I'm an American that the chance to visit southern England. I found it magical. The cliffs of Dover were worth it all by themselves. As a history buff, there weren't enough hours in the day. Everything was awesome including the people. London, Portsmouth, Brighton, loved it all. One of the best trips I have ever had.
The 1st time I visited Dover was in the early 90s while on vacation from serving in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. I bought a new Nissan Maxima and covered England and Ireland on one big Pub crawl. I recommend Tiddly · Fox Farm Brewery. Dover was the *best* place I have ever flown kites. I'd never flown a stunt kite in a smooth, strong, continuous wind like that before. I had just switched to a Prism kite that is particularly fast and was putting on a show for a woman and what I assume were her two children. I never got a chance to talk to them because, after a minute or two, a seagull decided to fly through _my_ flight zone and got tagged by like lines. I'd recently switched from nylon to Kevlar lines, and they almost cut that gull in half. A big puff of feathers, a squawk, and a woman running two crying kids to their car. Very memorable; I wonder if the kids still think of that; I'm positive that the woman does.
For how much longer will England be our home? The Makers of England, the Anglo-Saxons, are on the verge of dying out. Even the present MP is an immigrant millionaire.
I teared up at the telling of Admiral Nelsons death. I am surprised at myself. I'm a yank. But I can fully appreciate true heroes. Admiral Nelson was one of the greatest the likes of which we will never see again.
He was a diamond geezer mate. If I remember correctly the British fleet sat on the horizon for 2 years daring the French and Spanish ( Rick doesnt mention them ) to come out for a dance. I may be wrong on the 2 years but I vaguely remember the wait.
I actually had a relative on my mothers side of the family who served at the Battle of Trafalgar on HMS Victory. He was Master At Arms William Elliott. I wish I knew what he looked like, but in those days only well off people had portraits done, so I can only imagine. I do know that he was a tough character in that in his position he was responsible for discipline and punishment on board, and not someone to cross. I think that his character has in some way passed down to me, or so it would appear.
Right, but don't get sucked in. I always treat TH-cam travel videos with caution. They know most people watching these will predominantly be from the country. I think I've only ever seen one travel video where they said they didn't particularly like the country they were in, and I've seen a LOT. 99.999% of the time these videos will be full of praise/"amazement" no matter where they are in the world.
Quite agree Matthew, I live not too far from Canterbury and have added an 'as close to being there' virtual 4k walk through it for viewers to get a virtual leg stretch until the time comes when we can all visit with our real legs. It's surprises me how by seeing it on film makes it looks so completely special. All the best to you.
@@futurez12 I know you probably won't read this but I just have to say Rick Steves is a professional traveler. He has had a show on U. S.'s PBS station for over 20 years. He's traveled all over the world. These shows are not for You Tube. They are not for the people of that country. They are geared toward the U. S. traveler. He also has guide books and runs tour trips. Just to let you know.
My mum was from Kent and I love its beauty, and so clean too. I want to go back one day. All of the UK is beautiful. Tourists think its just London but there is alot more to this country that tourists miss.
I'm french, England is a country I hold so dear in my heart. But the problem is that English classes (in highschool) are boring. I'd like so much talk with natives.
@@MrDaiseymay I know. It's a shame how our governments are complicit with destroying our cultures. Both the UK and US are being invaded on the daily. 🇺🇲 🇬🇧 Only a matter of time before illegals will be in my small town in Ohio. Hopefully they know they better not start anything in my small town. We have protection behind every blade of grass! You guys definitely have our support! Cheers!
i grew up in the USA, native born white American, but I have been to Britain, to Oxfirdshire, Drayton and environs: it was amazing, beautiful. The older folks in the Wheatsheaf pub were easy to talk to, curious of me, as i was of them, and it was a totally friendly exchange of opinions and cultural observations. England is a magical country, I wish I'd have seen Wales, but i was lucky to get there once!
The absolute master of the travelogue - I can't believe how much information he crams into these 25 minute films! For those of us who prefer to travel vicariously, this really is going first class.
