I don't know where you live, but if you really want to go then its possible. If you smoke, cut down or better still stop and put the money ibn a jar. Same with drink, take a couple of nights off and save. In a year or 2 the money is there, and don't forget the money you spend at home while you would be on holiday can be taken too.
When we go to our local theatre (Colchester) we park and walk through a Roman archway in the Roman walls to get to the theatre. When we were first in the USA I was telling a girl in a shop that we lived near the oldest town in Britain, founded in AD54. She was amazed. "Gee, that's old! 1854!" When I put her right she found it hard to believe me.
Thanks! I am a fan of history, in particularly ancient Britain. I really enjoyed touring the baths in 1998 and was interested to see the visual additions you've presented. When I was there you had to pay to sample the water. I didn't. When I was there a ticket to the baths also let you into the costume museum nearby, which was also fascinating.
I love the way you convey your excitment and enthusiam for the places you visit. As others have remarked, the profressionalism and presentation style of your vlogs is as good as, if not better, than most commercial TV travel shows I've seen.
Wow, just found your channel. Well done ! My wife and I spent 16 days touring the same locations as both of you and at the same age and were married 9 years at he time. Plus she has the same red hair and desire for travel ! That was in 1975, 42 years ago. Thanks to technology and your vlog we get to do it all over again!! We'll let you know when you catch up with our list...
It was fantastic seeing you in the Romans Bath. My husband is English living in Perú after almost 50 years married he started telling me a story when he visited his aunt at 13 years old. And I said lets see, so I looked at you tube and find you both. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TOUR
I love when you do videos of England and Scotland!!! My only favorite places in the world!!! Being from the USA guess it is my Scottish roots! Maxwell castle!
Travel chanel, why have you not given these guys a show yet? Best chanel on YT, just in front of brave wilderness and GMM. Amazing job Eric and Allison, very very welcome back
I live near Cirencester and can recommend visiting the Corinium Museam to find out all about the Roman history. Also check out the open air Roman ampitheatre in the town. Also, visit Heathers Cafe (down a little alleyway off Black Jack Street) for the best service and really lovely homemade food. Love your vlogs and excited that you are visiting . 😊
Happy New Year folks! I'm in Manchester (just up North) and I think you'd love it. Great local food shops/markets, amazing things to see, and great countryside to visit round it. Love Manchester so much!
Haha, funny what you said at 2:14. My friend came from Norway and said, you only have to throw a stone in any direction form where you live and you hit something interesting and mega old.
I remember visiting Bath and Bury St Edmunds (another amazing town ) when I was out there. I definitely want to go back! Waitrose and Asda have the best snacks.
I love the Roman Baths. If you visit in summer they open them up into the late evening and have them lit up with torches. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
This is the part of the country I come from. Mostly I'm happy here in the Fens, but when I watch videos like this, I feel homesick and want to move back.
I live in Bath! I haven't been to the Roman Baths myself for years, but it would be cool to go back and have a look. The Christmas Market is generally disliked by most locals because it makes the town unnecessarily busy and in some cases ruins business for certain local shops, but on the whole it's a fun event. Also every time I walk past Gong Fu it's empty but I'm told the food in there is pretty great, it's nice to see vloggers who are bringing recognition to otherwise hidden places around the UK, despite Bath's popularity with tourists, I don't see many people documenting it, and it always makes me really happy when they do (it's especially fun to point out places I recognise and be like, "Wow, these people are walking where I was walking the other day!")
in somerset we have Longleat the festival of light which is amazing, look it up on line, its set in Lord Baths estate, also Dunster and Xmas Dunster by candle light, so much more.
If you haven't got there yet, I would recommend a trip to Glastonbury for a day at some point in your travels. It's History is really interesting and the view to and from the Tor is spectacular.
Well if you're heading to Stratford, Birmingham is close by. There is a HUGE Chinese/Asian supermarket there called the Wing Yip where you should find any ingredient you will need to create any of your dishes.
