Hi Ruby 🌼 I'm a viewer from Italy and I always watch your videos even if I rarely comment. Your poetic soul always makes me reconnect with the desire to cultivate love for the little things and for literature. Your videos are a gift for the soul and they make me want to explore England and its countryside. Watching these videos motivates me a lot to create art, write, make videos and explore 💚 thanks for sharing all this ✨
Exactly, I'm Brazilian and I get a lot of inspiration watching her videos. When I finish watching I want to make some tea and read a good classic literature, haha. 😊
am Korean, we are identical. Love her so much and can't even begin to express how much I've been motivated by her. You are so amazing girl. anyhow congratulations to Ruby on getting into Oxford!
Ruby, I relate deeply to your lifestyle. I'm often teased for taking solo trips and enjoying so much of life by myself. People just don't understand it. Your videos reassure me that I have soul sisters around the world who share my interests. This is a wonderful video. I've always wanted to see the moors. Charlotte is my favourite writer of the Brontë sisters - Jane Eyre is one of the most atmospheric books ever written. Thank you for all you do. x
I just booked a trip to Paris - and I am going by myself. Nobody understands why I am not going with my boyfrieden, how I dare to visit "the city of love" on my own. I have never been there and surely want to see different things than my friends or my boyfriend would like to see. There is nothing weird for me about solo trips. And honestly... I think many people are just too scared to spend time alone or to break a "society's rule" or something.
Agreed. I sometimes feel so weird for going out and doing things by myself. I’m extremely introverted so I like being alone. When I do go out in the company of others it’s with my family.
Ruby, this is my favourite video of yours. Not only is it wonderful to see my beloved Yorkshire moors filmed so beautifully, but it is joyous to see you so free and happy. The poem you shared was so lovely, thank you. I hope you carry the feeling of being wild and alone on the moors with you when you return to daily life.
As someone who lives in West Yorkshire and not too far from Haworth and York, this was one of my favourite videos ever!! I loved seeing you appreciate what Yorkshire has to offer, it made me feel so privileged that I live among this beauty and literary culture. Thank you so much for the lovely video💕🌷
This is the coziest, most atmospheric solo travel vlog I've ever seen 😍 Yorkshire looks absolutely stunning! I definitely want to learn more about the Brontë sisters now.
Great Yorkshire tour. Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall are great to explore. Lots of vegan shops and cafes. Haworth very atmospheric. I remember walking up to High Withens with a hole in my sandshoes when I was a student. Just added to the atmosphere!
Your videos frequently remind me to slow down and appreciate the simple beauties around me in my day to day life. I am quite grateful for your videos and perspectives you’ve shared over the years. Thank you for bringing light and joy here to TH-cam 😊 hope you’re well x
Hi Ruby! Thank you for sharing your trips and adventures with us. UK has so many beautiful, inspiring landscapes, countrysides to behold. Whether in Summer or winter, if it gets warm or if it gets cold, Those places still have stories that need to be told.
I'm from the US and recently went to the UK for the first time and it was amazing. Edinburgh was my favorite place out of the ones we went to, but there's so much more to explore. Your video really inspires me to come back sooner and solo travel through some more cool towns and villages. I also enjoyed traveling by train and it was great to see the familiar LNER in your video!
Yay, I love these bookish trips! I hope you do more of them and share them with us. They’re the next best thing to going there myself. It looks like you had a wonderful time!
Hi Ruby, new subscriber here! This video is really comfy, cosy & very well made, good job! You probably won't see this, but my family is from Yorkshire, & when I went over on my OE 29 (yikes!) years ago, I really felt like I was coming home. A weird feeling, but comforting at the same time. I adored the Moors, the intensity of the winter wind blowing me over, the scrubby grasses, the tiny rocks beneath my feet, the frosty air and grey sky. The village was adorable then, & still looks it now. The Parsonage was incredible, & I still have a photo of a younger me on my fridge, standing, grinning like an idiot in front of the Bronte Parsonage, and I loved every single second of my time there. Hello from New Zealand, by the way, and massive congrats about Oxford...good work!!!! 🙂
Ruby, your video is beautiful and touching. ❤️ It got me all teared up. Wuthering Heights is my favourite novel and it is my dream to visit the place which inspired this heart-wrenching story.
