Hello from California 👋🏻 This was a wonderful tour. It is a bit sad but such beautiful surroundings. Thank you both for sharing. Loved the outtakes….and I’m sending a tip so Stephen can get a new pair of socks 😂. Looking forward to your next video. Take care 🫶🏼

[@judy-angedv7590]

best comment! :-)

[@StephenandClaire]

Thank you so much, that's so kind. Stephen's finally gone and bought some new socks - about time! 😂

[@marybarratt2649]

Such a shame that this village had to be sacrificed. The school house was very interesting. I just think it is so sad. Thank you for uploading.

[@StephenandClaire]

We're glad that the village has been preserved since then, but it is a truly sad story from fairly recent history. Thank you for commenting - glad you enjoyed this video and hope you enjoy the others on our channel!

[@pal7252]

How sad but how educational. This was most interesting. Thank you. 😊

[@StephenandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your continued support

[@lynnjohnston8048]

I love the telephone boxes so quaint! It’s a shame about the village and it is interesting to learn about more of WWII History. Love to see more of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 thank you 😊so glad the church was kept intact. What sacrifices they made to help with the war effort.

[@StephenandClaire]

Thank you Lynn, so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your continued support of the channel.

[@lisadurban3525]

Good video. Thanks for showing us around. In a few more years very little will be standing.

[@StephenandClaire]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😊 It's very sad to think that in years to come, this special place will no longer be there.

[@wendy-moore]

Very interesting. Thank you

[@StephenandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed it Wendy!

[@Amanda_soulofmorro]

Hello hello, I'm also from California and really enjoy my vicarious travel thru both of your eyes 👀. ✌️✨😎

[@StephenandClaire]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@melissadriver7615]

How sad but also what a beautiful place! Loved your video on the swans just didn’t have time to say anything! They were amazing

[@StephenandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed our video about Tyneham Melissa, thank you for watching this and our video feeding the swans

[@rhondamartin3575]

Hi Stephen and Claire!! Another wonderful and informative video ❤🎉! I hope you're both doing well! Looking forward to nee videos this year! We miss them!

[@StephenandClaire]

Thank you so much for watching, we love this 'lost in time' village and its history. We have taken a bit more of a prolonged break than we had originally planned but are pleased to announce that we will be back on your screens very soon! We are currently filming in Italy and will be filming a series on a Scottish Isle very soon! Thank you for your continued support while we have been on a break :)

[@rhondamartin3575]

@@StephenandClaire I look forward to seeing your videos from Italy and Scotland! I'm glad you're both doing well! I'm trying to get my husband to book a trip to Scotland so it's still on my bucket list! I have ancestors from there! Claire, I enjoy hearing you read the signs! 😊 Lovely videos! Have a terrific day and week ❤️!

Very interesting! Really enjoyed learning about the history. Love your vlogs!

[@StephenandClaire]

Glad you like them Blake! Thank you for your support!

[@melissawilson3106]

This may sound silly, but I would love if y’all could put up a map of Dorset area of the places you visit that we could pause and look at better. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.❤

[@StephenandClaire]

That's a great idea! We'll try to include more maps in future videos.

[@judy-angedv7590]

I look them up on Goggle maps :-) Also because I'm currently planning our trip to England next summer (Dorset, Devon, Cornwall are on the menu)

[@denisemusicnut]

The note placed on the church door was so sad. It’s a shame the residents were never allowed to return to their homes.

[@StephenandClaire]

It was very poignant first discovering about the note on the church door.

[@jakebrown9551]

Just one thing you did miss a lot of the village thiers loads more thier to see and thier is a path down to the sea and my family was one of those that Vacated thier and my dad later played as an extra in a movie about Tyneham

[@StephenandClaire]

Oh, thank you for the information, next time we visit we will definitely do some more exploring. I bet you could share some fascinating storied from your family about what it was like living there and being evacuated. It's a village with such a sad story behind it. Thanks for watching

[@martinmather2101]

I've been there frequently cleaning out the pond a few times, the ford needed cleaning, cutting back scrub, weeding, laying paths, mending walls & fences, I've stayed in the barn overnight a few times while we were there doing the work over weekends. Tragically the MOD has removed funding for any more conservation work and we've lost the warden who ensured the displays and plants were all laid out for visitors and who managed the site mostly on a voluntary basis. So we expect the village to deteriorate again thanks possibly to government cut backs. When I first went they'd just finished restoring the village to how it was for a fil, far from the madding crowd I think, since when all film set evidence has long gone :D

[@StephenandClaire]

That's really sad to hear that they're no longer funding the conservation work - let's hope that visitors treat the site with respect and those that can volunteers their time are able to do enough to maintain the village's current state

[@nigeldewallens1115]

Oh you certainly socked it to us! You holy socks are as bad as mine! 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣😉That was a fascinating tour of that once lovely village! Sigh!

[@StephenandClaire]

Haha, great pun! I've since forced Stephen to throw that pair away and invest in some new socks! Glad you enjoyed the video, we'll be bringing you plenty more adventures like this over the next few months...

[@jackiesaylor2487]

Am I the only one that noticed that Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic doesn't start with 3 R's???

[@StephenandClaire]

I think it was a British government policy in the 90s. Speaks volumes 😂

[@puhelimentili805]

I was thinking the same 😂
