[@choochoo9506]

What a way to wake up! It's 6:00 am here in Maryland, USA, (Named after your Mary I) and I get to visit my beloved England while enjoying my first cup o' Joe. (haha, I didn't even mean to do that) Thanks for this, Joe, LOVE your channel! Jen

[@JoefishJ]

Good morning to you from across the pond! What a beautiful area of the United States you are from! Thanks so much for the kind words Jen, I really appreciate it! If you know any like minded folk who might enjoy it, please share the video with them! I would love to build an audience in the States, I do plan on visiting one day! Thanks again for watching & the kind words! See you on the next one!

[@choochoo9506]

Will do!! @@JoefishJ

Small world, Maryland here also. Originally from UK.

[@pantani9886]

Maryland is named after the Virgin Mary, with Virginia being the Virgin, and Maryland being Mary! Rome' Jesuit Military Order own's and control's the World including the USA! They use their "Puppet Freemasons", like Biden, Trump, Clinton, etc who are trained at their schools/universities like Georgetown, Fordham, etc!

We love Axbridge. Amazing place.

[@JoefishJ]

I Hadn't been before the video, but will definitely be going back! Thanks for watching

[@SearlaitKaye-g6n]

King John's Lodge museum is a really interesting place. Axbridge is stunning!

[@JoefishJ]

Unfortunately it was closed during my visit! However I'm definitely heading back to Axbridge so I'll check it out then. Thanks for watching

[@DerekJohnson-q2g]

Amazing place jam packed with History, love it .

[@JoefishJ]

Had a great time in Axbridge, loads of history and plenty of friendly locals. Thanks for watching

[@JoefishJ]

What a great time I had in Axbridge... My new favourite small town in Somerset! Will definitely be coming back! Huge thanks to the amazingly friendly locals of Axbridge! I hope you enjoy the video! Please remember to subscribe to the channel! See you on the next one!

I’m in America and I love seeing the beautiful buildings and sights in Britain. I like that you pay attention to detail and do not just show horrible things as clickbait. I think Britain has so many positive things to enjoy, and you can choose what you focus on. I also like seeing the locals. It makes me feel like I went there. ❤️

[@JoefishJ]

That's awesome to hear thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy the content and upcoming adventures!

[@paulmcintosh32]

I just stumbled across your channel & I really enjoyed it Thanks so much, Im now checking out your other videos 👏👏👏

Awesome 👍 thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy! Loads incoming so stay tuned

[@TommyAtkins-bd5ky]

Beautiful and so very 'english' in our eyes. Thank you for sharing these lovely films you make. Very warmest wishes to you and your family Sir.

[@JoefishJ]

Hey buddy, thanks so much for the kind words! Was there anything 'English/British' you've wondered about maybe a place, food or general question. Brain storming ideas for new vids! Thanks again kind sir! I'll see you on the next one!

[@TommyAtkins-bd5ky]

Hello Sir and thank you for your very warm reply. I think i am right in thinking the oldest headstone/grave is in a cornish church yard and understanding your appreciation of cornwall i was wondering if you could find it or at-least consider it for a future film of yours, also bearing in mind your like of churches and historic buildings which we heartily share with you. Looking forward to your next film.@@JoefishJ

[@CroisMoi]

@@JoefishJ. I have an idea for you. Why not make videos about seaside towns that are good for retirees? I’m American and looking for a nice smaller town in the Uk. I think seaside towns would be good. You could broaden the appeal and reach of your channel, as more people are looking for a good place to retire. Notice how many views the retirement videos get. You could go over things to do, and costs. Mention the name of the town and retirement in the title. I think the more variety of keywords you can pick up the better. Mention how far it is from London in the title, as that will pick up more viewers also. You could use your footage to make two videos.

[@thelaughlaundry4411]

I subscribed while viewing the "Wells" vlog. I don't know how often I will look at your travel vlogs, but Joe, you are & your accent are very charming and you really care about old England as do I. I really would love to visit Axbridge. I was close to it when I visited Somerset with my English friends, but they are not traveling throughout the Countryside as they once did. Me neither. I do love the ancient churches, pubs, tea shops & just old places in general. You rock, Joe. Peace & love from Kathleen in California

[@JoefishJ]

Hey Kathleen from Cali! Thanks so much for heading over to my channel and watching my videos! I hope you continue to enjoy them! I'll be showing you the good, the bad and the ugly! I hope you enjoy the new video and I'll see you on the next one!

