The Grandest Sights Of Britain's Countryside | Treasure From The Air | Real Royalty

Britain’s Treasures from the Air takes a spectacular look at how the National Trust has pursued its simple mission to preserve Britain's most valued places, 'for ever, for everyone.' From its humble beginnings over a century ago, it's now a national institution and one of Britain's biggest landowners with properties ranging from vast areas of countryside and coastline, to churches and even entire villages!
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

How about England? Most of it is sunny and fairly dry, almost all the time, summer or winter. Most people can't seem to believe that until they experience it and see the graphics/maps of annual rainfall and sunshine. Most of England gets less rain than anywhere I've lived in Ontario. Western Scotland, rainy, Wales, Ireland, England, not so much.

[@raibeart1955]

Hi Chitus, If you manage to get to England one day then one place I would suggest is The Lake District. There are some great trails and walks around that area. Yorkshire has many great walks and scenery. However I am a Scotsman so I am heavily biased when it comes to suggestions such as these. The west coast of Scotland is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and that is mentioned as such in many guide books. There are now some great videos to be found on KZbin with many people posting there vlogs etc. You will probably have seen some of the sights if you have watched movies like Highlander, Harry Potter and of course James Bond . You should be able to go online to get some ideas. You could also get in touch with the Scottish tourist board,who will give you many more ideas than I have time to write. You may also be able to get free maps and guides for specific areas if you find something that you are interested in. I hope that someday you will be able to visit us and have a break. I’m sure you will not be disappointed. Take care - and I wish all the very best to you and yours. Rab

*Beatrix, not Beatrice. She also was at least partially responsible for the development of the Herdwick breed of sheep here in the Lake District too. Environmentalist is not the correct word for her efforts as they preceded that kind of interest. Conservationist would be the correct term, as it is for the Trust itself.

It’s so enchanting and beautiful…. those castles represent how the elite… the 1%…. lived up to 100 years ago…. everyone else in the community worked for them in some way… it changes the way you view these spectacular castles. Hopefully they will continue to be preserved…. they tell an important story.

[@anmnou]

I prefer it to "egalitarian" communist architecture.

[@alisonrhodes7312]

I think you need to look more closely at the history of castles. They were actually citadels as you see in the White City in LOTR. Many people of all ranks lived within or around a castle. They were safe places to withdraw into in times of insecurity as well as initially, a way to exert dominance over a hostile countryside. In a hierarchical society it is hard to imagine a different set up. I guess you could look at the Anglo Saxons or the Scottish clan system as an alternative. Unfortunately they were both defeated by the “ castle” system. You have to have a safe defensible location ( think of Neolithic hilltop forts with their deep ditches and walls or palisades. )
