I did a tour of Devon in September 1995 [guess that was probably before your time]. I had a boat trip from Totnes to Dartmouth, followed by a ride on a real steam train to Paignton. I was never able to find out what minerals cause those very red rocks. Redness in rocks is usually iron, but these seem the wrong shade of red [too dark].
Loved this video J&J 👍🏻😃- those waterfalls looked wonderful but those slippery paths to it! 😱one false move! Have been to Devon many times but had not “heard” about the places you visited 🙁 do not know why…. 🤔 I went on a “school journey” to Paignton in 1968, when I was about 8 or 9 - the trip took ages on a coach, travelling from Woolwich on the A30! The two places that we visited that I most remember, was a trip to Buckfast Abbey, a Benedictine monastery that was formed in 1018 - the obligatory history lesson about the Abbey and the question and answer sheets to prove we had all been listening… 😬😖 formed most of the day And…a visit to the Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary which was much more fun and exciting! After the trip to the otter sanctuary, we stopped on Dartmoor to explore the flora, fauna and marshes. me, being the class clown (and idiot) was dared to jump over one of the marshy bogs were were supposed to be “studying”. Always up for a challenge, I did a fast run up to the bog ready to leap over it, but slipped on the sodden grass and went feet first, up to the top of my legs, into a wet and very muddy hole. I had to be pulled out of the mud by a very unimpressed Games Teacher and was carried literally dripping wet with green slime and mud back to the coach. plastic bags were put on the coach seat and floor and I was told to sit still and NOT MOVE 😡 and had to remain wearing my smelly and sodden wet trousers and filthy dirty anorak for the journey back to the hotel. I was carried out of the coach by the same Games Teacher and stood down in the car park, who then wrapped me in a towel and removed my clothing, whilst tutting and shaking her head at me. There was no sympathy, no “are you okay, did you hurt yourself?” Just the titters and smirks of my class chums, at me getting into trouble! A lesson learned that afternoon! 😂
The gorge walk was definitely precarious in places! We would be lying if we said we didn’t laugh at your story. When things like that happen to us we always say how we will be laughing about it in a few months 🤣
What a lovely adventure, frogs 🐸 & waterfalls , and beautiful views. Did you lads overlook the rather large sign, that showed rather large , menacing snakes 🐍 🐍 🐍 ? Hopefully, they we’re off on holiday, else where. A vlog , wouldn’t be a JJ Extra vlog , without coffee ☕️ ☕️, it appears you enjoyed it. Also notice you partook in some Willys , always love a good Willy , as you do. 😉🫢😬😂
@janewatt683 Hi Jane: Good on you, as that’s the proper way - clotted cream first, then topped with jam. In Cornwall, their cream is less clotted and more runny, which is why the Cornish Cream Tea is jam first, cream on top. The best, of course, is the Devonshire Cream Tea!
U may like Watersmeet , near Lynmouth Park ya car in Lynmouth , walk up the valley to Watersmeet N T cafe for Another Cream Tea .. Lynmouth is nice it also has a vehicular tran thing going up cliff to Lynton . Valley of the Rocks is nice for a Picnic , and drive along Exmoor coast road is Gorgeous ( u may see some Exmoor Pony's too )
We have been to Lynton & Lynmouth before but the weather was not on our side so we'd love to go back. Not heard of Watersmeet before so a new one for our list and anywhere there is a cream tea available is good with us!
Thank you, great to hear you're enjoying the videos. We head in to London multiple times a year but we don't always film. Sure we will have some videos from there before 2023 is done though!
I don't know. I've been to what I'm pretty sure is the real Ferngully and it's a place called Los Campesinos in Costa Rica. Gird your loins for the drive there!

