Exploring Yorkshire | A Drive in the English Countryside

Right after arriving in Yorkshire from London we rented a car to get a look at the picturesque English countryside on a drive over to Windermere! Beautiful!

I really enjoy seeing my country through other people’s eyes. You notice things that we just so take for granted.

[@brixtonpat]

Thanks, as a Yorkshireman I'm really happy you made it out of London, and even happier you landed in Yorkshire.. Unfortunately a lot of visitors don't bother to leave London and head up north.. I'm looking forward to your next instalment.. Cheers ✌️

[@dlittlester]

I'm Canadian and I get to Yorkshire as often as I can. Last time, on the plane home, there were a whole bunch of people from Yorkshire who couldn't understand why I would leave Canada and go to Yorkshire. I guess the grass is greener. For me, I love the antiquities, the idea of walking where Romans and Vikings walked. The moors and dales are absolutely beautiful, and as was said here, the drystone walls go for miles.

[@matt36866]

@@dlittlester Gods own county after all haha

[@dlittlester]

@@matt36866 It's my favourite place to be, aside from where I live, of course. Last time I was there (Knaresborough), I got off the train, and thought to myself, "I'm home". No idea why I thought that. I'd only been there once before.

[@Dan-B]

“It’s a national park about Lakes” That would be The Lake District xD (Also in a Yorkshire dialect the pub you visited is pronounced “Hole int wall”)

[@rebatsu]

Great to see any travellers in UK who explore more that just London. Thank you

[@PeterGaunt]

I like Eric's appreciation of the Moroccan food in the pub. The food in England, especially in pubs, has changed enormously in the past 50 years for the better.

[@T-1001]

I got the Robin Hood cartoon bit instantly as it was my favourite as a kid. Nice to see folk exploring the north of England. We tend to get forgotten or overlooked by pretty much everyone. A proud Yorkshireman

[@RedSkyHorizon]

Its funny seeing you eat that yogurt with a tea stirrer.

[@kydeanderic]

You stir your tea with a yogurt spoon?!

[@Bobario1]

No we use a tea spoon, but the thing you ate that yogurt with was a plastic hot drink stirrer. lol

[@olafpayne]

Boom!

[@alexysq2660]

**Bobario1* ~Oh, i think they were just taking the piss outta ya, there, luv ({; D ...!

[@timrobinson9192]

Loved the video , I found it very interesting from an American's perspective. So glad you left London and ventured into Yorkshire, it really is God's part of the UK with its beautiful meadows,villages,hamlets, and rolling hills. Skipton is pretty nice, myself and the wife have a friend we visit in Skipton now and again. Glad you enjoyed your step into the world of Yorkshire: Big thumbs up for the video 👍👍👍

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! -E

[@13Psycho13]

Ooh, Windermere (and the Lake District in general) is wonderful! I've been there years ago, went swimming in one of the smaller lakes during the summer. And the north of England as a whole is just great; with all the rolling hills, small mountains, the old architecture in villages and towns, 19th-century industrial factories and other engineering feats like railbridges and large watermills, all the reservoirs and the pastures and farmfields with stone demarcations and the winding roads that go through them. Just lovely. The south's nice too, of course. And then further north there's Scotland which is simply a fantasy world.

[@kydeanderic]

It was a bit too cold to swim in February, haha. But we enjoyed the scenery! -E

[@dontbethatguyy3082]

The walls you’re talking about are called “dry stone walls”. There is no cement and they rely completely on gravity and clever placement to work. Some of them are hundreds and hundreds of years old, and it’s a criminal offence to remove any stones from the walls 🙂 hope this helps

[@HerdyBert]

It's interesting you mention the dry-stone walls around the UK which are held together by nothing because many of them can be dated back hundreds or even thousands of years. Once they've been put up, they pretty much stay there.

[@whatdidsarahsay]

Love that pronunciation correction at the beginning! So nice to see you visiting Yorkshire

[@marcod1600]

This is England!

