- We're back with our first video of 2022, visiting t he lovely little village of Stanton, just south of Broadway on the western escarpment of the Cotswolds. This is a classic English village with a church packed full of interesting architecture, a brilliant pub and a newer development of houses that show modern house construction can be done sensibly, in the local vernacular.

SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD TO SEE THIS ONE!!!!!!😍🤩🥰
Stanway and Stanton are so special! The lack of commercialism makes them still quiet and unspoilt... such a favourite place to spend a sunny summer day!
Hear Hear! Buckland next. Also lovely. Robin
@@robinshuckburgh5561 oh yes! Buckland is a favourite of ours as well!!💕
Its so nice, to spend some time on a Sunday afternoon, losing myself into such a rural delight as Stanton and I often wonder if the residents realise, just how lucky they are to be able to live in one of the most beautiful villages in the world - never mind the UK. Its all absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Robin and Ross for your kindness, its all very much appreciated.
We are extremely lucky to live where we do! It’s stunning! Only downside is the younger local generation such as myself often have to move away has housing and cost of living is very pricey! Hey ho, still an honour to call myself a cotswold chap.
Beautiful aerial shots, as well. 🏞️
Ross does love his drone. Thanks for watching. Robin
Thank you for pointing out the Wedgewood cottages. They really are an example of social housing done right. So often it has spoiled the character of villages by ignoring the local vernacular. Also, agree with you that is would be nice to restrict vehicular access to these villages. Think how much prettier Stanton would be if the roads weren't lined with vehicles or how much better the ambience of Broadway would be if it weren't choked with traffic.
Hi Ian. I have been looking today at an aerial photo of Bampton, my home town, taken in 1961 when I was just 13 years old and there isn't a car in sight. It's startling how quickly we have simply absorbed the hideousness of our surroundings as a result of the motor. I am, of course, only too aware of the amazing benefits personal transport has given us all but the aesthetics of our lives are very certainly badly affected. Roll on driverless transport pods without the need to line the streets to store the things when not in use.
@@robinshuckburgh5561 yes, while we might not live to see it, hopefully future generations will.
@@robinshuckburgh5561 You and I are the same age. I grew up in a semi-rural place, with a horse farm to the north and a camellia farm to the east of our property in California, all obliterated by a freeway. I hope your beloved Cotswolds remain as they are into the distant future and beyond. Thank you for photographing the church interior while illuminated by afternoon sunlight. We can see it all much more clearly. I love your videos!
I have missed our little journeys.I got no notification from youtube. I hope everyone is well. ❤
Hi Annalise. I'll point this out to Ross. Not really my department I am afraid but I am sure he can make it easier for you in the future. Thanks for watching. Robin
I've just visited The Cotswolds in December 2021, for the first time. Absolutely love that area!! Who knows...I may even move there...
What a lovely place! The less traffic, the better. The lack of shops and businesses helps keep things quiet. Precious!
So happy you are continuing to show us these special places but I need to say your little doggies do need jackets on in such cold weather. I felt so sorry for that shivering puppy.
Welcome back to the “four” of you! You’ve been much missed. Lovely and informative vlog as always. Thank you
Thanks so much. It's great to be back. Well see lots of you over the next year all being well.
Best Robin
Robin, you and Ross have hit another one out of the park! Thank you! 👍🏼
This is my first time here ty over the hills and far away I'm afraid but how I do love to see places like this 🌹❣️🌿🥀
Hi Lori. Welcome to the channel. I hope you enjoy it. Best Robin
SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD TO SEE THIS ONE!!!!!!😍🤩🥰
The idea of horse-drawn carriages has been haunting me for quite some time. Glad I'm not the only one. I would build lanes specifically for the passage of cars with a complete ban on the main roads in such villages. The place would look a lot better if the cars didn't pile up in front of these stunning houses.
It is just imaginable that within the next few decades personal cars will be redundant, driverless pods will take us where we need to go, and no lane or street will be cluttered with vehicles all the time. I do hope so.
@@robinshuckburgh5561 let's hope so. That would be lovely.
Wonderful to see you once again
Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of England.
I'm so gratefull that you and yours are back. I like to visit The wonderful placas and cities you show and explain us.

Thank you for another lovely video of my fantasy land! But poor little widget was so cold and shivering I wanted to put my dog's coat on her.
