Whenever I feel overwhelmed by the hustle of my city, I jump in the car and visit somewhere like this. Weather I seek out a castle, an historic house or just the English countryside. It does absolute wonders for my mind, and I always learn something new about our history ❤
Thanks for sharing! 😊 we do the same.
Im so envious! I live in Boston USA, and while I try to make at least 4 trips over to England per year to enjoy the wonder of your countryside, I wish I could see it more often. Maybe I’ll move there someday! ❤
Thank you for reminding me of the time I once spent in Tetbury!
Invited by a "pen friend " I had been writing to for a few years! This was in the 70's, when pupils at school were encouraged to write to "an unknown person" and develop a friendship via letters sent in the post!!
Glad we stirred the memories. Do still keep in touch with your pen pal?
Absolutely beautiful Cotswolds again what a lovely place, thankyou
😊
I would definitely need to stop for a sherry or a cider at a Pub called The Snooty Fox, lol. How exciting that His Majesty has a shop there; I do like hearing about his interest in sustainability, historic preservation, gardening, climate change, etc. An Anglophile who grew up in California, these issues are important to me as well, on both sides of the Pond. I've heard Bunny Guinness talk about some of the fascinating work she did at Highgrove. A blend of tradition and modern ideas (though some of those actually go way back) can produce incredible results. A charming town indeed. I love the Market Hall with the thick columns; such a great idea. Cheers!
So glad you enjoyed it. The pub did look enticing but 10am was little early for a tipple! 😂😂😊
Great start to my Saturday. What a blessing you two are to this old lady. Can’t say how much I enjoy and look forward to your videos each week. Hugs and blessings. Oh great job as usual.
...And to this old lady as well. I couldn't have said it better!
Hi ladies! Me too! 🇨🇦
Thank you as always Joen, we are so pleased to be able to share them for your enjoyment 😊
I love Tetbury so much I am a Gloucestershire born man who hates where he has to live shity Tavistock Devon my goodness they're very rude and unfriendly and all Devon people hate outsiders fantastic and lovely video made me cry because I missing my home
I have only just discovered your channel. I am in Australia and unfortunately I will not be able to travel due to illness. I have always longed to travel and see the beautiful countryside and wonderful history of England. Thank you for bringing it to me. I also love how you present every town and village in just enough detail, whilst throwing in lots of surprises you don't even get on high budget doc's. Excellent work, please keep them coming. Warmest regards.
Hello and welcome to the channel, lots for you to catch up on. Thank you for the kind comment, I hope you enjoy our other videos.
So lovely to see the little town where I was born 70 years ago, especially now that I live so far away on the remote Pacific Northwest coast of the USA. My parents left in 1957 and took our family to America. I miss my British heritage and appreciate seeing our village. Thank you!
Ah how lovely for you to see it again. So pleased we could share it with you. Has it changed much?
@@MemorySeekers the old part of the town is as I remember and also in many of my old photos. I lived on Romney Road in a council house. I looked on Google earth and it was still the same, but more tree growth and painted buildings now. Lovely to visit via your channel. I'm going to suggest it to my older sister. I know she will also enjoy it!
Wonderful! Another glorious piece of England!
😊
@@MemorySeekers I had the pleasure of staying at the Snooty Fox some years ago, and it was delightful, with comfy beds, ambience, and delicious food!
@@johnlunnun9769 certainly looks like a lovely place to stay. I did not realise they had rooms as well!
Another excellent video of a truly beautiful location. Thank you!
Our pleasure Jim 😊
Wow! Beautiful village Great video thanks for sharing 👍.
Thanks for visiting
What a stunning place!!!Far from the madding crowd...
❤❤❤❤❤
Your tours are the best of all the other TH-camrs because you d9 not rabbit on nor do you stay totally silent - just enough interesting statements made to enhance the enjoyment of the viewer. Thank you 👍
Thank you for your kind words 😊
So beautiful, historic and charming ❤
Indeed!
