In a world filled with AI, I feel it's important to tell you that 95% of the footage was filmed by me in the REAL English countryside (minus the peasant farming the land, couldn't find one of those), and the still photos are sourced from online. But the snail, sheep, rain drops, cows, and rest are real. :)
it's top stuff too 👍
Nice one Kalyn. Great to see an "out and about" style video.
Excellent video. One of your very best. Well done.
Great video GGL!! There are small areas that still use strip farming methods from the middle ages but these are few and far between (South Yorkshire has some). Most farmers don't mind you accessing their land as long as you follow the "Country Code" ie don't trample crops, stick to footpaths if possible, don't leave litter, keep gates closed, keep dogs on a lead, don't mess about with machinery or other farming stuff....Etc etc....
Do yourself a favour, my friend and try exploring the SCOTTISH countryside.
Might be worth waiting until after the Mayday Bank Holiday in 2025 and I would particularly recommend North of Perth and Dundee.
As well as Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Highlands.
I have no real wish to detract from the undoubted splendour and beautiful scenery that many parts of the English countryside has to offer but it's just that with coming from Scotland well we have a wealth of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
I am so glad that you are able to get out and enjoy the countryside and greenery of the UK.
And of course at this time of year, the air doesn't really get much fresher.

Love it❤❤

As a Brit, I was shocked to discover from American friends that public rights of way (footpaths, bridleways, byways) as we know them here don't exist in the US. I use public footpaths all the time. They're one of my favourite aspects of the British countryside.
Definitely something we're missing in the US that I would love to have there.
Excellent!!!! Video Kalyn, well done! 👍👏👏👏😊
Thank you so so much!
It was lovely, wasn't it. Happy and heartfelt ♥️
What a well-researched and well-presented video. Fantastic stuff!
many many thanks for watching!
A great video demonstrating some typical English landscapes. Lovely to see you outside your living room or kitchen for a change too!
The further north you go you will see the hedges less and dry stone wall taking their place..
Always think dry stone walls look so cold and barren compared to hedgerows, suppose been it is more Scotland or North of England it is more barren.
@@fasteddie406 Stone is predominantly used more in the mountainous regions and surrounding areas where hedgerows are more difficult to grow, and are equally beautiful.
@@fasteddie406Dry stone walls are far from barren, they are covered in lichen and mosses, many different plants and animals make their homes in them, many other animals use them for shelter which often leads to certain places having buildings attached to them for sheep and cows to over winter without need to be brought off the hills and mountains and into barns, this means birds will have permanent residence away from people and their droppings fertilize the land.
@@ChrisShelley-v2g Dry stone walls are lovely. I grew up in East London but I loved spending time in the countryside when we went back to Ireland and loved learning how to do things like shear sheep and basic farm skills.
Come to Gloucestershire.
On mile 8 of what was supposed to be a 2 mile hike and you didn't pack a snack? Welcome to the British Army.
Madonna tried to stoop people crossing on her land and thankfully she lost.😊
didn't know that!
I grew up in a semi-rural market town. I know exactly how this video smells!
it definitely is such a distinct countryside smell!
It's time to put that American passport to the back of a drawer... It looks like it's not coming out anytime soon 🇬🇧
only to head back to stock up on my American snacks to take out with me into the English countryside. ;)
@GirlGoneLondonofficial I haven't found an American snack shop elsewhere in the UK other than Glasgow. Bought bars of chocolate but not quite as I remember them 20 to 30 years ago when I used to travel to the US. I have converted fellow radio hams in the US to English chocolate by sending food parcels to them from the British Food shops over in CA and TX. They cannot get enough Jaffa Cakes. PS great video, we spend most our holidays in different parts of the UK for the different types of countryside from gentle rolling hills, steep narrow valleys to moorlands.
You REALLY, really did your homework on this!!!
99.99% of Brits would know no more than 5% of this.
Investigate the TOTALLY amazing beauty of the W coast temporate rain forests.
Utterly brilliant video again.
You really do seem to have fallen in love with the UK - biased opinion - the least worst place in the world to live.
If you feel "fiited-in", welcome!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, they really mean a lot.
There speaks someone who lives in a city
@@markforster2794 Are you always so very wrong in all things?
Very different from your normal videos, but a brilliant video. I am English and I love the Countryside. It would be great if you did more of this type of video.
So glad you still enjoyed! Will definitely do more!
Come on Kalyn. It is Black Death OR Plague. It has never been Black Plague.
I think Americans call it the Black Plague rather than the Black Death because it sounds less scary. They're people who don't like thinking about reality.
