Great Britain 🇬🇧 retains its historic places so beautifully. The Cotswolds is a magnificent place Id love to live in. The peacefulness and charm is unmatched by anything we have in America. I’m so thankful for your videos Chris 🙏🏻Thank you for this amazing visit 🌟💙🌟

[@conniewilkinson9347]

It's not that America can't match the charm. It's that you are subconsciously remembering your past life there with nostalgia. ;-)

[@conniewilkinson9347]

@@ernestj3081 If you believe the Americas have no history, then that's because you can't bother yourself to learn about it. Granted (for the most part) it's not the history of the deplorable caste system & filthy living conditions of the 'medieval' period in Europe, but it's still historic and was more populated than much of Europe. While in modern times, it is true that a lot of developers build a lot of tall towers & business developments over old building sites, they are also required to stop if anything of a historical nature is found so it can be properly dug out, preserved & studied before, if at all, they can restart construction. However, most of out pre-European history was already destroyed by a lot of the first Europeans after Columbus, particularly the French, Spanish, Portuguese and other Catholics, when they tried their damnedest to obliterate what ever historic records, art objects, buildings and other artifacts they found because they considered them 'blasphemous' and heretical. All the while plundering as much gold & other valuable jewels & metals they could carry away.

Well done! I'm so glad for this - been donkey's years since I was in Stow - the little alleys are for sorting & counting the sheep, back in the Middle Ages when sheep was king in this neighbourhood & they would sell them in the market square. Thanks so much for going in the Porch House, that door is incredible. You probably could have asked someone there if there is any remains of the original structure - the fire place is lovely but obviously younger - but would be interesting to have seen if there are any visible remains. I'm sure it's here that there used to be an amazing bakery - but could be Burton - there are SOOOO many amazing towns & villages to explore here, take you the rest of the year to check them all out methinks! Have fun & keep cool - remember to check out the local ale & eats!

Funny in England if you travel for 30 miles in any direction you'll run into a Free House that claims to be "The Oldest Pub in England!!!". Yeah. Maybe.

[@foreverblueclassics]

The Cotswolds is a lovely part of the country. If you're still in the area Bourton-on-the-Water is a place I'd recommend. For such a small village it has so much to do - The Motor Museum, Birdland, the Model Village and the maze, all within about 10 minutes walk at most from each other. And it's a beautiful little place, like most of the towns and villages down that way (I live just over an hour from the area).

Bourton-on-the-Water is indeed beautiful--it can be a bit crowded in summer. Smaller villages worth a visit include Broadway, Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter, and Upper Swell and Lower Swell. ("Slaughter" means a marshy or boggy area; the word is related to Slough or Slew.) Also, Burford, the so-called Gateway to the Cotswolds, is beautiful. If you are touring and want to explore a little bit south and east, and also love odd place-names, try the little villages along the Wallop Brook, on a side road from the main road from Salisbury to Winchester. Nether Wallop (yes, that really is its name) is the most picturesque. Thatched cottages alongside a clear brook where wild watercress grows ...

Kate Winslet lives somewhere In the Cotswolds plus other Celebs. Don`t you just love History? I do.

[@elainechubb971]

Two main areas where there are very beautiful small towns and villages that retain a lot of old buildings, with an overall harmony of architecture, are the Cotswolds and East Anglia. Both were of importance in the sheep raising/wool yarn producing/weaving industry that was important to England's economy in the Middle Ages and Tudor periods. The towns became rich and could afford handsome churches and municipal buildings, as well as homes and shops. Then when the cloth industry declined in importance population did not grow, and new building declined, so the old town centers remained very much unchanged. The beauty of the honey-colored Cotswold stone that you mention was important in creating the harmonious blend of buildings. Chipping Camden is another, similar market town. Lavenham in Suffolk is an example of a beautiful old town in East Anglia.

Hi Mobile Instinct, great videos as always. A small piece of info for you, every city, town, & village in the UK has in it's centre a monument to the men from that area who fought in the first world war. Every city, town, & village has one and they all contain the names of the men who served. Many smaller towns & villages lost many if not all the men from that area ending generations of families. If you look you will find them. They look almost like the civil war one in this video. Thanks for the awesome content on both your channels dude.

