Sunday Morning Walk to the Brontë Sister's Waterfall & Wuthering Heights Farmhouse!

[@chriscansdale6389]

Keegan, the reason there are dense plantings of 'fir' trees is normally because farmers have put them in as shelter belts. They make excellent wind breaks and shelter from rain for livestock and are very common here in southern Australia. They were mostly put in by returned soldier settler farmers after WW2 when our government opened up cheap land for clearing to establish jobs and farms. As most of the farming practices here came from the UK, I'd say it's most likely the same reason you have them over there. I was born in Kent and left England as a child in 1980. I never got to see any of the country up north and am grateful for the content you guys create. It's a beautiful part of the world!

Thanks for sharing your hike. It got me tired just watching it.😮😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathleenchild]

Love the countryside walks and talks.

[@brucecampbell5463]

I love seeing Ava and Fen in the back seat saying Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

[@joeybla9nkenship332]

"...even Fen" 07:35 I love how the dogs have their own diva personalities.

[@dianegilchrist677]

Just caught this & loved the beautiful walk. Thank you both for taking us along.❤

[@maryh.2729]

I did not know this walk existed & I love the Bronte sisters. The scenery was beautiful! I need my knee replacements so I can go to England. 😅

[@jeangenie1240]

Still in West Yorkshire with a BD postcode. We are so lucky to have these moors (and others) on our doorstep.;

[@bernardofitzpatrick5403]

I have done that walk. Emily is my favourite. Branwell Brontë was the brother… he had a drinking problem and like them all died young. I love the moors. Reminds me of heathcliffe and Catherine from Wuthering Heights novel by Emily.

[@juliescott1976]

I would love to live in that little town! As long as there is good internet.

[@jeffhampton2767]

Very pretty. It looks like some parts of New England and Pennsylvania. If you ever get back to Pennsylvania you must check out the historical areas that were once owned by the British back in the early 1700s before we became the United States. Especially the town of New Hope and Washington's Crossing looks exactly like England with old Stone walls and stone houses and structures and rolling hills. You would definitely think you were in England. The British controlled Pennsylvania from 1681 to 1776.

[@kennixox262]

Nothing like the north of England in winter. A bit desolate, empty, cold and breezy and walking your dogs the "Woodhouse" way. Certainly enjoyed my visits way to the north and into Scotland. Not sure I would want to live out there however. I need a Costco, and a good supermarket that sells good quality foods. I see two properties that could become the new "Hirstwood" estate. Just do it up. Does Amazon deliver that far out, can you get an Uber? Internet? Mobile connection?

[@jeffwatkins352]

Your walk gave me chills! Not because of the cold, but the location. I have a very special connection to the Brontés, albeit self-forged. Some time in the 1980s I watched for the first time the classic William Wyler film of Wuthering Heights with Olivier and Oberon. It instantly struck me that its society treated the relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff exactly as so many today treat gay relationships. Then I read the novel, again for the first time, and the similarities were only stronger. A rip-snorter of a book, BTW. How a retiring country girl came up with such raw emotional stuff is one of literature’s miracles. Anyway, I decided I’d write my own novel version. Born and raised in American cattle country, I set it in the modern day milieu I knew. Wrote it, finished it, then what should be a hit? Brokeback Mountain. So that was that for my book.

[@salamanderadk72]

Thanks for taking us along on your walk. I remember reading that book as a teenager -- one of my favorites. I always wondered what it actually looked like in that area of the U.K.

[@gazaman7561]

Mr & Mr Hirst ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@diannamacdonald3716]

Is this the area (the Yorkshire Dales) that the James Herriot books are set? I love All Creatures Great and Small.

[@lisahopper7558]

Thank you for taking us on the walk with you , you are such a lovely couple ❤

[@brandireichert6941]

Keegan , we hope you feel better soon. You’re an Amazing Young Man and we Love that you don’t complain and look down on others. Blessings to you both 🙏

[@jeffhampton2767]

I have a half sister in England who's in her upper 70s she's a World War II child. She came to my farmhouse here in Pennsylvania with her boyfriend from Scotland years back and he thought this part of Pennsylvania looked exactly like Scotland and Northern England.

[@chrisfortin4251]

Lovely to catch up while enjoying my Wendy's and Wine. Awesome closing photo, by the way. Keegan, I do hope you start to feel better! Beautiful scenery, guys. Thanks for sharing your hike with us. Have a great rest of the weekend! 😃🍷

[@DawnDittberner]

Look like it was a beautiful walk! Keagan I hope you are feeling 100% Keep spending quality time together. It’s so important 🫶🫶🫶

[@jeffhampton2767]

Look up photos of Colonial Williamsburg Virginia and be shocked. I swear you're going to think it looks just like England

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

I've always wanted to do that walk. Did you know you can rent a room in the vet hospital used in All Creatures Great and Small in the Yorkshires. Beautiful country. Sorry about your Mum.

[@joannunemaker6332]

Keegan, I hope you feel better soon. So many people are sick this season, you are not alone. I love this video!😊❤

[@kelly1827]

Lovely walk! When you came unto the little village it reminded me of some of the more remote areas of Ireland, when we were on our ❤honeymoon ❤. We'd be driving along a tiny country road, come around a bend and surprise! a village! It gave me warm fuzzies remembering that 😊

[@juliaellis2046]

That looks like such an amazing walk. The scenery is so beautiful.

