We Want to Live in Ludlow

[@aslandama]

One of the best 30 odd minutes I've ever watched on KZbin. You two gorgeous people are wonderful, I'm sure some TV talent scout is on your tail but don't ever change.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@sharonjones86]

You should go to Knaresborough its gorgeous there.Loving your channel.

[@bazbarrington250]

Your editing skills are outstanding. The inserted clips and music choices are perfect for the situations. A mixture of serenity, historical information, factual details with a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure. It's yet another outstanding video.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you mate, that means a lot 😊

Well done guys. Really enjoyed our tour of Ludlow. One day I'll have to visit. Such a change to find videos on KZbin presented in a natural and relaxed manner. Mind you the Yorkshire humour helps. Keep it up guys. PS. Know what you mean about the shoes. I had a pair with holes in heals and when I walked they sounded like ducks quacking. Mind you I never went short of bread.

[@davethompson247]

Like stepping back 50 years, one thing I did notice, a distinct lack of 'newcomers' to the town of Nimby, sorry I meant Ludlow

[@KC-rf7dv]

Oh my goodness what amazing buildings. Also the castle was unbelievable. The people back then definitely knew how to build things to last. The old pubs are the best. Old churches are beautiful buildings. We get none of that type of buildings. The history/the amount of people that have walked around them places. What a beautiful place.

[@ousetunes]

Your content keeps getting better and better. I've really enjoyed these last 2 videos. Your editing, inclusion of captions and information along with music is a credit to you.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you 😊❤️

Thanks for this video. We have a campervan, and Ludlow is now very much on the list of places to visit 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dubdaz1]

If you and Helen opened a parlour pub your subscribers would pack it out every time you chose to put the lamp on. Seriously you and Helen would make a cracking landlord/landlady, bloody hard work though. That last Parlour pub had the squeakiest door Ive ever heard, I originally thought you were overdubbing it with a carry on screaming sound clip 😂

[@bythecurb]

I loved the squeeky door. Really added to the ambience

[@vonsharpe1192]

100% agree.x

[@carrieboultby7516]

@@bythecurb Ah, so that was deliberate! Oh, I thought it was just a random door squeaking in the background :-)

Great video. Have an Airbnb Ludlow reservation in September. Visiting from Texas. Thank you

[@SusanHaversham]

A great advert for Ludlow. A beautiful place even when the skies are grey.

[@stevenwarner7823]

Hi Chaps. Going to show my age on this comment😮 During my Letterpress Printing apprenticeship I was taught how to use the monotone Ludlow typesetting machine. It comprised of more independent parts all of which moved that was the most challenging process I've ever seen. I was told it was manufactured in Ludlow and it now makes a lot of sense when you pointed out the Readers room. A reader used to be a full time job proofing the formes and of course reading and checking for mistakes. Allegedly I was one of the last apprentices taught to use this machine in UK before interrupting my apprenticeship by the NGA union to retrain in modern technology of Lithography. Anyway your video stirred memories of times gone by. Many thanks and I'm not surprised that there as many pubs in Ludlow as the machines would drive a sane man to drink. Great video guys and all the best from Australia.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you for the info. Very interesting 😊

[@Jiayne1335]

That was one hell of a squeaky door on the last pub, James's New fav pub taking over from the last pub. lol. very bueatiful building all around Ludlow , Martyn was a character and new the area very well. Nice new old coat Helen, looked very smart indeed. Was very enjoyable and entertaining from start to finish.

[@Robhalifax]

This is now my favourite youtube channel. And its just a couple of people having a pint or three. You've found your niche.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you :-)

[@catevanslife]

Katherine of Aragon and her first husband Prince Arthur Tudor lived at Ludlow Castle where he died from the sweating sickness. Thus his brother Henry became heir to the throne.

[@ColinOBear]

Ludlow really is glorious. I've been a few times and each time I discover new things. ❤

[@alfresco8442]

Lovely video of a lovely town. My (then future) wife and I went to Crete just before we were married, but we had limited time for a honeymoon...so the Feathers was the chosen venue. Ludlow is an acknowledged foodies heaven, in addition to the setting and the architecture.

[@ianhly]

Watched all your videos, never ever commented on any of them, but after watching this one i just have to .. Absolutely brilliant !!! Thank you .

Hi both what a great video. We love Ludow lots of great pubs. We used to park behind the castle by the river until a barrier went up but after seeing where you stayed we may give it another try. Looking forward to your next vid..

Hi James, I know you like to combine your trips with visits to old pubs, why don't you try the "Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem" In Nottingham which dates back to 1189, you will love it

[@watersash7542]

Hi guys. After watching the Shrewsbury vlog myself and my partner Julie were hoping you would come down to Ludlow. We are both (Ludlovians) born and bred. We have seen so many changes throughout the years. We think there were about 23 pubs in the 70's and 80's and the town was alive but sadly one by one we have seen them close. Thanks for all your great vlogs, we appreciate you covering our lovely Ludlow.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you. We loved Ludlow

Ludlow looks a fantastic town. I do love how you get giddy with excitement over the architecture. It’s brilliant. The buildings are beautiful. But those two pubs were AMAZING! 😮😍 Loved them. So atmospheric.

[@bythecurb]

The two best pubs ever!! 🙂

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

Way used to have a old pub like that. The was just a little door with a little bar built-in. Some geazer moved in resentley and has smashed it to bit's. He has been done for it.

[@Ria0410]

You need to come back to Ludlow and buy some Ludlow sausages at Walls (next to the Blood Bay). If you'd have carried on right down the road from the Angel and gone under the Broadgate you'd have come to The Wheatsheaf pub, which is a great pub. Also you missed a visit to the Ludlow Brewery!! Can't rate the Angel highly enough. Fantastic food and a great setting.

That was great to watch. 👍 what an amazing place Ludlow is. Those old pubs were fantastic. Such character. I live in Lancaster which is a very old city but a lot of the old buildings have gone now, or been refurbished and even a lot of the old pubs have now been changed into student accommodation. 😧 Lancaster Castle is definitely worth a look around, they do guided tours and you can go into the old cells, and there's a lovely cafe been built inside the Castle grounds. I just love you guys & your videos and so look forward to the next ones. 😊 your videos just keep getting better & better. I know you nearly came to Lancaster, I saw your Morcambe video. 👍 Let us know if your planning on coming back to Lancaster I'll meet you guys for a pint. 😆🍺🍻 xx

Thank you Lisa, we will definitely give Lancaster another go 😊

[@lisagelder1859]

@@bythecurb that's great. Let's hope the sun is shining next time you visit. 😁🌞 There's still a few old pubs left in Lancaster. One called Merchants 1688 which was a 17th century wine cellar with beer garden. And there's a 15th century pub called The White Lion, which is said that The Pendle Witches had their last drink in before taken to the gallows. 😮 There's a plaque outside with all the names on. And then there's The 3 Mariners Pub which is meant to be the oldest pub in Lancaster, a 15th century Grade 2 listed pub, its very nice & that too has a lovely beer garden it's on the Quay in Lancaster. 😁🍺👍

When we visited Ludlow, we would always have a vist to Ross on Wye, then go to Symonds Yat, and walk up to the top of Yat rock ( its an easy hike James) the views of the river wye from there are spectacular, also you can watch the Peregrine falcons, And hire canoes on the lovely river wye.