Thank you for uploading this video , ever since I read the poem' Dover beach' by my favourite English poet - Matthew Arnold ,I was eager to see the Dover beach.🙏🙏❤️❤️ from India.
When you visit our beautiful country, please don't be tempted to lie on the edge of the chalk cliffs and peer over, there are cracks, and there are falls. Lying underneath 5000 tons of chalk can easily spoil one's holiday.
@Wisdom Perception - No seriously. You need to be very careful on the chalk cliffs. Theyre very dangerous and crumbly. Especially near the edge it cracks. We are always warned to stay away here in Kent. It’s health and safety, not “a typical English attitude”. We dont treat people like children, England is the birth place of less government and more individual freedom. We believe everyone should be allowed to do what they want within the law.
I have come to the conclusion that all countries in Europe have beautiful landscape, countryside and history. Italy is probably the most stunning country, it has everything. UK as a whole is green and beautiful.
I was thinking about going to brighton but it's changed so much looks like Camden in the late 90s , everyone trying to show how individual they are but end up all looking the same ...
I live in England I love my country. Would never want to live anywhere else . We have a beautiful country from Lands end to John oh groats . Thanks Rick for sharing my beautiful country to everybody.

I’m so happy you made this episode! I live in a market town called Faversham which has existed and has had a prosperous market square since Anglo-Saxon times! Faversham is in the county of Kent which is in the South East of England, 10 miles from Canterbury. The South East is such a beautiful region of England. 🏴
Mr Steve never stop doing this work...they're a visual support for my students' books. Maria Luiza Rodrigues Acerbi. Thanks God for a human being like Mr Steves! He accomplishes the difference!
Rick, your videos are always fabulous! My wife and I watch together, and you make each region look so attractive that we can't decide where to visit first!
England has so much history and if I may be so bold has made plenty of history too, kind regards from Blighty Steve glad you enjoyed our beautiful country please feel free to come again.
I’m a born and bred Dovorian, my secondary school was just beneath the castle battlements. You could do a whole episode on Dover alone. The Roman Painted House, the Bronze Age ship, history from ancient Caanti (local tribe) through the Roman invasion and settlement, via the Napoleonic wars, two world wars and onward to the present day. Always my home and always at the fore of historical events. Great town.xx
@@chaden9498 Well before a certain division in the past, our history is very much their history too. I can't blame them for being proud of our heritage. I am as well.
Love the out-takes at the end, too! My husband visited Portsmouth while serving in the US Navy, so it is nice for me to be able to see it for myself. And my English pen-pal sent a post card from Brighton where I can also go sight-seeing thanks to your video,
@Dal J Guess she means accents. Unfortunately for her, I imagine the only accent a non-Brit would be easily able to understand is the South-Eastern accent.
Walked the Severn Sisters many times, along the bottom when the tide was out and along the top when it was in. My Dad and I were even rescued by helicopter in 1956 when caught by an incoming tide. I was 10 and it was quite an experience.
I must say, the music for this episode is exceptional. Really like the piano+strings cue for the Dover Fortress section, and the recorder theme for Canterbury Cathedral. Well done indeed.
Thank you for posting this video; I was born in Brighton and have worked there as well as Eastbourne (Beachy Head) as well as many other places in the UK and Italy. It was a real pleasure to see my home town and known areas. East Dean is stunning and I have drank their many times with friends. I now live in the north west, the Lake District. If you haven’t done footage here you really should - it is magnificent. God bless and stay safe and well.
Thank you Rick and your take on the south east which coincidentally is my “neck of the woods”. Always fascinating to see and hear the views of visitors. I think it's all too easy to forget what a very pleasant part of the world we inhabit and many of your videos are very worthy reminders. My wife is only now just beginning to discover the UK and is well and truly immersing herself in its history and beauty.