Worked in Bath for 40 years and was a surveyor working on a major refurbishment to the baths in the 80s. Also swam in the hot baths once a year until 'the bug' killed swimming before it killed us ( happy days )
Watching things like this make me love my home town even more. You should definitely come back in a couple of years time when the Abbey (not a church) has finished its renovating where they are excavating underneath and opening the entire building up and making it really interactive and linked with the Baths :)
I looove the cotswolds, it is so beautiful there! I visited Bath back in 2002 when I was a kid, it's really cool to see how it's changed - definitely didn't have any fancy holograms then haha. We lived in Cirencester at the time. Dying to go back again!
I'm lucky enough to live in Bath, I never get bored with the views and history here. I also like the locals, kind of 'Posh Hippies' and retired academics. I was raised in a rough, industrial northern town called Gateshead (not recomended for a visit, but Newcastle, just over the River Tyne is a cracking weekend party town). It's a shame you didn't get to see Bristol, maybe next time?
Thank you for sharing this vlogs on Bath! My wife and I were in Scotland/England for a month this fall and only had a few hours in Bath but have already decided to spend a few days there the next time. I’ve noted the B&B you recommended! By the way, I loved receiving my first postcard and am already looking forward to the next one!
Always love your videos but the ones in England always are special to me and make me feel homesick to when I was living there. Absolutely love Bath and the Roman Baths and the history behind it is super interesting! Great video as always and curious to see what else you got up to in the UK. And happy new year to you guys from the Netherlands!
I took a bottle of that water for my Mam in 1974 - she had a constant ache in her left arm for years. She asked me to get some for her and it cured her aching arm for good -
@@lovelybitofbugle219 Thanks --- because it tasted so bad, she drank an egg cup full a day for about a week -- must be the sulphur and minerals in the water 😊
Did I hear you say at the end Alison your heading to Shakespeare’s birthplace? You will be heading to Stratford upon Avon then. Stratford is a wonderful place, as is nearby Warwick and my home city of Coventry. Lots of medieval historic places to see at all those locations. Enjoy guys!
Really cool! I'd been to Bath years ago, but it wasn't all souped up with that cool downstairs area!! Thanks for sharing another really cool adventure. Its cool that you're into history... history's cool!
Lots of love from Bath - glad you enjoyed the tour of the baths - I've only been here for 25 years and still haven't gotten around to visiting (and it's free for Bathonians) - guess it's lasted 2000 years, so it's still be there tomorrow. Enjoy Corinium Dobunnorum..
Dave F I’ve lived here all my life and the only time I ever went into the Roman Baths was on a school trip when I was 11 😂 Stonehenge is only half an hour away as well and the only time I ever went there was when I had a friend from Canada visit and I thought I’d better take her there...crazy isn’t it 😀
I will be in Bath in a few weeks! After watching this video, I was so excited to try the Massaman Curry at Gong Fu, but I'm sad to report Google says it is permanently closed 😭
Since you guys are in the West Country, you should maybe go and explore a bit more of rural Wales. I realised that you guys love your hiking and the Brecon Beacons are perfect for a good days hiking (and that also have some great pubs!!)
Great little video very informative, so glad I subbed. I love History and recently learned about the Belinus line that runs from most Northern tip to the most Southern point of Britain in Isle of White, it mentions Shakespeare being buried on it or just off along with links to other famous people like King Arthur and monuments that are built on it, very fascinating. Looking forward to your next video, and happy 2018✌
Yeah, I agree with Lewis it comes from the 2nd World War due to American soldiers being here at the time of rationing. It carried on for years later as rationing lasted a lot longer afterwards. But due to rationing it took a long time for our chefs to get back in the game and up to speed. Now we have some of the best food in the world.
Bath is a gorgeous jewel of a Georgian city! Love Bath would love to be there right now! If you are into fashion. the costume history museum there is fascinating
You’re doing a great job promoting the UK as a really interesting place to visit, even if we do have really unpredictable weather. I recommend if you visit UK again trying staying in a Shepherds Hut - a small but perfectly formed caravan. I posted a video on my channel of one I stayed in Somerset - ignore the not great video/sound but check out the cuteness - cider on arrival, a wood-fired hot tub and a farm field all to yourself! We also stayed in another one in Hampshire over Christmas last year which had an outdoor hot tub.