A very nice video, thanks for sharing. What's not to like amazing waterfalls, lush green magical forest walks and a couple of fairies ❤

This video at some points had be absolutely howling with laughter 😂 But omg those tiny little frogs wow - Great vid guys x
Beautiful! The UK is really a magical place and your commentary takes it to a whole new level. ❤😂
There are certainly some incredible places and we haven’t been to most of them yet! More commentary coming soon 🤣
What a lovely adventure, frogs 🐸 & waterfalls , and beautiful views. Did you lads overlook the rather large sign, that showed rather large , menacing snakes 🐍 🐍 🐍 ? Hopefully, they we’re off on holiday, else where.
A vlog , wouldn’t be a JJ Extra vlog , without coffee ☕️ ☕️, it appears you enjoyed it. Also notice you partook in some Willys , always love a good Willy , as you do. 😉🫢😬😂
Nope we saw it and chose to ignore. I (Jason) also didn’t mention to Josh that I saw one about spiders too 🤣
Lovely vlog lads. The waterfall was pretty. I am not keen on scones but yours looked delicious. xx
Oh that cream tea was delightful and even more so because we earned it hiking to the falls 😃
That is one intense hike! Also best and silliest end of video yet!
It was intense but so worth it! Things don’t always go to plan and we like to show that. Makes us laugh anyway 😂
All the falls were stunning. What a lovely place - even on a rainy day. Going to add this to my visit list.
This was a really Really beautiful fall !!loved the flog.
Such incredible places. We always say if somewhere is beautiful despite the weather then it must be a special place!
What beautiful waterfalls.
I love a cream tea yum!
I didn’t know there were rainforests in the U.K. that is cool.
Xx
With all that hiking the waterfalls were the perfect reward (although Josh says it was the cream tea 😂)
😂👍Yes parts of Devon are still Wild and Prehistoric. Apparently there are still Stone Age People living in the more isolated spots on Dartmoor.
Did you, by any chance, get to Blackadon Farm, with the miniature donkeys? I will be there in September. Nice video!
yes Devon is awesome, good find
Go to Watersmeet and St Nectans Glen
The waterfalls are stunning! I do the clotted cream then the jam. You had a great trip!

Mind the brolley jason !! 😂
😂
If you haven’t been yet, you must go to the New Forest too. Just let me know and I can hopefully help with where to go to find the ponies xx
We have been to the new forest but not for a couple of years so any and all recommendations always welcome 😊
U may like Watersmeet , near Lynmouth
Park ya car in Lynmouth , walk up the valley to Watersmeet N T cafe for Another Cream Tea .. Lynmouth is nice it also has a vehicular tran thing going up cliff to Lynton .
Valley of the Rocks is nice for a Picnic , and drive along Exmoor coast road is Gorgeous ( u may see some Exmoor Pony's too )
We have been to Lynton & Lynmouth before but the weather was not on our side so we'd love to go back. Not heard of Watersmeet before so a new one for our list and anywhere there is a cream tea available is good with us!
It's worth doing on a sunny warm day ..
When u filming in Bristol next ?? ... u been to city of Bath ??
Not sure when we will be back in Bristol as yet. We have been to Bath but it is on our list to re-visit
Have to agree, Watersmeet is great and do brilliant cream teas, well worth the walk
Love ya Vlogs .. keep them coming ... Do u go to London much for ya Vlogs
Thank you, great to hear you're enjoying the videos. We head in to London multiple times a year but we don't always film. Sure we will have some videos from there before 2023 is done though!
I don't know. I've been to what I'm pretty sure is the real Ferngully and it's a place called Los Campesinos in Costa Rica. Gird your loins for the drive there!
Ooo we would love to visit Costa Rica some day…. We will have to settle for Devon for now 😂
@@JJExtra I've heard it's the Costa Rica of England! I'm visiting in June, hence how I came across your videos.
That's part of the original Cannon Teign Estate. The main house is about a mile away. It's a huge stone estate!!
Ah we did read a sign about the estate, makes sense!
I drove past a billboard promoting Niagara Falls as the tallest waterfall in the world...
Turns out it was falls advertising.
Another terrible joke Paul….. we love it 😂 now the challenge is to keep them coming every week!
Just two days guys?
That’s all we had time for unfortunately for this trip BUT a good excuse to go back 😜
Don’t dare stand on those beautiful frogs.
