I always find it really funny when people say they didn't know Britain had beaches, I mean, Britain is an Island, surrounded by coastlines, and of course beaches 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Even funnier is that SO many British people don't realise that the BEST beaches in the UK are actually around Scotland... Miles of pure WHITE, soft sand and due to the climate, the least occupied by tourists - sometimes just empty or with a few people dotted around! You only have to put into 'Google Images' the phrase "Scotland's white, sandy beaches" and you get an idea! It includes many of the Scottish islands too. Maybe one of the UK's best kept, yet obvious 'secrets', perhaps? 🤔 😅 😂 🤣
@@stewedfishproductions7959 I think most of us here realise you have lovely beaches (maybe matched by some in Cornwall and Wales) but the weather is
a problem it's why they are empty and the sea is freezing! But that aside you have a beautiful country and you are blessed with that beauty! I'm Welsh😀😀
No British person is more than 70 miles from a beach.
@@Sophie.S..The funny thing is, a Brit: I'm 70 miles inland. Literally as far away as you can get from the beach. Might as well be living in inner Mongolia. An American: I live on the coast. Just 70 miles from the beach. 😂
Every Brit watching could give a case for their own Top 25 sites within 50 miles of their home. We have a wealth of history in our landscapes and all areas have merit.
I was thinking of other places within Britain that were not mentioned such as Yorkshire, Oxford etc.. but you're quite correct, when I think closer to home, Bath, Chedder, The Somerset flats, Wells cathedral, Maesbury castle (just a round lump in the dirt now, but still...) and of course the sunrise or sunset from the top of Glastonbury Tor, Dartmoor, Exmoor, The New forest, Stonehenge, Avebury, I mean the list of historic and/or noteworthy areas is endless and as you say, most within 50 miles of home.
I definitely agree with that statement. I was born and raised in the Scottish Borders so I can say that you've got places like Edinburgh, Glasgow, all the 4 Border abbeys; Melrose, Jedburgh, Kelso and Dryburgh. You've also got smaller tourist attractions like Mary, Queen of Scots house in Jedburgh and you've got lovely coastal towns like Berwick-upon-Tweed. There's also the obligatory shout-out of my hometown of Peebles.
100% we live on a small island in comparison to some countries. But I never get bored of it. There are still so many places I have not explored. Scotland and Ireland have been neglected in comparisons to England and Wales.
50 miles was too big so I checked out a radius of 25 miles from my home. Downton Abby(Highclere Castle), Watership Down, The White Horse at Uffington, Avebury stone circle/Silbury Hill,West Kennet Longbarrow, The Ridgeway, Lovely bits of The Thames, Henley, Oxford, Winchester, Lots more scenic downland, Quaint villages everywhere, and swindon.
I don,t understand why so many people love the Lake district,I went up there and I found it Grim, Bleak and depressing,Its not the the best countryside in Britain,i,ve seen much nicer places.Lake district is a shithole.
I’m English but I’m so proud to be British and I love our Scottish, Welsh and Irish brothers and sisters! And our British isles are beautiful. Good video thank you
☝️👍
sure you're even British?? you don't even know the difference between Ireland and northern Ireland FFS,you didn't mention northern Ireland but instead mentioned Ireland ..eh??
He didn't mention a distinction because it wasn't necessary in that description I assume?? Nothing in that comment hints at a lack of understanding and doesn't require a political analysis@@boredweegie553
@@boredweegie553 The British love the Irish, in both the North and South. It may be a surprise to a lot of people, but we’re not the 1% of the elites from hundreds of years ago.
@@boredweegie553 Geographically, Ireland is part of the British Isles. Politically, obviously, the Republic of Ireland isn't part of Britain, but geographically the island of Ireland is.
Yes, it really looks like that. As an American who has been to the UK 70+ times, I can honestly tell you that you can spend a year there and never see everything there is to see. The last trip was to London, the Lake District and the Peak District. We loved all of it and really wish we had spent four nights in the Peak District instead of one.
Castleton in the Peak District? Or Buxton?
@@scottpannell2286 Buxton. Stayed at the Crescent and found the hotel to be wonderful and not bad value for money.
@@kevinrakow380 as is always the way, you were 10 miles away from a spectacular area. Buxton is lovely enough though.
It looks like that... minus the HDR.
I live in sheffield the peaks are on my doorstep, but you would not believe how many people from here have never experienced gods country
The Isles of Scilly …pronounced ‘silly’ not skilly! The reason there are no hotels along the white cliffs is a) It’s a protected area and b) big chunks regularly fall into the sea.
