- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | The quintessence of charming England is the “West Country”: quaint Cotswold villages with their fine churches, manor homes, and gastropubs; Wells, England’s smallest cathedral town; and the New Age capital of Glastonbury, with its legends of the Holy Grail and King Arthur. We'll finish by pondering the dramatic prehistoric stone circles of Stonehenge and Avebury. #england #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope

Imagine growing up in a quaint English village with an ancient pub and church and little flower filled cottages. Spending days playing in meadows, chatting with good people by a fires hearth and surrounded by sounds of birdsong, leather on willow (cricket), reading under ancient oak trees!
High quality of life!
Hi Joe, I'm packed, what time you picking me up!?.....haha!! (thank you for making me smile)
Hmmm. But if you are just a farm labourer your children wont be able to lived there. Famously expensive part of the country. A bit sugary for my northern taste.
You'd grow up, find it boring and want the mad city life. Funny how we take things for granted
@@helenamcginty4920 ....but Helena, we have beautiful places up here in Yorkshire...."God's own country" & we are the largest county in England!.... :)
The English countryside is so stunning. Just like pictures in the fairytale storybook. 😍❤
England is so pretty! I love England and its culture.. the pubs, sunday roast, comedy, football, folk music, Lord of the Rings. I like the accent as well
Lord of the rings was filmed in New Zealand
@@p0neh1 i think they meant that the writer of the lord of the rings was english

It's fascinating to watch people on the internet appreciating my local area. It's easy to forget what a lovely place it is.
Lucky you.
Sometimes it takes an outsider's perspective to remind us of the things we take for granted in our everyday lives.
@@Wheelio yes totally. Like someone who's not got enough to live will appreciate ours

England in summer just looks like fairy tale Disney land and in dark rainy days turns in Gothic Vampire land !

Wow
Cloudvick we always have summer
@@bigballssteve6797 Yes but only for a day a year!

Nice
Do you know KRISTIN & JORGE ?? They are from GERMANY🇩🇪that live in ENGLAND🏴 and have a pretty well run TH-cam CHANNEL..
I love England/UK so much, I'm so glad I was raised in this beautiful country 😊.
same here
Unlike the crowded cities, these places seem to offer a unique calming environment.
I love this country so much. I am Japanese, born and raised. First time I visited England was when I was 13. I am now 43, made my dream come true to live in England and been living here for 21 years now.
I am English and love anything Japanese,
The English ppl and Japanese ppl have a lot in common
I was at college with a lot of Japanese students, they are kind and polite we all got on very well had a great time and still in touch,
wow
@Fahim Ali cup of tea and fish
Can see why so many of the great storytellers came from England. Has such a green, shady, dreamy quality to the land and towns.
It's the Shire from Lord of the Rings 😊
💯
Its not so dreamy when you've been in it forever. These towns that are beautiful upon a quick visit are in reality torture to live in - the loneliness and isolation is unbearable and we see so much fun stuff happening on the Internet but thats where it stays, only ever seen through a screen, nothing exciting or different happens in these villages. It's torture. Glad I'm moving to the US
@@manedwolfwithagmailaccount1478 You lived here?
Most of England doesn't look like that. The majority is very drab and dirty with small boxy houses, dog poo and litter everywhere, and lots of crime and antisocial behaviour.
I moved to England 2 and a half years ago. My English husband didn't appreciate its beauty as much until I moved over and we got married. We've been traveling around in England and Wales, and hopefully Scotland soon. I fell in love with UK and looking forward to explore more 😊

I didnt realise how amazing the yorkshire wolds were until i left and saw how bleak and flat most places are
England has a truely amazing and rich history and culture
I love how Europe has towns/cities that make you feel like you are traveling back in time. So beautiful, thank you for sharing.
Celita Guia Whittington right... I love that feeling.. I hope i can visit england in the future :)
Yes Celita, so rightly you have said. It is like getting back in old times. Nice & gracious buildings, roads & surrounding areas & infact everything - it brings the sweet smell of good old days we want back so desperately ! Beautiful & beautiful ! Hope to go there some day !
That is, I`ll have to admit, true - notwithstanding I`m English ( England having in recent years been ruined by unrelenting over-development ).
I remember visiting St. Augustine`s Monastery, Ramsgate, Kent in January 1983. I was woken up in the very early hours of the morning and invited to what I understand was Lauds ( Morning Prayer ).
Looking out of my window into the Monastery garden I observed that it was snowing heavily, and a thick blanket of snow weighed down on the evergreens. I heard the chanting of Monks without.
The most surprising thing to me was that the journey from my room to the Church was by way of a tunnel under the road between the Monastery Cells and the church, as I followed these black hooded Monks into Lauds. It was all so Medieval like. Then the beauty of the church within....
But then there is mainland Europe, which is altogether far more fascinating a place than England, I reckon.
In 1989 I was in the City of Valladolid, NE Spain, staying at what I think was called St. Catherine`s College. A Priest gave us a tour of the place, and led us into an old Library which some workmen had found. They also found some books ( as I suppose they would, it being a Library ). The Priest opened some of the books for us, which were all in printed form. But in many parts the printed words had been crossed out and in their place was the hand-written remarks and `corrections` of The Order of Preachers. Ie, the hand written `corrections` of The Spanish Inquisition.
It shoved history - alive and kicking- right into my face.
I wouldn`t want to live anywhere else but in Europe. This is where both the old world died and the new one was conceived.
me too, it would be so great to go there
Celita Guia Whittington you should see cuba you feel like you are living in the 1960s
I love how the British preserve their heritage, and also their beautiful trails and gardens. Such a charming country.
Well demand for wool went down cuz India had cotton. Then they went to India and destroyed and looted India and its precious jewels, spices and made slaves out of them. But ironically enough they brought English to India and now India is fast becoming a superpower.
@J. Jonah Jameson I think a mosque would look good there.
they preserve their heritage but killed other countries heritage and millions of people
sreenath nair I’m British and you’re right. And I agree with you.

