I'm an American who has had the privilege of living here for 20 years, and I have been to most parts of this walk. To experience this physically is breathtaking, to say the least. The Lake District is my personal favourite part of the country but I have to tell you, there is so much to see and appreciate throughout the country.
Have you been to the shitholes that are real England though?
Considering you guys have Yosemite, Yellowstone etc. and millions of acres of forest, mountains and deserts it means a lot that you appreciate what we have.
Try the Peak District it’s beyond beautiful
@@daffyduck6582 Not bad up Rivington Pike as well.
Try Northumberland as well really nice up here
Guy walks into a toilet cubicle and encounters another guy sitting on the toilet eating couscous and just says "Alright, mate". The most English thing ever.
Getting away from all the superficial BS and walking in this environment is so good for the soul. Beautiful 😍
It really is!
Personally , I consider it essential.
Your reactions make me realise how fortunate we are to live in the UK.
I came to write this exact comment!
@anne-mariethompson4365 me too.
Funny how it takes people from another country to reopen our eyes to what we have. We get so caught up in work , we forget what we're working for.
@@dannydinneen1498 Absolutely.

Yes the British countryside is beautiful . I live in Wales and as you may know we do get a lot of rain here . In the spring. After two or three days rain . When the sun comes out , the grass is such a bright green , it hurts your eyes.
Given how much you enjoyed this you will have to look at a video of someone doing Lands End to John o’Groats (1200 miles from Cornwall to the north of Scotland). You would probably also like the relatively short (84 miles)but both very scenic and historic Hadrian’s wall walk from Newcastle to Carlisle.
I love those sorts of walks, but I, like you, am not really capable of doing them now. I must admit that my favourite place in the world is either Zion National park - so in your back yard - (but the off the beaten path bits) or Fjordland in New Zealand. This is the one I wanted to do, but I don't think my knees would stand up to it now :- th-cam.com/video/w8YkXEdr9Ns/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SetToHike
you talk about your British ancestry, have you done a DNA test. I did mine and found that I am English through and through with 90% or more of my DNA from S-E England
It's beautiful and, possibly uniquely, very accessible. There is the footpath network and the Right to Roam laws which allows anybody to (with common sense applied) access such land. Plus the climate isn't as intimidating as some countries. Perfect playground for those wanting to ramble!
Always love how interested in, and respectful of, Britain you girls are. Right back at you.
Thank you for appreciating England's green and pleasant land. Great reaction 👍🏼
Our pleasure!
@TheNatashaDebbieShow As much as this is a beautiful part of England. You guys have some incredible nature and scenery in America. I remember going to Yosemite National park as well as The Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Mount Hood in Oregon, which is an 11'000 foot volcano. We dont have any mountain ranges anywhere near the size or elevation you guys have in America. Obviously the Western US states have more beautiful scenery in general. I think you guys said you lived in Ohio. This part ot England is the most rural and least densely populated. Once you get to Leeds and all the way down to Sheffield and Manchester it is extremely urbanised and built up whereas north of Leeds is very rural. You should also look at the spa towns of Ilkley and Harrogate which are on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. There is also a place called The Strid near an old 12th Century Monastary, which is part of the River Wharfe which is known as the most dangerous stretch of water in the World, you read that right. It has a 100% fatality rate and nobody who has ever swam in there has ever come out alive, apparently the heir to a royal died swimming in there in the 12th Century.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShowJust realised you did a reaction to Bolton Abbey and the Strid already lol!
Been a tough few days & settled down to watch this while it’s quiet. Honestly I loved it & shed a few tears, (which was probably needed). The video was so beautiful but it was your reactions that touched me so much. Thank you, keep up the great work 😊
That walk was pretty much across wild scenery, rocks , difficult terrain.
I think you ladies would appreciate more, the gentle scenery of many places,
this was a tough assignment !
For such a small island, God has blessed us with some of the most beautiful landscapes on this planet. when i see videos like this, it really make me very proud to be British. I really hope you both get the chance to see God's own Country.. Many thanks you both for the awesome content. I love watching your reaction to things that just seem normal. Keep up the awesome videos.
Being an island nation I think the love of our coast is inbred into us.
I think you are spot on there 🙂
I am not sure about "inbred", although we can legally marry our cousins. I agree with your sentiment though.
@@tomsenior7405 😅😅
Sure is ....
Engeained not inbred ffs
I cycled this route for charity about 12 years ago.
