[@farmerfishdogg486]

The Endless Adventure you should go to Snowdonia while you're in Wales..beddgelert is a nice village with campsites 👍

[@TheLowten]

if you are in Cardiff take a quick trip north to the nearest town called caerphilly (where i live) there is an amazing castle in the centre of the town that is open to the public

[@TheLowten]

I would also recommend making a trip to Dan yr Ogof, located at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales, is a 17-kilometre long cave system in south Wales

[@baylessnow]

Before you head for Wales head up through Devon and visit the fishing village of Clovelly and don't wear slippery soled shoes or you will go from the start of 'Down along' (the only street) to 'Up along' (again the only street) on your backside because Down along/Up along is possibly the nearest thing you can walk on that resembles a vertical wall!

[@baylessnow]

I bet the story of Bedgellert brings a tear to your eye.

[@johnmason8683]

I think in this country and it maybe the same in the US is that small family owned eateries are quite often much better than the big company places. Good luck on your travels. 😊

[@BellaDiary]

YAAAAS!! Totally agree!x

[@darlo3992]

I is agreeing

[@grega6031]

Hey I'm from the US.... Specifically northern Wisconsin.... Back in the 1800s a group of Cornish miners settled in my area.... I grew up eating pasties... We ALL did... No one else in the states has ever even heard of them (except Michigan... The miners lived near the border)... It was ONE group of workers begging local eateries to make them.... And they were so good they spread across my state... True story!

[@marvinc999]

Somebody should say it: Having our American Cousins come over to England/Britain and being joyously enthusiastic about its MANY beauties and treasures - which we natives CAN tend to take for granted sometimes - is a WONDERFUL thing to see ! Your sheer ENTHUSIASM alone is infectious and - in a strange sort of way - quite therapeutic. You and your friends are ALWAYS welcome in these islands. Many thanks for your beautiful vlogs........................... Buon Viaggio ! PS: Did the Warren House still have a fire on the go ? It always used to - all the year round - and that was one of its 'selling features' to tourists.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much for the comment! Britain really is one of our favorite places to visit. So glad it comes across in our videos! Hopefully we can entice more people to visit and Brits to do more exploring 👍🏻

[@gdfggggg]

I agree. So many people are obsessed with going abroad, when there is so much to see here. We recently went to Weymouth; so many things to see and do in that area. Fantastic.

[@officialangeltrinder4173]

I love how proud we all are on here to come from cornwall

[@EVILBUNNY28]

Pastys actually played a huge role for miners. When they’d go down the mines their hands would be filthy. They wouldn’t be allowed up to to surface during their lunch break and there was no way to wash their hands down in the mine. This is why Pastys have the crimped bottom to them, it allowed the miners something to hold whilst they ate the rest of it. Once they finished the crimp would be covered in dirt, so they’d just toss it for the “knockers”*. Obviously now you don’t have dirty hand when you eat them (I should hope) so you can just eat the whole thing. But I think that’s a pretty neat thing to think about next time you eat them. This story was passed down to me from my grandfather who in turn, his father worked down the coal mines. So there is truth to this story! *The knockers are a legendary myth that miners came up with, they’d hear knocks around the mine shafts and they’d believe it was some spirits alerting them to rich veins of ores, so the miners would always leave them a treat

[@theresaquaglia4683]

I also heard that sometimes on the top of the pasty a letter or a symbol was baked on top of the pasty so a miner could identify theirs... ogi ogi ogi... oy oy oy!

[@marksip01234]

It's very refreshing that you genuinely find the best in every environment you are in. Some VLOGs seem to be too often subtly complaining about Britain, mainly due to inconvenience or unfriendly natives

[@wendymudkins6870]

There's nothing better than a good proper Cornish pasty from Cornwall I'm biased being cornish

[@spencerwilton5831]

Wendy Mudkins you can't call a pasty a Cornish pasty now unless it was made in Cornwall. There is nothing better than a freshly baked one, still warm (but never hot!) eaten while sitting overlooking a Cornish beach.

[@davidmellish3295]

Wendy Mudkins I’m not Cornish I’m from south east London but u are so right,a proper Cornish pasty from Cornwall is the best

[@fatbroccoli8]

You can get Cornish pasties everywhere though can’t you, and they’re exactly the same, in Devon they are anyway

[@fatbroccoli8]

Atlas come on now, Devon is the place for clotted cream

[@sputnik466]

I`m from Manchester in Lancashire and the nicest and tastiest pasty I`ve EVER had was in 1974 in Paignton Devon, in a olde worlde pub set in a little back street. I`ve never had one since that was THAT tasty.

