PERFECT Day in Devon England & Dartmoor National Park
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 มิ.ย. 2022
- Our UK road trip continues and we are spending the day in Devon, England, more specifically in Dartmoor National Park, visiting the Dartmoor ponies, the Postbridge Clapper Bridge, and checking out the beautiful views Dartmoor National Park has to offer. We then head to Taylor's Tea Room in Ashburton, where we have cream tea for the first time. This was our first time trying English tea and cream tea is my new favorite thing! Today was a perfect day exploring Devon. We end our day in Falmouth, Cornwall, which is where we'll be spending the next few days before we head North on our epic UK road trip.

We had a lovely time in Devon, but didn't get to stay long. What are your recommendations for places to visit in Devon for next time?
If you haven't watched our video exploring London, check it out: th-cam.com/video/943dagyIa-k/w-d-xo.html
Devon has several lovely animal sanctuaries. The Donkey sanctuary is popular aswell as the otter sanctuary/butterfly farm. You can do dolphin watching down there to i believe
Get yourselves to Looe in Cornwall. A little bit of heaven.
I have never been, but was in Plymouth for a couple of days for a funeral.
you need to visit guernsey channel islands ,30 min flight from Southampton and its smaller islands , alot like devon only with a bit of french in it look it up on google earth.
Totnes is lovely, I love living in devon. Exeter, brixham and Dartmouth are also lovely
This is the way visitors should see England, doing your own thing, exploring little country lanes, not following some predictable itinerary set by a tourist coach company. Have you had a Sunday Roast or Full English Breakfast yet? Most pubs do a Roast, all towns will have a place to get a breakfast. Glad you're enjoying yourselves.😄
I used to live near Loch Ness, it used to depress me to see the tourist coaches turn up, everyone piles off, take their photos of the Loch, pile back on the coach and off they go.
Full English, roast dinner 😴🥱 so boring. So bland. So predictable 🙄
@@juliecobbina2024 not bland if done properly.
@@michaelmelwani7752 ... just glorious to me, as you say, if done properly. I love roast dinners, my favourite. Likewise with a full English. Nothing boring at all. Coming from a Us.ian, it's laughable.
@@juliecobbina2024 so English lol julie behave yourself
I have lived in Devon for 35 years, Dartmoor is something I can't imagine 'not' being in my life. It's incredible, love the place.
One of the highlights of our trip for sure!
The Clapper Bridge has been there since the stone age. They just started using it for ponies later, when they were transporting wool which they didn't want to get wet.
You two make a lovely couple, you always both manage to make me smile. Your zest for life is infectious!
Thank you!
I'm South Devon born but have worked and lived in London all my adult life, with enjoyable returns to Devon
where family still live. There's so much there to see and enjoy, from the delights of the coastal resorts (north
and south Devon) to the towns and villages further inland. A moorland trip like yours on show is a fine way
to explore further inland, to places like Widdicombe (old spelling) and Lustleigh - and many others. People
return repeatedly to the county from far afield in the UK - even from glorious Yorkshire which has its own
delights! And Yorkshire folk are famously proud otheir own part of the country. Devon destinations like Torbay,
Dartmouth and further south - the coast road to Kingsbridge and Salcome past the great sweep of Slapton Sands
where US Armed Forces rehearsed their landings on Utah Beach on D-Day - are surely "musts" for anyone
visiting Devon (rhymes with "heaven"!), Happy travelling!!
Thank you for the suggestions!
That was super heartwarming. The ponies are cute, there's no denying it. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the South West.
Their powerful kicks are not quite so cute when they land on you.
Thank you! ❤
And "neat" as well.
Hello from Exeter in Devon! Great to see you enjoying Dartmoor! If you visit Devon again, I would recommend spending some time in Exeter, the cathedral city of Devon, we also have an historic quay and the remains of a Norman castle (Rougemont). Agatha Christie's house, Greenway, near Dartmouth, is also worth a visit, along with the south or north Devon coastline. You'll need to try clotted cream ice-cream next time!
Thank you! Hopefully next time we can visit Exeter.
Hi , also from exeter , nice post x
My mother was born and raised in Exeter, moved to Canada in the early 50's? Her sister met and married an Australian chap and emigrated there about the same time.
You forgot to mention the Roman wall,underground passageways,and a few other buildings and possibly the WW2 damage to the city that is still evident.