Nicely filmed. Thanks for taking us with you on a sunny day with a blue sky 👍🙏
Thanks for watching
Once again, Thank You Simon and Wills!!! This past week when grades were due and the weather was yucky, I was watching this video [repeatedly] and other videos in your library to cheer me up. As a matter of fact, I believe I survived the Winter and ALL the crazy politics of the NYCDOE at work because of your videos and the fact it practically did NOT snow this year here in NYC. Especially the ones you filmed in the Summer months. My apt helped by being too hot so when I'm watching you guys walk around in teeshirts and shorts it's as hot in here as when you're both walking around. 🤣🤣🤣 PS my list grows ever longer!!! I don't think I can afford to retire!!!
Non ho parole giuste per spiegare la bellezza di questo villaggio 🙂. Semplicemente meraviglioso 😍. Thank you 👋👋👋
Sono così felice che ti sia piaciuto. Una città meravigliosa!
Another town to add to my MemorySeekers” bucket list. 😊
😊
What a lovely town. I especially enjoyed listening to the sounds (without music). Thanks.
Another impossibly beautiful video of the Cotswolds. Amazing to see what is now a hotel built during the reign of Henry VIII! I noticed, towards the end, what looks like an Australian Indigenous flag featured outside one of the buildings (a gallery?), something I did not expect to see in Tetbury!
I found the gallery website www.baygalleryhome.com/
Bay Gallery Home has represented artists from communities of the Northern Territory, Australia since 2008. We are the only dedicated Aboriginal gallery in the UK, and are proud to present this compelling and sophisticated body of work.
thank you for this. It's all just lovely! And it's so nice to see a place that isn't buried under 4 feet of snow, as we currently are...
Well there might have been some snow recently but not that much. This was filmed last summer when it was very hot.
@@MemorySeekers lol I figured! I am in Canada however, and we just had a huge snowstorm yesterday, on top of all the extant snow. So I just meant it was lovely to see another vista than the one where I am. Thanks for the reply, and the awesome video!
Love to see the Cotswolds highlight.
We have quite a few in the channel. 😊
How splendid 👌 Cotswold is very special with its amazing beauty & fantastic landscape, Churches ⛪, history, peace & most adorable architecture... your videos are so worth watching that definitely one can feel so relaxing & happy as i always experience 😊 thank u for sharing & letting us travel with you both.. take care & waiting for more wonderful videos ahead
Thank you Harsha 😊
Thanks again ,👍🏻⚘Greeting
Thank you! Cheers!
This was wonderful! I definitely have Tetbury on our list . Of course the shopping looks great with a Highgrove Shop included. Pretty town! Thank you so much!
😊
What a peaceful & idyllic village. Another awesome video! Love you guys🙂
Thank you so much!
It's a town
Gratamente sorprendendida con esta bellísima ciudad inglesa donde parece que se ha detenido el tiempo. También parece sacada de las páginas de un cuento. Son hermosas sus calles, sus casas, sus construcciones medievales y georgianas. Es maravilloso que tenga tanta naturaleza a su alrededor: enredaderas y flores cuelgan de los muros de las casas. Las tiendas de antigüedades son muy interesantes y concuerdan con ese sutil aire del pasado que es tan grato. A ojo cerrado iría a esta bien ciudad la que parece ser muy querida por sus habitantes porque se nota que han luchado por conservarla y preservarla para el disfrute de las generaciones generaciones futuras y como una muestra para el mundo 🌎 del patrimonio de la histórica y vieja Inglaterra. Aparte de conocerla, me gustaría vivir en tan encantador y apacible lugar. Saludos desde Colombia
Gracias por el comentario encantador y sus pensamientos. Los Cotswolds son un lugar muy popular para visitar y esta ciudad puede estar muy ocupada en los meses de verano con los visitantes. Si puedes lidiar con eso, entonces sí, sería un hermoso lugar para vivir.
@@MemorySeekers Solo dije la verdad y lo que siento. Muchas gracias por tener la deferencia de contestar a mi comentario 🙂
It’s snowing here in Vermont. So I really enjoy this walk through Tetbury! Thank you for taking us to this absolutely delightful Village! I really appreciated you’re telling us about the history and culture as well! Love from snowy Vermont❄️☃️
Keep warm! So glad you liked the walk around on a very hot sunday last summer.