I've heard a few TH-camrs calling it 'Black Plague'. Is it what the Americans call it, I wonder?
@@carolineskipper6976 It a appears to be. As I have not heard anyone but a US person use the term. Which does say a lot.
Actually it was known as the Great Mortality. The Black Death (yes - not Black Plague) was a much later moniker.
Well this is a new format. Well done.
Thank you very much. :)
Agreed. GGL should more stuff like this when possible.
WOW, Your outside.
Had to think if this was really you or a fake upload.
I know, a real treat to be let out of the house!
Without doubt one of your best videos. Loved it. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much. :)
You can also explore the countryside without threat of being eaten (except by midges or mozzies)
a great point!
Brilliant video, Kalyn! Would love to see more walk about adventures 😊
Thank you so much Arthur! More definitely incoming!
@@GirlGoneLondonofficial come to Warwickshire! Lots of history and historical buildings (I'm next to Kenilworth Castle so biased)
Great to see you out and about!
Thanks so much for watching! More adventures to come!
Once more, dear lady, a great, informative, and well thought out video on a niche subject so often overlooked. One of my sons is a legal consultant to the CPRE and represents it in court battles to preserve the Green Belt and public footpaths (llwybrau cyhoeddus 🏴). Keep up the exellent work. ❤
Thank you so much! How interesting that your son is involved with the CPRE - I love the countryside.
It's official she does go outside and is not a vampire

@@GirlGoneLondonofficial 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The New Forest is only a "forest" in the medieval sense of land set aside as a Royal hunting ground. As such, it was pretty much a prohibited space for the local population.
There is almost no true ancient forest left in Britain.
Great video, I loved it. Hedgerows are great for snacking if the blackberries are out 😃
Many thanks for watching!
Also wild rasberries, slows, damsons etc
Fantastic camera shots and editing, GGL!
Really appreciate the kind feedback, thank you, I tried my best!
Great production Kaylin🌳🐑🏞
Thank you so much!
Absolutely loved this episode, so well explained and excellent views. Thank you.
Thank you so much, this made my day!
Well done on gathering so many threads together & making it make sense - some clever footage too. I've been all over the world & visited some striking landscapes but there is no where I'd rather live than here in the UK - rainfall included.
Love your stuff, keep up the good work. Love & Kisses from God's back yard (Shropshire)
Thank you so much! Appreciate you!
Kaylyn, that is absolutely spot on! As a former Northumberland National Park employee I am impressed by your research - and, a bonus, my wife was the National Lead manager of for all England's National Trails, Footpaths and Open Access (worth another video?) for, Natural England so on a personal level I'm delighted Natural England are mentioned. It's not often (if ever) I hear the 'Definitive Map' being mentioned. .
The only wild cattle left in the whole world is the herd of Chillingham Cattle which is in Northumberland.
41,000 miles of public footpaths are in danger of being lost forever because they haven't been registered by local councils. The deadline for them to be registered is 2031.
Very good on the history Kalyn. The only bit you missed on was landowners evicting people from villages and farms to turn arable land into livestock farms because there was more profit in it.
I’ve lived around the world (mainly the commonwealth), and there’s nothing as beautiful and serene as rambling in the English countryside.
it's definitely gorgeous!
🇬🇧 Excellent video. Something a little different.
🇬🇧 Thank You 🇬🇧
Well, that was well presented & informative. A+
Many thanks! :)
Deffo one of the best videos you have ever made, please keep the trend going 👍
Tom Jones's "Green, green grass of Home," anybody ? I know, he's Welsh. But Wales is just England with style, class and beauty.😘 😉
Lol bollocks
Wales also has the Welsh that don't like tourists.
Dyn saesneg gwirion!
Lovely video! Thank you Kalyn.
Thank you so much for watching!
You could visit the New Forest and explain the name (and play with the ponies).
I love the New Forest! Definitely a great idea - I've only been once. Love the ponies.
Not a good idea unless you want to be kicked or bitten.
@@GirlGoneLondonofficial You should do a video comparing national parks of uk and us
Brilliant video , looks good and you gave a very good explanation with history included . more like this please get out on the streets , markets , cafe's etc ❤
Many thanks for watching, will definitely do more!
Wow. Maybe your best video yet! I love it. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback!
Up there with Button Moon..
🇬🇧 Just had a holiday travelling through the extremely beautiful English countryside. A slow progress through the Chiltern Hills and Berkshire. Ye Olde Inns, a car picnic, small lovely villages.