Will add to this recommendation: There's a steam train that runs from Paignton to Kingswear, and there is a stop along the way for Agatha Christie's house, if you want to stop there. You can also take a ferry across the River Dart, and take a river cruise up the Dart and back, some of which offer the cruise on a Victrorian paddle-steamer.
While in Dartmouth, look for an ice-cream place that will sell you some of the booziest rum-raisin ice cream you'll ever have.
Now your seeing what England is all about 👍🏻✅
The New Forest which is just up the coast is a great place to see loads of horses roaming free.
Thanks for the suggestion!
The new forest just up the coast ? You do know the A303 right and we have a few counties in between there and Devon.
2.5hrs by car on the 303 joy.
You two have been so complimentary about our country, thankyou, hope you enjoy each, and every day, good health to you both, waiting the next instalment....
Thank you so much!
Haven;t they just! So polite even when they're not massive fans of the odd thing... Lovely couple
Stephen.yet our own people don't appreciate. I gdtcs bit fed up with showing a beautiful English place and it says almost like being abroad
If you ever come back to England, you should look up Dartmouth in South Devon its beautiful so is Lynmouth & Lynton in North Devon & also Woolacombe bay, Clovelly lots of of pretty places in Devon, also should go to Durdle Door in Dorset, Corfe Castle & the village, Dorset, and Shaftesbury in Dorset, Cheddar gorge in Somerset, i also liked Minehead and the town of Dunster in Somerset as well. The Cotswolds are some lovely little old English villages i love Bourton on the water in particular, the Lake district, Norfolk and Suffolk in the East of England both counties have some lovely villages, the Norfolk broads and some lovely beaches, wells beach in Norfolk is lovely come in summer though lol, love the videos.
Thank you for the suggestions! We'd like to visit The Cotswolds and the Lake District next time, but hopefully we can explore more that you mentioned.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Plymouth has to be on your intinerary!
@@timhannah4is that a joke?
Love watching you guys, you are so calming. And I love that you are loving being in England. I may be biased but it is a very beautiful country especially in the sun 🧡
Thank you! ❤
Hurrah! Good you're having a jolly time. As for Devon, there are loads of great spots to visit, I love Clovelly. Just one of countless beautiful places in a wonderful county. Have fun.
We'll have to visit Clovelly next time. Thank you for the suggestion!
Absolutely love Devon, been quite a few times, would love to move there one day. Dartmouth, Brixham Harbour, Ilfracombe, Lynton and Lynmouth, and Clovelly are some of my favourite places, glad you enjoyed your time there.
Agree with some of those, I lived in ilfracombe for 5 years and it's a toilet lol
I enjoyed my stay near Brixham Harbour a while back. There's something special about having a few evening ales in a harbour pub, too. Totally different atmosphere to it. Lovely!
@@stevenartmann2642 Wow i loved the area, went in summer took lots of lovely photos.
@@fuzzlewit9 Yes i agree, i loved my stay there as well.
Thank you for the suggestions!
44 degrees in Dubai today and you guys are making me a little homesick for my home county .. Devon !
I really enjoy your positive, enthusiastic approach to life .. unbridled joy and a constant smile !
I wish you both all the luck and happiness in the world .. bon voyage !
Thank you!
You are doing England right. I love that you are seeing the best of this country by exploring far and wide. :)
Thanks! We couldn't see everything and we already have a long list of where to go next time, but I'd like to think we covered a good variety. 😀
Great to see you visit one of the most beautiful parts of England, our countryside is a wonder to behold, so glad you enjoyed it ! 😊👍
It really is! Thanks!
I’m so happy you came through Devon, Dartmoor is a few minutes down the road from me. If you ever visit again, I recommend Clovelly, Croyde, and Lynton & Lynmouth 💜
We've had a few people mention Clovelly, but I'll have to look into your other suggestions. Thank you!
@@TheMagicGeekdom 💜
Hi, enjoying your videos & thoughts on the Uk.
Regarding the sheep, the blue on their back usually means the Tups (male) have had their way with the Ewes (female). They do this by putting a harness on the Tup, which has blue wax on it, so they know which Ewes are in lamb! It also means the farmer can stagger the timing, so there's no ttoo many lambs frolicking about!
Exactly, it's the ear tags that identify sheep and owner.