And that is why they stay white!
Glad you clarified that (Scilly) it annoyed me LOL
@@vtbn53 And me 😂
When "Edinburgh" came up on screen I thought "oh god here we go - Edinberg, or Edinburrow" and yet he pronounced that correctly, which surprised me lol
@@vtbn53an me! 😅
As a Scot/brit, watching this made me so happy and proud of every part of our UK. I really don't think most of us appreciate the beautiful, majestic and historical place we all live. Myself included 😊
This English/Brit agrees with you 100%. I’ve not visited Scotland yet but it’s definitely happening next year! 😊🇬🇧🏴🏴
@@Whippy99Scotland is amazing, I hope make it there!
I agree Britain is beautiful it comes alive in summertime ..
@@BlyatimirPootin I’m going to make it happen as we will both be retired next year 😊
@@Whippy99 good for you, enjoy!
"Dunkirk. Great movie." Creasing 🤣🤣 That comment alone speaks volumes about the world we live in today.
I thought the same ! The fact it is a true and harrowing story is the biggest take away, not the film.
I'm British and watching this made me well up, espeically at Snowdonia, what a lovely place we live in and we often don't appreciate it!
Agree 100%!
It's quite humbling to watch other peoples reactions to the British Isles when you live here and take it for granted. I know there's a lot to complain about government & economy wise (let's not even go there) but we shouldn't let it overshadow how beautiful the actual land itself is.
Stunning, absolutely stunning!!
Northumberland is also a beautiful part of England. Bamburgh Castle and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne are stunning.
I totally agree the North East never gets a mention we have the best beaches castles Hadrians wall Alnwick castle which was in the Potter films And the most friendly people. But I will say he showed some amazing places please save the green belt
I'm going to Northumberland tomorrow to visit the family. It's Britain's biggest secret ❤️
Northhumberland is UK best kept secret. Its beaches and landscape is beyond description for the British Isles. Visited both places and also other places in that area too. Its stunning.
Northumbrian born and bred here! Grandparents lived in tynemouth so I grew up on the Longsands. The shuggy boats were a particularly epic memory. 😊
I'm so sad that it's gone now because Sycamore Gap was my absolute favourite place to go. As a native to the area who has done a full circuit of the UK and coming home a couple of years ago, there's nowhere better in England.
Watching Americans react to the beauty of the British landscape makes me appreciate it all the more. When you think the whole of the British isles could more or less fit into one US state area-wise, the diversity of our landscapes towns, cities and villages, as well as our accents and cultures is really fascinating. Great reaction channel btw you have a gentle and respectful way about you. Subscribed.
British and Irish landscape
it could fit into a state 10 times over. This island is really small. Ignore the mas which show it to be the same size as France or Germany, that's a lie.The whole of the UK would fit into France 4 times in reality.
@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim Which state? Ireland or the UK. The countries might be small but they are perfectly formed. Huge amount of history, culture and landscapes packed. Ireland is also not part of the UK
It's a national disgrace the government has allowed water companies to pump raw sewage on to our wonderful beeches and rivers...
The natural beauty is preserved by laws forbidding housing and development of any kind on the most
beautiful places. Of course there are town, and beaches, etc. where you will find the usual sea side
items, houses, shops, ice cream etc etc. but not at the protected sites.
Lots of comments saying there is so much more not on the list but I just wanted to say the guy who made the video you are reacting to did such a great job.
His footage is excellent, shows where everything is on the map, goes over the history - a very good job indeed by that young man. Bravo.
I live in the Lake District. Your reaction is killing me. 😂😂 Why are so shocked? The British Isles are stunningly beautiful, and I'm so proud to be a native of England. ❤
I love hearing "look at those beaches and blue skies. I wanna go there." And knowing from the lack of bathers and swimmer's it's probably about 12°C and windy af 😂😂
Most postcard views are photographed in March when it's 5°C if you're lucky.
Or just as likely not ! It is those myths about British weather that surprises so man when visitors find
its not true !
@@marycarver1542hmm well as someone who’s lived here for almost 20 years I would say it’s likely not
FACTS :)
Not to mention industrial and sewage pollution.
I love watching these, it reminds me how beautiful my country is...and that it is WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Same. I love this country. I’m in Wales and I hate to see what’s happening here.
Captain Mainwaring, is that you?
Well, stop voting for the torries then! They allowed the water companies to dump shit into the sea! Re-join Europe, and get our rights back!
They don't like it up em. @@mrscenescof4747
Who are you fighting!?!
