TRAVELING through ENGLAND || LINCOLNSHIRE - Driving - Villages (UK VLOG)

[@martinconnelly1473]

The people from North America who are saying the weather is gloomy should be aware that the UK is as far north as Edmonton in Canada, which is getting close to Alaska and is further north than most Canadians live. The downside is the short daylight hours in winter, the upside is the long daylight hours in summer. In June you can rise with the Sun at 4am and enjoy daylight until 10pm. At this time of year it is something to look forward to.

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Yea i was watching a vlog with two Americans from tampa florida and all they did is moan about the weather, it was late November what did they expect

[@stephenbarnard8672]

Hi Jess and Chris, hope you are well my friends. Firstly thank you for putting to bed the myth that the UK weather is always dull, gloomy and wet ☔, so many visitors to our shores think it rains all the time but saying that Sunday does look wet and windy 😊. This was another great edit Jess combining scenic views with great drone footage. I have learnt more about my country watching your vlogs then I could ever have hoped. Thank you for educating me twice weekly which has been so enjoyable and a privilege to watch my friends. Have a good Sunday and see you soon ❤ xx.

[@DaydreamersBound]

Stephen, We're doing great! We're so glad. I'm saddened when I hear about the poor weather here because it's not as often as everyone likes to make it out to be. I'm still working on my editing skills to make sure you all can enjoy all the videos. Thank you for all the love each week! 🤍 Jess, Chris & kids x

[@davidfuters7152]

Are you guys familiar with our ordinance survey maps ? They are not really needed for what you do , but there is so much detail on them They show contours so you get a feel for the topography of the land your on , they have a legend down the site that explains what your looking at . They show every church ,castle , battle field , village, town ,city building upto the date of the map 2024 etc They will show railway lines , roads of every classification (motorway , A , B and unclassified roads ) and everything is colour coaded . I love your trips out and the fact you go with your gut for random drives , keep up the great vids 👌👌

[@alisoncauser2955]

Louth sounds like mouth. I love Lincolnshire.

[@krissyg7026]

I love the Lincolnshire wolds, been many times. I love the boards at castle ruins showing how it would have looked so you can visualise it.

[@stickybun3996]

Louth as in mouth, and yes it's one of the lovely market towns in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds. Really enjoying your travels around England.

[@hereandthere4763]

Pronounced Lowath locally.

[@Andy_U]

Hiya. That final drone shot really hit the spot. Brought those printed outlines to life! Stay safe. All the best to you.

[@RushfanUK]

As your time in the UK comes to an end it's great to see you stacking up the memories, best wishes for your return to the USA and the many new memories you will make there.

[@stevelivesey5777]

I love watching your videos around our wonderful county of Lincolnshire. It makes me so happy that you appreciate the beauty. I live in Lincoln and you drove very close to where I live in another one of your videos. All the best to you guys and may your journey be full of joy, wonder and happiness.

[@robertomoi2044]

You two really are a breath of fresh air. 😊

[@fayesouthall6604]

Lincolnshire is lovely 🥰

[@DaydreamersBound]

We understand why it's easy to love. We truly love this entire Island! 🤍 Jess x

[@fayesouthall6604]

@DaydreamersBound That’s sweet Jess x

[@archiebald4717]

Stunning. Beautiful cinematography. That church spire is one of the most impressive I have ever seen. It seems that there are a lot of moles in that area.

[@tezzwollerton4364]

Soooo close to Woodhall spa and Tattershall Thorpe! I hope you got to visit them, i hope you got to visit the battle of britain memorial flight in coningsby too! 😊😊

[@simonbelton7165]

Hi . It’s very interesting for me to listen to your comments as you first visit towns I’ve been around all my life . I hope you come back to Louth and Horncastle when the weathers better . There’s so much history just from those two towns , try Tattershall castle if you’ve not already , it’s huge and amazing

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Another great video jess and chris, thanks for taking us places us brits havent been to before 👍

[@BaslowKiss]

There were a few of the earlier settlers to the ‘New World’ from Lincolnshire. Carpentry joints unique to Lincolnshire were found in the dwellings of settles in Jamestown.

[@stephenclarke2206]

The Pilgrims were mostly from Eastern England & sailed from Immingham to go to Holland

[@claregale9011]

Hi Guys , I love summer days but also a day like today rainy , it gives me an excuse to cosy up on my sofa with my p.js on with a hot cuppa and slice of cake watching old films . Thankyou for taking us along 😊❤

[@hh-wy4ec]

Great video, as always. Hope Jess is feeling better.🤘 btw, "Lined-up houses" are called terraced houses here - and they are common in older parts of a village, town or city.