I had lived 40 minutes drive from Bath, for 50 years ( I visited many times but) it took a visit to us , by Canadian friends , to get me to check out those Roman Baths. a World Heritage site. A case of, yep I know they're there, I can see 'em any time, and never do.
You are both soooo adoreable. I discovered you today somehow, you really compliment each other and have such a positive, fun attitude. It's a shame so far you have missed missed the Dorset/Hampshire area? As someone who has lived across England, Nothing comes closes to it!! Miles of New Forest of Oaks Heather, Gorse, and wild ponies horses and deer, the biggest free four day airshow across beyond a doubt the best beach in the UK, Maiden Castle(A giant Iron age hillfort with the foundation remains of a Roman Temple probably commisioned by Vespasian. Durdle door, a natural coastal rock archway, it's hollow, I'm not sure if you still can but my dad scuba dived inside and saw light shining through and tons of giant crabs. Old Harries rocks( chalk cliff formations named after the Pirate who hid around them) Corfe Castle(not much left after the civil war, but so photographic, plus the ferry trip there is quite fun, and the village is pretty) Hurst castle at the end of a long spit surrounded by water, so close to the Isle of wight you can make out buildings. Cerne Abbas, An Iron age chalk hill carving....who is happy to see you ;). Badbury Rings, another Durotrigian Hillfort, which if you walk into the middle of it and look at google maps is quite impressive. Hengistbury Head combining ancient history and stunning views. And also the Towns and villages. Swanage is pretty and Durlston(a coastal area in Swanage is deffo worth checking out) Weymouth is the real England, still very English, yet scenic and Historic and connected to the Island portland(covered in forts and castles) across a long shale. Obviously Christchurch(historic saxon town with some very pretty streets), Bournemouth(with miles of maintained Gardens) Wareham, Winchester(the original capitol of England and Wessex, home of Alfred the Great) Dorchester(some of the best museums) *Stonehenge* 😁 .... aha... there's just so many more I could list!🙈 Anyway much love to you, and your country, our closest and truest friends. Stay safe in your travels and stay happy.
Great video, definitely will take a trip to Bath myself this year. Never realized how big the Roman baths were. Look forward to seeing what you got up to in Cirencester and Stratford. Good to see Eric developing a taste for spicy food: come a long way since almost dying from eating hot pepper sauce, ha ha.
Happy New Year, Eric and Alison! The way you guys travels are right up my alley. Regardless you're travelling on a budget, you still splurge a lil on food--Dare I say not many budget travellers do that. On top of that you got your own interesting way of showing it, as if Im watching 2 best friends enjoying a meal together. I can sense the genuine opinions u guys have. I got a question tho...Between Bath and York, which town would you guys recommend? From your vids, York looks much more interesting. We are planning to visit UK this year (I still cant believe its 2018! Crazy huh...) Really appreciate all of your hardwork u put into each and every single one of your vids :)
Theres a lot more to see in the Bath area, I'd say but in fairness I do not know the York area as well. I recommend you visit outside of winter though, everything looks ten times better.
Devonian thank so much for the tip! :) Tbh i was tossing between Brighton or Bath. But lean towards Bath more just bcoz Brighton is a beach town I think and us Aussies got plenty of those :D ....York never was on the list. I blame these guys for their awesome film n editing lol.
No problem, Bristol not far from Bath at all is a a trendy and vibrant place thats often overlooked so I recommend visiting there for a day or so as well. Then there is so much in this part of England to see its crazy. Cheddar caves/ gorge, Wookey hole, Coopers hills cheese rolling, Stonehenge, Forest of Dean and Glastonbury Tor and probably lots more that I don't know about.