I'd been training for a year beforehand though, but for good reason - I was wiped out by a 3 ton van that hit me from behind. After my recovery, I had to get back on a bike ASAP. I began training again but discovered I had ptsd from the aforementioned incident. This took some getting over, so I trained off-road for a few months before getting confidence to go back onto the road. I was doing 100+ miles in a single ride within months, and that was when I chose to do it for raising money for charities such as a local palliative care unit, the air ambulance and local paramedics.
A month after completing the Coast2Coast, I did Land's End to John o'Groats. That was crazy!! I could barely walk for a week afterwards, but the places I saw along the way will stay with me forever, and to have to raised a lot of money for good causes in the process, some of the proudest and memorable moments of my life.
If I'm ever feeling low, I get out there on bike or just on foot. Ramble. Pick a path I haven't travelled before and just follow it. It's meditation. It's soul soothing. Getting out into the wild is a natural antidepressant.
The sad thing is there is people that live in this country their whole lives and they'll never experience these beautiful places because it's taken for granted. I'm 45 years old and I've only ever had one holiday outside of the U.K. I always said that I don't feel the need to go elsewhere until I've experienced and appreciated all the beauty on my doorstep
Steve my late husband had a touring holiday in Scotland. We stayed at Loch lomond at a bband the lady hD travelled the world told us all about itveen to Nepal wtc.when we wanted to go further north we asked her long does it take to drive to Ullapool. She said I don't know never been there.
Such a lovely reaction ladies and I’m as stunned by the raw beauty of the changing country side . I’m 63 yrs old and sadly have never visited any of these areas . I think so many brits just don’t appreciate what is on our own doorstep. Mined you if everyone visited these areas regularly they would soon become spoiled so perhaps it better they are kept a secret
Just too much to see in the UK and Ireland . I have only left the British Isles once. I still haven't seen it all in 75 years.
And the FREEDOM of access.
annoys me when people visit the United Kingdom and just stay in London (YAWN) thinking that is all there is. the culture and scenary changes once outside the capital. even accents change. Northern England is fascinating. west country is nice. wales is astonishing, The Antrim coast of Northern Ireland and the beauty of Scotland and of course the Emerald isle is enchanting. i wish people would get out of London, you've seen Big Ben now move on!
Have you two ladies ever watched the documentaries about Hannah Hauxwell, and her solitary life on her farm in North Yorkshire? I think the two programs were called A Winter Too Long and A Winter Too Many. She lived for decades alone, running the farm she inherited from her parents with no electricity nor running water - simply awe-inspiring stuff.
To long a winter
@@lynnhyland4151 Hannah Hauxwell was a legend x
Oh yes these programmes about Hannah are a must for you both. Pleeeze watch. x
She was a wonderful brave woman, you won't believe what she had to put up with,and she always smiled.
@@lynnhyland4151 A unique and doughty woman!
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England … John Gaunt Richard III by Shakespere
Just a minor correction: this inspiring speech is from Shakespeare's "Richard II" (not III).
The last line is always missed off. "..... has now sold out, I do denounce it".
And why not? I like it better without.
@@twoofsix3b3g If you read the 1320 Scottish Declaration of Independence (Arbroath), it explains that phrase.
Probably my most patriotic piece of prose, by the immortal Will Shakespeare of course.
Aye, our Willy Shaky had a way with words!!!🖖😁
I can’t believe two American ladies led me to this guy’s walk. I live 40 miles from Robin Hood’s Bay and believe me when I write we Brits certainly do appreciate our countryside 🙏
That's why we leave our litter behind. We so appreciate our countryside.
Wow girls.This was beautiful.I cried!I've had 2 years of cancer treatment,mostly at home.But this?This reminded me of what I've been missing,and what I have to look forward to at the end of a long recovery.Ive not done the walk,but I have seen some of these places,and Robin Hoods Bay is one of my favourite places in the world.
This has really made my day...thankyou xx
You have to read “The Offing”. A young guy just walking and ends up at Robin Hood Bay. Beautiful.
Really hope you get well enough to do at least part of it because it is awsome ....another good one is The Pennine Way. Best wishes for a speedy recovery x
People think the uk is so small you could walk from one end to the other in about 1 day when in actual fact it’s would take you about 2, 3 months to walk the whole 1,200 miles. It would take way over a year if you walk around the whole coast of the uk
We live in St Bees. We’re a bit out of the way but feel free to visit when you make it over to the UK. In addition to the stunning countryside of the Lake District the neighbouring Georgian town of Whitehaven also has the claim to fame of being the only part of Britain attacked during the American war of independence.