Dear Rick, thanks for this Beautiful Video.We visited in ouer Hollydays in the Year 2015 from July to August.A verry Amazing Land ❤I love it.👱♀️🏴🇩🇪🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻👋
Thank you Rick, absolutely splendid. Only one point, the ' battle ' site at Battle, the open field, has pretty well been dismissed by recent archeology, which now places the actual battle site close to a roundabout on the outskirts of the town - interesting :)
God bless you brother. Great to see you outside The Still and West pub in my home town of Portsmouth, UK. Your videos are some of the best travel guides online. Thanks. Love that guide's accent on the HMS Victory: proper Pompey accent.
I lived and worked in Brighton for 3 yrs but with 2 small children never ventured further than ever castle in kent . No Dover No Portsmouth. Regret it now . Thank you very pleasant You always show the nicest side of every where.
The sea is calm tonight. The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!
Thank you so much for making these films Rick. I have not been able to travel far due To having M.E so I really appreciate these Interesting films of the u.k. Thank you God Bless
I have walked the Seven Sisters and through the Birling Gap to the Tiger Inn pub in East Dean. I cannot tell you how glorious a walk that is. Absolutely wonderful. When this blasted lockdown/covid is over I plan on doing it again. Oh for a wonderful cold pint outside in the sun with friends and family!!!
Southeast England is THE most perfect place to live in my opinion ♥It's near the beautiful beaches and calming seaside, while also being close to London :) The weather is great, the villages are beautiful and it has everything I could ask for all in 1. I can't wait to move there!
Portsmouth is my hometown abd i love it here.. but he is right about some of the godawful post war architecture.... so much of Portsmouth was bombed... both my parents spent there adolecent years from age 14 to 20.. and grew up experiencing the bombing and frequent air raids and of course rationing.... both their fathers(my grandfathers) served in the Royal Navy and spent most of the war away on board ship... one of my grandfathers experienced serving on 2 different ships that were sunk by the Germans.. one in Scapa Flow and one in the Med.... in 1957 when i was 5.. i still recall areas of undeveloped demolished buildings that were old bomb sites..12 years after the war.... Portsmouth was always one of the poorest cities in the country.. was pretty much broke after the war.
Don't go too near to the edge of the cliffs, they crumble from time to time. The cliffs at Birling Gap underwent a large rearranging about 20 years ago. I used to live in Brighton four days a week ... I miss the walks along the front and the cafe that sells homemade Italian ice cream. Thank you for the documentary, happier times
what a great magnificent gorgeous film as usual, I want to thank u so much that u showed us the most beautiful views in the world for every one who cannot travel there at the moment and transferring all the info for us about those beautiful countries , thank u for the great effort that u have made to introduce these documentary films with a great photography and the beautiful direction , thank u for introducing the beauty of tourism into the world, really we cannot thank u enough
Thanks Steve's for sharing this beautiful information england Scotland I really enjoy watching your all programs I want visit this place one Day thanks dear Steve's you are the best 👍 always
After WW2 much of Europe had been bombed, and therefore required rebuilding “fast”; hence poorly executed post war architecture. So sad, but luckily it’s being replaced in many areas!
@mary hartsdale They want us like Rabbits in a box -- squeeze us all out of the countryside into Smart Cities and 'Re-Wild' the countryside including some farmland. At least with the 60s tower blocks there had to be a designated amount of free space around each block -- not any more -- they're just packing them in.
@@tamaracarter1836 Many of the hideous buildings of the 60’s and 70’s were not replacements from war time destruction but a deliberate attempt by politicians in league with architects to “modernise” the country. The results of course were a disaster. The good news is that a lot are now being replaced with better buildings though regrettably in some cases the replacements are not much better.
