- Rick drives a 20-mile Lake District loop through pastoral valleys, over rugged mountain passes, and beside peaceful lakes. Stops along the way include a family-run sheep farm that doubles as a B&B, a tour through a still-functioning slate mine, and a local's lesson in the bewildering game of cricket.

I think it is great that Rick connects w/ ordinary people rather than visiting only the usual tourist sites. It gives one a feel for the personality of a country that is otherwise missed. And yes, I too am glad that I work in a carpeted, air conditioned office, and not in a slate mine. 09/18/2013
THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THE 40 VIDIO'S SHORTS OF GREAT BRITTAIN,EXCELLENT.
Lake Districts are mesmerizing in natural beauty. Wordsworth's poetry was inspired here. But, in Northern Pakistan unparralled scenic beauty awaits tourists and admirers of Nature in the purest form.
Spent time here a few months ago, and really enjoyed that drive...but the road is much more narrow, tortuous, and, in places, STEEPER than this video shows!! Can't wait to go back.
From Keswick head south and visit Grasmere and Ambleside and then cross over the Wrynose and Hardknott Pass and head for Wasdale Head with Wast Water and the Scafells , following a pint in the Wasdale Head Inn which sits in the shadow of Great Gable you can head back to Keswick. Also do the Honnister Pass south of Derwent Water.
this just triggers my wanderlust! so picturesque and worthwhile!
beautiful gods country/many tourist visit Cornwall/ Scotland etc ,but the lakes are just as wonderful and 4 me more beautiful,especially the northern lakes.
Great video, Rick! Such a beautiful place!
Newlands did have a body of water which was drained centuries ago. Hence the name New-Lands. It's an amazing place and a hotbed of mining activity.
Wonderful scenic drive
Great nature, remind me a little bit like the nature here in Bulgaria.
beautiful
Enjoyed the video. Visited briefly last year, love to go back and see more.
Quite different to Oz.
Nice video
I am watching your video from India.
I have been there last year it's really amazing
Ok Thank's
gorge!!!
GOOD VIDEO
Good
My dream
That slate was, 200 million years ago (or so), mud and silt on the bottom of an ocean :)
I've never been to England but I've been to NZ before and by the look of it England looks kinda similar to NZ...at least the countryside. can someone tell me if I'm right?
New Zealand is often considered in the UK to have a fairly similar look to parts of the country. Geological features in NZ appear to be larger though - things such as hills, mountains, lakes etc.
DePeaceHunter: Not just the scenery: many similar characteristics other than just a language and driving on the left.
Hi. Are there any farming holidays here in the nice Lake District?
como se yama el city es muy bonito
i will go here.. when rupiah is higher than pounds
I wish this is how I will spend my retirement
KEEP FIT THEN
Yes i also want a life there, it's my dream.
Cricket: not so much a national pastime but more a case of an international game...
The way he talks is highly irritating to my ears ............. otherwise, lovely vid :-)
OH DEAR--HOW SAD---NEVER MIND.
I say that about my wife a lot.
U can healp me a visa fruit paker in England
There are no visas available to fruit pickers/packers. To get a visa you need to be sponsored by an employer and earn a minimum of £30,000. A fruit packer would get around half that, £16,000.
For a seasoned traveler this Rick guy displays a lot of ignorance. While his lack of knowledge about cricket is understandable, his insistence that the various terms, bowler, run, batsman etc are some reinterpretation of U.S. baseball terminology is laughable; cricket having been around much longer than baseball....or is that Rounders?
Baseball goes back to 1744--formerly known as Rounder's before it transfered to the USA. some of the basic reference terms are very much like cricket --no need to relight the wars of independance over it.
Good God get a grip. The bloke is an open guy trying to learn more, he seems a great guy to me as does the guy he's speaking with !
There's a reference to 'baseball' in a Jane austen novel Northanger Abbey, 40 years before its supposed invention!
I just don't like American voices speaking about our country. It should be English
Ugh, you're the worst. The brexit voting, tory quaffing death of England with arms and legs.
WHY ARE USA MEN AND WOMAN SO BACK WORD
well stephen--I don't think they are BackWARD, they are visitors from a foreign land, as such, you should be more courteus to them son.