I absolutely adored this video. I fell in love with Haworth and the moors when I first visited for a school trip in sixth from and have since return twice. Each time has shown me something new and I will never cease to be amazed at the raw, wild beauty of this area ❤
Dear Ruby, thank you so much for constantly uploading videos. Even though I doubt you will ever see this, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your videos. They make me so much more productive and happy. Please come to Ireland some day (especially Dublin) there are many hidden literary jewels found everywhere. Best wishes to you always, Aidi ❤
OMG! As soon as I saw the word Yorkshire I clicked on this video, I love reading and many of my favorite books have Yorkshire accents in them and they all live in cozy little towns and speak in such a way I can hardly read the dialogue! My favorite is the secret garden and the missel moor an everything and it’s the best!
Always loved the top withens. Wuthering heights has to be my favourite Brontë story, it’s just so magical that a love can continue no matter what. I especially love the poem that Kate Bush had engraved onto a stone at the top withens, due to her connection with the song she wrote.
I love your solo trips that you do! Inspiring me to just book a train ride and go exploring on my own. There's so much of the UK I still haven't seen and the sun and warmer days make so much more tempting!
Ruby, this video made me so happy and nostalgic. I studied abroad from the U.S. last year and my host university was in Leeds. But I took many a trip to the Haworth (and the moors in general) and York of course! It just filled me with joy seeing it again as well as reminded me to read Wuthering Heights again. (Also, for anyone who visits York, there is an amazing pizza place that is authentic, Neapolitan pizza. Highly recommend and the owners are so kind.) ❤
There is something about England... Its is like living in a book , it is in the atmosphere... And all that vegan food everywhere... It had always been my favorite place to come. Thanks for your videos that makes me feel like I am there again!
I don't comment often, but I must take a second to thank you. I find it hard to socialize and to meet people with interests similar to mine, and often I miss opportunities because I'm afraid to do stuff by myself. Seeing you take solo trips and have a great time is really inspiring!
Que afortunada de vivir en Inglaterra y poder viajar y visitar esos lugares tan bellos e históricos, hogar de escritores tan relevantes en la literatura, con todos los paisajes del video se siente directamente la ambientación de Cumbres Borrascosas. Maravilloso viaje y experiencia, muchas gracias😊 Ojalá pudiera tener acceso a esos lugares y casas de esos escritores😢 soy de Chile aquí lo unico para visitar es la casa de Pablo Neruda 😪
Just found the channel from your uni vids ( which I related to soo much) I have just finished uni and figuring everything out! These are the most relaxing videos I have seen. Sitting with a cup of peppermint tea 😊
When you said you didn’t know about the random boulders on the moors - it was probably glaciers! They were so huge during the last ice age they carried very large boulders then when the glaciers melted the boulders were dumped, and that’s where they’ve been since! They’re called “erratics” ☺️
I think she was on Penistone Hill. Just outside Haworth. It has several carparks and is a popular picnic area. Much of the hill has old quarries on it.
Oh God! the train looked like the one from Harry potter book part one, front cover The gentle breeze , the wide moorlands, your wild imagination coming to life. Nothing is better than travelling alone , just you and your self.
I greatly enjoyed this video and you are up in Yorkshire Dales territory, which is talked about extensively in the All Creatures Great And Small series by James Harriot. I’m loving the version of the books so far on Masterpiece. There’s a lot of humor in addition to all of the veterinary services in the book and series. It was my mom‘s favorite book series and I never thought I would get into it but it’s good.