I’ve been to Tetbury twice on a Mad Max tour out of Bath. So pretty, but I did not realize how old the buildings are. Would love to spend more time there. Your walk and talk was wonderful! I’m from Maryland, USA.
What is a mad max tour? 😊
@@MemorySeekers a company that does small bus day tours out of Bath. You can look up their website.
Thanks for this amazing video, i can feel the joy of walking in this amazing village 😍
Lovely video, thanks. When doing family history research, we discovered that my Great-Grandparents Sarah Walker and William Clark were married in Tetbury in 1877. We subsequently found an early photo of them taken by a local photographer James Clark (no relation as far as we know). Sarah was born and brought up in nearby Oldbury on the Hill, but William came from Hertfordshire where his father was a policeman.
It’s amazing what you can find out about your family if you do so digging. Very interesting 😊
Another great episode walking through another beautiful hisotic place.
Another video of beautiful England, another place for me to spend a little time in when I next visit England. I am intrigued by the aboriginal flag hanging outside the shop at the end of the video as I am an Aussie, do you know the story behind this? Please keep posting these fantastic videos, than you from down under 😃

@@MemorySeekers Thank you for taking the time to look into the background behind the flag, I will definitely visit next time I am in England, hopefully later this year. In the meantime I will continue watching, & liking, your most informative & entertaining videos. Your efforts are appreciated.
Hermosa ciudad !! 👏👏 Gracias por compartir el video, es muy lindo y con datos muy interesantes !! 🤓
Felicitaciones !! 😊
Very pretty… thank you❤️👏👏👏👏👏
😊
Thanks again for taking us on a tour of another beautiful village. I'm looking forward to your next adventure.
😊
Da kann man gar nicht aufhören zu wundern. Es weckt sofort die Reiselust. Es ist alles so wunderbar. Danke!!!! für dieses Video 👋👍
Ich hoffe, es weckt in Ihnen den Wunsch, diese Orte zu besuchen. Wir lieben es, herumzureisen und die Welt zu sehen!
Such a quaint village. The well manicured landscaping added to its charm & appeal. I’d always heard of the Cotswold but is the first I’ve seen any of it. As always, u do an amazing job of showing us each place while educating us on its historical importance. The wool sack race along w/ fair, food & fun things sounds like a great time for all. Thank u for taking the time to share ur journeys w/ us. I can’t tell u enough how much I appreciate the voice overs telling what we’re seeing along w/ it’s history as opposed to just Willy hilly walking around. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed 😉🥰!!
Thank you so glad you enjoy the videos 😊
What a lovely place.Always great videos done to perfection.Grateful that you are able to travel and share with others your journeys.Clearly you are adding so much joy to others lives with such inspiration. Your fans from America
Thank you so much Tricia, we hope we are inspiring others to get to these places and enjoy them as much as we do 😊
Luv visiting with you these beautiful places
Thank you so much 🙂
Wonderful picture esk villages...only thing spoiling them all are bloody cars....thanks guy's for sharing
I know the cars are a problem but that is modern life I guess.
Excellent video thanks guys
Our pleasure!
Thank you for all the great video's. We always go to the UK for holidays and your suggestions are wonderful. We can't come this year, I'm insured, but watching your video's is like being there❤
What a shame you cannot come, sorry to hear that. Hopefully we will give you some more ideas for next year!
Once again a great start to my Sunday morning. What another lovely village this is. The hanging baskets look lovely against the cotswold stone. I love that you explain the names of the towns too. Cheers Cheryl
Thanks so much 😊
Another brilliant video❤You truly do know your production skills, with excellent, well informed research of the towns & villages you visit. As an avid anglophile, I appreciate these videos most deeply! Thank you both❤❤
Thank you very much!
Beautiful historical place
Thanks for visiting
Was that the Aussie Aboriginal flag I saw at the end? So many beautiful flowers in hanging baskets.