[@daggerlane]

Another great video guys, keep it up!

[@paulmoore4223]

As a yorkshireman, so glad you enjoyed it here, hope we made you feel welcome

[@thealternativeview2692]

Windermere is in Cumbria and the Lake district. It's the next county up from Yorkshire.

[@darren9445]

I love these guys - i am binging all these videos! It's great to see you trying everything and exploring so many different parts of our country. You're very positive people which is refreshing to see!

[@kydeanderic]

Glad you are enjoying! Thank you! -E

[@terryloveuk]

Pork pie... best with either English mustard or Branston Pickles (I wouldn't recommend both).

[@oscarfeatherstone6688]

I love how enthusiastic you guys are. Glad you enjoyed my country so much.

From Rotherham but live in Bournemouth now. Miss going out onto the Moors.

[@malcolmsleight9334]

I'm from Huddersfield, but live in the USA. I really do miss going onto the moors to find a pub and have a pint.

[@richardscales9560]

Good for u for getting out to other parts of the UK

[@nevillemason6791]

If you're in Yorkshire long enough you notice they still say 'thee' (Sit thee down.), 'thou' and 'yonder'. Also 'while' means until. Some years ago new notices at railway level crossings in Yorkshire had to be changed as the wording was confusing the locals: 'Stop here while lights flash'.

[@stephenphillip5656]

7:39- Hole in t' Wall. The "t" is silent but represents "the". "Hole in..Wall" Love your videos and I hope you'll both be able to do a return visit. Very glad you've explored more of England/Britain than just London. There's loads to see. Haste ye back...

[@DruncanUK]

Another great video. Thank you. Did you notice the nameplate on the seat in the Hole In T’ Wall? “Bullshit corner”! Lol, too funny. 😂

[@markpalmercomedy]

I enjoy your opinions and prospective of place's I find it interesting

[@kpas8652]

Great video guys. I've lived in North Yorkshire my whole life and are glad that tourists are starting to realise that there's more to England than London. Good stuff. (Wood pigeon shooting) no Wolves in U.K. Anymore, sadly.

[@mamalipster6923]

Loving the vid, and thanks to Eric I will now be looking for Sir Hiss to float on by with his balloon in the future videos. Have to admit that had me crying from laughter.

[@florian_kopr]

totally enjoyed,thx

[@SuperDancingdevil]

Kyde chooses beer in exactly the right way look for the strongest ABV and just go for it, I'm glad you are enjoying our countryside and hope you get to experience our better and warmer weather too.

[@tsb6396]

I enjoyed this video so much I've watched it twice back to back you really like everything British this comes across so well

[@OMGitsWEDGE]

ive been waiting for this video forever since i saw you guys were in yorkshire on instagram. its so strange to see a small little slightly grim and barren place that i call home a place that you guys consider an adventure. it has really made me reassess, and be more grateful for the stark beauty that surrounds me =)

[@kydeanderic]

There is a lot to like! -E

[@keandric2765]

Lol, grim is Not what I think of when I think of Yorkshire. I'm an American (and especially as someone from Southern California), and Yorkshire, pretty much All of Northern England, is mainly what I would want to see if I ever get a chance to travel to England. It's So Pretty! =D

[@davidtait7735]

You two are lovely people with a sense of humour and the ability to enjoy life. Great that you got to Yorkshire and the Lake District, more to see than just Lomdon. Well done.

[@ludicer122]

Woah you guys were in my neck of the woods!

[@VoltaireLerias]

Great exploration !.... I love the English countryside scenery !..... it's awesome ! (like it at #764) Greetings from USA !

[@xParesh]

Loving your videos. Going through your channel I can see you have plenty more. Hope you have a great time in England

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! Yea, we have been making videos for quite a while now, haha. -E

[@chrisrobinson7546]

What a lovely video of northern England.