SO LOVELY
Goodness, you packed a huge amount of interesting information into 9 minutes. Well done
Thank you so much for your nice feedback!
Best video you've made imo
This makes my day, thank you for saying that!
Oo, I love this intensive "not a word wasted" educational approach!
Thank you! I will try to do more like this.
LOVE your videos. You research so carefully and film beautifully. Thank you, K xx
Great research ! Enjoyable to watch. Nice one.👍🏻
thank you!
Footpaths. On the A28 near Chartham (pronounced Char_tham, not Chart_ham) there is a designated footpath that goes through a private garden and alongside the wall of the house where you can either walk into Canterbury or back into the village. The footpaaths then continue through to Ashford. I don't think this would ever be permitted in the US. We were very dissapointed by the lack of footpaths in the US when we did a road trip there as we love walking in the countryside of the UK.
I appreciate that your videos, are concise, informative with a dry and enjoyable delivery.
As a fell runner and landscape artist I love the countryside, as well as the footpath network in most national parks in England and Wales there's access land too, this land is shaded on OS maps with a thick peach coloured border, on access land you are free to roam within reason.
The last Ice age was a mini ice age, it was due to I think, mount st Helens, erupting, and it lasted a just over a year.
Great content Kalyn, your best video yet, hope you do many more Kalyn goes out of the house soon.
Back in the day we had Empires run by Emperors, Kingdoms run by Kings, and now we have Country's run by, errrr, well you get the idea. :)
Can't remember who i plagerised that from, but credit to them. :)
Sounds like Jethro to me - brilliantly irreverent comedian!
Well done with this video. Girl done her homework. I was born in a rural area and seen many hedges torn down. Only now in last few years there planting them again.some new ones where i come from are now really tall. The wildlife loves them and the land seems less baron. Over the years ive seen top soil blowing off the feilds, I think thats proberly a reason many are planting again. But it makes England Beautiful.
Many thanks for watching and sharing your story!

Interesting to note that footpath BEED/18/1 ends across the road from a pub in the hamlet called "World's End" ... what could go wrong walking through a dark field on the way to the World's End pub!
With such a destination there's no need to pack snacks!
Really good video. Thanks. It does beg the question though - if Americans don't know what 'countryside' is, what do you call the land outside the towns and cities in the States ?
They don't have a public footpath network like ours, a lot of what we call countryside is completely private except for the public roads for vehicles passing though it, that's why to most Americans the thought of a public footpath passing straight through the middle of private field full of crops seems crazy. Their trail path network connects the more remote and mountainous regions, a lot are very well maintained and very busy, have regular communal camping areas and some of the trails in national parks aren't open access to all at any time, you have to apply for a permit to use them, long distance hiking or 'Thru Hiking' as it's known is a very popular pastime in the states and a bit of a rite of passage for many hikers over there, some of these long distance trail networks are 100's or even 1000's of miles like the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) which is 2,653 miles and takes you from Canada to Mexico along the West coast of the US.
I think, if U tube is anything to go by, they call it 'the nature' ?
Kalyn. I've been following your videos for a long time now. This one was brilliant and you obviously spent lots of time researching and putting the dialogue together.
Great video. Amazing how much there is to learn and things I didn't know about and I've lived surrounded by it my whole life
Thanks so much for watching!
A speedy and concise rendition of the British countryside. Well done.
We have a field hedge that is around 600ft (180m) in length as it loops around our property. Unfortunately, the once fields beyond were developed into a housing estate in 1960's and as a result we have 22 properties that back onto our hedge (as defined by the deeds). Those neighbours have over the years planted all sorts of invasive weeds like conifers into the hedge that has gradually killed parts that makes the retention of the hedge much more difficult and a loss of habitat to the wildlife. The other issue is that the ditch that used to run behind the hedge has been filled in by those neighbours, cutting off the discharge from our stormwater system. it is fortunate that the soil is so free draining because otherwise most of those houses would have a bog at the end of our garden. I just pity the person that owns the property that sits on the former pond where all the ditch water used to drain to as that now ground water course is probably still active.
Thank you so much for watching - interesting to hear your own stories on the topic!
Forest is where nobles/monarch hunted, not always just trees, but also open area where the hunter can follow prey easily on horseback, usually heavy penalties for unauthorised intruders. Woodland was other areas with trees.