🎉 Happy New Year to you both. OMG another Asian meal lol 😋 🧖🏻♂️ Those wandering actors in the Roman Baths were hilarious 🤣, so immersive. I met the high priest the “wise-man”, he loved sharing his encounters. Those projections around the baths really put you in there at that time, I love it so much, very adventurous. I found the ⚡️ Harry Potter book series in Latin at the gift shop there 🎁. An amazing place to visit! 👍🏼
It maybe in the comments somewhere below, but you actually CAN swim in the thermal bath waters - there's a modern but super-cool rooftop baths looking across Bath.

hey can you put up the link for the house, loving the uk vlogs btw x
The water tastes that way, because of the sulphur in it as it is a hot spring which means it is geothermal so like Volcanic.
Waited for your reaction to the waters. I think tasted flavours of fish tank when I tried it!
i live in bath
I'm 63. I'll never get to England. So I thank you for showing me what has always interested me. Keep it up please.
You can come to England
Get this man to England

"All the town's in England are charming" hahaha come up to Rotherham mate 👍👌
Talk about compare & contrast?...;) .....roflmao!!
Now that made me laugh.
Adam Eaton He might get groomed.
He might like it. lol.
Scunthorpe, Grimsby too. At least they warn you with the name.
The south has it's A'holes too. Crawley, Slough.
It's the awesomeness of standing on or touching stone structures etc.. that some Roman touched or stood on, nearly 2000 years ago.
Must be even stranger for Americans as those structures are 8 times older than the US 0_O
When we go to our local theatre (Colchester) we park and walk through a Roman archway in the Roman walls to get to the theatre.

This is one of the best videos I've seen on Roman ruins in UK.
Maybe not Wolf Girl but to do the topic justice, it would have to be a documentary.
Hello, I live in Bath which means that for copyright reasons you need to send me a tenner.
And me , I am on overtime so I want £20 ,plus I am in the back ground in this film so I want another ,£20 for that !
I hope most people in Bath don't look like 1:40 wtf?

Pretty cool arnt they ✌

Visited the Roman Baths over 40 years ago and I can still taste the warm iron flavoured water!
Took a tour of Bath, Salisbury Cathedral, and Stonehenge in 2010. Best day trip ever.
Holy crap those ruins looked sweet! Thanks for sharing guys, love the adventures!

in somerset we have Longleat the festival of light which is amazing, look it up on line, its set in Lord Baths estate, also Dunster and Xmas Dunster by candle light, so much more.
Dunster is like a storybook. Dunster by Candlelight is magical. I used to live near there, up on the moors.
Alison is so cute and the way she adjusts her glasses is simply adorable . :)
If you haven't got there yet, I would recommend a trip to Glastonbury for a day at some point in your travels. It's History is really interesting and the view to and from the Tor is spectacular.
Martin n Carol Piper the festival the best
They have a good music festival too?!!!!
Love your whole tour of Bath thanks for taking us along I always love your vlogs feel like I'm learning so much so thanks
Absolutely love your videos. Especially love the reaction to the F bomb at 12:55/ LOL!
Cirencester is like a 10 minute drive from where I live! Hope you enjoyed it, and looking forward to seeing your videos and of Stratford as well.
lovely...and funny the guy was singing a Glen Campbell song in the background! I feel so connected to the videos from England...
Bath, it brings all my memoris back but after the museum its time for tea time👑 the old fashion musem is also not too bad.
I love how they don’t know anything about the romans but I learnt about it when I was in year 2
Well if you're heading to Stratford, Birmingham is close by. There is a HUGE Chinese/Asian supermarket there called the Wing Yip where you should find any ingredient you will need to create any of your dishes.