You could do a entire top 25 video for just ONE part of the isles - be it Ireland , Wales , England or Scotland. This video just skims the surface. There is SO much more !!
The south of England is also a goldmine of paleolithic ruins, barrow mounds and stone circles. It truly is an ancient land.
Most Brits only need to drive an hour or less to find a beach and centuries old Churches, Castles and buildings are everywhere, We are so lucky to have so much on and around our beautiful UK.
Unless you live in Northampton...
I live 10 minutes drive from a church that is almost 1400 years old and housed 2 saints. A further 5 minute walk to a beach painted by LS Lowry. 20 minute drive from a UNESCO world heritage Cathedral. However its grim up North so don't come we like to keep it for ourselves ;P
British Isles is more than the UK.
I only need walk 30 seconds. I can see the sea from my bedroom window.
@@mattbugr4283You are lucky, problem is you don’t know it.
It's kinda funny that you'd think that the UK doesn't make you think of beaches,
1, it's a large island
2, it has 12,429 km or 7,723 miles of coastline.
There are many many beautiful beaches and coastal walks.
@@benjiman_OBE good luck! 👍
It's a series of islands...hence "British Isles". I live on one of the Scottish islands...
It's kinda funny that you seem to think that the UK and GB are the same thing. (That's the coastline length of GB, not the UK)
@@Atom-56that's ridiculous
GB is England Scotland Whales, Uk is GB and everything in the british isles
I consider myself very lucky to live in the UK. I spend every year going to see new places and it always amazes me how beautiful it is.
and yet you didn't notice the glaring obvious fact that Ireland & Northen Ireland aren't part of the British Isles !
@@BoomsRiddico4868 Just google it, it'll correct you.
I live in East Anglia which didn't get a mention , Cambridge is worth a visit some beautiful buildings Kings College chapel to name one . Norwich and the Norfolk Broads also are to be recommended. Check them out if you have time . Good travelogue, you are very welcome peace and love .
"I didn't realise the UK had beaches" - _Laughs in Norfolk_ Easy to love East Anglia!
I agree, and Lincoln is definitely worth a visit.
Honourable mentions; bath, cheddar gorge, York, kynance cove, kielder forest, Ben Nevis, Forest of Dean, Peak District, exmoor, gurnsey, yorkshire dales, Cardiff castle, Eden project Devon, Oxfordshire
Loch Lomond and the Beaches of Harris.
Eden project is in Cornwall not Devon
@@sandraford3788 yes
Why did you capitalise some of these place names but not others?..bizarre.
Salcombe, Fowey, The Minack Theatre / Perranporth, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor, The New Forest, The Norfolk Broads - the canal network, Barmouth, St Andrews, honestly the list goes on - even right next to the M25 you have Windsor, Runnymede, Savill Gardens, Wisley, Box Hill...
A lot of Americans don’t realise we have beaches 😂, they see scenes like Dover and the high rocks of Scotland and think that’s how it is around the whole island.
Plus people focus on London when thinking about the UK, so don't give beaches a second thought.
Have to wonder what they think we're surrounded by, considering we are an island nation
I can't believe they don't know how many beaches we have! We're an island!
Americans realize nothing outside the bubble they live in . They are the most willfully ignorant people on the planet. Most of them never leave their home state never mind the country.
To be fair, Americans associate beaches with hot weather and that's something that most British beaches don't experience very often. Beautiful, yes, great for lying on the sand, but 10 months of the year you're not doing a lot of swimming.
I live near Durdle Door and videos like these help me to appreciate something which has become so everyday. It really is a beautiful corner of the world.
My dad got an American friend and told him to visit certain castles here and he’s in love with them. Amazing history going back so far
He has only touched the tip of the iceberg with 25 😊 there are literally thousands of beautiful places in Great Britain ❤
This is my Country of which I am so proud and which I love so much. These wonderful places are only a handful of the amazing sites that you will find across the British Isles. So many British people don’t know anything of these, they prefer to jump on a plane and head off to lie on a Mediterranean beach and spend all night in a club, they don’t know what they are missing but probably wouldn’t appreciate them anyway. He mentions the south east, Cornwall and Lake District but hardly any other part of England. Just to throw in a few Dartmoor, Exmoor, The Cotswolds, Shakespeare country, East Anglia, the Peak District, The Yorkshire Dales and Moors, Northumberland, the Scottish Lowlands and many more…..you’ll never see them all on one holiday trip.
so true mate
It’s nice to know someone thinks like me
You missed the best part of the UK Wales
@@RedPhone-mz5lv that’s because the video actually mentioned Wales although I didn’t include it in those he did. I love Wales and have many good Welsh friends.