Wow, what a awesome video, I love style of video for you, well done, keep up the awesome work :D
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
@@GirlGoneLondonofficial Your very welcome :D
A great video Kalyn, very informative indeed and will defo help tourists visiting England but in Scotland a bit different as we have the "The Land Reform Act 2003" which basically gives anyone the right to go pretty much anywhere they want to go on private land and landowners cannot stop them. The most important thing I think you alluded too and in Scotland the phrase is "leave it how you found it", keep up the good work you
I was filming near Gorleston, out in the middle of somewhere. I love those little shelter huts. They are very necessary, too.
The countryside here in England 🏴 is so beautiful 😍 ❤
Bland and dull, and very grey 99% of the time...way prettier countryside's elsewhere in the world.
Great video Kaylin, nice to see you out side the home.
thanks so much for watching!
I had a job planting hedgerows once. It was the first time I realized that they weren't just there, sorting themselves out. People actually maintained them and made new ones. When anyone asked what job I did, I'd reply, "I'm a hedge fairy." 😅🧚♀️🌳
Excellent information-packed video. Your final conclusion is the perfect point to make. Its why the English (particularly) countryside feels like a meant-to-be home from the deep past. It is why English Gardens contrived by Capability Brown and others sought to emulate this idea of nature gilded, the rural made picturesque.
Thank you so much for watching!
The was born and lived in Wendover Buckinghamshire. Wendover has lot of public footpaths including the Ridgeway Path through out it The Ridgeway Path go through the PM country house near Wendover
Ah, yes, Wendover is lovely!
That was marvellous, just enough information to be interesting without being nerdy (although I quite like nerdy). As for the keys, I’ve done it myself - no shame there.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback and for watching.
Excellent video i’ve seen some of your videos before, but now I’ve just subscribed
It’s great, you pointed out some of the beautiful scenery we have in our country and how lucky we are People from around the world can see, and maybe even visit. Could you do more like this please? Perhaps one on the Cotswolds and the Cotswold villages which is on my doorstep perhaps the Lake District or Cornwall and Devon Wales and Scotland. Just a few suggestions of many you could do. That’ll keep you busy
Thank you so much for subscribing and for the additional suggestions - I would love to cover them!
Hey Kalyn, I really enjoyed watching this one: very informative, and on a topic I am personally drawn to. Keep up making more, please
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, glad you enjoyed.
Yay Kalyn. What a great idea to go walkabout. Hope you have more plans for location vids. If so, I'm with you all the way.
Thank you so much, more videos like this on the way!
Excellent video, loving the unusual camera angles! It's great to see the English countryside, stuck here in very urban London, though there is a fair amount of green in our cities too.
Thank you very much. :)
It's good to seen you out of your house 😊
Good to be out, haha. Thanks for watching!
Great video,loads of information,very informative ,well researched , enjoyed it ,❤❤.
Many thanks for watching!
I lived in the countryside in Oxfordshire, for almost twenty years. I still feel that I wish that I had not left.
It's definitely beautiful!
I have to admire the research you put into your videos which separate you from the usual reaction videos.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that as I do try to do a lot of research to have something interesting to say.
Well researched . A credit to you. Very interesting as well. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.
Anyone wanting to visit a sizeable forest area in the south, I'd recommend the area in between Guildford and Dorking in Surrey, where the North Downs Way runs through. Much better than Epping Forest and no main road running all the way through it like Epping.
I was just thinking that we haven’t seen you outside for ages. Good effort
finally ventured out, haha! Thanks for watching!

This is one reason why, to me, Peter Jackson's film version of the Shire didn't quite hit the spot. No proper hedgerows, which the Shire would have had in abundance.
The network of small fields had been influenced by Saxon inheritance laws which divided up the land amongst heirs
Oh so beautifully green. After arriving back in the UK, from a trip to a very parched and brown region of Sicily, our landscape dazzled me with it's lushness. I love our countryside.
Hi there I want to if you could answer me a question why do Americans classified the Hall of the UK as England?
So much more interesting than why our plugs are different videos. Get out more girl, midlands, north, Wales, Scotland. And yes, it's the Black Death or Bubonic Plague not Black Plague.
This is a really good video and nice change from your "7, 10, 13 things...". You're a natural and well-informed presenter, and I really enjoyed this one. I'm lucky to live only 10 mins from 'the countryside' here in Norfolk.
Two thoughts,
First, I really like these sort of vids where Kalynn gets out/about. More of the same 👍
Second, not to sound overtly sexist (though it will do 😂) Yet Kalyn looks GOOD/all the right junk in all the right places…
Even in the English countryside!
As a Brit that loves walking in the country, you did a very good job of researching and presenting that video, well done 🙂
Thanks for this. You’ve done your research.