Why bother with a harness when you're already wearing wellies? Sounds a bit kinky to me. I suppose it's a Young Farmers innovation, eh....no respect for tradition.🐑
Also different tups have a different colours, so they know which tup covered the ewe. Hello from Brixham 😀
Thank you!
Yay you made it to Devon and had a cream tea 😋! Just remember across the bridge in Cornwall it is jam first!! I am very fortunate to live here in Devon 🤩
Same here.
don't encourage such heresy, its always jam LAST :)
@@Simon-hb9rf Haha!
I grew up in Devon, but now live in Cornwall. You're right, there's a lot of friendly rivalry about whether to put jam or Cream on first.
Personally I definitely have to have Cream first, good n' thick, with home-made strawberry jam lathered on top! And a good cup of tea on the side. Scrumptious! 💛 😋 🥰
Look how gorgeous 💖 the national park is 😊 stunning!!!
This came up on my feed and it’s lovely to see you enjoying where I live. Only today I drove across the moor from Ashburton (you pronounced it correctly) to Tavistock and back. Many ponies and foals today, and sheep and cows in the road, as it’s a little later in the year. As for the cream tea, I live in Devon and - shock, horror - eat mine the Cornish way, jam first then a pillowy dollop of clotted cream. Glad you enjoyed your whistle stop visit to south Devon.
Lovely video, (with a bonus of a cute west highland white terrier looking out of the window @ 7.52). I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Devon and Cornwall.
Thank you!
It’s nice to see that you are not a typical tourist and just visit London.
We enjoyed London, but there is certainly more to see than that!
Taylor’s tea cafe is just a 10 minute drive away from home, absolutely gorgeous coffee and tea.
Thanks for this video - it's so interesting! Looking forward to more!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
You both are so addictive to watch, lovely to see Americans experience the united kingdom and our culture! If yous are able to, visit lands end as its very end of Cornwall (south west of UK) where the ocean starts! John O'Groats is the furthest north east of Scotland, a trip that is on my bucket list!!
Thank you for the suggestions! We missed both of these, but they'd be neat to see.
"I love it when babies are ponies!" I knew just what you meant. Lol!! ❤ Cheers from Wisconsin. Thanks for sharing your visit with the ponies and the park. Planning our trip right now and when I learned there were wild horses in the area I thought I'd check out the park. And now added to our itinerary. 😊
Thank you for an entertaining journey, you are Bubberly and clearly sincere in your comments about "Old England", much appreciated. Simo.
Hi folks. It's so super to see that you're having brilliant time AND mostly rain-free, too! Keep up the great vlogs, I think that all your fans
are really enjoying them. Good luck for your travels.........................................................the ancient Englishman.
We lucked out with no rain! Thanks for watching. 😃
north devon born and bred and its so lovely to see someone enjoying the kind of thing thats just second nature to me, im glad you guys enjoyed dartmoor!
I’m very blessed to live in south Devon
It’s truly a glorious place
I live in the south hams in a tiny hamlet near to a small village called Hope Cove
Lucky you, we love the South Hams.
Eva I was a Waiter back in 1978 at the Cottage Hotel in Hope Cove , you are luck 🍀 indeed I Love the South Hams 😊
Oh that sounds nice. Everything we saw was beautiful!
Do u live in Galmpton?!
Me to
What a lovely couple you are! I love the cheery optimism of Americans. And enthusiasm. It was lovely to see that Devon scenery,the wild Moor land. I'm glad you didn't try to feed the ponies as that can make them aggressive in that they mug other visitors to get food. So naughty. My family moved from Hampshire to a Dartmoor Farm just over 70 years ago but now my last uncle died the farm is sold.
The thing with a cream tea is,they rarely give you butter to go under the cream and jam so if I know I'll be having a cream tea I take my own in a little container. I usually put the cream on first as sometimes it slips off the jam,it depends on the consistency. But I always forget if that's the Devon or the Cornwall way. Thanks for the lovely film.
Thank you!
Then you for your video and your impressions of your visit s to the different parts of the U.K. illuminated impressions!
Nice. Video, I'm glad that you enjoyed your short visit to Devon, it's a pity that you couldn't stay longer as there is a lot more to see.
I am Devon born & bred, & I have lived in the same village in East Devon, on the border with Mid Devon all my life of 63 years.