I love England. I love the countryside and pub culture with its music, movies and sunday roast and sports😄 I love Tolkien and Attenborough too
Nice City
Do you Need Accounts Services , Payment Handle all over world , Transaction Handle ?
I love villages, especially the English villages. Fresh air, greenery, peace, silence all tranquility
People think malls, apartments are the way to go. But actually places like this countrysides are the home of peace.
Nice place. England. How i wish i can visit England
U r right...it's true...
Countryside in India:......
You are right, the secret of happiness lies in the simplicity of things
My brother lives in a Countryside here in England. It's nice in the summer. It's peacefull all year round but more colder in the winter than the city because there's plenty open space in "countrysides"...... In a hot country it's better all year round as long as it's safe. ✌

♡England is so beautiful, I have a nostalgic feeling coz I love the culture I blend in. Long live England♡
Hello
Respect
I think England's villages are more appealing than the city
@Darth Wheazius You're not wrong man
I'm one of the biggest London nerds ever but I do not see it as a place to live really.
Yes definitely
They are. Most British cities are shitholes
@@therealdave06 Most cities are shitholes even if they look good
One of introvert’s dream... is to be in this place.
I love to be here, away from worlds trouble
Many of the villages he visited look perfect and idyllic, but they don't look like that for no reason. Rick mentioned that you can only build out of that one type of sandstone, but that isn't the only rule. What I'm trying to say is the local bylaws, and living in a listed building, would probably drive you nuts. To live there you have to be part of the tourist attraction. I imagine it's hard to be overly private. One does not simply live in Lacock. Plus house prices are astronomical. There are places in the area that are almost as pretty where normal people can live, but house prices are still astronomical. So if you can't afford a £500k+ mortgage your choices are council house/flat (long waiting list unless you have kids), spend half your income renting, or go live in Trowbridge.
Woah beautiful city. I never been there. But I like England
*High five*
👌
It's no more introverted than living in central London. In fact,.in the countryside people are so nice strangers will even say hi to you when you cross paths with them. In London nobody has time for this nonsense. I am an introvert and I would rather live in a huge city than some boring countryside
This is exactly why we’ll be visiting the UK this coming October, from Australia 🇦🇺. So much beauty and quaint culture. ☺️
So nice London nature
October is cold in the UK. I know Australia has it’s summer in UKs winter and The UK has its summer in the Australian winter! Don’t expect the weather to be great when you come. Although, you’re welcome anytime. 🇬🇧🇦🇺
@@Kratos-005 In the many times I’ve travelled in Spring and Winter have been lucky enough with and accepting of the weather. This will be my 4th time in the UK and love every season. Thx, appreciate the concern. ☺️
@@AnneMB955 I've been twice in October, London was fine just layer jacket. Froze at Stonehenge though, lol . Have you been to Vindalanda? It's a great archaeological site still being worked on.
How is your trip to England going on ? I hope you share your experiences with us . Have a pleasant stay/visit .Safe flight
Just breathtaking. All of it: the mossy stones, the endless grass and twirling ivy; the "quaintness" of it all.

It’s a shame people only visit London, Edinburgh or maybe a handful of other cities when they go to the UK when there is much more to see
It’s ironic I never wanted to visit England. London is interesting to me as pealing potato’s. I now want to visit England.
Ended! Your memory in big cities will fade away when you watch another big city, your memory in towns lives with you forever.
Beautiful village ..l hope seen it
LIVERPOOL!
I went to school in Wiltshire American Dad mum from Whitley Bay I LOVE MY MEMORIES went back in 79-81 I Love it there!!
Many years ago(the early 80's) I got to lay down on the sacrifice stone in the middle of the circle of Stonehenge while a guide took my photo. There was no museum. Just one small guide shack back then. I pitched my tent just across the road between the two burial mounds.
I miss England so very much. This brings tears to my eyes.
Some of the best times of my life were roaming through Europe with my bicycle and backpack. I did that for nearly 25 years from the early 70's through the late 80's. After being in a bad car wreck,I am now in a power chair,so I cant do that anymore.