[@monkeymox2544]

Video's title is "Exploring Yorkshire",and they drive to Cumbria :'D really nice video, though! Also, that bird you could hear was a wood pigeon :P

[@LeeNTien]

Nice! You seem to have chosen a very nice spot indeed to see the countryside =]

[@marcoscu]

Great video, glad to see you are exploring real England, London is another country..... If are still in Yorks then try and get to Haworth and York, both a bit touristy but a must to go see.

[@kydeanderic]

We are in Greece now, but we did hit up York! Videos coming later this month. -E

[@eleveneleven572]

Mark Webb London is like a zoo. Great to visit but you wouldn't want to live in one.

[@eleveneleven572]

That pub has a No Dogs sign. That disqualifies it as a real English country pub. It looks like a tourist trap with all that bricabrac.

[@nick260682]

Eleven : Eleven Zzzzz another thick northerner with a chip on their shoulder who doesn’t know London but loves to stick the boot in about things they don’t know.

[@KieronMiddleton]

A very refreshing video of tourists looking at the UK outside of just London. Loved it guys. Great Britain is: great scenery, great ale, great food and great people. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Look forward to more videos. The UK is a big little place.

[@kydeanderic]

You are right, there is a ton to explore! And with each season nearly everything deserves a return visit. -E

[@TonTon.2142]

Gold, as always. Life’s been busy, but I still make it a point to watch your videos, albeit a little behind the curve. It’s so great to see you guys venturing off into new countries, though I’d never grow tired of your Asian travels. Anyway, just thought I’d offer another thank you for the years of entertainment. Here’s to many more, us growing old together in our own little way. Don’t stop! Woo!

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! Glad you have been enjoying for so long! -E

[@alicedell8595]

"Little lake", lol. Windermere is the largest lake in England! To we Brits, it's massive!

[@anghinetti]

madalicex: Windermere isn't a lake....it's all in the name.

[@alicedell8595]

???

[@anghinetti]

madalicex: What's with the question marks?

[@alicedell8595]

What's with the "...isn't a lake" comment???

[@anghinetti]

madalicex: It's a mere. Only one lake in the Lake District: Bassenthwaite Lake - all others are either a mere, a tarn or a water.

[@johnedwards1685]

Wow! What lovely warm people! Welcome, with all my heart.

[@daviddodge9607]

You two crack me up in every video 😆

[@musey85]

14:02 I cracked up so hard at this! I remember feeling the same way when I studied abroad in Liverpool. I thought England was a nice, safe choice for me when picking a country to study abroad in...after all, they speak English, right?! Nothing to worry about, right?!? lmao. It took me a loooong time to acclimate to the accent.

[@SILVERCLOUD141]

Only discovered you yesterday London vlogs. Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and the banter between you two really enjoyed watching even though I knew the buildings you were taking about still watched glad to see you out of London the Cotswolds are really beautiful. Keep up the good work guys subscribed.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks, glad you found us and glad you enjoyed! -E

[@ForestGrump]

The Owl or Moose you heard are Collared Dove. Pork Pie, spiced pork shoulder in a hot water crust (yours probably needed longer in the oven ;)). The Moroccan lamb dish is a Tagine, the sweetness is dried Apricots. Great video again.

[@gasperkosmac7672]

the lakes & the village look beautiful

[@seamusc.530]

Hats off to you both....finally a vlog on ''off the beaten path" places!! After having travelled to 32 countries and seen all the boring and bad vlogs on capitals etc., it's nice to see this aspect of travel!! More please!!

[@kydeanderic]

Have a peek at our channel, we have hundreds of videos in tons of "off the beaten path" places. -E

[@edweigman9683]

That's a beautiful part of the country! Very beautiful with friendly people.

