I live about 30min drive from the white cliffs but ive only ever seen it from a distance 😩 & ive been to Wales but was too young to appreciate it. I live in Essex, East Anglia & its all flat "no mountains" its still VERY OLD & beautiful, but now im older im going to go explore more so i can appreciate the beauty we are lucky to have. Hope you can make it here to have a look yourself. Great vid mate 👍
I recommend the video "The Difference Between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained" by CGP Grey. It's very important to know the difference before visiting.
Yep. Can't wait to see it all! Europe and USA are similar that way. Almost the same size, same amount of countries/states, etc. In USA each state has its own government so it is similar to being its own country in a lot of ways. Thanks for commenting and checking out my videos.
The Isle of Skye and Scotland will blow your mind. In Scotland you are free to roam. Leave it as you find it. Close gates behind you. Be respectful, that's all we ask. Oh, and have a Great Time.
You can take a train up to the top of Snowdon :-) The situation with the Isle of Man is not dissimilar from the Native American Nations within the USA All land in the UK is owned by someone, the sheep will also be owned by a local farmer. But land ownership is constrained by ancient rights, such as right of access by paths (even freer in Scotland), right of grazing on "common land". National parks are not owned by the state, but owner's rights are even more restricted to preserve the beauty for everyone.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Not entirely sure what you mean there, mate. If you're on your private land then you can grow what you like and fence off what sections of your land that you like to protect your crops. However, you may not block off a designated "public right of way" on your land; such as a road, path or trail. You must allow people, animals, livestock and vehicles (depending on what specific type of way it is) to use this designated right of way. These rights of way are very old and will follow both the natural and practical borders of your land. You will rarely if ever have a right of way cut straight through all of or even the majority of your land. It will most likely be on the borders of your land and in suitable locations to have a track. As these rights of way are very old they are almost natural features of your land as they are often walled in by hedges or stone walls or surrounded by woods. If a public right of way does cut across your land, you could fence of what sections of the land you like as long as it doesn't restrict access for anyone. Now, I think the original poster may have confused you with the term "common land". This is not privately owned land. It's held by the local council or the National Trust. You wouldn't be allowed to grow crops on there anyway. It's land used for grazing and roaming. You will usually hear this "common land" referred to locally as "The Common". Things might be different up in Scotland, where estates may own vast swathes of land and some sections may have clauses that allow common grazing for nearby farmers, but there will of course be sections of your land where you can fence off and grow whatever you wish. This wouldn't be of any importance to the likes of us unless you intend to become a farmer or own a massive, ancient estate in Scotland. Hope that helps.
@@vurtigoneiii275 Yes I was thinking mainly of Scotland here, although the situation is similar in the upland areas in the North of England (not sure about Wales). In all cases this is land not suitable for crops. This was much more common, all villages used to have their common land, this began to change after the black death in the 13th century when it was discovered that sheep where more profitable than people. This lead, over several centuries, to the "Enclosure Acts" where land owners would grab the common land for grazing. The final stage of that were the Highland Clearances where much of the population (such as that of Skye) were forcibly evicted from their land to migrate to cities, USA or the empire, particularly Canada, New Zealand or Australia. However, I would say that quite often a public footpath does go right through a farm's centre, quite often to the annoyance of the farmer, as that would have been an old route to that farm. Land owners can apply for it to be diverted, if they provide a suitable alternative. The fact that this doesn't happen that often shows that local councils are reluctant to grant these requests.
I did Snowden at age 68, even stayed in a youth hostel at the base.. boy have they changed in 60 years..cheap place to stay and ideal for touring Snowden.. His video is really aimed at the younger audience I think..there are just so many perfect places to visit, where even in my 70's now and not in great health I can do activities or just soak up the atmosphere, lounge on the beach or while away time on a canal holiday, travelling the Norfolk Broads, by Narrowboat... There are 100's of options from Cottage rental, camping, hotels etc.. I think you will love it and we will be very happy to show you around. My Dad was Dublin, My Mom Belfast, so I have family in both parts of Ireland, even my Daughter lives there now.
There are many more places here for you to see. York the Viking Capital of England, the Romans were there too. Chester had the Romans. The Lake District is beautiful as is the Peak District. Have a look at the Cotswolds. Our many castles. Also, some of our strange habits, cheese rolling, shin kicking, Morris Dancing, to name a few. Then there is the TT Races on the Isle of Man. Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland plus the Irish Republic don't have hard borders, we can all come and go as we please, I am from Liverpool, we have many Irish people here, so visiting each other is quite normal.
In the UK there is "common grazing rights" where farmers are allowed to graze their animals on common/non private land. You'll see thousands of sheep and cattle on common land, but I'll put money on you never seeing a goat! The Isle of Man is administered day to day by the Tynwald, the worlds oldest parliament. However they can be overruled by the UK parliament, and King Charles has the title "Lord of Man". His representative on the island is the Lt Governor of Man. It's most famous world wide for "The Isle of Man TT", the worlds oldest and most dangerous motorcycle race, this years event starts in less than 2 weeks. Competitors race the clock, doing 4 or 6 laps of a 37.73mile course on closed public roads. lap record from last year is 136.352mph. If you have any interest in motor sports, it's worth a look.
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American If you really aren't up to hiking up Snowdon, you can take the Snowdon Mountain Railway - steam powered rack-and-pinion railway - which drops you off just a few feet below the summit. If you want a closer look at these places without travelling, do what I do, go on Google Earth to the place, use scroll wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out, and use the shift key kept down, then hold the left mouse key down at the same time and move the mouse up and down to change the tilt and side to side to turn, and it is like flying over the area. To fly to another area let the shift key up and use the left mouse key held down to drag the image. Once you get the hang of it you feel like you are in a hang glider drifting across the country, I also go into StreetView and keep clicking the forward arrow to "drive" through an area, which means you can go places you wouldn't dare go as a tourist, like shanty towns round big cities and places that are currently at war.
Like all things in life the split between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland nothing is straight forward and the complications involve old battles which go back to the 15th century , religion , Oliver Cromwell along with other rulers the fact that the troubles introduced the I.R.A. and the loss of many lives on both sides was largely that the I.R.A. wanted a United Ireland and the North wanted to be loyal to the Queen .Perhaps the best way to sum up many troubles around the world is to use the old terminology that "One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter " . I mistrust ALL politics so to say that the ruling elite is at the root of all our problems from war to poverty is a logical statement and ALL the elite rulers are corrupt and if one looks at the political scandals in the U.K. right now it is very hard for anyone to argue against . That does not mean that ordinary people are not corrupt just that ordinary people are not in a position of power. Also if one were to look around the world today at how many leaders and ex leaders are accused of corruption those not accused are very few. I have no answer for an alternative and in any case the ruling elite would not allow an alternative .

Are you not allowed to fence on these areas? If you were growing vegetables or flowers, someone's sheep or goats are allowed to just walk in and eat?

There are people who run up and dowm Snowdon daily, one in his 80s. You could hike it, go carefully thats all
