Why these ENGLISH VILLAGES WILL STEAL YOUR HEART | American Reacts

[@whitfield323]

Been to a few different countries in my life and nothing feels like the English countryside. You can feel the age of the areas and the history that is packed in those small villages. Plus nearly every small village has a pub that’s been there hundreds of hundred of years that is always a good spot to rest and get a pint, or two.

[@stevejohns8753]

Think you should say British

[@Roz-y2d]

@@stevejohns8753Why? He obviously prefers England. Personally, I think all of the British countryside is beautiful, but I have my favourite places. Anyway, this video is specifically about England!

Bless Kirsten and Jeorg for their wonderful channel.

The sign which had, "Duck or Grouse" above the doorway, Neal - basically means "Mind Your Head" (low doorway) - So if you don't duck your head to go in - you'll grouse (complain) about hitting it !!! . . . By the way, are your cracking your fingers or knuckles as you are watching? As if you are, we can easily hear it . . . lol.

The thumbnail picture isn’t from the uk its a town in the Austrian alps

The name Royal Oak became popular after the Restoration of the Monarchy (yes, the UK was a republic for a short time after the beheading of Charles I). During the English Civil War, the Prince who would become Charles II was trying to escape England for his own safety and to preserve the possible future of the monarchy. One of the properties he hid in during his escape was called Boscobel House in the Shropshire countryside. When troops arrived searching for him or any other Royalists, he escaped out into the grounds and hid in an oak tree. That oak tree became known as The Royal Oak. Sadly in the subsequent years it was essentially picked apart by people seeking souvenirs but the owners planted an acorn from the Royal Oak, which was still standing (though damaged by lightning) when I visited Boscobel House around fifteen or so years ago and it was called The Son of Royal Oak. A 99 was called a 99 from long before they ever cost that, I’m pretty sure they were less than 50p when I was a kid.

A free house is a pub/bar that is not owned or run by a brewery.

[@darthwiizius]

Slight correction, a Free House is a pub that is not licensed/contracted to a single brewery for supply.

[@JenniferRussell-qw2co]

The blue plaque was funny bcos we have official ones, all numbered and catalogued, all around the UK, telling you which famous/notable person lived there and when. The one you saw wasn't real, but a really funny joke 😊

[@AngelaVara-i4l]

The grass is so green because we get a lot of rain.

[@TheCornishCockney]

A free house pub just means they are not tied to any particular brewery and are “free” to sell ale from where ever they want.

[@johnsmith9903]

I was just here to say that.

As you like the scenery then You might want to look for some videos of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️ (BTW it looks like the man had chutney with his sausage roll, this is sausage meat wrapped in pastry)

[@veradennis7502]

Yes, Rodda is a Cornish company but the proper way to do a cream tea is the Devon way, ie, cream first...

[@TheCornishCockney]

There are NO McDonalds or Starbucks in any of these villages,or any other English village thank God. They would look vulgar in such surroundings.

[@Roz-y2d]

👍🏻

[@darthwiizius]

"Dog friendly pub" Men get a dog so they can take it for a "walk", the "walk" means "go to the pub".

To replace a Thatched roof like you see on these houses and cottage’s, it will cost between £4,700 to £8,800. Longstraw is used for Thatching.

[@MazzaEliLi7406]

Or reeds.

A friend of mine lives in number 1 Blaise Hamlet

[@CatGrindle]

Blaise is just four miles from Bristol, a major city, so it's not too far from everything you'd ever need!

I yoused to live in tiny wooden cottage right on Hambeldon cricket green, not the Hambeldon that started cricket. Sometimed you would hear a thud because a criccket ball hit the couttage. One night a air balloon crash landed on the green,everyone ranout there cottages. Grabbing roaps to stop my cottage getting coverd by the balloon, we did stop it, veryfunny crazy time.

[@paulmanley7863]

You really have to be there, the air is redolent with life. You can breathe the life. Like a heady drug. You should try to come to England.

[@johnsmith9903]

Rural Development Commission has a great book on how to thatch. Being from Devon I love a thatched roof.

[@gleadhill79]

These little villages are probably what inspired the Shires in Lord of the Rings! 😊

That dear "old-fashioned" lady makes dozens of videos all round UK. I think her husband is German, but he takes it all in, wherever she goes. She is very knowledgeable about everywhere.

[@caroleteare924]

The lady is German too, but has lost a bit of her accent.😂

You should check out the Isle Of Wight, absolutely stunning place, even has a UNESCO biosphere reserve status. Really quiet and picturesque, well when motorbikes aren't blasting past at 200+ mph during the TT.

[@Roz-y2d]

The TT is in the Isle of Man!!!

It's St. Wolfgang in the Salskammergut in Austria.

[@veradennis7502]

Clovelly is beautiful and unique, but it's a real tourist-trap, and some would say, a rip-off. You have to pay to enter. Only tourists visit the place...real Devon people give it a wide berth! There are loads of beautiful villages in Devon which aren't so blatantly exploitative.

[@chrisbugden4288]

Commissar starmer will have those pubs closed soon

[@KH0RIUM]

Yeah, 100% 😥

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

You do realise that pubs have been closing all over the country for the last decade, right? This isn't a new scheme that he brought in 😂 it's wild the mental gymnastics people perform.

Why, as your thumbnail picture, did you use a picture of Hallstadt, which is in Austria. Just very careless!