Hi in St Bees, I’m in Workington!
That John Paul Jones has a lot to answer for!
Hiya Andrew, I used to live in St Bees, Me, my Mam and Dad used to work for Tom Milburn at Seacote Hotel and Seacote Park,
@@katherinewilliams2676 Hiya Kathrine, I'm from Whitehaven
A few years ago my brother in law and I walked Hadrians Wall, the Roman defences built nearly 2000 years ago. The walk takes you from Newcastle on the East Coast (Wallsend in fact) to Bowness on Solway on the West Coast. Approximately 84 miles, we completed it in 5 days, camping each night. Stunning countryside, fascinating history and a fabulous way to spend week. I'm sure you'll find some videos about Hadrians Wall to react to.
Love this guy. He used to be in the British Army and I used to follow him on his earlier military videos to get me prepared for when I joined 😃
We saw a glimpse of that and certainly plan to react to one soon!
Wainwright is something of a hillwalking legend; his hand written and drawn guides are a thing of beauty and he basically spent his weekends meticulously exploring the hills of the Lake District.
Really liked this reaction, I'm English but now Australian. The right to walk in the countryside goes back hundreds of centuries. Great to see a young guy carrying on the tradition.
so you switched nationality?
@@AleahMartin961 I think you have to take Australian citizenship if you want to stay.
The right to access only goes back to the 19th century.
Are you sure? Even one hundred centuries is ten thousand years.
@@kennethfishwick4061 pedantic comment of the day goes to you. Won't lie I also thought it for a second.
This is my home. Even after 35 years, every walk will gift you something that never gets old
I have done this twice in my lifetime. The scenery is fantastic and the peace and quiet is incredible.
That's amazing 👏🏻
I did NOT intend to watch this but I loved watching it with two beautiful humans. Than you for inspiring me to get out into my own country! I'm depressed and at a loss and think a walk like this might just be the tonic.
Thank you ladies
God Bless!
☦🙏🏼🇬🇧♥🇺🇸
Definitely get out and breath the air and take in the sounds and sights, its great for the mind and soul ❤
Love that you love our countryside 😁 but all I was thinking was how many times he had to double back to get his camera and also carrying his drone as well hats off to him. 🇬🇧🇺🇲X
Exactly! As a former full-time Photographer (Natasha) was cringing at how many extra miles he had to walk just for that!
I was thinking the same thing 😅
Liams walking videos are utterly spectacular. He's walked from the whole length of the UK. I don't think there's anywhere in the UK he hasn't walked. His walks in Europe are great too.
My Brother has cycled that northern C2C route. Him and one of his friends met this female cyclist who had been left behind by her group (apparantly they had some emergency and had to leave), and this girl was a tad lost and not sure how to go on from the middle of that route. My Bro and his mate appointed themselves her guardians, and they went the rest of the way together. She called them her 'knights'.
Thank Heavens for your brother and his friend. In medieval days gone by a damsel might encounter knights in shinning amour on horseback but I'm sure that young lady was immensely grateful to happen upon two modern day knights astride mountain bikes! Chivalry is still a wonderful thing iny book! 👏
The c2c route passes my cottage, I often give directions to cyclists.
I've done the c2c twice to raise money for a local charity, takes 3 days on a bike, but the views you see are spectacular, not something you see every day, great video ❤
I've cycled it and walked it too. I recon it's not as good as the Pennine way which I have done 4 times
Even when he was tiring and beginning to struggle, he had a smile on his face. What a champion.
England is as beautiful as Scotland, Wales & Ireland in its own way. I would not give up my England, my Yorkshire for anything. Thank You for appreciating my country & county girls. Check out Scarborough on the East Yorkshire coast. Simon & Garfunkel sang about it. ❤🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
I spent years wondering what Sagerose was and who Mary Ann Thyme was.
Hi Girls! Love your videos……..I am a transplanted Brit’ in Canada, I am also in my 80s, some what controlled by my arthritis and unlikely to get to England again. So I really enjoy your videos exploring Britain. It is great seeing it through your eyes,you are so right,the country is still beautiful. Well other countries are beautiful,in fact this is a jewel of a planet that we humans seem hell bent on destroying. So glad you are exploring the North of Britain, reaching out of London. So many N.Americans I meet, have had a visit to London and think they have seen Britain. I am not trying to insult London, it is great with so many national treasures but to me a northerner, I don’t really think of it as England…..it is it’s own thing. So just loved this particular video. Thanks so much for showing it and please, I hope fans of your site will recommend more.