It looks like a place in classic story books. So beautiful, so peaceful, and so quiet. It is like a place where there is no war or natural disaster in thousands of years.
The Germans bombed England heavily during WW II.
@@richardmarkritchie8220 I know that. The German mostly bombed port cities and industrial sites.
Wish it would stay like that but unfortunately the reality is the UK is extremely high in crime and rares of antisocial behaviour which ruined many small villages too
Some of the towns remind me of Hobbiton.

West country girl here
It's definitely pretty and so much history that it's not surprising you'll go to a coffee shop only to find out that once upon a time a king danced on the table there or something
The weather isn't as bad as its made out to be, that gets worse the further north you go.
Down in the south the weather is much warmer.
I'd say the biggest downside (or upside if you like closeness) is how everything is very compact here. Our houses are fairly small and you can never truly be more then an hour away from civilisation.
My family took me to England when I was a boy and the memory is still great today 40 years later
Wow

Nexus I’m a foreigner and I love England! I had a great time in London and I would love to visit the quieter parts of this great and beautiful country sometime soon 🇬🇧💖
Can't imagine why it gets hate. I'm from the US and visited London for a few days. The people were so lovely and friendly. Anytime my friend and I looked around with a puzzled expression or looked at a map someone offered to help us. We never even had to ask. Lovely land, lovely people. As friendly as fellow Texans (Texas comes from tejas meaning friendly) any day. And the charm factor is like a fairy tale.
I'm an Indian. Every piece of history that we learn is closely connected to England and being one of her colonies, it's we who should have been angry on the English for looting our resources. But the fact is we still love the British don't know why. I studied English literature for my UG and PG, sometimes I think I'm better versed in English history or the history of Britain than any other.. It's seriously a dream to visit the English countryside
U get that hatred because your ancestors were the worst colonizers of world, similar to Hitler of Germany. So you poor people have to bear that curse life long.
Very grateful I visited West England in 1977. Fond memories of Glastonbury and Wells.

Cheers bro God bless you Im fascinated by the Spartans what mighty warriors they were.
As a British person, a Londoner, time and again, even my jaw drops at the beauty of the countryside and coast of my country. I have stayed in a very old cottage in the Cotswolds and it was beautiful. Any moment you half expected a Tudor Gent or a Regency dandy to appear around a corner. You might listen for the swish of a lady's cloak while a fire crackles in the parlour. If you dream of visiting then please do it, you will not be disapointed!!

Beautiful country wathing from Philippines 😮😮😮see you around
Great England! I love it!
This is weird, but in this horrible 2020, your show is such a comfort to me. Thank you
Agreed
Same here
I was watching him and Bob Ross every night on Create TV all of the beginning of the pandemic of early 2020, when I had no wifi. It was awesome.😌
The nostalgia from a one night in such town will never fade.
I wake up every morning thanking God that I was born an Englishman.
It’s all there in Blake’s poetry, ‘England’s green and pleasant land’. The English countryside in the summer is an absolute dream.
The good thing about England is that even if you’re a city dweller like myself, you’re never more than a 10 minute drive from the countryside.
I wouldn’t swap who I am or where I’m from for anything.
Lol
boo colonizer

He Walked On these Ancient shores AMEN.
You'd better hope after centuries of destroying lands and societies of other people across the world. Centuries of violence and depleting the resources of other nations has come to this. All that bloodshed so you pale people can drink your beer and sleep in your lodges without worry. Rubbish.
This is a great show.
It really is, I’ve been watching Rick Steves for many years. It’s my calm place
I wish I had traveled to England more often. I did make it to London and in high school we toured parliament.
I would love to go to England. Much love from Lexington Kentucky!❤️
Really🙄

The Glory,culture,traditions at its height.
Really amazing to see West England the way it is.
I am nostalgic now...
@Jahangir Bapari Although when British wool trade was at its peak I don't think we really had much of an empire, did we?

Great and inspiring video. I have half a mind to do Ireland and the UK before I go back to live in Japan as an expat. Have to go back and see my "roots." As a third-generation Canadian I can't say I'm 100% English to be sure, but I have to go off something. My great grandparents came to Canada after WWII from London. As my professor in uni put it, and I paraphrase, it's hard to get a sense of culture here in the local Walmart. But in Europe you are still in touch with the past in many places. Thanks for the travel ideas!
It's really amazing . Love from India. May be I won't be able to go there in person but at least I can see the beauty of London now . Thank you❤😊
The English have a beautiful country .They have written a lot of stories and poetry about it and spread it wherever they went.And so the people from far of lands who read about it , come to take a trip down nostalgia lane. It seems all so familiar , after all we have been brought upon it .
I agree, although people may hate the british for things they did I love their nation, history, and writers!
Awesome comments! Makes me proud!

AnSonn xtv I do agree with you as I studied Classical English literature many years ago. And this video reminds of it. I might go back to the library to read it again.
Yes Rob, having an Empire for centuries and conquering many lands, does tend to ruffle a few feathers!
