Fun (or unwanted) fact..... Bath is nestled within 7 hills, just like Rome! The river with the narrowboats is the River Avon. It starts in the Cotswolds and flows south into Wiltshire and Somerset (through Chippenham and Bradford) and then back north and west through Bath and Bristol. There is a canal at Bath which links it to the River Kennet which flows into the Thames, so you can boat from the Atlantic, through England and London to the North Sea.

[@krisjonesuk]

In the UK and throughout Europe you’ll find many of the traditional buildings are made out out of the materials that were available locally, hence all the stone buildings in Bath. Edinburgh is similar. In the Cotswolds you find some made of flint. In London many Victorian buildings were built with bricks made of London clay, which were originally a yellow colour. I now live in a city with an eleventh century castle. About 400 years ago they tried to blow it up to obtain the stones because of a shortage of local building material. They didn’t succeed and the castle is now a museum.

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

Cotswold stone (that most buildings are made from) is a yellow Oolitic* (Jurassic period) Limestone... It was taken mostly from the surrounding Cotswold hills. *Oolitic limestone is made up of small spheres called 'ooiliths' that are stuck together by lime mud. They form when calcium carbonate is deposited on the surface of sand grains rolled (by waves) around on a shallow sea floor. 👍 🇬🇧

My grandparents lived in Bath for about 20 years before having to go back to live near London due to their age/health (went in nursing home) and needing to be closer to their children.

I think you have to treat this trip as a taster for when you come back next time. Dashing round with a day in each place means you see the main tourist sites, but not much of anything else, and it's usually the 'anything else' that really makes the trip interesting. Bath is great, but like Bath more than London just really highlights how much of London you didn't see. The UK can be difficult, as it's often the smaller towns and cities that are more interesting than the big cities, simply because most of the big cities are industrial.

[@lynjermey6423]

Love your enthusiasm and interest in everything you see. Britain has many beautiful places. Glad you had a positive trip.

[@tillycox-thompson780]

It's normal for no air conditioning in UK buildings. I hope you enjoyed your stay here in bath. It's so strange seeing you walk around my home city!

[@farhanrahman7119]

Bro you're good at this vlog format,if you read this,you may have a serious talent for travel vlogging!maybe u can do vlogs in other interesting places after the UK🔥

[@john_smith1471]

Yes like other posters was surprised at the mis-prononciation, Reading Pennsylvania USA has its name taken from the original Reading, Berkshire, England.

[@richjermy7930]

Beautiful Bath - I’ve been there many times. It’s great to see you two really appreciating the city and the landscape.

[@improvesheffield4824]

Yay!!! Congratulations on 50,000 subscribers Joel!🤩🥳👏🏼🤩🥳👏🏼🤩🥳👏🏼 I’m glad it cooled off for you in Bath; the cooler weather is much more conducive to walking around.😰 That meal looked delicious and has made me very hungry. Glad to see you didn’t get totally pissed up on your night out, I was hoping you’d get some video footage on your camera phone, although you did the right thing not taking your camera in. That kind of interaction with those lads is often typical in this country. It’s still strange to see people filming while talking into a microphone so they may have been genuinely interested in your KZbin channel or just triggered by what they may have thought were a couple of random College geeks making naff videos for some naff college course (their possible attitude, not mine). Glad it didn’t spoil your visit and you certainly looked like you had a great night! Oh yeah, just been listening to you attempting to speak brooad Yarksha ont’ YO1 radio. Tha’ sounded arreight fo’ first bit then tha’ lost it second bit and sounded like a Viking invader (which is probably what the Yorkshire dialect sounded like 1000 years ago, so you may have sounded more authentic than we do today!)👍🏼 Here it is for anyone else who would like to listen. player.autopod.xyz/200949 As usual, I can’t wait for the next instalment!😎

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

A big THANKS for the radio interview... Anyone who wants to listen should start at 00:18 minutes in... 👍🇬🇧

[@JamesBrown-sk5zn]

I was under the impression that "got in at 3am and slept in the stairwell" == "got seriously pissed" :D

[@improvesheffield4824]

Except he clearly wasn’t in an inebriated state when he was talking to camera on the stairs.

[@robertmcross1]

Wow look at the number of views & comments! Amazing video guys, love watching your experience in the UK and how you view us brits👍

[@matthewgoddard9631]

Greetings from a Brit, currently living in Berlin. 🇩🇪Just come across your vlogs. Absolutely love them! Hope you’re enjoying your UK trip.

[@susiepoulter4548]

It wonderful to see two young men appreciate the the finer things in life.

[@tsimeone]

Great to see you on your travels, bath is so beautiful. Used to live just down the road in Somerset.