@@ianpark1805 😆 Its about thyme you learned your herbs. 👍
@@ianpark1805 What about parsley? 😉
@@utha2665 He's in the garden 🙂
The thing thats mind blowing about some of the uk countryside is looking at the views and knowing centries old ancestors looked at the same thing.
I don't often write second comments but I am so happy you both loved this video and just wanted to say as mentioned in my first comment, that a few miles down the road from St Bees are La'al Ratty (Ravensglass to Eskdale). A mini steam train service which I have added a brief clip to show you how accessible it is to be part of the beautiful and stunning scenery and a taste of Muncaster Castle, with it's Owl and Birds of Prey Centre.

th-cam.com/video/3N753xrbG6o/w-d-xo.html
Hope you will be able to visit one day!
Thanks for those, Susan. Beautiful! X
Not to mention another few miles from Eskdale is the really well preserved remains of a roman fort.
@@warailawildrunner5300 That's right, the Western Lakes holds a lot of history and beautiful scenery.
I did this walk 37 years ago at the age of 40. It was much less well known at that time, but now there is a whole service industry that has grown around it with many farms along the route offering bed and breakfast accommodation, and pubs and cafes along the route providing refreshments to the weary walker. It makes a significant contribution to the rural economy nowadays.
Sharing this with you gals is one of the best times I've had in a while. Hill walking in England or any part of the UK is so magical as you get a different vista with every few steps, and the way the light falls changes every perspective. Really appreciate your reaction. ❤🇬🇧 from Lancashire.
This is absolutely incredible to see and thank you ♥️
6:14 as someone who sees this view every day nearly, I think we take it for granted.
Also would like to mention that, until very recently, all our local drinking water came from that very lake 😇
And as for 7:54, you can drink straight from the springs here so long as you can see at least 1/2 mile each way (for dead sheep)
In my view, the whole of the United Kingdom has thee stunning and diverse landscape.....ever!
Just to add...The United Kingdom is steeped in magical history, walking solo within our land is just wonderful...
Splendid. I went to stay in the village of Glaisdale that he mentions last year. A 600 mile round trip from home. We had a weekend grouse hunting on those moors. I get what he's saying when he says it is looking a bit bleak. Walking those moors is tough going. They seem endless and relentless on the legs. However, every now and then, you just stop and marvel at how wonderful the view of nature surrounding you is. Watching HPR dogs working in such a beautiful place is a joy. A solid and long two days of walking for me and two days of the dog running, hunting and sniffing. It's the only time he's ever been tired out!
The piles of stones are called cairns and are used to mark a path / boundary etc. Small ones, like at the beginning are often made by hikers and you add a stone to them as a “Natasha & Debbie were here” kind of thing without vandalising the nature 😊
Yep. I started one when I was on holiday up on Alston moor. That was about 9 years ago and every time I go back I add onto it and take a picture. I haven’t been for 3 years but I’m going up in May for a couple of days! So I will have to go and see if there has been anything added to it! Apart from some moss ❤
Some are graves as well
@@Mulberry2000 like Dobby’s?
Also, there is the North coast 500, maybe there are video's of it, takes you through some of the most gorgeous scenery ever.
Hello ladies from the wilds of Central Qld Australia. Yes the countryside of the UK is truly stunningly beautiful & usually oh so green. Whitby has a special significance to Aussies as this was the birth place & beginning of the magnificent career of Lieutentant (later Captain) James Cook, the dude credited with "discovering" Australia in the converted shallow hulled ex coal carting barque "The Endeavour". He came oh so close to coming to grief on our Great Barrier Reef when he ran aground on the reef that now bears his name. He used a rare & little used naval technique called fothering which was basically using a sail to wrap around & under the ship to plug up the hole & limping to a safe harbour to repair the damage. The place where he conducted repairs is still (in English) called Cooktown & the river called The Endeavor River
Sorry, but Captain James Cook wasn't born in Whitby, although it was an important place in his life and eventual seafaring career.
He was born 30 odd miles away in Marton, which is now a suburb of Middlesbrough, so he is a Boro lad.