[@RonSeymour1]

They may be just a small relic of the original castle but being on the grounds does make you visualise the people that stood in that very spot all the centuries ago. As for the weather, it is just a matter of putting on the correct clothing. Personally, I draw the line with heavy rain, but that is just me, and it doesn't usually last that long. Thank you both for sharing this.

[@gilledwards9302]

I’m so pleased you took the trouble to explore the Lincolnshire Wolds and that you enjoyed the experience. I love the Wolds but then again I’m biased because I live in their foothills (if you can call them that).

[@thefamousfour]

Ha, just sat down to have some lunch and watch a bit of KZbin. Your video popped up on my homepage… I saw it said Lincolnshire so thought I would probably see something I recognise. Imagine my delight when I realised you were in my hometown! If I’d known or if you pop this way again I can make you a hot drink. Enjoy your adventures :)

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Thank you for another wonderful upload video. I love watching our American "cousins" visiting our fair Isle. But it gets really annoying, "we went to London". "we're going to London". " Our Week in London". "What we did in London". "sightseeing in London". BORING! London is not a true representation of the UK as a whole. It's like a sperate state in itself, nothing like the rest of the UK. It just happens to be the capital, where all the major amounts of money gets spent is all. I was overjoyed to see the title of your video, LINCOLNSHIRE! Brilliant. I have only been through there myself twice. Great to see you visiting there. At 16:43, whilst standing on the bridge, the wall of the building to your right, it had blocked up windows. In this case the reasoning is not apparent. But the blocking of windows, in the past, it had reasons for this, sometimes financial. Your presenting and narration are fantastic too. Please keep your videos coming, they're much appreciated.

[@louthboy]

can't believe you didn't park up & look inside the church then have a walk around Hubbards hills just up the road, you were so close! Just up the road from the castle there's the Lincolnshire aviation museum, that's worth a look aswell. Enjoy your travels 😀😀

[@captainavinit]

I was lucky enough to grow up in the Lincolnshire wolds. Would regularly cycle to Hubbards hills in Louth, beautiful part of the world.

[@johnrowarth9411]

lovely vid once again. you would love the forest of Bowland. Burnley fantastic drives with beautiful countryside and lovely villages besides rivers. Barley village below pendle hill is beautiful and a meeting ground for walkers venturing up pendle hill. research the pendle witches and the horrendous tales of what happened to them. forgive me if you have ever been there . not seen all your vids yet. keep safe and happy . ps. sawley abbey where we take our dog is beautiful also with a fantastic pub by the river. i do go on a bit. sorry. over and out.x

[@tracieoliver2307]

Great video nd the drone footage is quite superb! It really shows the layout of everything! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@user-man-now80]

I appreciate the 'greyness', as a protective lair from the sun, and somehow it is familiar and comforting to an old Brit.The houses 'joined up' are terraced, and in the north are a familiar sight - very often built to house employees servicing local industries. They can be very damp and cold in winter, and would have had a fireplace in living rooms and bedrooms, and typically have a larger footprint than many modern houses. Converted they can be a good investment. All swans are the property of the Monarch. Another interesting video with lovely drone footage showing the flatness of Lincolnshire. Habitually on Thursday and Sunday I look for your vlog. Thanks again. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.

[@rjdavey68]

Shame you didn't park up at the 1:15 point on your way in to Louth so you could walk through Westgate Fields and on to Hubbards Hills. It's only about 1/2hr end to end but you'll be hard pressed to find a prettier short walk anywhere. Comparatively speaking Lincolnshire is very sparsely populated (even compared to Scotland outside of the Highlands) and as such retains an old England feel to the place. Something you don't really get these days in a lot of places with the hustle & bustle of modern life and cosmopolitan population growth. Definitely a hidden gem.

[@tonycasey3183]

My old geography teacher back in the early 70s once told me: "Take the L and the H out of Louth to know how the vowels are pronounced." He was from Lincolnshire and was perturbed to find that pupils in his class had vever heard of Louth.

[@woodencreatures]

I love the drone footing of Bolingbroke. There's no way you can know what it looks like just from you walking around (ignoring the notice board obviously) 😀

[@terencecarroll1812]

A weighbridge is for weighing lorries to make sure they're not overloaded and dangerous

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, thank you for the insight. 🤍 Jess x

[@joemorris5288]

Hi, the markings you see on the pavement are to tell the workmen where the pipes or cables are to go so thjats where the have to did up the pavement.