Dartmoor is only about an hour's drive away, so I go there occasionally. I also work with Highway Maintenance contractors & often have the great pleasure of driving over the moor & around the narrow winding roads, looking at the amazing views & the flowers in the fields & gardens. 😀
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed my home county. I live in Exeter, so Dartmoor is on my doorstep, it's just perfect on the moors. But as you rightly said and discovered, the weather on Dartmoor can change in a second - I've been up there many times when the sky is clear blue and the sun is shining and a second later a mist descends and hail and heavy rain starts. While back in Exeter, the sun has been shining all day. I would suggest checking out some of the North Devon beaches, especially Croyde Bay, I used to surf there when I was younger or if you enjoy castles and stately homes Powderham Castle is a good place to visit it's on the outskirts of Exeter, near Starcross which is on the Dawlish road. Have fun in Cornwall!
Thank you for the suggestions! We hope to be able to explore more of Devon next time. 😃
Widdecombe, Buckfast Abbey , Dartmouth , Brixham , Exeter cathedral are all must visits
We wished we had more time because we wanted to see more, but I am adding these to the list fo next time. Thank you for the recommendations!
You guys make me smile. Thanks for that and I put loads more cream on my scone when I have a cream tea.
Sounds great! Thanks!
I'm so impressed that you're driving around so much! You'll get to see the best bits of the country that way. I grew up in Canada and moved to the UK as an adult and it took me months to re-learn to drive! I found it utterly terrifying!
Enjoy Cornwall! Tintagel Castle and the Minack Theatre are two of my favourite places there.
Thank you!
It makes me so happy to see other people enjoying my home as much as I do :)
I like the fact that you know that there's more to uk 🇬🇧 than london hope you had a great time bless you both
So pleased you enjoyed your visit to England
So glad your enjoying your time in the UK I love your videos .
🍰☕☕.....many thanks for the video👍👍👍🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎. Its will be a very sad day when you leave the UK...so glad your making memories👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
It's really nice to see people from the US visiting the coast rather than just THAT LONDON, Devon and Cornwall are 2 of the most butiful places on earth and when I've visited it hurts to leave and come back to the great city of 💥LIVERPOOL 💥
you seem like lovely people, take care and all the best for your future travels 🙏👍
Thank you!
When you have grass down the middle of the road that's when I start to get worried during in sat nav driving. I lived in Devon and it's pretty common in smaller villages and shorts cuts. You soon learn how to drive once there, slow and carefully around those bendy roads is the key. Tractors and animals can be around the corner. Really chuffed you did so much independent exploring, that's the best way, good for you ! 👍👍 Vik
Thank you!
Very nice! I was on vacation in Cornwall in 1994, stayed in Launceston, and loved the nature in Bodmin- and Dartmoore! These horses, waterfalls, just nature! Great that 28 years later it is still beautiful there! Greetings from Germany 👋👍
Very cool! Thank you for watching!
Thankyou for sharing your journey.
So glad you loved Dartmoor as I only live a couple of miles away it was strange seeing my local haunts on a You Tube video ! Enjoy the rest of your stay !!
Oh neat! Thank you!
Loved all of this. You do a good job,
what a fantastic upload, loved it! ...
Thank you!
So glad you had a good time in Devon and Cornwall your Cornish cottage looked nice and the views were magnificent.
Thank you!
Happy to see you having such a good time
Thanks!
Positive vibes. Cornwall is great ! one of the wonders of the world IMO
Thank you!
Yay looks lovely. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you!
I'm loving your channel. Glad you enjoyed England.
Love you 2, longer videos needed lol 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lol noted. Thank you!
Love your enthusiasm for life😊
Glad you loved dartmoor, I do, it's such a fascinating place in so many ways, but the bit about painted sheep killed me. Haven't laughed so much for a very long time
Wow so nice to see you on Dartmoor! Such a beautiful place. Hope you get the chance to come up to North Devon!
We didn't visit North Devon this time, but hopefully next time!
good to see you having a good time going out and about
Thank you!
Lovely vid. Well done!
Awesome to see this! I drive these roads every day as my commute to work. I pass the postbridge and two bridges hotel.
Visiting Exeter next week with family. Excited!!
Those scones looked so yummy and people should just put whatever they want first and eat. It is good that you enjoy your travels and it comes across so well that you do.
So pleased that you are enjoying our wonderful country.
