ending little speech , was wonderful James you have so many friends here

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@teresestarkey7914]

Thank you for going to Malton, we often travel to Bridlington and have talked about going to Malton but never got there. We will definitely be visiting Eden camp and Malton on our next trip to Brid. Thanks once again.

[@john43397]

Ossie's fish and chips 111 high street Whitstable Kent is good stuff good value. I would forget about Southend on sea. Tried there on Saturday it's not the same Southend (SUFFHEND) as when I were a wee Cockney lad.

[@donnapierce8558]

The blitz ‘smells of the war’ put me off BBQ flavoured food for 20 years… straight up! Burning flesh was all I could think of 😂😂😂😂 great vlog and I love knowing how much your meal costs 👍🏻 Cheers

[@lyndondavies3551]

When you come down to the south. If you do coastal towns here is a few you might consider . Dymchurh is amazing . Just beyond Dymchurh there is a very quiet place called Greatstone . There is a miniature railway there that is a bit over priced . Ramsgate is very good , Dover beech is nice for a walk .Margate is a bit cheesey but ok . I hope this gives you a few places to check out . Great Vlogs thanks? Lyndon

[@dawntague9029]

I lived in Bishop Aucklandfor 20 years as ex husband was in RAF. My son went to the Eden project with school when he were younger and thoroughly enjoyed it!! (27 now) Divorced now, so been back home in Wales since 2018. Eden looks really interesting and I'd love to read all literearure about war and rations & look in all the rooms. I now live in Barry Island with my partner, there's plenty of great places to visit around South Wales, if you vidit this area im July. From Barry Island, Cardiff Bay, Porthcawl? Swansea and the Gower, Brecon Beacons and many more. If you do come down to Barry Island, give us a shout, we'd love to meet you and Helen for a few drinks!! Youre doing brilliantly making videos when Helen is working!! Have confidence in yourself. Have a great week. Dawn & Jay 😊🌞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Come to Poole in Dorset if that’s part of the coast you’re passing through, loads of pubs! 😁

[@nedkabinder]

Hey james ,thanks for another brilliant enjoyable vlog .been to malton so many times but never eden camp so must make a visit .yeah £15 is a little steep for cafe pricing . Ideas for the south coast - Littlehampton ,bognor regis,selsey ,Portsmouth. Further along Lymington is nice as is pool harbour and swanage .not sure how far along the south coast you want to go but lyme regis is nice too

[@thelmabrindley2369]

You are such a natural, honest and likeable person. Great vlog again James

Plenty to see at Eden Camp, could make a full day of it. Malton looks nice too and worth a visit. How's about Clacton on Sea when you and Helen head down South on your Jollies?

Those chips look homemade and lovely, im glad u choose to ignore that man i like to know the prices, great vlog love that place

That is amazing James, it's bigger than I thought it was. So sad though all those poor people. Down south with Helen next then, good vlogs still to come then. Debbie Brid

[@skwestgate]

Hi James, thanks for today's tour, enjoyed it as always. My dear mum & her family lived through the War (house in Hornchurch Essex near the aerodrome) & mum was 13 in 1943 when a Spitfire crashed into her school & killed the young American Pilot. She regaled me with many stories of growing up in War time, so I shed a tear watching the footage today xxx

[@martintaylor5879]

James never heard of the Eden camp but thanks for the content ..one fine day will make a visit having just got back from Albuferia you and Helen would really enjoy that place

[@christinemarchant4678]

Looks like an amazing museum 😊

[@paultinkler470]

Hi James as another subscriber mentioned I think you should go to Beamish you and Helen would love it there’s loads to see and do, old fish and chip shops 1900s pub really good day out 👍

I am going to go there soon hopefully :-)

[@jamesdean4100]

lyme regis in dorset is nice as is dartmouth in devon...if youre going to spain estepona and nerja are really nice and loads to see in the city of malaga

[@alandoyle9733]

James if your coming south soon you And Helen must visit Rye in Sussex you will love it the Town centre in inside the Castle on top of A big Hill loads of Shops Pubs and Really Old cottages and little narrow cobbled street you and Ellen will love it also you’re not far from Brighton and other south coast seaside town like Littlehampton Worthing Bognor Regis great place to stay let me know if you’re going down all the best Alan

[@pauper177]

The Museum looked amazing, I will definitely go there if I get back to the UK,. I agree with you the pie and chips needed gravy, please carry on giving us the prices of things as I like to compare the prices with the Australian prices...♥🍺🍺

Hi James (and Helen 🖐) I stumbled across your channel a few months ago and I've been watching all of your videos...I absolutely love them 😊....I went to Eden Camp a few weeks ago and I loved it too...we had chip butties (I got funny looks when I asked for gravy over mine) 😂 it cost us about 50 quid for 4 of us with drinks but the food as you said was above average and we really enjoyed the chips...I'll keep on watching and always look forward to your new uploads 😊 - Samantha x

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Samantha, glad you're enjoying the videos 😊

[@keithvincent322]

£16 for the POW camp or £12 for twenty minutes on a plastic leg powered boat on a boating lake in Skegness, kind of puts the world into perspective doesn't it.. Another great video James really enjoyed it and will definitily be visiting Eden camp and Malton. I would have liked you to have gone into a deli in Malton and using an American accent asked them for one of their famous Pork Pies, then refusing to believe them when they told you you had gone to the wrong town lol.

[@DownTheRoadWithDiane]

Wow, what an amazing place. I had no idea that this place existed. Thank you for showing.

[@rikkibeattie5174]

I enjoy your vlogs and always happy to watch till the end. Been to Malton once before but had never heard of Eden camp, and will definitely visit the next time I am in the area as it looks fantastic.

[@Two-Old-Travellers]

That was a really good video I would love to visit there I would probably need more than one day to explore it. I agree about the mugs suddenly have a paper cup does break the mood a little, but I guess you could say that about the prices too 😊 I guess it’s an age thing but I thoroughly enjoyed that vlog next time though go when the kids are all in school 😊 take care and looking forward to the next adventure.

[@paulanoyce7646]

I was in Bridlington last Wednesday, walking along the cliffs photographing birds and nature, bempton cliffs was really good too.

[@KevinTubb]

I'm really pleased you're coming down south. We're really nice people and not at all scary!! Can I recommend you visit Swanage in Dorset and Sidmouth in Devon. They are smaller than the obvious places like Bournemouth and Torquay but really lovely. Enjoy the South!!

[@giorgipiorgi]

I love Sidmouth. My mum lives near there