[@PaulNurse1]

That’s how I choose my beer too. You tasted some of my fave guilty foods too. A good pork pie is to die for, well baked with aspic jelly. And pork scratchings, omg, love them but I’ve never incorporated them into a meal. We normally snack them from the bag while drinking high ABV beers

[@AllieStrange]

Love how you guys always name your rental cars heh

[@jon8327]

So glad to see you guys made it to the UK....of course you won't have time to see all the wonderful places in England, Scotland. Wales and Ireland but you can always come back and visit us again :-) I love all your videos, you inspire me to travel deeper into the countryside whenever I go anywhere. Adventure!

[@tracyg5993]

i just love kyde. Alcohol content, people, it's the only way to choose the correct beverage. SAME!!!

[@KevlarOxyTheARTofVideoGames]

GO TO AMBLESIDE!!!! Just along the lake coast... you'll love it, and then go for a hike up the mountain... awesome views.

[@keandric2765]

They haven't been in England for 3 months. Lol, if you want to see where they are and what they're up to in real time, you should check out their social media stuffs! Eric's posts Something, a pic or a tweet about something they're doing in the location they're in, almost every day :))

[@KevlarOxyTheARTofVideoGames]

Ahhh ok. So they film way in advance of posting. I thought the trees looked bare and it looked cold... it's pretty warm here now lol :) Oh well, thanks for letting me know... I will check out thier social media.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, it's confusing to figure out where we are actually at, but our KZbin channel generally lags behind us by months. Video editing time and the rate at which we produce content get out of hand quite often, haha. -E

[@motorrecon200]

haha I work in Skipton lovely to see some people explore outside London

[@nigelhamilton815]

I visit yorkshire a lot to visit my brother and i love the place. People friendly with great character everywhere you look. Northumberland is also well worth a visit. Stunning scenery and wall to wall history. More tourists should follow your example and leave london behind. Well done.

[@mickb2009]

The Hole int wall is my favourite Pub in Bowness which is where you were Bowness in Windemere a pork pie isn't ( or shouldn't be ) processed Pork its pork mince with herbs and spices baked in a Hot Water Crust Pastry then filled with gelatine after its been baked The beer in the Hole is usually brilliant and the Park is the Lake District adjoined by the North Yorks Moors national park

[@Peet3]

you are highly entertaining, keep it up guys

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks Pete! Will do! -E

[@jooshungerecker-debruin5812]

Windemere, I was there too once, twenty years ago ☺

[@peterb2286]

Skipton is not far from my hometown, just over the border. Beautiful scenery up there.

[@Ribeirasacra]

We have stone field boundaries in Galicia, Spain too.

[@Oukoyami]

Kyde is so Epic the birds think she's a statue. Well done Kyde :-)

[@craigyboy196]

Yay the lake district. That is the place I live. Well just north from the lakes in a place called carlisle. The lake district is my favourite place on earth.

[@craigchastain7016]

Nice Informer reference.

[@josephclose2514]

Good to see someone who looks away from just London also whitby (near where I live) is where Dracula came from although filled to the brim with tourists!

[@SILVERCLOUD141]

Kyde has the right idea it’s always great to leave the pub in the passenger side.

[@annaparry4045]

The area with the lakes is called The Lake District.

[@AnimeStarwind]

Kady needs to get on that Disney Robin Hood!! Sir Hiss was awesome! Lol

[@cryptomoneyuk]

Nice video north England is so nice.

[@paulharrison6490]

Another sweet video. Kind of a shame you guys were here in Winter as our countryside is even more amazing in the Spring/Summer when everything turns green and lush. But totally 10 out of 10 for getting out there and exploring, experiencing and seeing as much as possible. 😊 Plenty of folks have commented already but just to reiterate, the birds calling were indeed Woodpigeon. A large native pigeon that is extremely common and not popular with farmers. Also, yes your pork pie looked pretty mediocre ha ha. I just adore pork pies, but they can vary from bland as hell to insanely yummy. Great, traditional acompliment for an ale in a historic country pub. Very British. It fills me with such joy seeing you enjoy Britain. Great choice of ale Kyde. 8.5% would give a decent punch and be flavoursome. I so wish I'd discovered your blogs or vlogs or whatever they are called when you were here as I'd so much like to have shown you round my part of Yorkshire, the East Riding or at least pointed you in the direction of some interesting places and beauty spots. Keep up the good work wherever you are now.