[@lauraburnett9320]

There are some people that suffer from SAD, seasonal affective disorder, it is not pleasant and the gloomy low pressure weather is not good for us. You can use a lightbox to counteract the effect, but when it hits you, it`s very very difficult to be cheerful. It affects your work and your whole life, so that is maybe why you hear people complaining. It feels like a lid has been shut on top of you until Spring comes. I love having seasons, it`s part of living here in the UK, it keeps us focused and looking forward.......You could look at Stamford, a very pretty place, used a lot to film costume dramas and television dramas.

[@martinconnelly1473]

I spent 5 years at RAF Coningsby and went for many pedal bike rides around the local area. One of my rides was to Bolingbroke to visit the castle site. It is featured in the history of the Kings and Queens of England as the birthplace of Henry IV.

[@Papa_Kilo]

I'm looking forward to seeing your adventures on the homestead in Michigan. My family had a small hobby farm in Northern Indiana in the 90's and I loved the peace and quiet there. We were right by the kankakee river which made it prone to flooding but we loved that little place. I'm now in Yorkshire and loved your video on the Yorkshire Dales.

[@CliveGreen-q1x]

Did what you are doing today the best part of 50 years ago, I loved it as much as you are doing but back then I didn't have to pay for a parking spot anywhere!

[@davidberesford7009]

Hi Folks! I see you are now looking at "the wolds" where the towns and villages are just hidden by the rolling hills. Glaciation formed Wolds & Drumlins, at the end of the last iceage. I see also that you are "Bound" now; Is that bound as in, Tied Up? or as in Leap? or possibly Destined For? I wonder?

[@PoliticalprisonUK]

Lincolnshire is a great place to go antique hunting. A trip to the Hemswell antique centres and the the town of Horncastle. Amongst many other places. Also I would recommend the White Hart Hotel in Lincoln itself. It is right in the centre of Historical Lincoln. Myself I would start a tour of Lincolnshire starting in Bourne. And using the A15 north and the A16 south from the Mabelthorpe area.using branch roads of those main arteries to explore.

[@andrewstretton6319]

I have been to Louth (as in mouth) a couple of times on the bus from Lincoln, via Horncastle from a different direction from your approach. Louth church is sweet. Bolingbroke I had to look up. Could be bowling brook / broke. I have been in the Greyhound pub in Louth.

[@paulinejackson8105]

I really love our seasonal weather in the UK . Thankyou Jess and Chris for your kind comments . I love America too .

[@SteveDonaldson-r5k]

I'm a yellowbelly (native of Lincolnshire), glad you enjoyed your visit. I live in Skegness and my oldest son lives in Horncastle. He definitely has the prettier view out of his windows but I am about 200 metres from a stunning beach. xx

[@CarlosSastre1013]

Close on the pronunciation of Louth, but no cigar. Enjoy Lincolnshire. Are you coming back to the peak district/derbyshire dales?

[@dirtbikerman1000]

Louth rhymes with south

[@jeanobeano1500]

Louth pronounce like mouth but replace the m with a l thank you enjoyed this and your visit to lincoln where I live. I admire both of you and your open minded attitude to somewhere new thank you again .

[@DaydreamersBound]

Thank you all for the correction! We definitely try to pronounce place correctly, but fail at times. Carlos, we are definitely planning a trip back to the Peak District soon. We have so many places we want to visit. 🤍 Jess x

[@RoyCousins]

Horncastle's most famous inhabitant was Sir Joseph Banks, who sailed with Captain Cook on his first great voyage to Brazil, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia in the 1770s. He became president of the Royal Society and, under the patronage of his friend King George III, developed the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. In later life he became High Sheriff of Lincolnshire.