[@musicguyrml]

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching your videos. You are so open-minded, positive and enthusiastic! I am not from there but I wholeheartedly recommend you visit York if you have not done so. It is a stunning city that truly represents some of the best that England has to offer. The Lake District is also stunning. Keep up the great work.

"Always time for a Pint" haha you guys belong here. Thank you for your kind words about my beloved island, I thoroughly enjoy your videos.

[@therushden]

Paul Gamble in dimpled glasses too. Been ages since I've seen pint glasses like those.

[@colinp2238]

The correct term is Dimple Mug because of the shape and handle. You can get them at the Pound shop.

[@Dragonblaster1]

therushden I've got one at home from when my local started binning them for straight glasses. Great for a pint of Fullers ESB.

[@Dragonblaster1]

A Gentleman Yup. 16 fluid ounces does not a pint make.

[@pugfan4212]

Honestly the guy at 1:00 I always see him walking his dog and we’re in the same social circle but he never talks to me EVER except one time I came across him on a hike where I was slightly dazed and didn’t wanna walk past this bull and he helped me.

[@willx8837]

dock leaves always grow close to stinging nettles, if you get stung by a nettle, rub a dock leaf on your sting, for instant relief

[@jaycee330]

It's a fallacy, the relief just comes from rubbing.

[@jdb47games]

7:11 That story is a modern myth. Working class people could not afford to waste food thus. Miners actually ate them wrapped in cloth to keep the dirt off.

[@kernowpiski810]

As a Cornish lass myself, I'll second that! The information you provided has been passed through the local minings families for generations! Propped job 😉

[@matth1589]

Stilton is not a stinky cheese, it is an awesome blue cheese.

[@joshuastephens301]

Food blogers, vlogers, should know this.

[@Vixterlk]

True but a lot of people hear "blue cheese" and dismiss it because all they can think of is mould. So if asked most sales people would probably avoid directly describing it that way.

[@sandra21wh]

Yep, a blue cheese that SMELLS !

[@slaw3485]

But blue cheese stinks 😂

[@stolenname94]

Blue chesse might sound nasty but it's freaking incredible. And I don't think Stilton has any real rival it's that good. If there is one thing us Brits are good at its chesse.

[@liadhainsmith]

As someone from Devon, and a food lover, (and foodie traveller), it's amazing to have found your channel! To see travellers explore beyond London, to see the UK for all its variety. And I'm so used to watching travel food blogs regarding Asia or Africa or whatever, it's cool to see people trying British foods that I may take for granted. So glad you've been enjoying your time, and I've subscribed :) So cool you visited the Warren, last time I visited my dad we went up there. Dartmoor is lovely! I recommend Sidmouth and Lyme Regis as day out/foody things, but there's a country walk from Sidmouth to Otterton, it's beautiful on a good weather day, and Sidmouth folk festival is definitely worth a visit, (liking folk music isn't a requirement, it's much more than that), and the food at Otterton mill, that is my biggest recommendation for anyone visiting Devon.

[@IngridAlcazarOficial]

I was having a terrible day and suddenly, the notification arrived. Watching that sea I felt relaxed and comfortable, plus the cornish pasties! You made me have desire to try one! Thank you.

[@angelikawerkner8773]

I´m just in LOVE with Newquay. I use to go to this shop at evening time shortly before the close . I could go there every day when I´m there . I love those pasties that much

[@wayneclement7201]

Another Brit dish you need to try is a Ploughman's Lunch, simple but great!

[@theresaquaglia4683]

I loved ploughmans lunch! That Branston pickle!

[@bluestuey1]

It is so nice to see good people appreciate what so many of us take for granted. Thank you! Great videos!

[@maxheadroom3839]

Dog poo and stinging nettles you really are taking in the British experience lol cool videos. I love cheese Stilton is gorgeous.

[@cjcj6945]

Absolutely beautiful scenery in this video!

[@Bungalow_Bill]

FYI Stilton is a soft blue cheese that can only be made in Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Nottinghamshire from milk also produced in those counties.