[@mellibee100]

A local community theater near Nashville (💕) is performing Jane Eyre next month, so this is perfect for setting the scene before the show :). Thank you!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Love the Brontes. Tenant of Wildfell Hall was a good book. Wuthering Heights I find way too depressing. Jane Eyre is my favorite book of all time. I named my daughter Jane. And one of my fav musicals!!!

[@kathleengates]

Love spending “virtual” time with you!! Thanks for sharing a bit of your lives with us 🤍🤍

[@deborahgodley6980]

Joel, after Philadephia with Leah, everything changed and I kind of lost track of you and now I see you have met someone wonderful and have moved to Yorkshire.So happy for you! Do u still have ur London home? Wishing you all the best👏👏👏

[@jeffhampton2767]

Also look up photos of Rolling Hills in Pennsylvania and tell me it doesn't look exactly like where you are

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Joel, I thought you were going to mention me, I gave you a copy of Wuthering Heights maybe you forgotten, the village you walked through looked really nice, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

[@dorothypaul4642]

Thanks so much for taking us along on that beautiful walk. I love the Bronte sisters. Jane Eyre is my favorite novel of all time. I read it as a young girl many years ago and maybe a dozen times since then. I call it my comfort novel. This video was such a lovely unexpected surprise. Thanks Joel and Keegan!

[@k.vn.k]

Love this!

[@joemalick]

That was really sweet, thanks for taking us along. Always love a good countryside visit, and I loved reading Wuthering Heights back in the day. 🥰 The only drawback of living there would be the drive just to get basic groceries at Asda or Sainsbury’s. 😂😂😂

[@lelandpeck4585]

Thanks,guys for taking us on that very special walk! Love to see the Yorkshire countryside, the old stone walls, the buildings, etc. Hope you are feeling "tip top" now, Keegan.

[@OuranMom101]

As always thanks for sharing !! the walk looked lovely

[@robertrawley1115]

*Absolutely Loverly!* Joel, please consider doing the stone wall making course...but only if they'll let you film it! That would be a hoot, imho.

[@joearceneaux]

HI Guys an pups.thanks for taking us on this beautiful walk.the history is so awesome. I do enjoy the new channel with the both of an the children when they are with you. We are having a very cold winter here in The USA. We had a ice Strom as far south to the gulf of Mexico..have a great weekend. Much kindness and love to all. 🏳️‍🌈🦋❤️

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s so nice to see you two looking fabulous and glowing. Also, love the title of this video.

[@julietarpey4216]

Stunning countryside ❤❤❤

[@sherribennett1980]

Glad to see you and Keegan back.

[@lisalundin3972]

I especially love your local travel vlogs. Beautiful countryside with historical and literary significance. Thank you for sharing your outing. Happy new year!

[@richiej5884]

Loved seeing your countryside and all the beautiful scenery! I think I would be there everyday if I could. Thank you for talking us on that walk! A long one too! (Do Ava and Fen enjoy the walk as much as both of you?)

[@stephaniegonsalves2810]

Beautiful countryside. You guys are incredibly lucky...I'm jealous now❤

[@gordonklug]

Is that the Moors?

[@jeffhampton2767]

Also look up Old Stone houses in farm houses in Bucks County Pennsylvania

[@bkm2797]

Beautiful but haunting landscape, at least it felt that way to me. Certainly hope that wasn't WH, and that we keep in mind what the movie created,lol, really dreary. Thanks for taking us along, glad you're feeling better Keegan, I love how you and Joel go on these creative excursions. See ya!

[@leonduplessis]

I really enjoyed this vlog as you showed me a part of England I always wanted to visit. I bet the dogs enjoyed that walk.

[@TracMcNguyen]

Where are all of the trees...😢 @5:26

[@jeffhampton2767]

Probably chopped down many hundreds of years ago. England also has almost no Wildlife because they were all eating hundreds of years ago.

[@kellieroth1710]

Loved this! I need to re-read wuthering heights! ❤❤

[@ruggledug]

This was fun to watch. Something I would love to do. Do you ever worry letting the dogs off the lead in places far from home? They are so good and always seem to stay close to you unlike my dog.

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

The views were beautiful. I love your vlogs. I’m getting better at understanding the northern accent. Keegan is so funny, it’s worth going back to figure out what he said ❤

[@ingaborlowski1536]

Can Yorkshire get any more beautiful? Stunning gorgeous beautiful landscapes . I hope to visit in 2025, that’s my goal anyway. I really enjoy your videos 🙋🏼‍♀️🤗

[@leesmith-fo6gu]

Keegan, if your not from the north would people understand what earwigging was???? Could also use the term tabhanging!

[@ChristinaBaker-e9d]

Why didn't you read the plaque on the building

[@keeganandjoel]

We did… literally repeated it to you! 😂

[@ChristinaBaker-e9d]

@@keeganandjoel I must have been too busy shouting 'read the plaque' to hear you😃

[@Syveril]

the Chinese characters at 4:36 mean "pathway"

[@brandireichert6941]

Chriscansdale6389 , you are brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes total sense. I have always Dreamed of visiting Australia. Is there a difference between Southern and Northern like there is in United States 🇺🇸. Blessings to you.

[@peterphillips4566]

Vast difference between the north and south in Australia….the north is tropical with two season, the Wet and Dry season, the south is much cooler in Winter and hot in Summer with a dry heat, not the hot humid weather of the tropics…and just about any other climatic zone you can imagine in between…from snowy Alpine ares to hot dry deserts. Just make sure to allow plenty of time to see it. From where I live in Cairns (Far north of Queensland) to Melbourne down south is a 3 hour flight.