Yes it was. I saw it too. We don’t have a day to celebrate Aboriginal people so maybe the shop sells Aboriginal art?

I am always excited to see your nnotifications pop up and I look forward to your postings very much. These beautiful towns are such a joy and I feel fortunate to be able to "visit" them along with you both. Thank you. If I had one comment to make is that the overhead powerlines spoiled the pristine and rather perfect images - I am being super critical I know but it reminded me of the visiting Santorini in Greece where the stunning view to the caldera is overshaddowed somewhat by ugly powerlines strung up like spaghetti. But, we all need electricity, just wish the power lines were under ground. xx
I am guessing the houses are protected as they were there long before electricity, so disturbing them and the areas around them is not allowed or cost prohibitive to dig up the roads? It does detract as do the cars but not much else you can do, modern life moves on. At least the houses survive! 😊
Greart tour.
Thanks
Just beautiful, we will be staying in the Cotswolds next year. My 1st thought was to watch your videos for information and gorgeous footage! Thank you.
😊
This video is excellent.. put together really well 👍👍
Thank you very much!
awesome video !!...so much history ..in Canada we dont have any thing like this ..forgot this village was go close to highgrove
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a lovely tour, thankyou. You showed us a few important signs but not long enough for us to read them. Could you please take a little longer so we can see them properly?
Thanks we will bear it in mind, I guess people read things at a different pace as I though we were lingering long enough. You can of course pause the video at that points. 😊
What is so incredible about these amazing villages is that they have kept the chain stores out. Whether the inhabitants shop elsewhere or a corner store I don't know but it's great visiting a refreshing place with no hustle and bustle.
Chain stores prefer to go to the major towns, that way they serve all the smaller towns and villages around. Most villages would have the basic corner store type shop and a bakery, hairdresser maybe, small towns would have a local supermarket etc but mostly you go to the major towns for large shopping needs. It is the same here in rural Australia.
Love your channel, the narrative and photos. ;)
Thank you very much! 😊
This is a lovely video and I wished I had seen it before I visited Tetbury last year. I haven’t got my own transport so my daughter took to see the town. I have got special rail staff passes but as you mentioned Tetbury was one of many stations axed by Beeching in the 1960s, better bus services were promised but sadly it didn’t happen in many of the places that lost their station. I would like to have seen the former station area. I was very pleased to see the Chipping steps. I think you said that you took the video early in the day, that was a good idea because we visited on an afternoon and the traffic can be heavy, the roads are very difficult to cross in the late afternoon. Gloucestershire is very rich in pretty towns and having traveled to every English county, I think it is one the most beautiful counties
Wow - very impressed that you have been able to visit every English County, we have lots more to explore yet
👍
😊
I m going there soon 😊
Enjoy!
Amazing!! I always wanted to see this village. I am thinking I have to rent a car when I work back in England this summer. You guys did an amazing job with this video!! I just wish the automatic cars are cheaper to rent. I get nervous to try manuals. 95 percent plus North American drivers drive automatic. They are trying to get rid of manuals because they want both hands on the wheel. This was a great video. Thank you!!
I see that a lot all over the world don’t really understand why the have to charge more for an automatic?
Another beautiful Cotswalds market town. What’s not to love? When you showed the Close Hotel and state it was built in the time of King Henry VIII it’s truly mind blowing. You can really see the different types of architecture. Would be great to have a peek inside some of the homes. Another top quality video. Thanks again Will and Simon ❤
Yes it would be interesting to be able to see inside but I wonder if many have been modernised so you don’t have the feel of the past.
@@MemorySeekers true enough. It’s still great to know the history that took place there. 👻😉
Another fantastic, enjoyable video with impeccable videography! All of your videos are so very special in so many ways. They are stress reducers, calming, and relaxing. They are also enchanting, fun, and exciting. When I tour these towns with you, I just smile and smile and smile! Everywhere "we" go is so breathtaking, so pleasant and serene; and full of history.
Til the next time.....
