Southeast England

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Arcing along the southeast coast of England, we'll travel from Canterbury (with its famous cathedral) to Dover (stoutly fortified from Roman times to the Battle of Britain). Then we'll hike the trails that top the towering chalk cliffs of the South Downs, wander into the beachy resort of Brighton (England's Coney Island), and push on to Portsmouth, whose naval heritage has left it with the best collection of historic sailing ships anywhere. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #england

As a native of Dover I feel compelled to issue a warning to you good folks... please keep away from the edge of the cliffs, they crumble and fall into the sea on a regular basis especially after winter frosts. Also walking or sitting close to the bottom of any cliff is not advisable for the same reason. Enjoy our magnificent scenery but please stay safe to visit us again.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Thanks for the warning.

[@Foxglove963]

[@user-ms4ef8xz9t]

I'm an American that the chance to visit southern England. I found it magical. The cliffs of Dover were worth it all by themselves. As a history buff, there weren't enough hours in the day. Everything was awesome including the people. London, Portsmouth, Brighton, loved it all. One of the best trips I have ever had.

[@brianbassett4379]

The 1st time I visited Dover was in the early 90s while on vacation from serving in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. I bought a new Nissan Maxima and covered England and Ireland on one big Pub crawl. I recommend Tiddly · Fox Farm Brewery. Dover was the *best* place I have ever flown kites. I'd never flown a stunt kite in a smooth, strong, continuous wind like that before. I had just switched to a Prism kite that is particularly fast and was putting on a show for a woman and what I assume were her two children. I never got a chance to talk to them because, after a minute or two, a seagull decided to fly through _my_ flight zone and got tagged by like lines. I'd recently switched from nylon to Kevlar lines, and they almost cut that gull in half. A big puff of feathers, a squawk, and a woman running two crying kids to their car. Very memorable; I wonder if the kids still think of that; I'm positive that the woman does.

I actually had a relative on my mothers side of the family who served at the Battle of Trafalgar on HMS Victory. He was Master At Arms William Elliott. I wish I knew what he looked like, but in those days only well off people had portraits done, so I can only imagine. I do know that he was a tough character in that in his position he was responsible for discipline and punishment on board, and not someone to cross. I think that his character has in some way passed down to me, or so it would appear.

What an absolutely perfect documentary! This guy is a genius: He balances the horror of war with the safety and the historic "wisdom" of our gaze 1,000 or 200 years later, followed by a large beer among red flowers and blue skies. He presents us with a vivid picture of the human race across history, without being judgmental. He allows us to make our own judgement after witnessing the long-term consequences of battles or decisions that were made centuries ago. Thank you, Rick.

Quite agree Matthew, I live not too far from Canterbury and have added an 'as close to being there' virtual 4k walk through it for viewers to get a virtual leg stretch until the time comes when we can all visit with our real legs.

I recoiled in horror when i saw Rick on the edge of that cliff. Some cliffs in that area are over 500ft high.

[@lalca]

Hmm... That's bit of an inconvenience 😌

[@Kratos-005]

@Wisdom Perception - No seriously. You need to be very careful on the chalk cliffs. Theyre very dangerous and crumbly. Especially near the edge it cracks. We are always warned to stay away here in Kent. It’s health and safety, not “a typical English attitude”. We dont treat people like children, England is the birth place of less government and more individual freedom. We believe everyone should be allowed to do what they want within the law.

[@TheVaughan5]

@@tamaracarter1836 Many of the hideous buildings of the 60’s and 70’s were not replacements from war time destruction but a deliberate attempt by politicians in league with architects to “modernise” the country. The results of course were a disaster. The good news is that a lot are now being replaced with better buildings though regrettably in some cases the replacements are not much better.

The English sun is actually quite reliable, despite the claim it's not. England is sunny almost all the time, especially in the South. Wales, Scotland and Ireland are rainy, but the Anglo-Saxons settled in mostly the driest and sunniest spots. Sussex, Kent, Devon and Cornwall have as many frost free days in a year as say, Sicily. Google 'sun map England' and you'll see. There can be fog, some drizzle, definitely wind, but that blows the clouds over. Sunny England.

Thank you Rick and your take on the south east which coincidentally is my “neck of the woods”. Always fascinating to see and hear the views of visitors. I think it's all too easy to forget what a very pleasant part of the world we inhabit and many of your videos are very worthy reminders. My wife is only now just beginning to discover the UK and is well and truly immersing herself in its history and beauty.
