UK VLOG 🇬🇧 First Trip to Oxford, the Cotswolds, Bath, & Hay-on-Wye (England and Wales)

[@edenadriennearkwell-smyth6678]

I’m from the Cotswolds and moved to Australia 8 months ago - spent the whole video crying. Thank you for this slice of home x

[@caricakes]

Im sure home misses you too!!

[@terenlarge]

I feel the exact same (except I'm from Leicestershire so not quite so beautiful haha) just seeing English fields and lil towns gets me emotional!

[@plandsandtravels]

@@terenlargeleicestershire has its own type of beauty. Under appreciated county

[@terenlarge]

@@plandsandtravels haha thank you! it does indeed if you know where to look but I'm not sure I'd recommend it for travel

[@cittykat1123]

A 40-minute Cari vlog?! OMG, what a blessed Saturday hahaha Thank you, as always, for sharing your adventures! 🥰

[@caricakes]

hahah thank YOU! hope you have a nice weekend!

[@emilywilliams909]

Such a cosy and peaceful vlog! Perfect for my Sunday morning coffee and chocolate 🍫 🩷

[@caricakes]

omg morning chocolate sounds perfect, im going to go find some hahah

[@amaeve1950]

I always appreciate when you pet the flowers, it's so satisfying.

[@caricakes]

You cant not bop a hydrangea!

[@amaeve1950]

Truth.

[@renee1167]

I spent a semester abroad in the UK and your vlog just brought back all the nostalgia for those wonderful cobblestone streets and bipolar weather😂 Wales and England will always have a very special place in my heart

[@kellyvaliente6457]

England looks so charming in old fashion way... books, cozy cafe and Castle. So lovely. I almost fell a sleep. nice to hear sound of river & birds( Im from NYC)

[@roxannemarieguerin5747]

Point 1: that ice cream would go so well with a scone Point 2: the UK and Ireland are the most magical countries I've been to (I'm 100% sure fairies exist there)

[@hellosnoozie]

I have been a long-time viewer of your vlogs and booktube and every vlog never fails to calm me in the chaos (which is the real world responsibilities lolol) so this is just me commenting to thank you and say we appreciate you so much! thank you for this 40 minute perfect sunday cozy vlog! 🤍 And a huge huge thank you for bringing me back into reading, I was so into it in my teens and now I am slowly going back to it again!!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much, that really makes me so happy :'''')

[@moonprincesslizzy]

I feel a strong sense of home when I see blogs in England, Ireland areas ♡ my ancestors

[@mallorymashburn2999]

Anytime cari uses the songs crush and everything changes I know it’s gonna be an amazing video,but the UK scenery doubled that! So stunning

[@caricakes]

❤❤❤

[@eutuxia_]

This is by far the most beautiful, peaceful, and magical vlog I've watched in a long time. England is so full of beauty. Thank you for sharing! 💗

[@gloomy002]

I rarely finish videos but ur vlogs are so fun to watch i find myself finishing the whole vlog and wanting more. It feels like hanging out with you and i llove itt🤍

[@reyhaneh5384]

Your vlogs are very aesthetic. I love how you show tiny beautiful things that are hardly ever noticed by people 🩵☕️ The Uk is like a fairytale country.✨️🦋🌱

[@swayamsdas2007]

35:06 one of the cutest part of the video.... And this is one of the best vlog (a bit of chill documentary vibe) i watched about UK

[@ashleysipes6923]

This is probably my favorite video you've ever posted! Something about it is very cozy. I can't wait to visit the UK again.

[@caricakes]

thank you!!!

[@izzyhoyle1526]

I had a little cry watching this because of the overwhelming nostalgia and beauty of so many of these places, places I remember visiting as a teenager with my family. This video reminds me of a simpler time and was really special - Always a joy to watch your videos ❤

[@jennifer6833]

This is my favorite vlog of yours! ❤ I can attest the English love to talk and are super friendly, some of the friendliest people you’ll ever know.

[@caricakes]

thank you!

[@hefangfei]

I don't even know how to express it but there's almost anyone in your shots like the places and towns you visited weren't crowded at all and that gave me such a sens of peace and quiet 🥹💖

[@caricakes]

we got really lucky with the crowds!!

[@gabriellesnow_]

The exact type of travel vlogs that I love : beautiful clips of cities/towns, great updates/commentaries and being able to feel the creator's touch and personality throughout the video 🙌🏻💚

[@Distant394]

A totally enjoyable vlog , you came a cross so well , I can see why people wanted to chat with you 👍

[@troybee7815]

Upper Slaughter! That's the village where "Father Bown" is filmed. It's one of my favorite TeeVee shows when I'm in full-on British Senior Citizen Mode (which happens more often than I'd like to admit). I recognized some of the sites. Very cool place. Quaint AF.