Exactly. I'm a tour cyclist and have been prying into every nook and cranny I can over the last 25 years, and I'm still nowhere near done with visiting all the amazing places these astonishing isles has to offer, so this very nice video didn't even touch the sides.
I once spent a day paddle boarding on Llyn Padarn in Wales. It was a cold, still, misty day and the majesty of the place SANG. I have been to many of the places on this list but Lunch Padarn stole my English heart
I love your reactions to our wonderful country. I count myself lucky to have been born here!
and yet you didn't notice the glaring obvious fact that Ireland & Northen Ireland aren't part of the British Isles !
I am always amazed when I hear people say that they are surprised at how lovely our country is. There are many beautiful places here and you can soend a very long time visiting castles, parks, old houses, beautiful countryside and much more. Come and see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
That’s because Americans are so arrogant , they think US is the only beautiful part of the world..🙄🏴
and yet you didn't notice the glaring obvious fact that Ireland & Northen Ireland aren't part of the British Isles !
@@BoomsRiddico4868 if you do some Geography research, you will find that the island of Ireland (which includes the Republic and N. Ireland) is part of the British Isles along with about 6,000 others. Try googling "What is the second largest island in the British Isles?"
"How do they get their fresh water?" Man's never been to Ireland before, in Ireland it rains so much that if you get thirsty you just open your mouth and look up.
Love it 🤣🤣
The Skellig Islands were where Luke Skywalker was hiding out in The Force Awakens. For all the sequels' flaws, that was some immaculate location scouting.
The Dark Hedges were used as the road out of King's Landing in Game of Thrones because of how fantastical and magical they look.
The puffins being the inspiration for the Porgs
@@hartshapedNot so much the inspiration as the fact there were too damn many of them and it was easier to roto them than try to paint them out.
@@maqusan22 sort of what I meant, a creative solution you could say
I thought this video he's looking at must be old or that live under a rock ?! After all who hasn't seen Star wars 7/8.
Nearly everyone I know takes this place for granted.
Sure like everywhere it's got some crap towns.
But I live 1/2 mile from the sea and all the Beaches around Bournemouth are decent sand and not like Brighton, the beach made of stones.
But I haven't been down the beach for months.
Same with the " new Forest" that's only 10-15 mins but we have all this beauty but hardly go.
This guy sometimes I mean WTF " I never knew Britain had Beaches.
Highcliffe, Southbourne and Sandbanks has some great sandy Beaches.
Thing is Brits unlike Americans have passports and travel.
You want besides you only have to go to Croatia and the Island coast and it's like the Carribbean but only 3 hours.
Now people will see why Americans stuck at geography and overall are the worst nation at knowing where places are 😂😉🤔
From my experience, most of Britain's beaches are sandy, but foreign tourists tend not to stray far enough away from London to see them.
As a Brit some places not on there but worth a mention are Bath - the architecture is beautiful there and they have the Roman baths, the Peak District - a wonderful, unique scenic area, the Cotswolds - also a beautiful scenic area and home to some old villages and Cannock Chase - again a beautiful, natural area.
Yes! The traditional villages were definitely a big omission. I'd also add the Shropshire Hills, Anglesey and maybe somewhere in Yorkshire.
I went to Bath last year and it's a fascinating place,apart from the baths I'd recommend going with a tour guide,ours was really knowledgeable and took as all round the city
@@davidmellish3295if you so go, head to Batheastern for a walk up the hill to little solsbury hill. Can see for miles. And Victoria park rather then the parade gardens, the former has a great adventure park for kids.
@@airedale1913carding mill is incredible
Cannock Chase was my go-to family outing during my Staffordshire childhood. Best-kept secret of the Midlands.
I recommend visiting medieval Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland, set among the sand dunes on a gorgeous beach by the North Sea.
I'm always trying to get my family to go to Northumberland my late husband and I went there some time ago and loved it
Uhtred appoves
I'm always so torn when tourists discover Northumberland! 😅 It's my home and I swear it's the only place I'd want to live, but I want to keep the secret so it doesn't change! ❤
@@FoldingFlowerssame here. I avoid Bamburgh like the plague in the summer because it's so busy even though it's really close to my home.
@tenniskinsella7768 it's bloody great up here
I love seeing people’s reaction and hearing positive experiences of people from outside the UK when they come over and see some of the sights we have here. There’s SO much beauty in Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. It’s a stunning place we have here. You should see some for the beaches here in Scotland. They’re AMAZING. 🤩
As someone who lives in Brighton, I can tell you it definitely doesn't look like somewhere in the Mediterranean 😂The beaches are pebbles rather than sand.