[@ireachy]

Ale!!! :-) You ordered brilliantly...

[@PeterGaunt]

Eric - I grew up on the north western border between the midlands and the north. Most of us there thought of ourselves as northerners. A friend and I when we were 14 helped out an 85 year old man who may have been the last man in town to have gas lighting and no electricity. When we first met him we had almost zero idea what he was was saying even though he lived 400m up the road from us. He spoke Cheshire dialect. Think of the Cajun(?) stereotype your deep south. Bizarre stuff!

[@Victoria-qb3dr]

6:22 "Oh look tourists! Photo bomb!" xD

[@xavierpaquin]

Wow, that was like riding on a bumpy road, except it was in my face

[@dartmoor1009]

You two are great !

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks!

[@vimsey8080]

Skipton is beautiful a very good choice as an alternative to a big city

[@user-wn9mn1be4u]

great video

[@garethmason9255]

Hi there.. the sound you could hear was not a Owel but a Wood Pigeon... It's a plumper type than the usual pigeon and it's diet is berries and seed's... The pies you had are pork pies yummy too... The butcher in Skipton just next to the Bridge over the canal have the best in the world might I say. Love your videos it's refreshing to live here in Skipton. your welcome here in Yorkshire anytime.

[@derby1263]

You eat a pork pie with your hands. The jelly in the pie is called aspic. Its made from boiled pigs feet. The stock from that is aspic. The pie is always served cold because they warmth melts the aspec. Its delicious

[@norwegianblue2017]

I love entering an authentic English countryside pub and ordering a bowl of "chilli nachos". LOL

[@patsybob]

When Eric said "Yorkshire" I actually thought they were going a trek through Middle Earth and that the Hobbits were calling from the Shire for help!

[@MagratheaLegend]

Great video Guys. My Bro lives in York.

[@rb93077039]

Thank you for another great video. Out of interest, when was this recorded? It looks like it was a little on the chilly side. I recommend Devon and Cornwall if you haven't been to the South West yet.

[@kydeanderic]

Shot in February, actually! It was quite cold!

[@rb93077039]

Come on down to The Westcountry. I think you'll love it, particularly now everything is becoming lush and green. Buuuut... I wouldn't recommend driving in the narrow country lanes in the properly rural areas of Devon or Cornwall - unless you like reversing half of the time to give way! :P

[@yedis1750]

Next time come on down to Cornwall!

[@dragonmac1234]

I'm a recent subscriber to these videos, I watch a lot of travel channels and KZbin recommended this one. I'm happy they did because it seems Kyde has the same attitude to alcohol as me, the stronger the better. Eric said he can't understand what my fellow English people are saying, I have the same problem with some strong American accents :)

[@kydeanderic]

Haha, I can't understand strong British accents, but mostly I was fine. But Yea, some American accents can be tough too, even for Americans.

[@futurez12]

It's funny, I'm English and my left hand is totally redundant doing pretty much any task but it feels totally natural using a gear stick. I feel like if I now tried it with my right hand it would feel so wrong, like how you felt using your left hand. I didn't know Japan drove on the left side, that's pretty weird, I thought it was just us and some of our former colonies lol.

[@hwr2590]

I appreciate tourist exploring different parts of the UK other then just London.

[@raymond2410]

Try Wastwater, once voted the best kept secret of the lakes, moody and beautiful :-)

[@peebee143]

Windermere is in the Lake District National Park. It's like a tiny, baby miniature version of Yellowstone, but without the alpha predator animals, hot springs or volcano.