Thank you for watching!
So you have been to my county of devon ! My kids played in the river at postbridge during summer day trips. Congratulations on navigating the devon lanes 🙂 you can have al four seasons in one day on dartmoor. Glad you had a good time x
Oh nice! Thank you. ❤
Yaay! You visited mah home county! I was born and grew up in Devon, and I after living in Kent for the past 30 years, I miss Devon every time I see it on videos.
Oh nice! We loved Devon. We hope to visit Kent next time, so we'd love any recommendations you have for either county.
This is where I live. Cream first, then jam - you're doing it right.
I remember the first time I had a cream tea... so good, watching your reactions really made me smile! :)
Glad you’re enjoying a trip / visit to our Country and sampling bits of our heritage . I’ve visited your Country but it cannot be compared on a like to like basis to ours , because yours is so very big .
That's fair, but also we didn't expect the UK to be as diverse as it is for how small it is comparatively. It's been neat seeing the different regions.
There's a youth hostel at Postbridge on Dartmoor that used to be my grandads farm and where my mum spent most of her childhood. I absolutely love Dartmoor 💚💚💚great video x
You're having a great time, that pace in Cornwall looks brilliant!
The lanes are fine, just expect the unexpected!
Keep the videos coming!
Thank you for watching!
Hope you enjoy it, the UK has some beautiful places outside of the cities.
That's what we've learned!
See you crossed the Tamar Bridge between Plymouth and Saltash. The Rail Bridge to the left with I K Brunel on the top (called The Royal Albert Bridge) part of The Great Western Railway.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel probably the greatest Victorian engineer.
If you went the other way into Cornwall, the A30 across Bodmin Moor you would have passed The Jamaica Inn (1778) immortalised by Daphne du Maurier in the book of the same name, a tail of Smugglers, Pirates and other villainy.
Thank you for the info!
Fabulous updates, continue your journeys safely..x
Thank you!
Loved the vid god bless glad you liked it here
I am from London and lived in Falmouth for 2 years and now back in London, I miss living there so much.
Always liked your earlier 'tasting/testing' videos but the videos of your trip to Britain have been genuinely lovely to watch.
Thank you so much!
Wow I love that you went to visit where I grew up in Ashburton!! My parents still live there, so I still get to go and visit often.
Cant believe you stopped at the Warren Inn and didnt have the rabbit pie....in front of the the fire that never goes out...cute!😈🍻
Next time! Thank you for the info
Thank you for taking me to Devon enjoyed it very much I Live just outside of London I love London very much it is my favourite place to be. Looking forward to see your next destination
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
Love these shows 👍
Thank you!
I've been to the pub at 3 minutes into the video, had a lovely meal there sitting outside in the fresh air, you have to visit Polperro when in Cornwall, it's a magical little fishing village
Oh that's amazing!
I live in Devon. Great to see you having a nice time. North Devon great too, Exeter is a beautiful city, then the beaches at Saunton or woolacombe. Exmouth. All fab xx
Thank you for the suggestions!
Dartmoor is the setting for the Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of the Baskervilles
If you go hiking, honestly, don't stay out overnight, even with a tent.
Even in summer a rainstorm can make you lose your way... then you'll understand why people stress the Hound and the Grimpen Mire on Dartmoor.
Or if you remember 'An American Werewolf in London', don't stray from the path!
@@stevetheduck1425 Hahaha! You're right, it's a dangerous place indeed, and very scary for some!
I used to spend every weekend for 10 months of the year on the Moor, expedition training, rock climbing, orienteering, fell running, etc etc. We trained teams for the Ten Tors runs every year, and were assessors/sweep team for the Duke of Edinburgh's awards expeditions, and the annual Gold and Silver Weekends. Fun times! ⛺️
Yes! We wanted to visit Hound Tor, but ended up being too intimidated by the lanes and losing Sat Nav that we just kept driving. Hopefully next time!
Loving your road trip and experiencing beautiful places I would love to visit. Nothing to beat a cream tea 🍵 😋
Thank you!
Devon is a lovely part of the country, I am really glad you are enjoying your stay in England. Even I havent been to Cornwall and I am English, closest I got was Plymouth, by the way thats a great place to visit if you can. realistically you would have to stay six months to see most of the country and even then you would only see about a quarter of it.