[@ellenoneill7853]

Have you managed to get to Robin Hoods Bay in Yorkshire yet? You will be stunned by it’s beauty 👌

[@rayfielding]

It’s weekend, Saturday evening will not be the same when You home

[@rayfielding]

For correct pronunciation Louth rhymes with mouth! but as you have discovered British naming can be a challenge, it’s being there and exploring that counts

[@DaydreamersBound]

Oh, dear Ray! It will be a sad sad day, but thankfully, we still have time for more adventures! We can't wait for this next week's videos. 🤍 Jess & Chris x

[@DaydreamersBound]

@rayfielding We definitely understand, but at least we try. We loved exploring more of Lincolnshire. 🤍 Jess x

[@changelocation]

Did you most of the place names end in by.Danish origin as the east was part of the danelaw 😊the churches have different shape design as well 😊my local church in North Lincolnshire goes back to the reign of Richard the lionheart.😊

[@robertfeeley8269]

Weather looks like Sedona, Arizona in March 24, grey, overcast and freezing 😂😂

[@loftygb55]

Lincoln Auto Jumble not Jubilee, its a Swap meet for used car parts and memorabilia held every month

[@MrRawMonkey]

I have not heard of any of the locations you visited in the video so thank you for the experience.😊

[@stephenclarke2206]

There was an independent record shop in Louth called "Off the beaten tracks"

[@AnthonyUpson]

If you get a chance before you return to America you should try to get a look at Pembroke castle in Pembroke town in Wales it’s in a good state of repair. There is also Carew castle in the same area just a few miles away.

[@robertfeeley8269]

You were only 5 min from East Kirkby where they are rebuilding a Lancaster to fly, which is only 20 min from RAF Coningsby, home of the BBMF and the UKs airworthy Lancaster

[@robertdnero2217]

If you get the chance you must visit Winchester the ancient capital of England . Its Cathedral has the longest medieval nave in Europe and the burial place of Jane Austin. It’s a beautiful historic city.

[@lindashortall8761]

I click like even before I watcht coz I no its gonna be good

[@Nick_r]

If you ever get the time visit Huntingfield Church in Suffolk, not too far from you near Halesworth. The roof inside is genuinely amazing! Outside it looks like any other Suffolk Church, then you go inside and wow!

[@captaintorch983]

I think that it is pronounced 'Lowth', as in mouth, but I'm happy to be corrected.

[@martinconnelly1473]

If you have a true Lincolnshire accent you would say it Louweth, like my wife's family.

[@stephenwalker7870]

It's gloomy at times but when your on a walk nothing better afterwards then the pub ...couple of pints and food the plus is if you get an open fire inside the pub.

[@terencecarroll1812]

I think you're becoming British lol 😂 Your statement about how you see things and enjoying them in the best and the worst weather is how we see things. We don't let a bit of rain stop us we just put on a bigger coat

[@DaydreamersBound]

Haha, we totally agree. All that is needed is different clothes to get out and explore. 🤍 Jess x

[@Zefyna]

Should see England in summer. Looks like a different place. I live in Lincolnshire now (13 years) having lived in Surrey, North Yorkshire, West Sussex, East Sussex, Canada and Trinidad. Lincolnshire is the top of my list

[@thefamousfour]

Lincolnshire is not flat as some have described it, they clearly have never visited the Lincolnshire wolds which boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in England! I live on the wolds & it is utterly breathtaking.

[@nigelmacbug6678]

if you could build any style of UK building in the US, what would it be? Tudor timber frame, stone, flint, rubble or brick walled with a slate, thatched or tiled roof?

[@margaretflounders8510]

The church was similar to the one in Woolpit, Suffolk, where the Green Children appeared out of the woods, and were taken in, I believe the boy died though, it's documented so is true..Also it is also the place where the last wolves were used as punishment, "Throwing someone to the wolves" so that was a corruption of Wolf (But you know that this is where Abe Lincoln's family were from?)

[@anitaherbert1037]

Louth pronounced like mouth. Seagulls in land means storms.

[@marshbox]

You visited Lincolnshire but not Lincoln!! Then you missed the gem. The capital, Lincoln and its massive Cathedral and the surrounding cobblestone streets are wonderful. As a native of England, even I was surprised how beautiful and interesting Lincoln was.

[@ironblu4110]

Don't worry, they visited Lincoln a few weeks back and walked on the castle walls. They still missed a lot in the city as it was a brief visit but at least they went. 😂 It was on a previous video.

[@BananaMan-g6j]

The outh in Louth is pronounced like mouth. I think 🤔

[@richardwani2803]

I definitely think you should visit whitby or York both very much worth the visit Bram Stoker got his inspiration from staying in whitby

[@chrisaskin6144]

It's pronounced Louth to rhyme with south/mouth etc. But there are many locals who might pronounce it Low-erth.

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Your driving very close to my flat I live 5 min away from the cathedral

[@davidfenn4444]

Nice video.

