I know that you won't be 47:26 on another trip, the Bovington royal tak museum is an amazing visual and tactile history of tanks. If you go on the right day their is a show of tanks and ordnance. Near by is the jurrasic coast where all the fossils are found- museums at Lyme Regis and Charmouth and Bridport where Broadchurch was filmed. The Special Boat Service is based in Poole and there is a museum there where the cockleshell hero's were trained in mini sub and canoe raids. Dorset is generally a cool place to visit. Thomas hardy museum et al. Loved the show, Patrick. PS the HMS Terror was launched and built in Topsham near Exeter near Exmouth Devon
Great video Patrick, I live in Surrey UK so this was an interesting watch. I don't know if you've ever been to the Historical Dockyard in Portsmouth but I think you'll like it a lot. You can see the actual Mary Rose boat from the 15th century, as well as lots of others like the HMS Victory. Also for seals, go to Horsey beach in norfolk
Duxford is well worth a visit. There are several hangars full of aircraft, one of them is the American aircraft museum too. If you get chance, watch an air show there
Norfolk born n bred here. So happy to see you're spending time in Norfolk. Definitely best to aim for Great Yarmouth for a quintessential English seaside town. Try some of the fishing villages on the north Norfolk coast. Hope you have a great stay!
One place to add is Portsmouth in Hampshire. It's on the front page of your map book. It's the home of the British Royal Navy. You've got HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, The Mary Rose, Charles Dickens Birthplace, The Spinnaker Tower, D-Day Museum. You can also get the ferry and go over to the Isle of Wight.
I live 15 minutes from duxford and there is nowhere else in the uk like it. its an active airfield so light aircraft are coming and going all day, as well as the occasional spitfire. highly recommend it.
The British tea time is called Afternoon tea. Just thought I'd say in case you wanted to google places for it. A town not far to the east of battle that's worth visiting is Rye. It's a beautiful place and American author Henry James lived there. You may also be interested in Pevensey, where William the Conqueror landed and built a temporary castle inside the walls of a Roman fort. It's depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. You mentioned a lot of Tudor people so you may be interested in visiting Hever Castle in Kent; the Childhood home of Anne Boleyn. The Oldest Church in Canterbury (and England) that's still in use is St Martin's Church so don't forget to visit it as well as the Abbey. Have you been to Westminster Abbey? Geoffrey Chaucer is buried there. Sadly the Inn that they started from in the tales is long gone but people still start pilgrimages there. I don't know if you've worked it out yet (You probably have) but in the road atlas there are little blue arrow tabs at the edges of the page with a number in it. That's the page number in the atlas for the next part of the map. It might help you navigate it better. Kudos of pronouncing Leicester correctly btw! Calais isn't in Normandy but in Hauts-de-France/Pas-de-Calais. Interesting video. I used to work in 3 Tourist Information centres in England so I love these type of videos and often ramble on too long in the comments.
Quick tip for you Patrick, the "folk" in Norfolk is not pronounced as "folk" the word. More "Norfuc"! The north coast around Blakeney, Cley and Sheringhan is nicer than the East coast imho

Thank you very much! So many great comments on this video. I have a lot to think about
I had a full English at the same place in London a couple of years ago. Fantastic atmosphere in the place.
Yes I really enjoyed that place. I hope to go back
Camouflage Trixie is purring got her motor running sounding better than the motor in my car purring like a kitten 😊

Do NOT go to Sheppey 😂
That map is comically large. 😂

Thank you very much! Everything I learn to pronounce properly, the better
