I am rewatching your videos at the moment. I really miss your UK and European adventures. Do you fancy a long ride on a double-decker bus through some of the nicest countryside Yorkshire has to offer? The Yorkshire Coastliner service runs a bus service from Whitby to Leeds accross the Yorkshire Moors and into the Wolds. Although Leeds might be an interesting city to visit, you don't have to do the whole trip as Malton, Pickering and my favourite village in Yorkshire, Thornton-Le-Dale are part of the service, as is York. SERIOUSLY, look at some pictures of Thornton-Le-Dale! If you come back to York, maybe look at the history of chocolate in the city - you'll maybe be surprised at the number of modern day items that originated there. Also, a dive in to the railway history might be interesting. Even if you are not a rail or engineering buff, the National Railway museum will eat up your time without you ever noticing.

Wells, Glastonbury & Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The New Forest, Bournemouth, Chain Ferry From Sandbanks (Up until recently, the most expensive place to live in England) to Studland. One of the best beaches in the uk. Then on to Corfe Castle all in Dorset. The Norfolk Broads, Wroxham as a base (Take a boat trip or hire one. If you hire one you could call at every pub along the way or even moor up for lunch) Horning, Wells-Next-The-Sea, Sandringham. All in Norfolk. If you’re ever in Cornwall again, Padstow,Falmouth,Polperro,Mevagissy & Charlestown where Tall ships are sometimes moored, Used for filming Poldark. Next to CharIestown is Carlyon Bay, Just a lovely beach now but once had a renowned music venue, The Collosium, where every band in the world had played from Kiss to Blondie to Motörhead to The Smiths. If they were playing in the summer, they would have had a great time there with the beach on the doorstep. I live in Derbyshire so would recommend Chatsworth House, Bakewell (The home of The world renowned Bakewell Tart! .Haddon Hall, Ashford In The Water, Monsal Dale & Matlock.

Fascinating seeing an American's view of the good things about Britain. I think if you've seen enough of the main tourist sights and want to get away from the crowds, Ludlow in Shropshire is well worth a visit, it's a charming old town on a winding river with a medieval castle, lots of old houses, 12th century church, street market and great food. You can even get to it by train, but if you're driving Its easy to get from there to mid Wales with its stunning scenery, quiet roads and pretty towns and on to Snowdonia for mountains and seaside towns such as Barmouth and Aberystwyth.

had a few nice visits in recent years. Peak District (Chatsworth, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton), Kent to see Hever and Leeds Castles, Severn Sisters at Eastbourne, Hastings including Battle.

Just went to St Albans yesterday for Cathedral and Roman theatre. I can also recommend other Cathedral cities eg Peterborough and Ely. If you like history of English Civil War then Newark for Castle and Civil War museum. Nottingham has caves, Castle and interesting National Justice Museum. Huntingdon for Oliver Cromwell museum.

So sweet and a lot of pie-love in evidence. ❤ I always thought the expression ‘as American as apple pie’ is odd because pies are about the best thing we have and we have definitely been making them since before the Mayflower! My suggestions are Dartmouth on the South Devon coast, plus around a bit to stunning Bigbury-on-Sea with Burgh Island. Lynton and Lynmouth on the north Devon coast - but you HAVE to drive over Porlock Hill to get there. Go through the Valley of Rocks to Lee Abbey tea cottage (I used to work there many years ago) and there are NO BETTER SCONES IN DEVON OR CORNWALL and yes, I do know that kind of talk could get me killed, and Lee Bay. My favourite beach in the whole of England is just North of Bude, and is called Sandymouth. There is no beach at high tide, so check tide times. Of course, Wales doesn’t get a place in this English list but North Wales via Chester would be great - Caernarfon castle is fairly unbelievable- and South West Wales (Pembrokeshire) is lovely, and there there are several great beaches but Barafundle is super. Even as an Englishman I have to admit that Wales is often just BETTER THAN ENGLAND. And yes, those that didn’t rise to the scone statement will probably be on the war path now. Scotland- it’s the West coast and I left a big part of me (and a good chunk of my wallet) drinking at Tobermory distillery. Yes the whisky I bought was £105 but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. In fact. I’ve just talked myself into going downstairs and pouring myself some. Is that wrong for a Wednesday evening? Well….