That being said, this contributes to the best thing about Brighton, the nightlife. During the summer, people will sit on the beach drinking all day, then, because of the lack of sand and need to shower after going, head straight to the bars. The vibe hits different.
It is an amazing city and there's a lot of good things to see. I love living here and would recommend it for anyone in their 20's or 30's.
You forgot to mention all the regency buildings.
The reason these areas have not been developed commercially is that they are National Parks and areas of natural beauty. I assume it is the same with your National Parks. Great reaction by the way, No whoop whoops, no Awesome and no baseball cap. 10/10
Also the National Trust owns large areas of coastland.
Actually flamingo land has been trying for years to build a resort in Scotland I hope it never happens.
And no mention of how `cute` our castles are.
Hate that word cute, so patronising.
There are hundreds and hundreds of small villages and towns in the UK that are works of art, you can't knock things down in the UK, if it's a listed building, you can buy it but you have to keep it and maintain it as it has been throughout history.. Great vid btw, shine on sunshine!
Sadly a lot of listed buildings just get left to rot until they can knock em down

I love how the person reacting really was enhanced by what there is in Britain. Britain have an extremely rich history and I'm sure that every one of the 69 million Brits can name 10 beautiful places within 40 miles of their home, Britain is normally thought of the cities like London and many tourists only visit London but there's so many more things to do and to see!
What a fantastic celebration of our amazing home! The UK is the most beautiful place ever and this video proves it, you could do video after video of the amazing and beautiful places we have ❤
Scotland in the autumn is just breathtaking. Orange leaves and nae midgies. The beaches up in Harris look like they belong in the Seychelles.
Yup, could add the Hebrides to his list too huh; we loved Arbroath beach; Aviemore?! Caledonian Canal?!
The Outer Hebrides are absolutely stunning. We go once or twice a year from England.
the one place he didn't go to was the beautiful county of Northumberland. castles sandy beaches and towns with history going back to the early 900s . Lindisfarne where the Saints lived and died is just one of the magical places . the Romans came ,saw and built a magnificent wall as well as forts that the out lines can still be seen.
Shhhh... don't tell or we'll be inundated with visitors ! We don't want to become Cornwall 😄😁
@@annicecooper8105🤣😂 I agree. I'm a southerner by birth but have lived in Northumberland for 40 years. The beaches here are stunning and I'm actually grateful we don't get really hot weather or we'd be inundated. Plus I don't handle heat well.
@@annicecooper8105exactly why are all these people giving the game up! 😂 we need to keep the secret, the A1 north of morpeth can hardly handle the tourists we do get! 😅
Northumberland is gorgeous ❤
I've been lucky enough to see an awful lot of the world, traveling with my previous career and I've lived in Australia and in Nth Cyprus , but, Northumberland is,I have to say,my favourite place on the planet . Simply stunning (and the people of the NE are extra special 💕)
If ever you come to London, visit Kingston upon Thames in the summer time. You'll be stunned by the beauty of the Thames and the area. Also, the city of Oxford, the old roman ruins in the town of St. Albans in Hertfordshire is lovely.
Loved watching your reactions to my beautiful country! Thanks!

Admittedly I've only seen them on film, but most of those places look hideous.
Yes they are big and grand but no greenery, nothing to lift the spirit. They dwarf humanity rather than uplift.
Without the modern world, those places kill you.

My husband took me on a day trip from the East Midlands to The Great Orme, which was really great and I was amazed by how many castles we passed along the way just in Wales. But sadly, I've not spent any time at all in Central Wales yet, but my favorite places so far, as an American living in England have been in Southern Wales. Most notably so far have been Pembrokeshire & the castle there, the Brecon Beacons, Abergavenny, Abertillery & Monmouthshire were all so amazing.
I do want to go back to North Wales for a proper visit. Do you have any suggestions for me to visit in particular, please? And, where in Northern Wales are you calling 'Mysterious'? I would very much like to go back and see much more 😃

Watching him react to the lake district is so wholesome
You made me smile, having lived or visited most areas in the uk, we do have an absolutely beautiful island and it’s so green because we have so much rain but when the sunshines we all love it so much!
The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi were filmed on the Skellig Islands.
It's the place Luke Skywalker seeks refuge 🙂
The Dark Hedges featured in Game of Thrones.
FYI, the Scilly Isles are pronounced "Silly" and not "Skilly" Isles.