I used to live in Endeavour Hills in Melbourne as a wee kiddy. My Godmother is still over there residing in Noble Park. Myself & my family moved back to the UK as something very mysterious in Australia was causing me immense illness. The Aussie doctors couldn't get to the cause of why & suggested that there must be something in Australia my body couldn't deal with & so their recommendation was to pack up & return to the UK to see if my health improved. I soon recovered being back in my homeland of England 🇬🇧🏳️🌈❤️
@@georgeflanagan5201 thanks so much for the correction. I should have done a quick Google search before responding but was so sure of myself I didn't bother. His early life is a bit hazy but boy oh boy what an amazing career. His maps were so accurate that until a few years ago they were still in use
I am always in awe of countryside in other countries, but you are making me appreciate our English countryside more. Thank you.
Loving the video reminds me of how beautiful your own country is and thus why spend quite a bit travelling around. Can't wait to go Bo'ness on Windermere next week, to see more beautiful views and explore new places. I love the countryside over the city or big towns. Loch Lomond was a beautiful place, and boat rides are so peaceful.
Enjoy your trip, went to Lake district last year its beautiful x
My parents did this on their bikes they loved it!I live on the edge the Lake District and I walk my dog there whenever I can
The reaction reminds me of working with an American army Captain, on his first tour of duty in the UK. He was posted on a station in the 'Home Counties'. He could not get over how green everything was, mind you, he was from Arizona 😉
I went to the Forest of Bowland a couple of days ago with Bertie, our Yorkshire Terrier dog, It was a fantastic sunny day and the views were stunning. Brilliant place. I did the coast to coast when I was in my twenties with my caving friends. Had a great time. One night we camped next to a fog horn for ships. Kept going off all night. Still brilliant.
Our grass is green due to so much rain.. I think myself very lucky to have grown up in the 60s when children could roam off in the mornings and return home when hungry… we walked a lot and played on the beautiful southeast coast or in the woods. The summers were hot and our 5 week summer holidays from school were spent like this.
It was still the same for me in the '80's apart from meals and a couple of my favourite TV shows we'd go back home when the street lights started coming on and you could hear kids parents shouting them in. I think it all changed in the '90's
@Wulla Balloo it changed after the 90's, I was born in 88 and that's how I spent my summer holidays. Turn out after breakfast and go home for tea.
🇬🇧❤️ So proud to be British ❤️🇬🇧 love this Video 👌 Yorkshire such a beautiful place been so many times 🥰 it's views are just breath taking 👌❤️ I would love to move to the Dales 🙄 such a beaulful place 👍
As far as I know all the rustic old walls were created by the farmers of the past as they had to clear them from the fields in order to start sowing crops so they simply reused them, now hundreds of years later we can still enjoy how beautiful they look and are a common part of our countryside.
You’re partly correct but missed out the fact that most of the walls were originally built by the monks from some of the many Abbeys and churches that are liberally spread throughout the country-side such as Bolton Abbey, or as seen in the video Shap Abbey. The Abbey’s would send young novice monks out to create small farms in order to raise the animals to feed and cloth their older brother monks ( in this area it would be mainly sheep) and so that the excess milk did not go to waste they would make cheese again for their abbeys consumption and if they had made an oversupply it would be taken to the local markets for sale and the money raised went among other financial streams to pay for more land and livestock, not to mention the building of the Abbeys and the smaller village churches and more field walls.
@@andrewcoates6641 you definitely know your stuff
Never occurred to me that not everyone is super accustomed to seeing dry stone walls everywhere! On top of looking pretty and being hard-wearing they're actually really important habitats for a lot of smaller creatures here in the uk, including small lizards, lots of insects, and even some small birds! It's lovely to sit on a sunny day and watch who might appear from dry stone walls!
One thing I have noticed is their design varies around the country, as well as, obviously, the stone used. Yorkshire is different to Derbyshire is different to Cotswolds.
@@TryptychUK Also, It makes you really think that the stones used in dry stone walling have all been gathered from the surrounding land, and have been there for thousands of years. It's difficult to grasp the enormity of it, when you realise that the stones in dry stone walls in, for example Cumbria, have been there since the Glaciers retreated up to 2 million years ago.
@@DaveBartlett Along with skilled techniques to build them have been passed down too.
King Charles likes building Stone Walls. There is a film of him building one when he was Prince Charles. He seemed very happy and contented when working on one of his farms.
@@iriscollins7583 As a young lad, I befriended a farmer in Derbyshire that I helped out and he showed me how to repair broken walls. It's not a job you can do in a hurry, but it's a wonderful experience.
