Exploring Kingham in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds

[@infidelcastro5129]

I live in this area, and although there are obviously some very nice locals, it has been utterly spoiled by the influx of entitled wealthy “do you know who I am?” types. Still, the most beautiful place to live 😊 You just need to ignore the dickheads lol

[@Revdrwilliam]

Fantastic video as always i recommend strongly Longborough! mu home village it is truly stunning!😀

[@rainyh-jay2414]

Had our first visit to Daylesford Farm Shop recently, you do indeed, need a mortgage to make a purchase!!! Thanks for another interesting video.

[@helenbailey8419]

😊😊I'm with you Robin about wild flowers Our grass verges are a little over grown,but the wildlife love them and Mothers with children stop to look with delight...thats as it should be I think.

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

As it should be. We can't have children growing up not known that the wildflowers are even missing.

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

'New Money' drives out 'Old' and much else perhaps, including the furniture. What would Evans have made of it all? Thank you.

[@angelamears3201]

You were spot on Robin………and very fair. We live in Moreton in Marsh…….not so pretty, but much more down to earth!

[@JangianTV]

More majestic escapism courtesy of Robin and Co. 😊

[@PennyFarmer-w8g]

I appreciate your candor. It helps, I grew up in Naples Florida and yes, those folks who think they are just soooo above the rest of us locals. Ha.

[@jannieo]

I live in Scarborough Maine. check out my response above

[@mw...]

Well said

[@rogertemple7193]

I always like watching and enjoy seeing the beautiful Cotswolds and the various villages and towns in this awesome area thank you. 🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧

[@davezoom2682]

Manicuring the place to death , what a wonderful discription ! Thanks you made me chuckle several times ...

[@RichardWatt]

A A Gill was a delight when he guested on panel shows like Have I Got News For You.

[@jannieo]

we have had the same invasion here on the beautiful and peaceful coast of Maine. Maine was a quiet and conservative place 50 years ago with fishermen and farmers living in harmony with wealthy summer folk who were only here July and August for "The Season". The elites have invaded tearing down beautiful old estates and putting up modern mansions, bringing their city ideals with them as well. Driving up taxes for families that have been here since they settled here from England in the 1600's, my ancestors were some of these people. The attitude of entitlement is palpable. IT's been hard to watch this beautiful state change so much in my lifetime. In addition we also have "the newcomers" from the southern border of the USA ( all 75,000 and another 75,000 to come in a state of just over 1 million people) that the current administration has shipped and paid for all over the USA. The world is changing fast. Love your videos and you too!! Janet Robinson

[@carycary5824]

I just had to listen to this video again!!!!😂😂😂 I love it❤

[@carycary5824]

This is the funniest description of the Cotswold area I ever heard!!!😂😂 lol

[@directorofnolearning]

They may be rich around there, but they don't necessarily put that money into local amenities. I did an event at the village hall and I kid you not, the organisers had to keep putting £1 coins into a meter to operate the electricity!

[@jannieo]

wow on that!!

[@sunnyonion3461]

I'm from the Cotswolds but now live in Barbados, where Trolly Dolly Bamford has ridden rough-shod on both west and east coasts. Seems she's disliked everywhere she goes.

[@pawedz7196]

Verry intresting story and historical place

[@TheBTG88]

Robin, the word I think you are stretching for is - Disney-esque.

[@Roamingthecotswolds]

Another Lovely Video Robin.

[@TheLandOfJonny]

Thanks for another lovely video. I always pass through on the train but have never set foot there.. yet. Also I hope you’re doing well with your health Robin :) All the best.

[@kskssxoxskskss2189]

Well done. Put me in mind of some of what's happening in some of our American states -- Vermont, Montana -- where internet makes possible the questionable marriage of old farming and new money.

[@scottkrone4397]

Nice video guys what Mishawaka with your doggies around the area as long as you keep shining a light on the hidden gems thank you guys and dogs

[@davesky538]

How did these locations get their names? How did the Cotswold get it's name? Chipping Norton is a very interesting name for sure!

[@infidelcastro5129]

Chipping = Market town. Norton = In the north (of the Cotswolds) 😊

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

The Cotswolds are plural. There are a couple of ideas for the origin of the name. A wold is a hill, and there are many hills. The Cotswolds would therefore mean "sheep enclosures in the hills" or something too that effect. But it may also may come from an Old English personal name, like "Cod's-wold", from Codesuualt, or the high open land of someone called Cod. And as below, chipping means market, and norton literally means "north town". Kingham derives from the old English Caningeham, or Keingeham, from "the ham (homestead) of Caega's people".

[@prarieborn6458]

Thnak you all for the information. English place names fascinate me.

[@richardsoper777]

I love Kingham and the wild Rabbit

[@goldenineke]

I’ve always held a dream of buying a small, out of the way cottage in a less popular village in the Cotswolds. Oh well…….

[@geoffw8565]

I am told Chipping Norton is known by many now as ' Sniffing ' Norton ? What a shame our wealthy friends with their nasty wealthy 'habits' have seeped into our beautiful and wonderful ancient countryside and not for the better ?

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

You'd be right.

[@fierceperedur]

I think it looks quite nice. Ive been through that area. Who cares what that very mean critic says.

[@forestgreen916]

nice shot of stained glass window @ 6:48 time stamp

[@osptony]

"Tiny bit"?

[@Geenalee1]

Very Well done Video my friends !!!!! This Little"Gem" Of a Gentrified Town is Very Nice indeed, and Should I ever win the Loto Jackpot Some day I Shall Give it a Visit Or indeed Mabe even Move there ( to Grace them with My Richness 🤑and Upper Classiness 💅 ) ... lol .....Thanks again Robin !!!! Most Sincerely ((: Gee~Lee :)) 🤘💃🤘

[@timothyhowell8565]

What about the old school?

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

What a shame that they've cut out all the flowers. When will people get into their heads that nature is not only needed, but (in my own opinion) much better looking? I'm tired of neat lawns and weedkiller.

[@mw...]

….living garden gnomes…..

[@BeauQuillen]

Is the area friendly to Queer Jewish people like me?

[@osakarose5612]

Begone, troll.

[@dw309]

I think the real question is are you friendly to people who simply identify as British?

[@BeauQuillen]

@@dw309 What are you talking about migrants ? Jerk

[@BeauQuillen]

I believe Europe, Britain, and the United States must have fully open and free borders. In order to end the racist genocide of colonization, and the terror of white supermacy and support MY QUEER HOMECOUNTRY OF ISRAEL!!

[@DefinitelyAPotato]

To ignore the stupid answers to this, you'll be fine in the true Cotswolds. People are generally friendly.