[@nickmiller76]

A couple of points. Firstly, UK war memorials typically feature the names of those that died. Those who served but were not killed are remembered of course, but their names are not usually found on war memorials. Secondly, it is not true that "many" towns and villages lost "all" their men. That would be highly unusual. The idea that there was a "lost generation" is actually a romantic myth, not that I'm trying in any way to under-sell the sacrifice many families in the UK made during the Great War, mine included.

[@margaretlavender9647]

@@nickmiller76 Yes this is very true. War memorials have only the names of those who died in WW1 and WW11.

[@michellebyrom6551]

The old cobblestones were bad for modern car suspension so most have been removed from places with a lot of traffic. The Royal Mile in Edinburgh is the exception. If you look closely at the ground at the start of this video you can see that it has a modern, very smooth, cobbled surface. Brick rather than stone. That and the double yellow lines at the roadside for no parking tells me it's a pedestrianised area. Traffic will be limited, particularly during the day, to deliveries only. Historic cobbles aren't wheelchair and pushchair friendly. This feels a bit strange to me but it's what has been happening all over GB in recent decades. The street is too empty. In times past, business owners would have literally lived above their shop. That would have meant children playing and adults socialising outside business hours.

Wait till what switches? The Pound has always been worth more than the US Dollar. By a lot, in the past. The Pound has sunk quite a bit. In the 90s I had a few Pound coins someone brought me from their trip and at the time, a UK Pound was worth around $1.70. And that was during one of the best economies of the past 50 years in the US. Economically speaking, this is probably the best time in a long time to move from the US to England. Though, they aren't doing all that great economically since they foolishly left the EU and will probably dip quite a bit more in coming years. But compared to where the US is headed, it's never been a better time.

[@cplcabs]

Leaving the EU was not a foolish thing to do. The UK now has more trading agreements in place than the EU with a back door to the worlds largest trading bloc (not the EU) which the UK will be a part of fairly soon in the future. In addition, the UK can set its own path again rather than having unelected buerocrats in Brussels telling the UK what to do. In addition, the UK doesn't have to pay billions a year to be a member of the EU which gave little back. You should know that no economy is doing well in the world, mainly because of the events of the past 2 years i.e. the pandemic. The UK pound will drop a little yes, but it will certainly go back up. The EU and Euro are headed for disaster, the EU is becoming more and more draconian as time goes by and its member states have growing anti EU resentment in them. As an example the EU are fining Poland a million Euros a day for non compliance over Polands judicial system, which is Poland's business not the EUs. Italy is in a financial crisis and will unlikely bow to EU bail out rules as Greece did because of what the EU did to Greece..and the list goes on

Living in quite old properties is normal, and the majority of people will live in an older home at some point in their lives.

One dollar and 19 cents equals one UK Pound.

How much is a Euro?

[@Ballinalower]

@@samanthab1923 Almost the same as a USA dollar

[@samanthab1923]

@@Ballinalower Thanks 😊

[@Ballinalower]

@@samanthab1923 I may have been a bit confusing. The Euro and the USA dollar are worth the same as each other.

[@samanthab1923]

Are there any instances, that you know of, in this town of time slips where someone walked into a store and momentarily experienced the store of the past? Just asking.

[@Corgis175]

Love this 600 year old town. Would love to live there.

[@heatherstephens9295]

Isn’t it fabulous!!

How wonderful it must be to live your life in such a place.

Once there was a YHA here and me and my Dad stayed in it. It was old and dark but it had a lot of charm. That was in the olden days when they handed out what they called "sleeping sheets" and you just had to make do. All gone now, I'm afraid.

[@elainechubb971]

I am sorry to hear the old youth hostels are "all gone"--nation-wide or just in Stow? I have fond memories of youth hosteling back in the early 1960s!

I adore England and the city wall cottages are beautiful, hopefully you get to visit there.