An appeal to anyone who wants to enjoy our countryside. Our rule is ‘leave no trace’. This means nobody should be able to see you have visited.
Close gates.
Take your waste with you. Dog poop should be bagged & binned, not bagged & thrown into the countryside.
We only have if we all respect it.
Visitors are welcome, but it requires responsibility. Thanks.
In Cornwall we have Cornish Hedges,- basically, stone with earth inside. Building them is a skill, and they become rich with plants and wildlife. Some go back to Bronze Age times, which make them among the oldest human-made constructions still in use! They're beautiful. Many thanks for the interesting video.
My last comment included a reference to JLA. It should have been JJLA. 👍
You are definitely a positive addition to the UK! Now..... if we can just get rid of those last few minor Americanisms, (you're generally doing pretty well) our job will be done.😁
A common mistake you're using is making the assumption that words still mean the same thing they used to mean, in this case forest.
The modern meaning of the word forest is that of a large uncultivated area with a pretty dense number of trees and large bushes. Additionally, a forest is considered larger than a wood.
This wasn't always the case though, particularly during the history section of your video.
Old English terms include
●wudu (wuu-duu "wood, woods, forest, tree" origin of modern "wood")
●holt (KHolt "woodland, holt")
●weald (wa-ahld "forest" origin of modern wold, wald, weald)
●fyrhþ (fuurKHth "forest/wooded couhtry" origin of firth and frith)
●trēow (treh-ohw "tree, wood, forest, piece of wood" origin of tree)
This is how areas that still lacked fields cleared of trees were referred to. Then the Normans came and set up "royal forests", forest was Old Norman for "Royal hunting ground", the purely Anglo-Saxon (non Norman) word for forest would be "Kingswood". The word forest is most likely fyrhþ (firth /wood) + hyrst (hurst/thicket).
That is to say that forests until recently were not large areas of woodland, but areas where the public were either forbidden from entering, or where they had limited rights. Within a forest, all wild animals and plants were property of the King. All the residents were evicted as well, Including the New Forest (it was set up in the 1080s, so it's a newer royal hunting preserve).
The forests stayed heavily wooded because who would be daft enough to risk execution for cutting down one of the Kings trees. As the woodland outside of the protected hunting preserves were cut down for the huge number of ships built by the island's navies, over time the word forest gained its modern meaning of heavily wooded area.
This I hope will explain the whole Robin of Loxley in Sherwood Forest. Note that Sherwood has the suffix -wood. Instead of reading it as Sherwood + Forest, instead read it as Shire Wood + Royal Private Hunting Preserve. That is to say, it was a capital punishment for anyone but the King to hunt there. The modern equivalent would be raiding the fridge after breaking into Windsor Castle or the White House.
Excellent! An engaging and well-researched video essay, please do more! Maybe pick out some AONBs?
A picky comment here. Its called the "New Forest" because the King wanted a hunting preserve & set land aside. Granted that was William the Conqueror in 1079 so new does not mean recent. But see I was paying attention.
Sorry to correct you… it’s Black Death and or Great Plague…! Love your work..! Rain equals green ..love it..
What an excellent short guide to a lot of information about the countryside. Thank you. And don’t forget the different ranges of Ordnance Survey maps that lay out everything, including all those paths.
My ancestors thank you for championing the British hedgerow. As you can tell from my name they were responsible for the creation of some of them.
Wow. Awesome ❤ so informative and well presented. Although think you sounded a bit optimistic about the size of the forests that are left. Perhaps do a video on reforestation efforts or on the forests themselves.
More videos like this one PLEASE. Being retired I can no longer gat about as I used too and as an ex-wildlife photography I miss the peace and quiet of sitting in the corner of a field taking photographs of the wildlife or scenic views or taking a walk along the local rivers. Gone are the days of being young enough and interested in other parts of the UK that I used to go on long distance hiking trails, or just spending a few hours walking and photographing the local wildlife and plants, You as a relative newcomer to the UK have thousands of miles of footpath to explore or even tackle one of the many longer distant Hikes. Tony in Essex a retired Hiker and Photographer of the local Wildlife and Plants, from tiny Orchids to Birds of Prey and even the Deer brought over to the UK by the Romans.
Some nice views there from Coombe Hill, looking out over Chequers , Beacon Hill towards Chinnor. Up there regularly myself. The cows always look very content to be there too!
Nice one. Fresh, well researched content. Thanks
Thank you so much. :)
Leave only footprints, take only pictures, although a little hedgerow fruit & nut gathering is OK.