The Lake District features in a few films, too: Such as Cathedral Cavern in Snow White and the Huntsman, and some of the lakes (Derwentwater and Thirlmere) in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (th-cam.com/video/wGieq00_yfE/w-d-xo.html).
St Michaels Mount was featured in GoTs spin off House of the Dragon.
@@debbee0867 I didn't watch the spin off, so good to know 🙂
Yes we pronounce the Skilly isles, silly isles (probably a silent "k")
@@chilledoutpaul a silent 'c' even.
Some beaches might look like the south of France or the Mediterranean maybe but the unpredictable weather means that regardless of the time of year you can't really plan a holiday to the UK for a day on the beach like you can elsewhere. The whole of the UK flocks to the beaches when the weather reports claim a sunny weekend.

You have the perfect voice for this. Scratch that: you have the perfect voice. Very pleasant, comforting and somnolent.
As beautiful as New Zealand is, I absolutely agree that LOTR could have been filmed in the UK as we have a lot of absolutely stunning scenery fit for Middle Earth. Tolkien was an English man himself after all, and would mostly have based his locations on places here.
Yeh, if I recall correctly, the mountainous terrain of Wales served as the inspiration for Middle Earth.
@@leeturner8023definitely for some parts of it
But NZ made it 'other worldly'. Perfect.
There is the place in Avesbury, ‘The Whispering Trees’ that gave Tolstoy the idea for some of the book. I’ve been and it’s so impressive
You are actually correct, Infact if you look down the history of huge hollywood films historical buildings are always filmed in the UK, Lets say for example Mr waynes mansion in batman, All the filming is in the USA apart from when the scenes at Mr waynes mansion which is a beautiful castle set in a hill in nottingham.
You're refreshing.
I love your reactions to how beautiful the uk is and its history.
This is the best and most tasteful 'reaction', or regular tourist, vid regarding the UK that I've seen for a good while; normally they are done by utter 'air heads'.

I found the further south and west you go in Ireland it becomes more rugged and beautiful.
I’m glad you find my country beautiful. It truly is a magical place to live.
I live in the Scottish Highlands and (winter weather aside) it's one of the world's unspoiled landscapes. It's remote in places and theres no signal for miles but who cares. The majestic peaks of the Western Highlands and Islands, the Big Tree Country and forest covered mountains of Highland Perthshire and some of the best beaches anywhere in the world (see above disclaimer about winter...).
Take 2 weeks out and tour our spectacular country. Its only about the size of Virginia but with half the population (and they all live in the central belt!). The Highlands is mostly empty. Just bring waterproof clothes.... We invented many things. I'm convinced rain was one of them.
And midges...😂
I've heard quite a few people say they never connected Britain and beaches as if it isn't an island paha XD
New to your channel but been loving your reactions so subbed :) keep up the good work :)
It’s really lovely to see someone appreciate all these places for the first time! ❤
Hi, this vid was recommend so i watched and now I've subbed. Your reaction was great and i loved how you were awe inspired at the beauty of our country. Great vid mate 👍
What are you talking about we are an island and you thought we didn't have Beaches?
Just shows how ignorant, uneducated and arrogant some Americans are. As you say an island it’s in the title around the British Isles
It's unbelievable how many people think that lol🇬🇧
Lol
😂
We don't have beaches we have beautiful beaches
Those hexagonal rocks of the Giant's Causeway are made of basalt and are formed from volcanic eruptions.
There are many examples of those rrock formations all around the world including Scotland, Australia and America too.
Big Ben is actually the name of the largest bell in the tower, and the tower itself used to be called St Stephen's Tower, but in 2012 it was renamed Elizabeth Tower, in honour of our late Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee.. that celebrated her 60 years as our Queen.
The "Durdle Door" limestone arch looks like a dragon drinking water if viewed from the seaward side.❤
It's a miracle that this guy managed to get to all these locations in beautiful weather, and it only took him 8 years to do it lol
Thankyou for loving the British Isles... we need it.
I'm English, but my favourite part of the UK is the Elan Valley in mid Wales. The dams and lakes are stunning.
I hundred percent agree i live in mid wales and it’s my favourite place to be
I love the Elan Valley! Beautiful. Proud Scot, but I do love Welsh scenery. :0)
It's a shame the video didn't take in more of Wales, Snowdonia is beautiful but just a drop in the bucket. Personally Portmeirion is in my worldwide top 10.
ALL of us, Sassenachs, Scots, Welsh, Irish, Cornish and Ulstermen, all feel we are independent people, but live together on our Islands. It takes all of us to protect our Islands from encroachment.
What's the difference between Ulstermen and Irishmen?