The Mount Inn in Stanton is one of my favorite pubs in the area.
Wonderful as always.
Thanks for watching Helen. Good to hear from you.
Hooray you are back.Missed the incredible filming and treacle/golden syrup voice.
We are pleased tpo be back. Thanks for watching. Robin
Great to see you back Robin. Thoroughly enjoyable vlog as always.
Your dog is visibly shivering in the cold. Get him a jacket!
I adore your posts! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to see the lovely villages of the Cotswolds- I hope to go there one day. In the man time, you have put a smile on an old lady's face.
So glad you enjoyed it. It is a lovely place. Keep smiling and thanks for watching. Robin
What a beautiful village
"Traveling" to the Cotswolds with you is such an escape during pandemic isolation. You and the Cotswolds are delightful. Thank you.
Wonderful production as usual. Love the winter jasmine behind you at the beginning, giving us a portent of Spring. The question as to will we ever learn, well I think we all know the answer to that. Please don't ruin your beautiful villages, to late for us here in Ireland, just a handful left. Thanks.
Welcome back! We have missed your delightful and informative adventures in the Cotswold countryside-peaceful and serene!
Thanks so much. Lovely to be back. Thanks for watching and lets have a much improved 2022. Robin
Hi Sir, i m from India. I m addicted to your videos. They are truly amazing. Please do more such videos 👍
I’m just watching for the pups 😅 (joking, sort of) love the names! thanks for showing us around such a lovely place.
I am absolutely aware that Widget and Gizmo are the stars of this chanel. What can you do?
All the best Robin
Lovely places, the essence of a nation lies in its rural treasure, villages and landscapes which have been protected by those who love their heritage ! It gives one support and desire to go on ! Thank you for the documentary ! It is comfort to the soul to watch it !
Love your videos of these pretty villages in the cotswolds , when I’ve visited there I always feel that I’ve come home …….maybe I lived there in a previous life ! Lol !
Truly the great joy of one's Sunday morning...thanks to all involved for this enjoyable visit.
Your dogs were very cold! Shivering. Put jackets on those cuties 🐾
I have been missing your wonderful and informative vlogs and cannot wait for this!
Stanton is one of the few places in the UK where house prices reflect the beauty of the architecture, unlike other places where speculation plays a big role in property values.
I have't looked at property prices here but I am not surprised to hear they reflect the lovely nature of the houses. All the best Robin
Scrappy little boxes !! What a wonderful description
Lovely video. Nice way to pass a -14 COLD snowy afternoon in LOCKDOWN #3 in Toronto, Canada. Many thanks.
I’m so happy you’re back 😊
Last time I was in Stanton, doing a walk I've done a few times before, over the fields to Laverton and Buckland, they were filming the Sister Boniface Mysteries.
Wonderful wonderful👍👍👍👍👍👍
BRILLIANT!
Excellent series...looking forward to when you visit Barnsley.......
I love this.
I'm with you Robin about restricting acsess..I think walking..
Hi Helen. It's a continuing problem of course. Thanks for watching. All the best Robin
great video! I visited Stanton and Stanway the last week of September 2021. It was my first visit to the Cotswolds and i chose to walk 3 days on the Cotswold Way. Finished my first day's walk here in Stanton and continued here on the 2nd day. Lovely little village. Sorry I missed the church and the pub. Friendly English people. Look forward to returning in the future. Keep up the good work with your
delightful videos!
An other lovely dog, your is so schacking, is autum or winter, isn't it.
The church have a wonderfull skulptur work.
Hi Sylvia. Good to hear from you. Thanks for watching.
Best wishes
Robin
Very good and cozy place but I'm wondering why your videographer used so many shots aiming into the sun..
Oh... touveaht freezing? We have -30 C here in Canadian prairies.
seems there was less to worry about the trains than the motor vehicles. Lines of parked cars in the villages are endemic.
The little dogs need coats too. They're shaking with cold. I read that in my small hometown in southern US many years ago some men rode out on horseback to protest the coming of the railroad. They thought it would bring sin and vice. It came. Not sure if sin and vice accelerated or not.
Do you know of any websites where I can look for horticulture jobs or Apprenticeships in southern England ?
Leave this with me. I think I may know the man to ask. Robin