[@Xardueth]

Thank you Joe for showing this to us, what a beautiful place 😊 Greetings from Australia.

[@JoefishJ]

My pleasure thank you for watching! It's great to hear where my viewers are from! Hope you enjoy the future adventures!

[@TheSgbarter]

Love that Tudor architecture. Reminds me of The Shambles in York. JoeFish one day you could get up north and make a York video.

[@JoefishJ]

Ohhh yes, some northern content incoming and York is most certainly on the list! Thanks for watching & the comment!

[@_the_wessex_nomad_]

Good video! A drive through Axbridge is a short but very pleasant one. I sometimes divert deliberately!

[@irondeath212]

Lovely video, I hope to see more of this kind...showing lesser known but quite interesting places in the UK! 🤩 Nostalgy hit me hard with this one. I remember when my father worked in the UK and with my mum visited him then we all went on a trip around some beautiful British cities and historical places, these are priceless moments. I would love to visit again and solo travel around these towns but damn... the prices for hotels / hostels etc. are so high currently. (nothing compared to 10 years ago for example when I studied there)

[@JoefishJ]

Thanks for watching & the comment! The real Britain is found in the small towns and cities I believe, so you've come to the right place! Thanks again, I hope you enjoy the upcoming adventures!

[@classicmechanic9824]

Thank you sir for sharing Britain with us. It is a pleasure to see Britain and not just the central of London.

[@JoefishJ]

No worries thanks for watching and the comment

Thank you. A very interesting video. The church was beautiful. Greetings from South Africa.

Apparently le charter was from 1202 (bad King John died in 1216). Great fan !! Keep up the great work. Easy, casual and laid back, but clearly explained, informative and enthusiastic at the same time. I like your style. Cheers !

[@JoefishJ]

Indeed king John wasn't the best that's for sure! My favourite king from history was King Richard the Lion Heart! Thanks for the kind words mate, got a video incoming from an Ancient Druid Sacrificial Temple, this is CLOSED to the public but I'm planning a secret expedition very soon!

[@crazyherisson6500]

I have another idea, one which seems to work well and "brings in the crowds", that's to interview local craftspeople in your area (an idea from watching another KZbinr from the north "Wandering Turnip" who's really good (check him out). The only person I know in Somerset is a harpsichord maker called Andrew Garlick (I nearly bought an instrument from him many years ago, and I was kindly received by him at his house). He lives in Chard I think, and you can get his number from his website. He might be willing to feature. Cheers.

[@JoefishJ]

Yes mate good idea! Yes I really enjoy @wanderingturnip content! I will investigate Andrew and see whether he'd be up for it. Chard is in a beautiful area of the country, but has gone down hill massively of recent years... Could be worth a video? Cheers mate for the ideas I like them a lot!!

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 I'm forever stopping and chatting with people on and off camera. Just look people in the eyes with a smile 👍

[@JamieZero7]

That building needs a touch up on the wood. It's protective coating has been taken off. But it's a really amazing village.

[@JoefishJ]

Hi, Thanks for watching & the comment! It does certainly show signs of decay but with it being a National Trust Grade 1 Listed building I'm unsure what protocol they would need to follow. Anyway thanks again, I'm going to head back there in the summer as the museum was closed on my visit.

[@Wolfandfoxteam]

I lived in axbridge since august 2022 and when you filmed this I was probably at school, there’s also a local park in axbridge that actually cares about safety lol

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

Thanks for this info on this nice town. With plenty of architectural structures preserved from earlier centuries, it's like walking into outside streets' museums! Like when I felt visiting Prague, as if I entered a storybook ❤ From the tropical sunny Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭🏞️🏖️🍋🥥⛵

@7:57. Interesting to see fan vaulting in this church, not common outside of the more important buildings. I understand that this design type is only found in England