Irish are the majority in Ulster, Munster, Leinster, Connacht.
@@bluechip297 Read some history, bro. Orangemen are the 'Scots/English' in Ulster.
Your that person trying to start a fight .
@@janice506 Ha ha! Well, the Brits have fought every other buggar on the planet. Why not you as well? 😀
"Ulstermen ARE Irish.
One area that is absolutely lovely is the Yorkshire Dales (Absolutely no bias whatsoever). It's such a great piece of countryside, and holds places such as the Limestone Pavement, a large cliff of limestone with holes and trenches due to erosion over centuries.
Truly one of the many things that makes me proud to be from Yorkshire
Strang how south Yorkshire always gets over looked not only by overseas visitors but by Brits as well I was born and brought up in the center of the Yorkshire coal field and could fined you twenty five places to match these within an hour of Doncaster or Barnsley Another proud Tyke
Absolutely, James. Yorkshire may not have the mountains but there's something about the landscapes as a whole. Beautiful county.
Proud of that cliff, huh?😅😅
As an Englishman, it was so cool seeing how surprised and full of awe you were about the British Isles.
and yet you didn't notice the glaring obvious fact that Ireland & Northen Ireland aren't part of the British Isles !
@@BoomsRiddico4868 I noticed the stunning places in the British Isles and made my comment on that. I didn’t realise I had to point out his error in geography 😉
@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures i just pointed out how you didn’t notice the obvious error in the subject matter
the monks left Skellig Island because Luke Skywalker moved in and they couldn't put up with it as they were huge fans of the original trilogy
Not a british isle.
Not a mention of northern England Lancashire/Yorkshire/Northumberland all missing, oh well, we can keep these for ourselves.
It’s always the way with these sorts of lists. They get all the countries on the list but seem to forget that England extends beyond the south. The quintessential image of England with thatched cottages and rolling hills isn’t the England I identify with, that’s the moors and mills of the north!
@@ams1897We do have thatched houses in the north too 👍
Yes, don't come to Northumberland. No history, beaches or castles. You will be bored stiff!
@@Ionabrodie69 Didn`t say we don`t, but it hasn`t ever really been the architectural style of this part of the country. The point I`m making is that the quintessence of England is heavily skewed towards the South, more specifically the South East. Hard to argue with that.
As a North Yorkshire lass, how can you not show York?! Sure York Minster, the Viking history? Or the golden coast of Scarborough, Whitby, up to beautiful Northumberland? It’s ok, we’ll keep it all for ourselves😂✌️🇬🇧
What a brilliant video, I really enjoyed watching that! I walked the length of Great Britain several years ago, and I was totally astounded by the beauty of our wonderful little island. I've hardly been abroad since, all of my most recent adventures have been exploring the British Isles.
I’m Welsh and the country I live in is WALES not WELLS! It’s a beautiful country, often sadly overlooked.
His pronunciation annoyed me so much! Also, citing the whole of Wales as a top 25 pick is ridiculous.
@@Amy-eo4md exactly what about the Brecon Beacons, Portmeirion, The Gower Peninsula, our many Reservoirs (often created by flooding towns or villages to provide water to England), our many Mountains (including Snowdonia) and our stunning beaches to name a few!
Glad I read your comment first, I won’t bother watching now. ☺️
To answer your question about Northern Irish / Irish border...After the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, all checkpoints were gradually removed with the last being dismantled in 2006, and now you hardly notice when you go over the border except that the signs & road markings change. A completely open border is a critical part of the peace process, and was the reason why Northern Ireland was so often at the centre of the Brexit negotiations.
before internment, there were no border posts either. you notice the prices are in euros, before they were irish punts,
As the Republic of Ireland is in the European Union kilometers are used. Northern Ireland uses miles.
@@georgesibley7152.Sterling in Northern Ireland
@@brianferris8668 I know I i was referring to the fact that when crosses from Northern Ireland to Eire the main difference you see are the prices are in euros (and the signposts have garlic).
We to not speak 'garlic or gaelic in Ireland...the language is IRISH. They speak gaelic in Scotland. The level of ignorance is astounding.
Proud to be British ... Proud to call this beautiful country my homeland
and yet you didn't notice the glaring obvious fact that Ireland & Northen Ireland aren't part of the British Isles !
The Skellig in Ireland was where Star Wars episode 8 was filmed with Luke and Rey.
Take a shot every time he says wow 😂
Lovely places here in the u.k. look into our ancient cathedrals especially canterbury , yorkminster and Westminster Abbey . Your jaw will drop they are stunning inside and out . 😊
Canterbury Cathedral is just awe-inspiring - how the heck did they build it?!