Such breathtaking scenery. I loved hearing the nature sounds in the background. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank YOU for watching! ❤️
I must admit when I first saw you I thought who are these crazy ladies? Having watched you two for a while now I have to say I love both of you. Thank you for or the pleasure you have given me.
Just beautiful! I didn't expect the mtn. Ranges in the beginning..it makes me want too go to UK even more!! Stunning to say the least!
Even though our mountains are not that high our northerly latitude and ranges exposure to the prevailing weather off the Atlantic can make them very challenging.
im from Yorkshire, North Yorks Is Beautiful he, s just tired. i live in East Yorkshire now its always beautiful the moors look great when the Heathers in flower.
The North Cornish coastline is its wild and rugged at times but so beautiful. It's so full of history. I think you would love the history and scenery around the Cornish Coast line.
yes, I think so too... 👍
There were daffodils, so it was February or very early March, the trees arent in leaf yet. Quite warm and dry for Early Spring.
HI GUYS I'm originally from the South of England and even there there are nice places to walk. One year I spent a week walking around the Isle of Wight staying in Youth Hostels. Another time I walked and wild camped on the Ridgeway trail. It is one of the oldest trails in England having been walked by the Ironage people who lived there. There are several Ironage forts and burial mounds along the way, and the spectacular Uffington White Horse, Which has been cut into the chalk hillside and can be seen for many miles.
I now live in Telford Shropshire and there are many opportunities to walk in the countryside here.The South Shropshire Hills are great on a clear day. You can see for miles into mid Wales and back into England. The closeness to North Wales is perfect for day trips to enjoy the hills and mountains of Snowdonia National Park and more.
You really must come over to see us it's too good to not share it.
Did you go to Cerne Abbas?
@@bethcushway458 no I haven't been there.
@@laguna3fase4 it's incredible. My uncle lived in a village nearby and so we'd go by it when we visited. I live in the South Downs National Park now so I'm lucky enough to have all that beauty on my doorstep❤️
Hi Ladies it is a joy to see how much you enjoy watching things about the u.k. my wife and I have always enjoyed walking in the countryside and now we are both retired we have started camping in further parts of the mainland. so far we have done the lakes ,scotland, devon and sussex. We have 5 more trips for this year. Cant wait.Keep up the good work and if you can get over here and see for yourselves.
These are all fairly common sights in the English countryside. Although the Lake District is particularly nice. As is the Peak District and Forest of Dean. Some places are straight out of Lord of the Rings. In fact Tolkien did base many places in the books, on real life places in England.
Tolkien worked on a Roman archaeological site at Lydney, on what is known as Dwarf Hill. Nearby places like Puzzlewood and Clearwell caves. Have been filming locations for Narnia, Star Wars, Doctor Who, Merlin. Because they’re otherworldly.
Personally I love the moors, you can't tell from the video but that whole stretch was full of heather, masses of purple flowers. Not boring at all. Can feel quite isolating but in a liberating way!
Also Whitby is the best place in the world!
Before I even start the video..I LOVE this already. I've walked all over Ireland countryside (yes the north too)..no jokes but I have no cartilage in both knees, had to have surgery on both. BUT I HAVE ZERO regret and would do it again 😊❤. Did a bit in the UK and some in the Netherlands..I'm not done going around Europe. Did a bit in South Africa too. Oh those beautiful Island up North in Ireland (Aaron islands) are also stunning 👌🏼❤❤.

My partner and her 70-odd year old dad did this walk a few years ago.
It's interesting - I've seen a few American reactions to UK walks and they're all surprised that it's normal here to walk through a farm, even a farm yard, as part of a walk. The public footpath network here is huge. The right to roam was hard fought and cherished.
My grandfathers pig farm in Cambridgeshire had a public footpath run straight past the house!, don't think it was ever a problem.
That’s right there’s a detailed account of the fight in courts with landowners to allow city people access to the country.
Sadly though a small minority abuse it not keeping proper control of they're dog's which attack farm animals. As well as leaving they're litter behind and wild camping wherever they like.
@@Justabitnosey It is a very small percentages of arseholes. Litter sucks in beautiful places. Dogs off leads are dicks. The benefits out weigh the problems generally
You must have some great countryside in the USA too.
Wainwright is a legend amongst walkers in the United Kingdom, Matt out most of the decent walks in his life in some amazing books that people still follow today
I absolutely love this one👌
In my opinion there is no better way to de-stress than throwing on some wellies and going for a very long muddy walk...