It's a shame so far you have missed missed the Dorset/Hampshire area? As someone who has lived across England, Nothing comes closes to it!! Miles of New Forest of Oaks Heather, Gorse, and wild ponies horses and deer, the biggest free four day airshow across beyond a doubt the best beach in the UK, Maiden Castle(A giant Iron age hillfort with the foundation remains of a Roman Temple probably commisioned by Vespasian. Durdle door, a natural coastal rock archway, it's hollow, I'm not sure if you still can but my dad scuba dived inside and saw light shining through and tons of giant crabs. Old Harries rocks( chalk cliff formations named after the Pirate who hid around them) Corfe Castle(not much left after the civil war, but so photographic, plus the ferry trip there is quite fun, and the village is pretty) Hurst castle at the end of a long spit surrounded by water, so close to the Isle of wight you can make out buildings. Cerne Abbas, An Iron age chalk hill carving....who is happy to see you ;). Badbury Rings, another Durotrigian Hillfort, which if you walk into the middle of it and look at google maps is quite impressive. Hengistbury Head combining ancient history and stunning views. And also the Towns and villages. Swanage is pretty and Durlston(a coastal area in Swanage is deffo worth checking out) Weymouth is the real England, still very English, yet scenic and Historic and connected to the Island portland(covered in forts and castles) across a long shale. Obviously Christchurch(historic saxon town with some very pretty streets), Bournemouth(with miles of maintained Gardens) Wareham, Winchester(the original capitol of England and Wessex, home of Alfred the Great) Dorchester(some of the best museums) *Stonehenge* 😁 .... aha... there's just so many more I could list!🙈 Anyway much love to you, and your country, our closest and truest friends. Stay safe in your travels and stay happy.
Wonderful Bath
Really amazing video
Another superb video guys, keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed your vid. Somerset is a lovely part of the country glad you had a good time.👍🇬🇧
i live near bath and that noodle bar is amazing
Great video, definitely will take a trip to Bath myself this year. Never realized how big the Roman baths were. Look forward to seeing what you got up to in Cirencester and Stratford. Good to see Eric developing a taste for spicy food: come a long way since almost dying from eating hot pepper sauce, ha ha.
Warm pennies is a good description. I like it but a lot of people don't.
I very rarely watch vlogs but you guys are great' love the adventuring through the uk..
wow now i have a reason to go to that island
Happy New Year, Eric and Alison! The way you guys travels are right up my alley. Regardless you're travelling on a budget, you still splurge a lil on food--Dare I say not many budget travellers do that. On top of that you got your own interesting way of showing it, as if Im watching 2 best friends enjoying a meal together. I can sense the genuine opinions u guys have.
I got a question tho...Between Bath and York, which town would you guys recommend? From your vids, York looks much more interesting. We are planning to visit UK this year (I still cant believe its 2018! Crazy huh...) Really appreciate all of your hardwork u put into each and every single one of your vids :)
Theres a lot more to see in the Bath area, I'd say but in fairness I do not know the York area as well. I recommend you visit outside of winter though, everything looks ten times better.
Devonian thank so much for the tip! :) Tbh i was tossing between Brighton or Bath. But lean towards Bath more just bcoz Brighton is a beach town I think and us Aussies got plenty of those :D ....York never was on the list. I blame these guys for their awesome film n editing lol.
No problem, Bristol not far from Bath at all is a a trendy and vibrant place thats often overlooked so I recommend visiting there for a day or so as well. Then there is so much in this part of England to see its crazy. Cheddar caves/ gorge, Wookey hole, Coopers hills cheese rolling, Stonehenge, Forest of Dean and Glastonbury Tor and probably lots more that I don't know about.
very well shot very interesting history
Love you guys. I tend to click Like before I watch the video 🤣. Welcome to the 🇬🇧 x
What a. Lovely couple
cool glad you came to UK! :)
🎉 Happy New Year to you both. OMG another Asian meal lol 😋
🧖🏻♂️ Those wandering actors in the Roman Baths were hilarious 🤣, so immersive. I met the high priest the “wise-man”, he loved sharing his encounters. Those projections around the baths really put you in there at that time, I love it so much, very adventurous.
I found the ⚡️ Harry Potter book series in Latin at the gift shop there 🎁. An amazing place to visit! 👍🏼
It maybe in the comments somewhere below, but you actually CAN swim in the thermal bath waters - there's a modern but super-cool rooftop baths looking across Bath.
found your videos by chance, anyway I think there great really enjoying them. You guys are real nice folk.