Thank you so much for the lovely heartfelt comment 😊☺️
Excellent !
I like your videos. Wish you would of been later in the day so you could show us inside the stores especially King Charles III shop. Have a great day.
Yes I know some people like to see inside, we prefer to look at the architecture and are not really shoppers. Coming earlier also means we avoid getting thousands of people in the shots and you then can’t really see the building and streets etc. it’s a hard balance to hit.
Very charming journey. I like your this effort. Plz. carry on.
Thank you
Enjoyed the video so much. @!@!!!
😊
Plz travel Yorkshire extensively and upload 🙏🏼😇 i love all your videos, so informative and picturesque
Thank you Will and Simon for showing us around Tetbury. Lovely place just to walk around and browse those lovely shops! I would have like to seen those races, such fun! Looking forward to the next one guys!
Yes, so would we. I am sure it is great fun!
Ich bin so froh, dass ich euch hier auf TH-cam gefunden habe. Eure Videos sind so wunderschön und vor allen Dingen sehr informativ. Wie gerne würde ich noch einmal Großbritannien besuchen. Es gäbe noch so viel zu entdecken. Aber, ihr beide nehmt mich mit auf eurer Reise und dafür danke ich euch! Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland sendet euch Rosalinde!
Hallo Rosalinde, vielen Dank für den lieben Kommentar. Es ist wirklich schön zu lesen, wie viel Spaß es Ihnen macht, unseren Videos zu folgen. Ich hoffe, dass Sie es eines Tages noch einmal schaffen, uns wieder zu besuchen. Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns durch Ihr Zuschauen unterstützen. ☺

Wonderful video!
Am curious about the next one.
Very soon! 😊
Beautiful, I hope to visit London one day to visit all of these quaint towns🏘
Hope to make it over! 😊
Been there.........Mother in Law was from Tetbury......Nice town.....
Awesome footage. Enjoyed every minute of it. Going to see if I can get there for a day on my next trip to the UK.
Hope you manage to fit it in! Enjoy
Hello , very nice I know the place very well nice to see the walk around.
😊
The Wool Market building, built on pillars, has a 'clone' in teensy weensy Minchinhampton. The name is longer than Minch's main street😮! It too is on a (smaller) hill, close to an imposing church. Maybe architectural plans and outer finishes on buildings were developed as a 'bulk buy' - the Cotswold towns and villages all look the same to me! (uh-oh! I hear the pitter patter of offended Anglophiles! Sorry - no malice intended!
Mind you, Minch has a lovely little tea room, The Kitchen, which brightens up the village.
Lovely video, as always (though I was hoping for a glimpse of at least one wool yarn shop! 😉).
Now you mention it I cannot say I saw one.....I did find this one on facebook facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057201260066
@@MemorySeekers Thank you! Wherever I'm thinking of traveling, I look for yarn shops. (My husband looks for restaurants, for some strange reason... 😆)
@@amysamin 🤣
Try delivering the post up and down that hill every day.
Saves going to the gym I guess! Do you make that walk each day delivering the post?
@@MemorySeekers Fortunately I no longer do that particular round, I have a nice new estate to deliver on and it's nice and flat. (Have also done routes in Nailsworth however. All day walking uphill. that's a proper workout.)
The Two Fat Ladies visited Tetbury when they cooked for the Westonbirt School lacrosse team. They bought meat for the girls at Jesse Smith.
If you’re a visitor to England and want to explore those “picture perfect - these days Instagram” villages so beloved by movie directors then you can’t go wrong with the Cotswolds. The area is full of beautiful small towns and villages unspoilt by insensitive, cheap developments that trashed so many larger English towns/cities.
What do most people do for a living in this village?
The Australian Aboriginal flag that appears at 13.06 is a long way from home. I wonder what the story is.

@memoryseekers, apologies if someone has answered this, but do you know why there was an Australian Aboriginal flag hanging outside one of the buildings at the end of your video?
Never mind, just answered my own question😂. It’s an art gallery. Still interesting why that flag is hanging on a building in England.😮
