Goodbye 2024 || Americans TRAVELING through the UK (Highlights) 🇬🇧

[@Topgooner01]

The Peak District is stunning, but wait until you hit the Lake District....it is hikers paradise!....and the views are simply breathtaking.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We will make that one soon. Cheers, Chris

[@kevinwhite981]

Thank you for all your great videos, love your existing enthusiasm for our country, god bess you and America 🇺🇸.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Chris

[@stephenbarnard8672]

Happy new year Jess, Chris, Colette and Shane 🎉, wow what a fantastic edit Jess, ❤. It's impossible to select a favourite but feeding those Highland cows gets me every time and the sheep coming down the lane are special moments you will have with you forever my friends. So looking forward to more adventures with you in 2025 . Thank you all so much and see you soon. xx ❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Stephen, Happy New Year, friend! I'm so thankful you enjoyed the video. It's so much fun looking back on all the fun and adventures we've enjoyed just in 2024. We're so excited to see what 2025 has in store for us. We are very thankful for all the support and love we get. It's truly amazing and so beyond blessed! We hope your 2025 holds amazing things for you. 🤍 Jess, Chris, and kids x

[@peterdavidson3890]

So nice to see your vids guys because you have shown us parts of the U.K. that WE HAVE NEVER SEEN. We will certainly miss you all when you have to leave us. Kind regards & THANK YOU.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, thank you for your love! We are very thankful for this option to see and share this beautiful island with you all. We appreciate your kindness. 🤍 Jess x

[@peckelhaze6934]

We have many sights to see in the UK and you have chosen some of the best. Happy New Year to you all.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, thank you, sweet friend! We appreciate all your love 🤍 Jess x

[@ellesee7079]

Happy New Year guys, what a great start to my year! All the green and the sunshine - oh, and the cows! If you get to the Yorkshire Dales, I would suggest Malham Cove, or Godale Scar - both great places to see. Thanks again, for sharing.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Happy New Year to you as well. We are planning on a trip there soon. We will see about those recommendations. Cheers, Chris

[@user-man-now80]

As an animal lover, the flock of sheep on the road is one of my favourite clips, its amusing, (but you must wonder where they're going), and at the same time it gives a 'warm' feeling that everything is right in the world. Bamburgh was particularly interesting, following the drive down from Scotland, as it's the central theme of a series of books that I'm reading. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, I'm with you. It was like my dream come true with them running around us. Love how they move from paddock to help with land improvement and to help with the health of the animals. We're so thankful you have really enjoyed coming along with us on our adventure. Thank you for your continued love and support! 🤍 Jess x

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

Really glad to have discovered your channel. Your enthusiasm and sheer delight at discovering what our islands have to offer is infectious, and your clear love for animals is just so heart warming. Wishing you all a very happy New Year, and good weather for your continued travels!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, we're so glad you found us as well! We love sharing our love for exploring and learning. We are so blessed to be able to share with you all. Thank you for all the love and support! Happy New Year 🤍 Jess x

[@michaelisles4756]

Happy new year to you all,love travaling round with you seeing this beautiful island we live in,will be sorry to see you leave your part of this island now love to you all ❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you so much, love! We truly have been so blessed to have this opportunity to travel and see this beautiful island. Hope you have a great 2025! 🤍 Jess x

[@abofrey]

Enjoyed all of these. Might I suggest a couple more Peak District visits for next summer. Bakewell Country Festival on Sunday 13th July 2025, maybe combined with Buxton Well Dressing Festival: July 4-13. Happy New Year! 🐑

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, thank you for sharing and the lovely recommendations! We are definitely going to go back to the Peak District. Happy New Year 🤍 Jess x

[@oliabid-price4517]

The UK may be a small nation, but we encompass a lot. Glad you enjoyed your visit, please come back anytime. Hope you help to change a lot of misconceptions about Britain when you return home. 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We're so thankful we still have time here to explore this beautiful island. We definitely do love having this opportunity to learn and explore so many places. Thank you for sharing your time with us. 🤍 Jess x

[@JeanBeech-gc4iw]