Couldn't agree more!
Done this walk, it’s the best one in the UK in my opinion, I’ve done a fair few. You guys could totally do it!
It's easy for us here to take our countryside and landscapes for granted. I live close to the Peak District and visit The North of Scotland, North Wales and North Yorkshire regularly. Sometimes it helps to see things though the eyes of another to fully appreciate them.
I've done a few long-distance treks and it doesn't matter what the scenery is like, you *always* have a down day every 7-10 days. You just think "why???!" But, next day, you get up and everything makes sense again. I climbed 9 Standards Rigg last September and the coast-to-coast route passed the door of the cottage we were renting. We could watch walkers going past every day, it's a really popular hike.
I would absolutely love to see a video where you two came over and experienced some of the UK for yourselves. I’m UK born and bread and I feel privileged to live here. It really is as amazing as you imagine. Another great video. Thank you xx
Bred not bread.
I’m a Yorkshire Lass born and breed. Wild and beautiful. Whitby is old and amazing.
I really recommend the book The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It documents her and her husband’s walk along the south west coast path (basically around the whole south west of England). They also walked, ate and wild camped. They were homeless at the time, after being made bankrupt. It’s a great book - one you cannot put down.
Hikers shacks are old cottages that aren’t used anymore and they are all over Wales and Scotland and the countryside where walkers can rest and take refuge
Funnily enough I served with him in the Army he was a chef and I was in the infantry he’s a top guy to be fair nice lad
haha it must be one of the most common conversations in any relationship: "What are we going to eat". Its practically a daily occurrence me and my wife have. Appreciate your vids !
I think what it is, despite how awe inspiring the British countryside is, we get Blasé about the beautiful scenery and do not appreciate the scenery until people like yourselves comment on it. I love it! I feel proud when two US citizens love our British countryside. Keep up the great videos. Look forward to your next video.
I live in the Cotswolds, which has that classic English "Chocolate Box" look. I suppose one does get used to it somewhat, but I never tire of it and feel privileged to live here.
Me and my mate Chris drive round this area every week , fixing televisions . On a sunny spring day , it's like being in heaven .
This is a very popular walk. I did it myself about 15 years ago. I also wild camped but I never set myself a daily distance target. It's a great walk to de-stress, relax and forget your problems. Some days I barely walked at all but just sat and relaxed. In total it took me 15 or 16 days.
I have been planning 3 months to do the coast to coast then up into Scotland and the coast and highlands . I think April to July would be perfect .
Some pals and I had a similar attitude to a Scottish coast to coast walk - Knoydart to Stonehaven - once
upon a time. Great walking and some wonderful views along the way.
A couple we are good friends with did it a few years ago, but they did struggle with blisters even though they’re regular hikers. We just dropped them off at St Bees and picked them up at Robin Hoods Bay! They travelled light with little clothing and equipment so we met them at Wainwright’s bar with a package each of a new t shirt, underwear and toiletries - simple things, but I’ve never seen them look so pleased! 😄
To be so young and so aware of your place in the world and what is important and what is not, is a wonderous and marvellous thing... Fare well young man, fare well!
There are lots of places you can walk in UK, different scenery all beautiful.
Girls you’ll have to react to the same person doing 156 miles of scotlands outer Hebrides. Absolutely amazing. It’s a must for you.
Liam is a great video maker, his videos are so relaxing and you do feel you are living his journey.
do you know his channel name please?
Liam Brown
@@WeekendWildling thank you
Walking by the canals is a great way to see the country. Fairly flat, too.
I'm already subbed to Liam and really enjoy his channel. I recently had to have my dog (my best friend) put to sleep and have decided to do some backpacking this year, to keep busy and cheer myself up. Losing a dog is heartbreaking, as you will both know. I have heart failure, so I may have to shorten the walks, but I can still try and get out to those areas in the video. I have been to Robin Hood's bay before and it really is stunning.
I'm so sorry for your loss,I hope you do get out there backpacking it will be a good way to try heal yourself after such a great loss,it just all looks so amazing
@@dawnfishwick861 Thankyou! and I certainly will. It's funny, but ever since I lost my best friend. I have a much greater appreciation for nature. He taught me alot and it's taught me to worry less about minor things and just enjoy the world and time I have less in it. Being outside and in the moment will do me some good :)
Love My Counrty....I'm in Leigh-on-Sea, The South East of England....Beaches for miles just a 5 minute walk away....And a 2 minute walk from Woods and The Essex Countryside .....And We Also have AMAZING HISTORY XXX ❤️🇬🇧❤️
It's videos like this that make you sit back and realise how lucky you are to live in such a beautiful country. Walking in the English countryside with my 2 Cocker Spaniels is pure escapism.