[@georgedyson9754]

Americans in the UK are constantly commenting on how wonderful the countryside looks, and how green everything is. Well that is because there is a lot of damp days. If it were all sunny like everyone seems to want it would be a desert!

[@johnritter6864]

I lived in Tattershall for a while and was told an American wanted to by the castle and have it sent to the US. Clearly it never happened!

[@grahvis]

Henry VI of England was born in Bolingbroke Castle, hence being known as Henry Bolingbroke.

[@barryporteous4904]

Fancy calling Horncastle a City!

[@cryptotharg7400]

The guy doing the driving is pretty good, but I wonder how many speed-camera tickets he got?

[@jonathangoll2918]

I was most interested to see Bolingbroke Castle. (I'm too not certain how to pronounce it. Perhaps bowling-brook.) The most famous thing about it is who was born there, about 1366 I think. Henry of Bolingbroke was born into our royal family, being the son of John of Gaunt (=Ghent, in Belgium), Duke of Lancaster, fourth son of King Edward III, by his first wife Blanche of Lancaster. (I think the castle was where an aunt or great-aunt lived, so Blanche went there to have her baby. ) At the age of nine Bolingbroke's cousin, Richard of Bordeaux, became King Richard II. (Quite frankly a nasty little psychopath.) Henry of Bolingbroke was a strong lad, who would grow up to be a considerable warrior; I gather Richard, nearly the same age, was weedier. The relationship between the two was fraught. In 1388 Henry was one of a group of nobles who rebelled against Richard II, but he later made peace with the King. After Richard's wife died, Richard went off the rails; using a pretext, he banished Henry from the country. Henry went on a so-called Crusade against heathens in Prussia. But when in February 1399 John of Gaunt died, Richard confiscated his lands, so they didn't go to Henry, and went to Ireland. A few months later Henry landed in Yorkshire, and got a lot of support. Parliament met and deposed Richard, and Henry took the throne as King Henry IV. Richard was imprisoned in Pontefract Castle, but a rebellion and attempt to assassinate Henry meant that Richard had to go. He was therefore starved to death. (No marks! ) Henry IV is remembered as quite a good king. I don't think he was a usurper, because the most ancient way in England is to choose the King that suits us from among the royal family. But there were many revolts, and the Welsh completely broke away for a while. Henry executed the Archbishop of York; he seems to have felt guilty about this, and developed a debilitating skin disease. He died in 1413, and is buried in Canterbury Cathedral. But all of this happens in Shakespeare, who wrote the plays Richard II, Henry IV Part I and Henry IV Part II! Among many magnificent speeches Bolingbroke is frequently mentioned. Henry IV was the first King for many centuries to speak English as his mother tongue. A cultured man, he loved and composed music.

[@Cryten1974]

Louth, is a lovely town, as for its pronunciation, you got the th right but the Lou is pronounced like you're saying Loud

[@danielferguson3784]

Nowhere in the UK is much more than 70 miles from the sea, which is no problem for many types of sea birds. That is why they appear all over the country. There is no such thing as a 'seagull'. There are many types of seabirds, & numerous Gulls, but as all Gulls are seabirds you do not need to call them seagulls. All Gulls are seabirds, but not all seabirds are Gulls. There was settlement at Horncastle in Roman times. It probably the place recorded as Bannovalium, which means 'strong place at the horn', referring to a spur of land on the river. The English name is a translation of this, & the river is called the Bain from the ancient name. A public weighbridge is where commercial trucks get their load weights checked so that they comply with the law.

[@dirtbikerman1000]

I've travelled all over the world and when I fly home to England, the aeroplane literally flys out of the sunshine through the grey clouds of England in autumn and winter and you land in a grey bubble of gloom It was sunny 4000ft above I literally feel like I've gone in to a basement when I land back in England It has something to do with the location with the gulf streams and the global air streams, why we get crap weather. I live on the 3 counties border with Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire

[@cryptotharg7400]

Lincolnshire is nearly as flat as Kansas, but a lot more gloomy, and depressing. I say that as a Brit. I have no doubt that visiting Americans find it "cool", and "quaint." 😁

[@DECKER1982]

It's the food the Americans bang on about also , how bad the food is here, which is not true .

[@dcanmore]

as Billy Connolly once said: "there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing"

[@spritbong5285]

Much of the architecture in Lincolnshire, in Louth but especially in Boston, have been replicated in the USA in colonial cities like "Boston".