I feel so lucky to be going around the UK with you as I have visited all of these places and have thoroughly enjoyed visiting them again with you. Everywhere you go in the UK you will not be disappointed. I am now waiting to see what beauty and interesting things you can show us in the USA because we don't seem to get that type of thing and it's so interesting. Have a wonderful New Year.xx

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We're so thankful that you enjoy coming along with us to explore. We definitely feel so blessed to have this opportunity to explore such a beautiful country! Thank you for all the love and support. Happy New Year to you as well! 🤍 Jess x

[@neilscandrett7244]

Love your videos. Such a lovely family. Happy New Year ❤️

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you, love! We appreciate your support. Happy New Year 🤍 Jess x

[@archiebald4717]

By now, you know a great deal about the UK and its history. Happy New Year!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, we're thankful for this wonderful experience and opportunity to learn and see so much. It has been so amazing! 🤍 Jess x

[@petersheppard6085]

You will be at home in the US, watching the TV, and suddenly somewhere will pop on the screen, somewhere you visited, and you will feel a tug at your heart, and you know a part of you will forever be in England.....

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Oh, I completely agree my friend! It will probably cry. 🤍 Jess x

[@HeavenlyPreacher]

What wonderful adventures you have had! Happy New Year guys!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you and happy New Year to you and yours as well. Cheers, Chris

[@jamestitterton1627]

Wishing you all for the year to come. I have watched every blog. I would more Americans to visit more than London,Bath and so on. YOU ARE truly not tourist. I love how you have visited everywhere with an open mind. If possible I would love to travel your home land.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad that you have been with us for a while. We do like seeing the traditional places, however, we know getting outside those is where you start to understand the true culture. We look forward to taking you and everyone else back to see America as we do. Cheers, Chris

[@markwatson2967]

So lovely to have a recap of some of the adventures you have had and shared. For such a short time you have done so much, and truly made the most of the free time. Going back to the US will be such a new kind of adventure, even though you know it already. Here's to the next phase in your journey, the last few miles around the UK then many miles back home to a different and probably new reality for you, and the soon-to-be retired Chris, and the kids. Have a great 2025, whatever and wherever you find yourselves.💙

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed the recap. We have been able to put in quite a bit and plan on getting more this year here and in America. We wish the same to your 2025. Cheers, Chris

[@robertkirk4387]

Thanks for all your positivity and may whatever god you have will shine upon you when you go home, think of us sometime. We will remember you.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We really appreciate your support and love! This adventure has been so amazing for us. Thank you for coming along and staying along for the ride. 🤍 Jess x

[@claregale9011]

Happy new year to you and your family , you've certainly fitted in a lot, you've inspired me to go and travel more when I'm able ,I now know a lot of lovely places to visit now thanks to you . May 2025 be a happy and healthy one for all 😊❤

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Happy New Year to you and yours as well. We have fit in as much as we could and plan to keep that going. Hopefully 2025 is a great one for you as well. Cheers, Chris

[@stephenwensley]

Happy New year to you all. We stay in Castleton in the Peak District ad a walking base, lots of good walking around there. If you’re going to the Lake District read up on Alfred Wainwright and try one of his walks. The best walks in the UK are: 1 - Helvellyn, Lake District · 2 - Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Eryri (Snowdonia) · 3 - Malham Cove, North Yorkshire · 4 - Cat Bells, Lake District · 5 - Scafell Pike, Lake District 6 - Tryfan North Ridge, Eryri 7 - Buttermere, Lake District 8 - The old man of Conitson, Lake District 9 - Embleton Bay, Northumberland 10 - Mam Tor, Derbyshire (Peak District). Note, several of these will need mountain ready walking gear, the weather turns fast on top of the hills.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for all the recommendations. We will look into those. Cheers, Chris

[@Stuski666]

Happy New Year guys. I've really enjoyed your videos and love for our beautiful country. If you've got time before you return stateside I highly recommend a trip to St.Albans. It would take a couple of hours to get there from where you are. There's loads of history from Roman onwards, a beautiful cathedral and park (Verulamium). There's a ton of old pubs and eating places. I really think you'd enjoy it. Look it up. Thanks again for your great videos

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Happy New Years to you and yours as well. That sounds like a solid recommendation. We will look into that if we are able to fit it in. Sounds like a good day out. Cheers, Chris