[@Frank-hn3yj]

Respect to you guys on your adventure and nice to see you're having a nice time. Hope the weather stays reasonable.

[@gordongate]

Strictly speaking, a proper miner's pasty should have a savoury filling at one end and a sweet filling at the other.

[@jdb47games]

That's a modern novelty pasty, not something miners would really have eaten.

[@paulh1679]

@@jdb47games Can't be that modern i remember my mother telling me that 50 years ago.

[@graememorrison333]

These are traditional in Bedfordshire, and known as 'Clangers'!

[@kernow62]

[@waaaghzag]

I just got recommended one of your videos by KZbin and I haven't stopped watching. It's amazing seeing you guys discovering all this stuff around Cornwall and Devon like I did visiting my extended family in that part of the country when I was younger. Going to that pub in Dartmoor is one of the last memories I have of my grandfather before he passed. Bringing back memories!

[@SG4860]

You two are so much fun to watch!! Love your comments! You are great to watch! XX

[@ofeliciao]

My Great Grandfather lived and worked there and then came to Michigan USA to work the copper mines and found even worse conditions. I had tears in my eyes when I went on the tours and found out the working conditions that they went through. They were in debt when they got here and stayed in debt as long as they worked in the mines. Generations of our family was lost to these mines. I still find it so hard and so familiar that they left one peninsula to come to another. I still have family there although most moved to New Zealand. If the surname "Teddy" means anything to you please give me a shout.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

The original Cornish pasties were made for men who worked in the tin mines and underground mines, the idea is with dirty hands hold the pasty by the crust and eat the filling, the filling used to be 2/3rds savory and 1/3rd sweet - steak and veg / apple. When finished through the crust away. Steak and Stilton is yum yum!

[@PooleyX]

Really enjoying watching you adventure around my beautiful country. Makes me proud!

[@jules_8673]

Guys your editing is just awesome. I've noticed a massive improvement in this over the last year. Good work!

We never would have thought there were beaches like that in Cornwall / England. It all looks so epic guys. Putting this on our travel list now! - T

Nice video! Cornwall is such a beautiful place and of course the famous cornish pasty is the best you'll ever have! Look forward to seeing more videos from you guys 😊

[@DarrenFlinders]

Hey guys, absolutely loving your channel, especially now that you are in one of my favourite place, Cornwall. Always look forward to a new video from you guys, keep up the excellent work, looking forward to seeing more, and certainly, inspiring me to do a bit of travelling myself.

[@andrewfowler8082]

I miss you guys being out exploring due to Covid-19. I’ve decided to watch all the old episodes! You know they are still as entertaining

[@LadySamzy]

I've just started watching you guys and amazingly you're now in Wales which is where I live :) Make sure you come visit the Valleys here in South Wales. It's about an hour drive from Cardiff but trust me, taking a walk on the mountains is so worth it!

[@krazohills9008]

Wow! Thank you! I've been wanting to visit for 42 years. Have a pen friend there the past 42 years. Sadly never had the wherewithal.She is now 70 and I am 61. Her brother was one of the brave men lost in the Penlee lifeboat disaster atempting to rescue a ship. Beautiful place, and wonderful people!

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad we could take you along with us!

[@floydroyds4069]

I'm always so amazed when I see Cornwall. I've been to Newquay once a while back and I was shocked that a place like this existed in England with the beautiful clear blue sea water

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

if you haven't yet been to York, then do. An historic tiny city. The Minster is amazing and underneath is a Roman garrison that you can actually walk about in.Go to the Jorvik centre which is a Viking village. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and of course, it's the home of Yorkshire pudding :)

[@traceypotter7669]

Best place to have a pint in the whole of UK, is the King's House in Scotland. Sit at a bench, next to a stream filled with trout. Wait for the deer to come over, while you sit with the view of Buchail Etive Mor. (Sorry for spelling, I might be Scottish, but not sure if that is right!) And the wild camping is spectacular there. Best place on earth.

[@anniebannanie13]

beautiful countryside! keep it comin'!

[@davidyoung695]

Stilton cheese also has protected status and can only be made in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Ironically, cheese made in the village of Stilton cannot be called Stilton cheese as the village is now located in the county of Cambridgeshire.