[@caricakes]

quaint af indeed hahahah

[@andreeailie9053]

This is such a beautiful vlog.... My cousin and some of my friends have been living in England for 10 years now and they told me it's a whole different world and really changed their view on life and , most important, diversity culture ❤❤❤❤ So grateful 🙏🏻 you posted this one . Btw, still watching Iceland vlog and I can't believe how many nature's beauties this country has to offer ❤❤❤❤

[@mariacamargodepaiva3658]

Cari, I loved the Iceland vlog but this one stole my hole heart. I've lived in England for one year during my masters degree and I miss it so much. Bath is surely so magical ❤

[@caricakes]

[@lucyxx4336]

OMG I wore your necklace from Ana Lusia the other day and that took be back to this channel to catch up! I live in London so this vlog was fun to watch SO wanna visit Hay-on -Wye now..... more than ever! Life been so hard and busy now but booked a trip with myself for one night stay in Norwich :) can't wait! Told my partner we shall drive to Cotswolds then Whales! (His car and he driving haha) He is keen on Costwolds more than Hay-On-Wye but told we got to do both hahaha Thanks for this!

[@Fleurbblue]

I lived in the South of England for 4 years and this vlog brings back a lot of very good memories 🥹 I used to visit my sister who was living in Bath at the time (what a pretty city, right?), we had a road trip in the Costwolds and saw the exact same places you did, and I also went to Oxford with my friends for a long weekend that I’ll never forget. Thank you for this sweet parenthesis. You captured the vibes beautifully 🫶🏻 The perfect content to watch on a Sunday morning!

[@caricakes]

so glad you got to experience that! bath really surprised us :)

[@lisagxrr]

This vlog made me miss UK soo much thank you for all this beautiful video

[@mpoliva9559]

I lived in Reading (half way between London and Oxford, you surely passed through it by train) for 10 years, and was lucky enough to visit all of the places you visited... Your video gave me goosebumps (and a good dose of nostalgia, now that I've moved to another country), it was great to see all those familiar places through your eyes and camera 😍

[@caricakes]

i definitely know reading thanks to all your music fests hahah maybe i'll make it there one day!

[@doorknob559]

So nice to see a bit of home from a different perspective ❤

[@rixanoz]

Love these vicarious vacations 🥰 no really this will be a staple video in my escapism arsenal

[@caricakes]

🥹🙏🥹🙏

[@lbtea7]

Absolutely wonderful vlog! Thank you so much for sharing! Love all the dogs too :)

[@StellaHadfield]

Omg I'm so happy you chose to go to Hay! It's well known for the festival but people outside of England don't seem to go there much. I grew up about 40 mins away so have a lot of memories there

[@zoeamz]

I was saving this for a cosy evening. I did my BA and MA at Bath and now I'm feeling all the feels 🥺💙

[@morganinwanderland]

The cakes, the villages, the architecture oh my! I know you also love Japan and whenever you come back, you should check out Dreamton Village in Kyoto Prefecture. It’s Japan’s mini version of the Cotswolds 🥰

[@caricakes]

omg i will have to hahhaa

[@musicandloveismylive]

That is also the exact same six cast that I saw yesterday! Out of the world performances by all of them!

Ahhh hits me in all the feels, I was there walking the same streets of Bath on coronation day! Isn't Toppings the most magical shop! UK really is the promised land of book stores🦆

Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing Adventures dear Cari ❤

[@lifewithsarahf2858]

Cari I'm from and live in the Cotswolds and found your channel about a week maybe 2 before you came here and I was absolutely binging your content then realised you were here over on your instagram lol. I live about 15 minutes from stow on the wold. I love how relaxing all your videos are they bring me such peace so thank you and it's so interesting seeing this area from an outsiders POV. If you ever come here again I would recommend coming early autumn and visiting Woodchester mansion (you can pay a small amount for a guided tour where they tell you all about the history) and also walking around Woodchester park is gorgeous anytime of the year but specifically early autumn when the leaves change colour, it's one of my favourite places to visit x

[@caricakes]

omg marking that down immediately haha and thank you!! sorry the tourists like myself crowd your hometown so much in the summer :'')

[@lifewithsarahf2858]

This vlog is perfect in every way, amazing scenery good music great editing, and your lovely presence Cari, I felt like I was there too, surrounded by all this incredible beauty. Thank you so much for this wonderful video, 40 minutes of pure joy❤

[@lululand1653]

The Baths in Bath has the best audio guide in the world in my humble opinion, it certainly packs the information into superb explanations, the whole tour brings everything alive. Great to visit Oxford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bath again through you Cari and learn of Hay-on-Wye that is my kind of heaven, how wonderful to explore it all with your parents.

[@caricakes]

At first we thought the 25£ ticket price was wild but after seeing the exhibit and having the great audio guide, the price hurt less hahahha

[@lily-ophelia-grey]

I'm a Cotswolder and went to school in Gloucester Cathedral - what a wonderful surprise to see it in your video! I'm glad that you enjoyed it and hope that the people treated you well :)

[@caricakes]

i cant imagine seeing that cathedral every day! amazing :'''')

My girlfriend Jess was the one who said hi to you in Topping! Was so nice to meet you briefly and I'm glad you enjoyed Bath so much :)

I am extremely jealous, I have always wanted to live in the Cotswolds. Beautiful video thank you. Oh Wales, Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Sheen and my pharmacist. lol! I saw The Six perform on the James Cordon show.

(haha don't drink the water in the Pump Room it's disgusting because so many minerals 🤣) Plus my husband used to live just opposite the Herschel Museum! August in London? Yeah, be prepared for torrential thunderous downpours and sunshine combined, absolutely. Last August we were there when it was so torrential they had to close off some of the tube stations because the rain was creating waterfalls down the steps!