[@rayfielding]

Happy New Year folks hope you have been first footing.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Ray, Happy New Year, friend! We hope you have a wonderful start to 2025. Thank you for all the love and support 🤍 Jess, Chris, and kids x

[@mattk5020]

Happy New Year from Torquay in the English Riviera 🎉🎉🎉🎉​@DaydreamersBarn

[@spoonunit03]

It must be quite novel to have a castle at the bottom of the street. I only have a 15th Century church next door. I feel rather underprivileged lol. 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Either way, not bad to have something like that close to your doorstep. Cheers, Chris

[@sequri]

Love the Peak District too! Partly because it’s the nearest national park for me; I can be there in less than an hour, so have done many trips in the last few years and have been surprised at what still remains to be discovered. Do try Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill btw. 😎👌

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We quite enjoyed the Peak District and plan on getting back at least once more. Thanks for the recommendations. Cheers, Chris

[@MrRawMonkey]

In the Lake District walk the circular path around Tarn Hows. The walk takes around 90 minutes and is special as it circles a small lake. Drive the Hardknott Pass but only if you are brave. Remember the northern Lakes are more rugged than the Southern Lakes which is more popular. Windermere can get very busy.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Love all the recommendations, friend! We truly appreciate your time sharing with us, friend. 🤍 Jess x

[@MindyerownBusiness-s4d]

I love how much you have enjoyed your stay and your enthusiasm and appreciation of this land, often we Brits do not appreciate what we have and any sense of national pride is mocked. Your videos have been a great inspiration to get out and explore. Thank you for your videos and good luck in the next chapter of your lives

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad that you enjoyed the video. This country has a lot to give and we enjoy going out and seeing it. Cheers, Chris

[@TheCornishCockney]

If the weather is decent before you leave,try and get down to Cornwall,especially Kynance Cove. Utter beauty.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for the recommendation, we do want to make it back to Cornwall again. Cheers, Chris

[@craigpickering803]

Hi Jess & Chris! I've only recently discovered your vlogs and have really enjoyed them. I'm in Felixstowe on the Suffolk coast. I love your enthusiasm for everywhere you visit, especially your reaction approaching Lincoln! I've been to many places you've visited but the Monsal trail is on my 'to do' list. I haven't been to Baylham Farm even though it's 20 minutes away! I have walked past it on the footpath next to the river! Happy New Year and keep posting!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are glad you have found the channel. We would for sure recommend checking out the farm and if the trail is already on your list, do it. It was well worth it. Happy New Year to you and yours as well. Cheers, Chris

[@williamdom3814]

Edale is to be recommended in the Peak District. You missed out on Matlock Bath when you failed to take the right turn in Matlock and Cromford a bit further on (just outside of the Peak District but a World Heritage site).

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for the recommendation. We will look into that for another trip back. Cheers, Chris

[@PhilLomas-v9x]

Try Edale and Blue John Mines. Also the walk along the ridge path from Mam Tor. The start of the pennine way is from Jacobs Ladder near this area.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Love all the wonderful recommendations! Thank you, friend 🤍 Jess x

[@Patrick-fo9he]

Also if you haven’t already I highly refined whitby the costal town and home of Dracula in the UK. It’s a stunning town

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Fantastic, we love and appreciate the recommendation. I will definitely look to plan a trip. 🤍 Jess x

[@willswomble7274]

Best wishes for a happy New Year from a fan in North Devon!

[@LordParkin]

Hi guys, HNY to you all. Loving the vids, I find them really heart warming. If you make it back to Yorkshire, I recommend Brimham Rocks and Nidderdale. Beautiful.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, we're so glad you enjoy coming along on our adventure. We definitely feel super blessed to have the most amazing friends to share with. Also, thank you for the recommendations. We will definitely try to visit them all. We hope you have a wonderful 2025! 🤍 Jess x

[@richardfalkner4098]

Great wrap up video for 2024. Loved it. Some walks I enjoyed, though in Cheshire rather than Yorkshire are the two castles Beeston and Peckforton Castles Circular walk and also the Cloud at Congleton. The Edge at Alderley Edge is good too. It’s a short walk to a cliff in the middle of the Cheshire plain. A great view and a place with a legend of witchcraft which is oddly so easy to get lost in.