[@nadinethomas3384]

Love your aerial shots 👍🏻

[@EricIrl]

We used to play ludo as kids. It often came in a box of games called a "compendium". Ludo is actually the "latin" word for "game". The last gladiator standing after a few rounds in the Colliseum was known as the "victor ludorum" - winner of the games. Not quite as gentle as modern "ludo".

[@Ravenuk]

Nice to see people enjoying England glad you seemed to enjoy it

[@Hollyferris]

Hi all. Glad you liked Cornwall, one of my fav' places to visit. Cornish pasties are lovely but as you prob' know the others were just updated versions of a TRUE/original pastie.

[@robocop6666666]

Love being on holiday with you guys on my armchair lol

[@MegaBoilermaker]

Good choice with the Warren House pub. The "Golden Dagger" mine is in the background when you are sitting outside the pub.

[@colinp2238]

Good to see you enjoying merrie England. Ludo originated in India in the 6th century called Pachisi. It was bought over here in the Victorian age when India was part of the British Empire and the tokens and dice were used. The word Ludo is Latin for I play. Adders are vipers and their bite is about as toxic as a bee sting so not usually fatal unless, of course, you have a medical condition.

[@jjaus]

Stilton is English blue cheese. Apart from some seriously good Gorgonzola, it might be my favourite blue and is very expensive. With some quince paste and crackers and a good port, I am in heaven.

[@philipmccarthy6175]

You should try Cashel Blue if you ever see it , it's from Ireland.

[@timmartin2894]

Blue stilton cheese is amazing - you'll get used to it if you have it a few more times haha. It's an acquired taste. I have it on black olive crackers as a snack sometimes. It's so nice!

I feel very to live in the beautiful place knows as Cornwall where I can enjoy this every day truly blessed we are.stake pasty’s are my favourites

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

The part of a Cornish Pasty for holding is because they were traditionally made for the miners by their wives, their hands would be covered in dirt so the crust was for them to hold, eat the rest and discard so they didn't get the dirt in the part they were eating. (Just watched you explain that bit :) )

[@gdfggggg]

[@MrSmid888]

Pasties were invented from men working down coal mines.The pastry was basically used as a lunch box to hold the potatoes and meat and was rarely eaten!Sometimes one half was sweet and one half savoury.

[@g.g.baxter4868]

It is a whole meal, they were originally made for coal/tin miners who needed a filling but easy to transport meal to take down to the mines, hence meat and potato in a pastry crust, it also originally had two parts a savoury and a desert section, coz us southerners cant have a meal without a bit of pudding, or maybe its just English men in general, and the reason u hold the crust is when u have dirty hands from mining, u throw away the crust and not miss out on any of that meaty goodness in the middle

[@art0000t]

Also to add what Baxter said; There is allot of folk history behide the 'Cornish pasty'. Do look it up guys. Mining in the 17th/18th was a dangerous job. Some of the more surperstitious miners would not finsh eating the whole pasty. Instend the miner would leave some of the pasty left and throw it down a mine shaft. This was done as an offering to the spirts of pasted dead miners. The idea being it helped the living miner's luck of getting out alive after work.

I love how you enthusiastically try the local foods and don't always go for the touristy-choices or American favorites. British and Dutch produce is the best I've ever tasted and when I go back to the states, I'm always a little depressed at the state of produce at the stores.

[@markscott554]

Ah, Cornwall. I studied Art many moons ago. Some friends and I worked at a bar on weekend evenings, but would run around the countryside on weekend days in minis. It was like The Italian Job with pasties and clotted cream. 30 years ago, sheesh. Cornwall is such a great place.

[@carlclifford64]

Pastys used to be popular, here in Australia. I ate many as a kid, way back in the depths of the last century. They were brought here by Cornish miners or Cousin Jacks, as they were called, who were imported to work in the Copper mines in South Australia. If you want an insight into life in Cornwall, in the old days, chase up the British TV series, Poldark. A real Ripping Yarn.

[@sallylouise9826]

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

4:50 Cornish Pasties, like their cousins in Scotland called Bridies (very similar), both have a separated outside part because they were for labourers (miners primarily) to eat for lunch with their dirty hands, the outside bit could then be discarded.

That beach looks like where Poldark was filmed. Loved that series!!

[@markp6313]

Don't forget those most treasured of 'adopted' British food such as Chicken Tikka Marsala and Doner Kebab. That latter of which is usually consumed late on a Friday or Saturday night usually after about 10 pints of Lager.