Rick, I love your shows and tours. Please consider tours/shows further east in Europe. Georgia , Armenia, the ‘Stan’s. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine. Also thank you for making these “free” as I do have access to a PBS. Happy travels 🍻
I'm Indian,I like to watch your all videos.... Feel like I am there....but .it's not possible.. really you r great , because making this kind of video... Thank you so much, keep healthy sir...🙏
Gracias por mostrarnos tan extraordinarios lugares y paisajes. La música, su relato y las imagenes te hacen viajar y desconectarte de donde te encuetres. Extraordinario y magnifico! !! Un millón. Un abrazo desde Chile
I was born and grew up in southeast England, I've also served my country and travelled to many locations across the world but for me you still can't beat the Kent countryside in Summer. I currently live in Humberside, and the northerners seem friendly enough 😉
One other thing, for those who may be interested, the ship ' Warrior ' was the first of a new navy, Victory was old navy, men often press ganged into service, terrible conditions and food. With Warrior, men applied for positions, they were well paid, uniforms were washed and cleaned and food was much superior, setting the tone for the modern navy as we know it today. If you have the opportunity, take a full tour around this fabulous ship, almost lost, but saved and restored just in time.
Rick, were really enjoying the travel through out Europe. I would love to see how individual citizens live in their towns and valleys. Thanks for taking us along. God bless! 😍😄
Hi there Rick at this time when we can't travel, I've added 'as close to being there' virtual 4k walks, including many in Europe. I hope it'll give both you and your viewers an enjoyable leg stretch until the time comes when we can visit with our real legs. Thanks for all you do and keep 'em coming won't you?
I always love watching all your videos, it inspired me more to go to Europe. Hoping someday I would be able to visit this places you've been. Thank you.
This is my favorite Brighton. 👏👏👏The white lime coastal street of the Strait of Dover. I lived in London. I'm very happy. Thank you very much.👍👍👏👏💝from,japen in toyoko

im literally crying england is so beautiful
BRITAIN AS A WHOLE, IS BEAUTIFUL.
I can't get enough of English history, sites and culture. I must have lived there in some previous lifetime.
That may very well be the case !
Whatever the naysayers may suggest - there is literally NOWHERE like England.
Every time I come to England it feels like coming home. I love it.
For how much longer will England be our home? The Makers of England, the Anglo-Saxons, are on the verge of dying out. Even the present MP is an immigrant millionaire.

Great show! Better than most on TV these days!😊👍
Think Rick is the best travel presenter I have ever seen, very laid back. Rick, sure you're not a Brit?
I have walked the Seven Sisters and through the Birling Gap to the Tiger Inn pub in East Dean. I cannot tell you how glorious a walk that is. Absolutely wonderful. When this blasted lockdown/covid is over I plan on doing it again. Oh for a wonderful cold pint outside in the sun with friends and family!!!
Thank you for the wonderful travel logs of Great Britain!
Binging Rick Steves since I'll never get to go to Europe now.
I want to go here one day. So beautiful!!
Southeast England is THE most perfect place to live in my opinion ♥It's near the beautiful beaches and calming seaside, while also being close to London :) The weather is great, the villages are beautiful and it has everything I could ask for all in 1. I can't wait to move there!
Love your series Rick, come back soon. Theres so much more/
Thanks Steve! Your show gave me a love of travel many years ago. I always enjoy your adventures to places I have not gotten to yet.
I love maritime history. I love Portsmouth, have been several times.
Portsmouth is my hometown abd i love it here.. but he is right about some of the godawful post war architecture.... so much of Portsmouth was bombed... both my parents spent there adolecent years from age 14 to 20.. and grew up experiencing the bombing and frequent air raids and of course rationing.... both their fathers(my grandfathers) served in the Royal Navy and spent most of the war away on board ship... one of my grandfathers experienced serving on 2 different ships that were sunk by the Germans.. one in Scapa Flow and one in the Med.... in 1957 when i was 5.. i still recall areas of undeveloped demolished buildings that were old bomb sites..12 years after the war.... Portsmouth was always one of the poorest cities in the country.. was pretty much broke after the war.