Been to lake district beautiful place to go Philip from Newcastle England 🏴
Im glad we all live in close proximity and within cities!
It keeps the beautiful picturesque countryside looking good 👍
The Lake District is a stunning place and a perfect location for those that love to hike. It’s where I spend most of my hiking days with it being quite local to my neck of the woods. Definitely a place to visit 👍🏼
My favourite place on earth
Lived in Scotland all my life, and I've only been abroad once. I don't feel the need because I can find so many beautiful new places in my homeland 🏴🏴🏴
Travelled up to Scotland for the first time about 6 yrs ago and not stopped since so beautiful and great people 😊
@@jacquiburrows2120 yeah, most of us are nice lol.. and most of Scotland is amazing, especially around the lochs and mountains.
@Shroomanoidz omg the lochs and Highlands blew my mind we travelled up in a motorhome and because wild camping is allowed in Scotland we stayed in the most amazing places
@@jacquiburrows2120 yeah, the right to roam law is amazing. We can go anywhere we like, and that's how it should be. I used to stay in a town called Dumbarton, and there is crags and hill walks there that are absolutely beautiful. I used to go running up the hills when I was younger, and there are some breathtaking views up there. The lochs are great. And loch Lomond is not far from Dumbarton too. I loved staying there. I live in Edinburgh now.
I have visited Scotland a few times l love Fort William Glasgow stirling scone loch lomond and the trossachs.
Really lovely to hear this appreciation of the British Isles. However, there is so much that was missed out. Cornwall has many amazing beaches. Pedn Vounder, Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, St Ives, Fistral Beach, Tintagel, padstow, Lizard Peninsula, Perranporth. There's Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset. Glastonbury. Stonehenge, Avebury, New Forest and so much more. Hope you get to visit us soon.
Proud Cornishman here. I concur with you, but let’s not tell too many people eh! 😊

I used to love Cornish beaches. Went there almost every year as a kid and adult.
Then we went to the Outer Hebrides and the beaches are next level. Colder, but next level.
I live about 5 minutes from the Seven Sisters and it truly is stunning! especially in the summer
We visited Cornwall last year and got to say, so far it's our favourite place in Britain! 💙 We will definetly be going back there again!
If you want beaches and warm weather I recommend Cornwall. It's beautiful and warmer than the rest of Britain. If you like history I would recommend going to York. The Roman wall is still standing surrounding the town.
Like Canterbury
And Chester town centre with its city walls that you can walk along. It’s still pretty there too and has the Tudor and Roman style. Very picturesque.
Or Hadrians wall !
If you want history further back, heres a site in Wiltshire. If you go to Avebury, a little walk out and there is a Long borrow from 3650 BC which you can litterally enter
I burnt my feet on in the summer on Newquay beach as a child. I thought I was in a different country.
As a Brit I lived in California for only two months but managed to see a few states. I lived in Canada for ten years. But I had to come home. We maybe small but we sure are beautiful and full of things to do. Beaches and mountains in easy reach. History and all manor of wonderful things to do. Proud to be born and breed here. 😊
I’ve done seven years in Canada, it is beautiful but I look forward to the day I go home to Great Britain
@@jeantillotson4091 Don’t get me wrong I truly loved the USA and I will always love Canada I have family there. I’m going back next year for a few months. But, just can’t give up the U.K. maybe when I retire I’ll change my mind again 😂😂😂
I live in the UK and have visited many of these place, but seeing your reaction makes me realise I need to get out and see more!
Cotswolds, outer Hebrides and the elan valley are honourable mentions
I live on the Norfolk coast so beautiful and So many beeches to visit! Natural and and the wild life is unbelievable.
Holidayed there for the 2nd year running around Cromer, such a beautiful area. Even saw a seal this year which thrilled the kids.
@@cafe405 Oh you missed going to Horsey (not far from Cromer) the beaches there are filled with seals.
Go on the internet and put in Horsey Seals, and perhaps if go back that way you could give the family treat!
Welsh girl here. I live about 3 miles from the coast, in a valley surrounded by mountains...and it always rains! We're very lucky to have such a beautiful country, and we're used to the rain.
It doesn't always rain! Occasionally, it snows!
Very fortunate to have lived, visited, hiked through or holidayed in many of the places featured ( and many not) in this film. On a perfect English Summer or Autumn day, the beauty of our countryside, coastlines, villages, towns, cities, cliffs, beaches, mountains and lakes is undeniable.
The West Highlands and the Isles are simply stunning and motorcycling heaven ❤