[@deanlunt3895]

Very old pub very nice

[@quercus56]

The bird calling was a woodpigeon - think someone else said it was a collared dove, which superficially sounds similar.

[@MegaVector2011]

I enjoyed your observations and I like your vlogs and was eager to see your opinions on my home County. However you weren't actually exploring Yorkshire as The Lake District, .... bless it, is in Cumbria.

[@LAMarshall]

I've been to Skipton too! :D It's lovely there, awesome little town. ^_^ The national park is called (funnily enough) the Lake District. And yeah, it's one of the major holiday locations in the UK. Mainly for the summer though, haha. Don't worry about getting lost in the woods: we hunted all of the wolves and bears to extinction in the middle ages, so there's no big dangerous wildlife in the UK anymore... Also, the bird you heard at 15:50 wasn't an owl, but a wood pigeon, you'll hear them everywhere in the countryside. XD

[@kydeanderic]

We have a video about Skipton castle on the way too!

[@LAMarshall]

Awesome! The toilets in the castle were pretty funny, if you know what I mean. XD (I won't spoil it if it's in the video). ;)

[@skyprince42]

Popcorn needs some butter..🤣😂🐦🕊 ohh a nice cuzy nest..😂😂🤣

[@TheScow26]

The lake district is beautiful. Also the pronunciation of that sign is... ha ha 'hole int wall' Yorkshire accent.😂 I have been to America also and found it amazing and the slight differences. So pleased you have seen London and the real England. Most of the country is quaint and friendly. Enjoy your travels guys.👏👏👏

[@DaveBartlett]

The orignal name of "Hole in t'Wall" was "The New Hall Inn" and reportedly, the current name originated from the time before the pub was extend and the right hand side of the building housed a blacksmiths forge: The smith had a section of the wall knocked through to the pub, so that they could more directly offer him refreshment when he'd worked up a sweat from all that blacksmithing.

[@michw3755]

Great video guys, I live in Shipley West Yorkshire (glad you pronounce Yorkshire right by the way👍) and have been to Skipton many times, you should visit the castle ruins there and Haworth in West Yorkshire where the Brontë sisters lived is worth a look too. By the way you do know that Windermere is in Cumbria a totally different county right?😁

[@kydeanderic]

We have a video from Skipton coming next week! Yea, I know Windermere isn't in Yorkshire, but most of our day was in Yorkshire and we needed to "brand" things so it made sense in the bigger picture of our series. Most people won't even notice, I'd bet, haha. -E

[@michw3755]

Kyde and Eric Don't worry, I don't think hardly anyone noticed the Windermere thing, close shave though 😜

[@alexysq2660]

**Mich W* ... ({; D ....!

[@danielgardecki1046]

What you mean to say is you're from *Shipley* in *Bradford,* the *Bronte* sisters were born in *Thornton* in *Bradford,* and they spent most of their life in *Haworth* in *Keighley* in *Bradford.*

[@brianfairclough4109]

There's a good video on You Tube of pensioners arguing inside a Shipley bus shelter. I'm from Baildon.

[@CassusBeli]

Its great that you visited the north to see what remains of true England. I'm originally from West Yorkshire and have lived In London for 20 years now. It amusing to me because I'm writing this during a lunch break from booking hotels for my upcoming fourth trip to Japan. I'm not sure If you visited Whitby or York but those are historic towns worth a view, especially Whitby where Bram Stoker wrote Dracula!

[@kydeanderic]

We did York! Videos coming later this month. Enjoy Japanland! -E

[@MsCheesemonster13]

The drystone walls are generally found in northern England, while down in Dorset (in the south) we tend to have hedges. I love the drystone walls though, particularly when they are covered with moss as they look so picturesque.

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Having said that, nothing beats the Blackthorn hedging in Dorset, in the spring, when it is covered with white blossoms. Absolutely stunning!

[@eddie1134]

Thanks for being awesomeness guys

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks! -E
