It's lovely to get away from thing's in peace and quiet. Leave the worries of the world behind.

[@tacraling]

@joanmatchett8100 I couldn't agree more, Joan! Woodlands are such great places for that. The weather was perfect for filming, too. We're finally getting a taste of summer! 🌞😀

Hey Andy 👋 this is such a beautiful place. I love walking in the woods. The blackberries and raspberries are looking good and beautiful wildflowers. Thanks so much for sharing the history as well with it. I very much enjoyed. 🤗👍

[@tacraling]

Thank you, Marsha, that's greatly appreciated. It is indeed a lovely place, and the weather was perfect for a woodland walk and film that day. We're finally getting some proper summer weather! 🌞😀

[@tacraling]

@stevejohnstone5163 Thank you, Steve, that's very kind of you. It is indeed a lovely spot, and the weather was perfect. There haven't been many opportunities to say that so far this summer! Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂

[@thebeatentrack156]

What a wonderful place, can't believe there's a raspberry cane in amongst the brambles. Great video 😊

[@tacraling]

@thebeatentrack156 It is indeed a very beautiful location and quite stunning at this time of year. Many thanks for watching. 👍🙂

[@IntrepidsRus]

It certainly is beautiful. 😍 Cheers for the history Andy

[@tacraling]

Thank you for watching. It's a lovely place, and it's great to see it doing so well after it was completely decimated in the hurricane.

[@markporter-thechurchhistor6784]

Beautiful scenery there Andy😀

[@tacraling]

@@markporter-thechurchhistor6784 It's a lovely place, Mark, and it's great to see how well nature is recovering. Toys Hill was absolutely decimated by the hurricane. Thanks for watching. 👍🙂

[@philipnunn1816]

Love Toy's Hill and nearby Ide Hill Chart. Great memories of my time in the Scouts based in Ide Hill. There is some beautiful countryside around my home town of Edenbridge.

[@tacraling]

@philipnunn1816 Hello Philip! Many thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing. It is greatly appreciated! 👍There are indeed some lovely locations in that area. I've made a few videos in and around Westerham if you'd like to take a look. 🙂

[@njuham]

There's also a bat tower which has no bats.

[@tacraling]

@njuham Yes, I've heard of that but didn't see it on the day of filming. Many thanks for watching.

[@cemeteryvisits]

You know this reminds me of my area in past years, we would have people protesting mountain top removal for coal (I myself am 50/50 on the subject, long story) so these people would protest a mountain being removed for coal which this area still needs yet those same people wouldn’t protest a mountain being removed for a Walmart. Ok the mountain removal for the Walmart well that mountain is still gone right? 😂😂😂

[@tacraling]

@@cemeteryvisits 🤣 I guess nothing comes before Walmart! 🤣🤣

[@cemeteryvisits]

@@tacraling ain’t that the truth 😂😂

[@cemeteryvisits]

Here’s another one from my area for giggles and eye rolls… Around 15 years ago some environmentalists protested “we need windmills in West Virginia now for cleaner energy!!!” Ok so we started putting up windmills at a high cost to appease them and got them running. A little later migratory fruit bats were flying into the rotating blades and being killed, bodies were scattered everywhere, so here come the protesters yet again “Stop the windmills now!! they’re killing fruit bats!!!” 🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂

[@tacraling]

@cemeteryvisits Yes, brilliant! It reminds me of how campaigners against oil turn up for protests either by car or public transport, all of which require oil! 🙄

[@cemeteryvisits]

@@tacraling yes exactly 😂😂😂 we see videos of them over here all the time 😂😂😂

[@christopherjennings1462]

sorry mate there was no hurricane...full stop....I grew up in tHE area and toys hill was a playground to us

[@tacraling]

@christopherjennings1462 I suggest you read the history of Toys Hill, Kent, and the hurricane of 16th October 1987.