With just a passing mention in your video, might I suggest both Durham city and Northumberland? Durham is as lovely as York, and Northumberland is vast, full of similar villages to the Cotswolds and has castles coming out of it's ears. Alnwick, Warkworth, Bamburgh to name only the most well known. There is also mile upon mile of stunning coastlines. Everything from long sandy beaches to rugged cliffs and quaint harbours. Along with the harbours come (like Whitby) some of the best fish youll find. But not just fish & chips. Craster is famed for its smoked kippers and has a car park in an old quarry. Its also a lovely walk from there to another northumbrian castle, Dunstanburgh, which has one of the county's nicest beaches next to it. Oh,almost forgot. Holy island. If you enjoy history, you must visit. I seem to remember Time Team doing an archeological dig there. And that's just what comes to mind from the top of my head, but there are even more delightful places to visit, views to behold and history to explore in Northumberland. Then you have the Cheviot hills. Not as epic as the lake distric mountains, but stunning all the same. Simonside Ridge is popular for the fantastic views. Then, you have Hadrians wall and the Roman history to explore at places like Housteads and Vindolanda. And what a stunning walk it is from Steel Rigg to Housteads.

I'm 63, my wife and I spent a month in England when I retired at 60. I was bound by the rail system rather than a car which limited my ability to see cities and towns, especially in Cornwall. There's a couple you left off which I think must be seen. If you love English history like I do and they include Winchester and Canterbury . Winchester is the initial capital of England until around 1100, and Canterbury is the famous site where Beckett was assassinated by the king. It's absolutely amazing to see ancient queens and kings of England, like Matilda, buried in the cathedral at Winchester. In addition, Winchester holds the oldest Bible, the Winchester Bible, which was written in 1200 and on display. Carlisle is also a must see, it was a huge defense against the British by the Scots when the city of Carlisle was in original Scottish possession. I was able to get a Brit rail pass with 22 flexible days within the 30 day window, which was perfect. I was also able to see a Manchester United game while in Manchester. Awesome awesome awesome & the pubs ahead of time are outrageous. UK is my absolute favorite country and I love visiting London, who wouldn't. We traveled there in September, October, and found the trains in some case to be very crowded, buying a reservation is a good idea, especially between London, Manchester, Manchester, and Edinburgh where a lot of folks were standing the whole time.

I have followed your journey for a long time on KZbin from your taste tests years back in the US to your travels across the UK and beyond and I must say I am thrilled you have visited Newcastle so often! but also saddened as I have never seen you guys out and about in my city. It would have been nice to bump in to you and offer a 'hello' - next time you visit Newcastle you must go to Victoria Tunnels, a under ground tunnel below the city that has been around since 1839. It spans over 2 miles and you can take guided tours and I believe there is a tour you can take that involves drinks in a local pub either before or after the tour.....its also meant to be haunted down there!

What about Castle Drogo with its unusual history, its croquet lawn and its dramatic siting, the pleasant footpaths leading down to a delightful cafe/pub by a torrent. Not too far for the Lydford gorge. The whole area is an enchantment for walkers.

Wells Cathedral and City in Somerset.. Magna Carta, the clock... and if you are lucky you get to hear the choir which has got to be one of the best in the world.

A place I want to explore is the Derbyshire Peaks and Dales. Spa towns like Buxton, Asbourne, and Matlock Bath. Also has some stately homes - Chatsworth, Calke, and Kedlestone.

Derbyshire is well worth a visit, especially Chatsworth which is one of the best stately homes in the UK.

Worth popping into some of neighbouring Staffordshire too. Try Manifold Valley and Thors Cave, three shires head and the roaches. Dovedale is right on the boarder too.

I've subscribed! The least I can do after you rated my hometown top of your list. I love the coast of Yorkshire and can imagine your dog loving Northumbria's beaches too.

I love your videos....do you have a video explaining the process of how you took your sweet dog to the UK?

You absolutely have to see Lynton & Lynmouth ❤ Also Porlock and the top of Porlock Hill.

Thank you for this delightful informative video. UK is our next destination. Do you have any information about how to get to all these wonderful places? Train? Rent a car? Combo of both? Is there a video I missed? Thanks so much! So excited!

Haworth the home of the Bronte sisters deserves a mention, a very atmospheric place to go, along with the railway line where the film the Railway children was filmed.

Great to see Newcastle.......my hometown.......on the list. A lot of folk in the UK who've never visited think its going to be some kind of industrial dump. Its a great looking place.

Thieve places are fabulous no doubting that. The initial and main draw back is the costs which are simply ridiculous. This is why people go abroad hot sunshine and far cheaper in every aspect unfortunately there’s no getting away from it

I am from Manchester - lived in Dorset for a number of years and still holiday there every year - I now live in North Yorkshire 20 miles from Whitby which is great I love Robin Hoods Bay and nearby Saltburn is a hidden gem but my hear resides where my son and his partner resides - York.

The ghost tours in York are world class. Micklegate Bar has its own ghostly goings on within.

Scotland and Wales have equally fantastic architecture, countryside and historically local delicacies both sweet and savoury to snack on. Not to mention all the locally brewed ales that are prevalent still.