[@woodentie8815]

Great compilation of your various visits to some of the picturesque places in the UK👍- maybe many of us have been gently reminded that this land has many sights worth seeing?🙂

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Friend, we're so thankful for this opportunity and so happy you enjoyed all of our adventures! Thank you for sharing your time with us all the time you do. 🤍 Jess x

[@robharris8844U]

You have certainly got around the UK. Hope you can come back to Northern England in spring before you go back to US .🫠 Happy New Year 🎉 Malham cove, High force, Mother Shiptons cave and Cauldron snout await 😮

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you friend. We love exploring and we will definitely be back in the north very soon. We really appreciate your recommendations. 🤍 Jess x

[@ShelleyAnderson-g9g]

Monsal Trail, Dovedale. Malham Cove.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Fantastic, thank you for the recommendations. 🤍 Jess x

[@anitaherbert1037]

The coast to coast

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Good idea, friend! 🤍 Jess x

[@RonSeymour1]

A beautifully put-together video as usual. It is quite a journey but you seem used to that, but I do recommend Lyme Regis in Dorset. It is on the Jurassic coast and home to the discovery of fossils by Mary Anning. Every now and then marine fossils erode out of the cliffs as well as older ammonites, for example. Those cliffs go back millions of years through the world's geology. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. Looking forward to more of your travels. Try Shrewsbury in Shropshire, or Ironbridge. You will love them.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Glad you enjoyed the video. That does sound like a great recommendation. To see something with that much history would be wild to see in person. We will see if we cannot work that in to the schedule. Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers, Chris

[@RonSeymour1]

@DaydreamersBarn The French Lieutenant's Daughter was filmed there. Be warned, the main car park is at the top of the cliffs. There is a lovely walk from the river Lyme, the sea outlet, back up to Uplyme. All uphill though.

[@LADYDOBBS67]

Oh wow, I gave this video a like even before i started to watch because I knew instantly it was gonna be great 🙏 all those great memories ❤ thanks for sharing them ❤ they have made me so relaxed and calm watching them all 😊 🏵🌹🌻🌼🌷🪻⚘️ Happy New Year Jess,Chris and kids 🎉 from Angie a very happy subscriber 😊❤❤❤

[@adriangoodrich4306]

Really nice recap of some of your walks - I can remember all of them like yesterday, which shows how quickly this year has gone! And you still have so much yet to see - but I bet you find this year, too, just flies and you'll be leaving us in what will feel like no time at all now :( You wanted some ideas for hikes and walk-rounds? How long have you got? ;) But, having seen the type of walk you enjoy and mindful that you will probably always be limited on time and not likely to want really big climbs, some I would highlight (mostly, try and get a clear day!) - in each case, the first is perhaps the one I think you might enjoy the most. Lakes: The surprisingly high-up so-scenic walk round Tarn Hows - THE money shot - and nearby beautiful Hawkshead village with all its alleys and passages; the beautiful walk round Buttermere; Catbells for a hill walk with great views; Orrest Head, above Windermere (the views!); Grasmere village...where to stop? Peak District: Castleton and the caves, the Winnats pass and (high-level) Mam Tor (several walks and lots of attractions); Eyam village (attractive village, major history); Dovedale - so scenic; Chatsworth (you wanted to go this last time, and the grounds are beautiful); The Roaches... Yorkshire Dales: Malham, Malham Cove, Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar and Malham Tarn (One absolutely outstanding long, or plenty of shorter, beautiful walks; Bolton Abbey and Strid Wood; Grassington; The walk up Ingleborough from Clapham, or at least the lower part of it with loads to see, and ideally nearby Ingleton Falls as well... Mid-Pennines: Saltaire World Heritage Site (for the architecture and history and so much else to see); Haworth, and Haworth Moor (for the Bronte history, Worth Valley Railway and again so much else); Hebden Bridge and Hardcastle Crags (history and scenery and again, so much else). (I can walk to the first two from my house, and the third is not that far...) North York Moors: Sutton Bank (needs a clear day - for the amazing views); North York Moors railway - walk some and ride some? Hutton le Hole (like a Cotswold village; Whitby; Staithes... Just some that immediately come to mind, that seem consistent with your videos. Ideally you would pick an area and stay over, since otherwise far too much driving I think? Be warned, though - everywhere I listed can be pretty busy with tourists, and in quite a few of those places parking is very much at a premium, especially at weekends and in the school holidays. Anyway, you'll never get to all those! And there is SO much to see round and about them as well. But maybe a handful, before you go? You can check them all out online, of course, to see if any appeal and may be practicable? And anyway - happy new year y'all! It looks like it is going to be a really exciting one for you all!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Adrian, Great to hear from you. It does seem like the year has flown by, and yes by the time we blink, we will be headed back towards the good old US of A. How it will be bittersweet, there will be parts that we are sad to see go, and others we will be very excited to see when we get there. That being said, the recommendations are great. They are actually focused on some of the areas we have been discussing and looking forward to going to. We do appreciate you taking the time to consider what would be best for our situation, driving and all that. Consider us warned, we will try to see about getting there in the offseason if possible, or on American holidays to keep the crowds down. Happy New Year to you and yours as well. Cheers, Chris

