HOLKHAM HALL, Norfolk, England - (Dix Trips - Vol.44)

[@roberthossen8354]

Thank you!! A wonderful country house and thank God it remains preserved!!!

[@carolweaver3269]

Absolutely an exquisite home! Those now whom care for this home, may have a large endeavor, and yet it just must be such a "gift" to have that opportunity given them?

[@mgmassey174]

Enjoyed the understated vocals. It showcased the material . As travel is now beyond my abilities,I truly appreciate the vicarious travel experience. It would be nice to do a series on the vast dialects in UK. Lived in Wales. Was fascinated with the various ways English was spoken and how musical Welsh was

There's a great channel on KZbin:. Let Them Talk covers all the British accents. A lot of fun!

This is lovely, it's great to stumble across Holkham on KZbin! It was my favourite place growing up in Norfolk, the nature reserve is also wonderful. The mispronunciation was jarring but I see others have already picked up on that, it didn't detract from the video though. Great work! :)

Thank you very much. An informative video of a grand house with a likable guide.

The Elysian fields [ Elysium] mentioned by the hall manager in the explanation of the painting derive from Greek, not Roman mythology

Das Elysion (lat.: Elysium) bedeutet "Insel der Seeligen". Dorthin wurden jene Helden geschickt, die die Götter entweder liebten oder Unsterblichkeit schenken wollten.

[@paulwilfridhunt]

Thank you

[@maxitown7]

Glad the narrator finally ends up pronouncing Holkham properly. Hollcum, not Hocum.

[@nigeldick]

Dear Maxitown7 - This is the Narrator. Thanks for the heads up on that. Interestingly I spent many years of my youth in Norfolk and obviously showed the finished piece to a number of folk at the Holkham estate and friends who have lived in Norfolk all their lives and you're the first person to remark about my mispronunciation. My apologies. If I ever need to redo the piece for any reason I'll take your advice on board. Thanks for watching.

[@maxitown7]

Dear Nigel, enjoyed the film, it is a lovely place. Lots on interesting facts too. Sorry to be pedantic, but good to hear the last 3 or 4 times you got it right. all best wishes.

what about price ??

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

Not for sale

[@tamaracarter1836]

It’s still owned by the same family that built it; currently the 8th Earl of Leicester and his wife the Countess of Leicester, along with their four children.

Very good. But. No mention of where the cash came from!

Hokeum? Holkham - the l is not silent and the o as in box.

[@nigeldick]

Dear J E Lee, You might want to read my response to "maxitown7" three years ago. (see below). Once again my apologies...and no-one from Holkham called me out on it when I presented them with the first cut.

[@jelee5240]

@@nigeldick The Coke family (pronounced Cook!) are maybe too polite! I did notice as I listened all the way through you did revert to Holkham without Holk rhyming with folk. I doubt there are many 'ordinary' local people left in the Holkham area now, so no surprise that no-one 'called you out' on it. I did enjoy your narration though. Also thank you for your reply - Jane (another pedant/peasant).

The little train at Wells closing, Holkham Estate unwilling to renew lease, they claim train not suitable for today's visitors, my kids love the train. Holkham Estate becoming too greedy, they shouldn't forget they receive taxpayers money to support their farming.
