The Town in the UK Nobody Visits 🇬🇧

I set out on a new adventure to show you the real side to the UK, a country full of characters and council estates. However, is there more to the UK than just this? I started my journey in Cornwall and ventured into a town you've probably never heard of called Cambourne. A small town which unfortunately has a bad reputation, but what was the town really like?

Do you know , that for at least a year I thought you were Mr Bald’s ( of Bald and Bankrupt) nephew ! I don’t know why Thought that ! 😂🤣

Turkey Man is a character. Love that he is raising money for cancer. The irony wasn't lost on me that he announced this while smoking. Keep on, keeping on Turkey Man

Another great video Ben! Keep the content coming. 👍🏻

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks! Will do!

Pasties were brought to the USA by the Cornish. Pasties were a staple for miners in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan back as far at the early to mid-1800s.

[@JillTravenner]

Wow, what an incredible journey through the beautiful landscapes of Britain, from the charming Cornwall to the vibrant town of Cambourne! The video captured the essence of these places so well, taking us on a visual adventure filled with stunning scenery and hidden gems. I loved how the vlogger highlighted the unique cultural aspects and historical significance of each stop along the way. It's like I was right there exploring alongside them. Can't wait for more captivating vlogs like this!🫰

Hey, thanks 🙏🏼

[@gafrers]

Great new series Cat and Ben FTW

[@aviadilo]

Visited Cornwall from Poland twice in 2019 - a week each time, used public transport only. Love the place. Nice towns, beautiful scenery, friendly people, strong community feel, plus stunning St. Michael's Mount. Didn't see any no-go places. Went through Camborne on the top of a double-decker. Had good weather most of the time. Got wallopped with heavy rain and wind on a coastal hike from Land's End, but it was a worthwhile experience.

[@BackpackerBen]

Top experience 👏🏼😎

[@aguafria9565]

I like a Pole who uses the word Wallop. Come to Poznan sometime

[@escherpainting8622]

Used public transport only?? That's absolutely insane. None of us use the public transport lol. It barely exists!

[@lejeuneoli]

Great to see Kat! She makes the video --- as always. Richard in Reno

[@johnstone4913]

Very interesting, my grandfather was from Cambourne, he immigrated to the US in Oct. 1912 (six months after the Titanic) and landed at the famous Ellis Island. He came back for a visit in 1958 and 1971. He used Cornish words from time to time.

[@pitney77]

u have a knack of making boring places look interesting and a few hidden gems ie Turkey Man... Excellent vid Ben thank u

[@BackpackerBen]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

Subscribed to Turkey man. What a legend.

So fun...thanks for these UK vids with Kat.

Keep going Ben ❤

[@skin150263]

I haven't been to Camborne for about ten years, but it doesn't look like it's changed very much and at least it's not full of boarded up shops and litter everywhere. I think it's a former mining town, but it seems to have survived the closure of the copper mines quite well really. I've been to a lot worse places in the midlands and the north. You only pay the toll on the Tamar Bridge when going from Cornwall into Devon, so I guess you could always avoid that by going via Callington and Tavistock to get to Plymouth. I really enjoyed this video and I'm looking forward to seeing what you think about other places in the country 🙂.

[@nckweeks]

Having lived in a rundown westcountry town, I can relate to the people of Camborne struggling to find anything good to say about it. It was a dismal existence and one I was happy to escape from.

[@CosmicMystery7]

It's wild that towns in the U.K. that are considered run down and dismal would be full of yuppies here in the U.S. and considered beacons of urban planning.

[@BackpackerBen]

Going down hill mate

[@winterroadspokenword4681]

@@BackpackerBenGoing up Camborne Hill 😅

[@nckweeks]

​@@f.dmcintyre4666 Yeah I'd not been long out of school and couldn't get a job for shit. I wasn't a local after moving there with my family. All the jobs went to the locals and they weren't that great. I could see a bleak future. I moved back to Hampshire in 1993 and didn't look back. I've been working and living well since. It's probably OK for a holiday down that way but I wouldn't want to live there.

[@davidchi1277]

Good !

[@michaelallen3395]

The Muppets Turrkeeeey guy ( As they said on the Muppets) plus Turkey, turkey, turkey was chased around with the meat clever then usually singing in a pot throwing all the onions and carrots everywhere. However this guy was really great its so nice seeing other people doing what they can to help out the less fortunate anď you Ben posting his information so others can also help was amazing. Goodluck can't wait for the next videos of Slum Life UK.

[@brownale1000]

Camping in Cornwall, I did it and what a night, pissed it down non stop ! Great video subscribed cheers

[@davidwhitton9050]

I hope you are going to visit the east coast this time Ben. Enjoy your trip.

[@HamptonFarly]

Lovely Cornwall and Devon ❤Getting there from London is special

[@beorlingo]

I get this strange deja vu feeling that I've seen this series before were Ben however was in the driver's seat, and someone else - can't recall whom - was sitting in the passenger seat narrating the trip the way Ben is doing in this one. What an utterly strange and surreal feeling it is watching this one!

[@r00tx6]

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but bald and bankrupt had about an hour long video early this year of this same thing where Ben was driving lol

[@Lionking1190]

They did a uk roadtrip last year!

🤣🤣

[@nckweeks]

I think I saw them somewhere rough in Scotland eating battered haggis.

I will show this to all my friends here in Finland. Perfect promo for UK tourism.

[@BackpackerBen]

Might put them off 😆

[@strangersound]

@@BackpackerBen LOL. The one positive thing mentioned was the good people and you proved it. Do more England. It's always mad lads everywhere. Hard places create real people. The places are typical and boring, but the people are not. Thanks! :)

Lived in Cornwall from 1966-1970 at a place near Newquay. Had some great summers there while my Dad flew Shackleton out of RAF St Mawgan. Lived at an old RAF base St Eval which was awful.

Hi Ben hope you enjoyed your time with Mr Wendall and of course hope we hope you enjoyed your time in CORNWALL

[@BackpackerBen]

Absolutely loved it there as always

[@washubrain]

Been to St Michael's Mount about 20 years ago, tried to revisit in 2013 but due to strong winds the boats didn't operate and the tide was already coming in strong, so left it for another day and still not managed to make it by now 2023. Cornwall is special and St Michael's Mount is a gem in its crown, at least as I see it ))

Bring an air mattress and a few tarps when you go car camping. Tuck the tarps under the edges of the tent so they do not pool water under the tent floor from water rolling off the tent. Do not lean things against the wall of the tent, or the rain will soak through.

[@makeshift1012]

The weather is generally better than people think in the UK . It’s been extremely unusual this year