[@adriangoodrich4306]

@DaydreamersBarn I'm sure there are plenty of us on here, who could variously give you some info on specific places they are familiar with? If you ever felt you needed it. Do you have the ordnance Survey Maps app on your phones? Unbelievable value, and the OS 25,000 scale maps are pretty essential for getting the best out of our countryside IMO.

[@Patrick-fo9he]

Happy new year really enjoyed watching your vids : ) hope you have enjoyed our country

[@DaydreamersBarn]

[@carolinemcleod-i2c]

Hi Jess Chris & family Next time you’re in the Peak District please visit Castleton in the Hope Valley Winnats pass MamTor Blue John mine Snake Pass Derwent Dam Edale & more.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That sounds like a great recommendation. Cheers, Chris

[@jamescarpenter3296]

You guys should visit Doncaster it is very historical and has beautiful sites

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thanks for the recommendation. Cheers, Chris

[@regd.2263]

Happy New Year to all. Do you know that the main roads in most towns and cities in the UK went through the centres. Now there are ring roads and bypasses. Stevenage old town is a good example the A1 trunk road went straight through the middle originally, now it's bypassed. The A1 is the longest road in the UK from London to Edinburgh 410 miles long.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Happy New Year to you and yours as well. It is interesting to see the differences with how it used to be with how traffic flows today. Cheers, Chris

[@richardhargrave6082]

You need about a week to cover the Duxford Museum!

[@DaydreamersBarn]

That would be very expensive, my friend. We definitely recommend from open to close to try and experience it all. 🤍 Jess x

[@PhilLomas-v9x]

Hi Jess and Chris, have you visited Chatsworth House? It's in the Peak District and we'll worth a visit.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We are definitely going to check it out. 🤍 Jess x

[@PhilLomas-v9x]

Have you done the Lake District? Great country and walks. North Wales has some great mountains.

[@DaydreamersBarn]

We definitely love the Lake District and North Wales! 🤍 Jess x

[@mj7613]

You should visit the Roman baths 😊

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Sounds like a good suggestion. Cheers, Chris

[@brigidsingleton1596]

I'm surprised after all the time you have spent in the UK, that you still mispronounce Edinburgh as "Edinboro" !! It's 'Edinburr'. Anyway, Happy New Year to you all. I hope you'll be able to return to the UK in the not too distant future and maybe visit the Scilly Isles? (pronounced 'Silly' Isles) ... and, have you been to the Isle of Wight? (Pronounced like 'white' but minus the 'aitch' of course!!) Plus the Isle of Man? The Scilly Isles are off to the West of Cornwall, The Isle of Wight is just across the Solent - which is the stretch of water between that island and naval city of Portsmouth, in the county of Hampshire, on the South coast of England (facing France, across the English Channel) and the Isle of Man sits between the West coast of England and Ireland in the Northern part of the Irish Sea. Have a great 2025, hope to see you again soon. Stay safe. Stay healthy and happy and... "Come back soon!"

[@DaydreamersBarn]

Thank you for sharing all the insight and recommendations with us. We are sure we will be back so many times. 🤍 Jess x