Devon way is jam then cream really glad you’re loving the West Country I’ve now lived in Somerset now for 16yrs
Ooh! That Hardy's VR wine is excellent.
It was really great watching you enjoy Devon so much. I grew up on Dartmoor National Park, and I remember as a toddler running around barefoot with my brothers and sisters, playing Robin Hood adventures in the wizzened trees of Whistman's Woods, or swimming in the icy cold rivers, and sitting under sparkling waterfalls pretending we were mermaids. When we were older we used to ride horseback over the moors, and spent most weekends camping, rock climbing and hiking. So many priceless memories! 💖
I also watched your video on your visit to Cornwall, as I've lived here for almost ten years now. The beaches are 5 minutes' walk from my house. Come back and see us all any time! And be sure to try Rodder's Cornish clotted Cream and Hockings Dairy Ice Cream. They're both local family businesses, and they make the best treats for visitors.🍦 There's even a local Cornish Vodka to try, secreted away in a tiny Cornish village. 😋🥂
There are several local 'small batch' Gin producers in Cornwall, and they're all amazing!
Also try the Plymouth Gin Company in Plymputh, Devon, where you can visit the old Gin Distillery and try some samples! You can find it within walking distance of the famous 'Mayflower Steps' at the Barbican, where the pioneers first set sail for America. ☠️🧜♂️🚣♂️🐋⚓️🛶🌊🏴☠️🇬🇧🇺🇲
Oh that sounds lovely!
I don’t know how this ended up as a recommendation, but I’m glad it was. Lovely to see you enjoying our little corner or the world
I don't know how it did either, but thank you for watching!
those scones looked really goooood!!!
They were! 😋
One of the most amazing sights I ever saw in Devon after living there for 20+ years was Meatloaf and his minder eating a cream tea. It was him because we were close enough to hear him speak. He was huge, his minder was twice as big 😀
Oh! Welcome to Devon! I hope you had a great time. You went past me on the way to Cornwall. Best wishes from Plymouth!
Thank you! We'd love to spend some time in Plymouth next time, so we'd take any recommendations you have.
@@TheMagicGeekdom Nice. I always recommend visiting the Hoe and the Barbican. That's the place with the red and white lighthouse with a view over the Estuary. It's beautiful on a sunny day.
Hi glad your liking the Devonshire cream tea. The scones when they are made without a template, on the North Devon coast near the Don Valley we had a B AND B where they had a garden cream tea table out the front, when we ordered we were expecting the usual 2 1/2 in diam. template sized scone what we got was about 4 1/2 in with almost a bucket of that morning clotted cream and home made raspberry jam oh my god I had to have 2 1/2 because I took the extra 1/2 away with me. It’s definitely spoiled scones from other places because they are definitely template scones. The ones you had were almost the same shape to my imagination. Damn it!!! Please always make a scone large, big not constrained by a biscuit cutter. Thank you!!
Oh I see you’ve come across the West Country mile on your journey, when you drive along the narrow, steep hedged roads, don’t you feel, although you’ve only driven about a mile it seams like 3 at least?? See West Country mile
Cheers both carry on.
I'm so glad you liked our county, When you were up by the Warren House inn, Its a shame you didnt walk up the road to see Bennets Cross, A stone cross thats been there since at least 1702. If you come back, Exeter with its cathedral and Quay is a good place to visit. Also Princetown, Which is on the moor with Dartmoor prison, Built to hold the French during the Napoleonic war and also Americans during the war of 1812
We'll have to check them out next time. Thanks!
Devon. As already cited; Buckfast Abbey, and the nearby butterfly/otter sanctuary. Burgh island might be worth a day visit. Very strong connection to Agatha Christie and Noel Coward. Plymouth is really just a normal English city but the Barbican area is quite historic, as is the Royal William Yard.
Thank you for the suggestions! We'll definitely have to look into these for next time.
7:38 my Home city of Plymouth!.
If you are in Cornwall definitely go to Mount Edgecombe National park. its a fantastic place to walk and the Pub by the water and boats when you are finished is amazing. Its honestly one of my favorite places on earth.
Thank you for the suggestion! We missed it this time, but hopefully next time.
just subscribed, came across your channel by accident, your both adorable , live in plymouth devon myself, so dartmoor is my play ground, anyway watched quite a few vids now as interesting seeing what you make of the uk from your point of view