Don't go too near to the edge of the cliffs, they crumble from time to time. The cliffs at Birling Gap underwent a large rearranging about 20 years ago. I used to live in Brighton four days a week ... I miss the walks along the front and the cafe that sells homemade Italian ice cream. Thank you for the documentary, happier times
what a great magnificent gorgeous film as usual, I want to thank u so much that u showed us the most beautiful views in the world for every one who cannot travel there at the moment and transferring all the info for us about those beautiful countries , thank u for the great effort that u have made to introduce these documentary films with a great photography and the beautiful direction , thank u for introducing the beauty of tourism into the world, really we cannot thank u enough
i remember having tea at the Royal pavallion wit h my mum, we were served on royal china it was amazng
Thanks Steve's for sharing this beautiful information england Scotland I really enjoy watching your all programs I want visit this place one Day thanks dear Steve's you are the best 👍 always
*EVERY* Modern Building is hideous. What are they thinking adding all those eye sores around all that beautiful historic architecture?
After WW2 much of Europe had been bombed, and therefore required rebuilding “fast”; hence poorly executed post war architecture. So sad, but luckily it’s being replaced in many areas!
They're ruining London with 100s of thousands of ugly apartments with no thought of town planning
This may sound crazy but its a United Nations plan
@mary hartsdale They want us like Rabbits in a box -- squeeze us all out of the countryside into Smart Cities and 'Re-Wild' the countryside including some farmland.
At least with the 60s tower blocks there had to be a designated amount of free space around each block -- not any more -- they're just packing them in.
@@tamaracarter1836 Many of the hideous buildings of the 60’s and 70’s were not replacements from war time destruction but a deliberate attempt by politicians in league with architects to “modernise” the country. The results of course were a disaster. The good news is that a lot are now being replaced with better buildings though regrettably in some cases the replacements are not much better.
Enjoyable travelogue of one of my favorite parts of Britain.
Rick, I love your shows and tours. Please consider tours/shows further east in Europe. Georgia , Armenia, the ‘Stan’s. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine. Also thank you for making these “free” as I do have access to a PBS. Happy travels 🍻
And Russia, don't forget our European neigbours in Russia and the countries in the federation :)

Really enjoy your shows. You make history a wonderful journey!
Gracias por mostrarnos tan extraordinarios lugares y paisajes. La música, su relato y las imagenes te hacen viajar y desconectarte de donde te encuetres. Extraordinario y magnifico! !! Un millón. Un abrazo desde Chile
Your books are so useful! I have used them several times on my trips to Europe. Love them and your shows. Thank you for doing what you do.
I was born and grew up in southeast England, I've also served my country and travelled to many locations across the world but for me you still can't beat the Kent countryside in Summer. I currently live in Humberside, and the northerners seem friendly enough 😉
One other thing, for those who may be interested, the ship ' Warrior ' was the first of a new navy, Victory was old navy, men often press ganged into service, terrible conditions and food. With Warrior, men applied for positions, they were well paid, uniforms were washed and cleaned and food was much superior, setting the tone for the modern navy as we know it today. If you have the opportunity, take a full tour around this fabulous ship, almost lost, but saved and restored just in time.
Rick, were really enjoying the travel through out Europe. I would love to see how individual citizens live in their towns and valleys. Thanks for taking us along. God bless! 😍😄
Looking as a piece of heaven.amazing england
Some of the most beautiful countryside I know is in SE England
You've probably not been to Yorkshire.
i love Enngand.
Thank you Rick Steves
I toured this area a couple of years ago. Rick's video showed me that I missed a few interesting spots. Thanks, much.
What a beautiful episode.....
I can watch it endlessly!
Good video. The Tiger Inn at East Dean is the quintessential English country pub. Nice beers and ales, friendly atmosphere.
you the landlord?
Philip Croft. No, I've just been there a couple of times. Very nice.
Hi there Rick at this time when we can't travel, I've added 'as close to being there' virtual 4k walks, including many in Europe. I hope it'll give both you and your viewers an enjoyable leg stretch until the time comes when we can visit with our real legs. Thanks for all you do and keep 'em coming won't you?
I always love watching all your videos, it inspired me more to go to Europe. Hoping someday I would be able to visit this places you've been. Thank you.