We have wonderful scenery in the UK, but for me what makes it so special are the small villages . The rows of centuries old cottages. The old farmers field walls, the old churches etc . And the northern counties have really picturesque villages.
I’m so pleased you love our beautiful country. Even better is the people in the north are just the most friendly and warm folk you are ever likely to meet. Come on over!
These places really are on our doorstep half an hour and you can be anywhere.
I think we should appreciate how many times he had to setup the camera, walk past it, then have to walk back again to collect it, as well as take time out for the drone shots.
I’ve been following your podcasts for quite sometimes and I love your narration and humour keep it up
Ladies from a fan in Englands North West
Young people in the UK and US get a bad press, so fairplay to this young man he's a credit to his generation.
100% agree
You knocked those pronunciation’s out the park !
I live just below this route relatively speaking so I have the peak district on my doorstep as my playground for walking, mountain biking and offroad motorbiking.
I've also been to these three places many of times and they are all stunning.
Driving around the lake district was an awesome trip
Yorkshire dales know for its dry stone walls. North york moors very similar but less stone walls. Both places full of sheep. Hope you enjoy your visit.
Fantastic video, ladies! A beautiful way to start my Sunday 😊. Also, not only was his commitment to the walk brilliant, but the fact he took the extra time to set up his camera and drone to get cinematics & walking shots is amazing. Well done, lad!
I grew up on the North Yorkshire Moors, you really need to actually come experience it to believe it.
The Julia Bradbury walking videos are well worth watching. She visits every corner of the British Isles in her travels.
I live near the lakes. It's such a joy to be able to work within this place. Only yesterday I was driving past the lakes to meet some clients and smiling at the views. So glad you enjoy the video. 😊
Natasha and Debbie, your reactions were a joy! As a British person it was interesting for me to see you blown away by things that - not to suggest I take them for granted, but - are relatively unexceptional in much of the UK.
In 2012 I hiked from my Manchester home to my birthplace of Chertsey (a short way west of London), 208 miles basically a diagonal line down most of the fat bit of England. It was all on proper roads and rarely far from civilisation, but even here I got the Peak District (2 days), Leicestershire which is beautifully green and 'countrified' if less dramatic, and historic sites such as Bosworth. It was something, too, to hear accents shade off into different ones, even in the course of half a day / 10m I could hear changes.
And the people were lovely. I can absolutely back up Liam when he's in that dark moment and 'sick of bloody moors', that's what exhaustion and your own company does and the battle is real! But everyone I met, without exception, was friendly and helpful, and each day I was hard put to it to pick a 'favourite person'. At the time there was a buzzword in the media, "Broken Britain": oh no it isn't.
Being English I often forget the land I live and work in can seem like a magical olde-worlde place to Americans, unaccustomed to rambling with Roman roads still in use by walkers and neolithic remains scattered across the wilderness. If you want a smaller version of a multi-day English walk try The Dales Way from Ilkley (West Yorkshire) to Bowness (Lake DIstrict).. it's a much more manageable 5-7 day walk and there are pubs and B&Bs en route to stay in so you can sleep in proper beds with proper bathrooms and enjoy freshly served hot grub for tea.
I really need to thank YOU both for reviewing this video because through your reactions it made me appreciate our countryside more
.awful thing to say but we do tend to take it for granted..we see so many places similar to this its like we are spoilt rotten and it becomes the norm and we don't stand back and really look at what we have..which is beautiful. We are lucky to have these areas..they are protected by the national parks but also there are rigorous laws stopping building on 'green belt land '.. so we do look after what we have.. including our waterways..try to review the Malvern Hills..Malvern is just outside of Worcester where the famous sauce is from and Sir Edward Elgar and we have a cracking cathedral too..I was born and bred in Worcester so very proud. .the Malvern can be climbed in a day..its where the fantastic Malvern natural spring water comes from..so if you can get some from Jungle Jims see what you think Natasha as I know you like your bottled water. Thanks again for opening my eyes to our country..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏🐾🐾🐕🐈👍👏👏🇺🇸
