I went to that pub when I was 15 with two friends. It was February and we caught the bus up from London. Then we walked around the Peak District. We hiked from Castleton, over Mam Tor, and down into Edale. It was pouring with rain and we were soaked. The locals let us sit by the fire and steam dry! Then, when the rain passed, we carried on to Snake Pass and stayed at the hostel. The next day, the snow came. By the time we got to the highest point of Snake Pass, the snow was thick. There were no cars, but there was a BBC news van filming the weather for the news. They made these three freezing-cold kids a cup of tea. It was an amazing trip.

[@alecquail9275]

Hi Joel, another great video, glad you enjoyed Derbyshire. The reason you are able to hike around areas such as the Peak District is because of the mass trespass on Kinder Scout in 1932. The public outcry at the rough treatment of some of the young people involved led to the principle of public access to such places. You might also take a look at the village of Eyam (pronounced Eem) in the Derbyshire Dales not far from Edale, which in 1665 isolated itself to try to contain the spread of bubonic plague. A huge number of the village’s population died as a result. The history of both these events is worth checking out.

I have lived in the Peak District for nine years surrounded by beautiful countryside and moorland, and every time I step outside I still feel like I'm on holiday. So pleased you've had good weather and enjoy the rest of your vacation. 😁

Living your best life at the best time to be doing it, what a treasure trove of memories you are building, great videos.

[@ShazDoo]

It warms my heart that you love our country so much…great videos💕

[@davidharrison28]

I hope your so proud of our countryside as we are,

[@hobi1kenobi112]

It's the real England, well away from all the political fighting, people whinging and carrying on. Once you're out immersed in it the daily grind and drama seems a world away. ❤

What is it to be proud about?

[@AngelaHall-sq9ps]

I’m so glad that you love our England ❤

[@LittleNoiseBoy]

Glad you made it to these Islands, Dude, and very pleased that you're enjoying it. Thanks for all your kind words. Happy travels! :-)

We were in Edale on Wednesday, a good friend myself and my dog, we went in to both of those pubs, sadly the weather wasn't as good as what you happened across, but the scenery was still stunning. Take a look at Eyam (plague village), it resonates now particularly, I'll let you find out why, and those people lived, so close to where you were, it gives you an idea of the people who live in the area and those around there, great video.

I have lived both abroad and in the UK and travelled widely. But there is no doubt that both England and France probably have the best 'countryside landscapes' in the world.

[@topguydave]

Germany too.

[@juliewillard1367]

I agree

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

We would spend pretty much every weekend in the Peak District when I was a kid, it's stunningly beautiful wherever you go, and on the edge of several major cities, so easy to access by car, train, bus and bike. Heavenly views over the dales, with a view almost anywhere you look. Glad you enjoyed!

You should consider going to the Forest of Bowland, fantastic scenery within minutes of Manchester. You can even get your fill of Witches Not as touristy as the Peek district or Lake District

The best way to see the British Countryside is on foot. Combine that with a British Country pub, and it's a match made in heaven. Great video👍

[@gdok6088]

One of the great things about the UK is that a short train ride or drive from most cities you can be in stunningly beautiful countryside. I have a choice of the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales for the North Yorkshire National Park all within very easy reach. In my teens and early twenties a group of us Youth Hosteled our way around all of these, the Lake District and beyond. We are truly blessed to live in this 'green and pleasant land'. Great to see you so happy Joel :)

Welcome back to my neck of the woods, Joel. Manchester is a great city and the Peak District is so beautiful. I think you'll love York too, a very historic city.

[@davidbolton8798]

Living in Britain we take for granted our history and countryside but if Brits really stopped to appreciate what we have here and you do it tremendous justice with your vlogs

[@fd6944]

Yes! Magical English Countryside! It never ceases to amaze me, straight out of a fairytale.

[@kelvinlambert4249]

Fantastic. Wonderful to see you having the time of your life. The secret to a happy life is appreciating every breath of air you take and you have that gift and the ability to share it. Thought your eyes were going to pop out of your head when you tasted that Bakewell Pudding. ❤

[@Stringtrees]

The peak district is indeed a stunning part of the country , I am glad you have had a taste of it (in more ways than one).

[@marionpetford7374]

What a lovely video Looking at the beautiful English countryside And I bet that beer tasted great my husband used to say it never touched the sides glad you enjoyed your time in uk again ❤

[@ChadeGB]

This is what I always enjoy most when coming back to the UK after being away abroad on holiday, seeing the lush green patchwork of rolling hills as you fly back over the country, then driving through them on your way home. Visiting other countries is nice, but returning home always reminds you how beautiful the UK countryside really is.