[@rjs23565]

These blogs are more exciting that Harry Potter. Glad you appreciate the city of Bath. Pity you missed Royal Crescent which is quite spectacular so much so that it often appears in tv in period dramas. I think you missed so much because your itinerary is so packed. Less is more sometimes ! Anyways looking forward to the next exciting instalment of Joel and Will taking the UK by storm lol.

[@roynewport5397]

I live in Bath , Not sure we've ever had 100 degrees and I live close to that view point which I walk my dog to everyday and it certainly isn't the highest point in Bath , glad you enjoyed our city though.

[@oliverpengilley]

awww my home town! :) born and raised there. That first view of Bath is where you go each year to watch the bonfire night fireworks for free.

[@uncoolmartin460]

Hi guys, I'm enjoying the videos, good to see you enjoying your trip. It seems like a lot of travelling but you seem to be making it work for you. I've never been to Bath but have heard stories of it. Glad you got to see the canal and some narrow boats, if you like peace and quiet you'll enjoy a walk along the towpaths. The canal is The Kennet & Avon branch and goes west to east across the country, it joins the grand union canal that travels north to south (London to Birmingham) so you can travel a large part of the country using the canals but it might take some time. The Kennet & Avon canal is apparently very beautiful. One I hope I may travel it myself.

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

Bath is a beautiful city! My brother was an exchange student there in the early 2000´s and he has fond memories of this city. Sorry to hear that the hostel wasn´t the most optimal one but looks like you guys had a good time nonetheless, and that restaurant looked amazing, as did the food! And you simply can´t beat the views you get on hikes in the UK either! :)

[@RG-jj7yz]

I'm a Londoner. Great channel! Love your enthusiasm. Oh, the energy to be 19 again! Was a bit short in London.. There's loads to see. Even I haven't been to the Cotswolds yet! Mainly Brits are lovely and friendly.. And don't smoke..! Enjoy your trip and take care! R.

[@planekrazy1795]

The River is The Avon it is connected to the River Kennet via (you guessed it) the Kennet & Avon Canal and ends up in the Thames at Reading.

[@andyonions7864]

Check out Travelodge hotels if you're still about. They go down to about 33 quid a night. You can get a family room for the same price (usually), for which you get a double and two singles. En-suite and no sharing... High quality and great value for the money.

[@Zenconfirmed]

You guys are great to watch hope you have a wonderful time.

[@goldenboyproductions2740]

Love Bath so much, I was there myself 4 days ago, a stunningly beautiful and safe city.

[@lindylou7853]

You missed Swindon! Yay! One time I went to Bath, the train was stopped by cows on the line, so you were lucky. My colleague spent a good while pointing out the good stock as she’d raised cows in the States. You go to bath for the baths. The Roman baths. Also, the famous Royal Crescent. Seems like you missed those. Bath - that’s the river Avon, one of Britain’s biggest rivers. It links in with the canal system.

[@baconoverflow4384]

As an american who grew up in the UK I love these vids! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@nickk8762]

So glad you enjoyed the UK. Living here I tend to take it for granted. Great vlogs! Looking forward to the next one. Cheers! 😆

[@Bessie66]

Lovely to see the excitement when you see landmarks- I’m sure here in Britain we’d be the same in America 🇺🇸 enjoy 👍

[@Gadgetonomy]

You've inspired me to visit Bath, it's only a 4hr drive from here. If I climb that hill I will remember you two for sure.

[@simstig1]

Casually seeing Joel walking passed my work place has killed me off - shouldn’t of listened to my teachers regarding not staring out of the window. Use the Trainline mate for train info - solid as a rock. Keep going.

[@grlth]

Should have listened to your teachers when they taught you "should have, not should of!" Sorry, had to say it.

[@zcustard]

Good shout....'The Trainline' is an app, and really useful.

[@fashiondoll5158]

Did you see the Roman baths in Bath

[@KempSimon]

Or the Royal Crescent? Or Bath Abbey? Or Sally Lunn's Tea Rooms?

[@serenabrent8832]

The very steep steps leading to Alexandra Park where you was looking at the views of Bath, is called Jacob's Ladder (which having lived in Bath all my life, I'm embarassed to say I've never climbed). Next time you come to Bath, have a ride on the red tour bus that takes you around the city, and its skyline (which you can walk, but its about six miles long). You really need a week to see everything. You can get a really good view of Bath from Sham Castle as well. Your reacton to the views, have made me truly appreciate where I live.

[@robertcroft8241]

As A Brit living most of my life in the USA , I am still amazed at the ignorance of the outside world that most Americans have. Like the French, they don't have Passports, and never travel , unlike the 4.5 Million Brits who visit the USA every year. (These Brits also, on cheap trips to Florida, never meet Educated and Cultured Americans) , so the mis-understandings can work both ways.