I'm from the North of Catalonia, and I spent the last 10 days solo travelling from Lancaster to Carlisle through the Lakes, doing some literary tourism, following the paths of John Ruskin, William and Dorothy Wordworth, Samuel Coleridge, Thomas de Quincey... This kind of trips "give life to thee", and that was one of the best experiences I've ever had, especially because going solo you talk to lots of different people. I'm glad you enjoyed it too, and highly recommend visiting the Lakes!
wow - I already feel quite adventurous just from reading that!! 😅 It sounds absolutely wonderful + exciting! Also 'chapeau' for doing in on your own!! 👏🏼
Hey Ruby, I've been following ypu for so long and think you put a tremendous effort documenting your life. My question is, does it take away from the actual experience? I remember trying vlogging and realized I can't fully immerse myself and enjoy the moment, because I'm concentrating on camera angles, setting up camera to film myself walk by just to come back and pick it up..I couldn't do it in the end. How does this work for you? Maybe it's just second nature at this point. Anyway, thanks for your videos they are very enjoyable and inspiring, and it is a lot of work if you don't have an assistant.
I loved watching the BBC's "To Walk Invisible". The scene where Charlotte discovers Emily's poetry hidden in her room and reading part of "The Prisoner" over shots of Emily striding across the moors made me buy Penguin's "Emily Bronte: The Complete Poems". I'm not a big fan of poetry but these were something special. Oh and of course that heritage railway line is where "The Railway Children" was filmed.
Oh my God, how cute!!! I've never heard of this place before. Right now im suffering from the heat in the end of Brazilian summer, and this video just feels like a breath of fresh air. Imagine living in a beautiful place like this!!!! I'm counting the days until the cooler days arrive, the heat is killing me hereee. This video is very pleasing. Congratulations, this was a good job! 👏
Hi Ruby! I'm from the Philippines and I rarely comment on videos, but this, this one is so wonderful. I live in the UK now and Wuthering Heights is one of my fave classics ( I especially loved how Bronte described the moors as one would describe people, and described the characters as one would the moors, and yet it makes more sense, it's genius really ), and you inspired me to go to Haworth and do this walk, hopefully soon. I appreciate your effort in capturing the moments and sharing them to us. You are truly an incredible soul. Please do more of these bookish trips please. You are made for this!
This vlog was stunning, thank you for taking us along with you on your trip! ❤ The crows were so rowdy! 😂 Really added to the gothic atmosphere though.
I live so close to Haworth and love visiting. The views are spectacular and the walks are amazing. You should visit Saltaire next time. It’s a World Heritage Site. A short journey from Keighley is Oakworth where they filmed the original railway children.
My beloved Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Dales are where my heart and soul lie. I live abroad at the minute due to work contracts and I’m so unhappy. Nothing to do with where I live but I must return home 😢🙏🏻❤️
What an exquisite trip you experienced and thanks for taking us along! I can only imagine the ethereal connection with the Bronte sisters while walking the moors that inspired so much of their writing. I am hoping you will share the text of the poem you wrote in a later video or put it on your website; I’m sure there are others besides me that would love to read things you’ve written. Ruby, each video you post is inspiring, thank you.
YOU CAME TO KEIGHLEY!! I LIVE IN KEIGHLEY!! Sorry I got excited lol. The Yorkshire dales are so beautiful. I recommend Ilkley if you get the chance to go there :)
Thank you so much for this amazing vlog. It must have taken a while to edit. And it’s very much appreciated. I love your little solo trips, they are so inspiring. I can’t wait to watch more in the future!
Although I am a 59-year-old woman in Pennsylvania, I feel that you and I are kindred spirits. I hope to make it to Brontë country someday. Thank you for bringing me there with you in this video.
This felt so odd as the Worth Valley is where I live and I wasn't expecting to see you there! I have thouight before how much you'd enjoy Haworth, Oxenhope, Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall! Just as I was wishing you would do The Railway Children's walk or travel on the Keighley Worth Valley line, there you were. Lovely xx
This is just so comforting for my soul. As a fellow pluviophile it’s just gorgeous. Here in Australia we are in drought and in desperate need of rain. Everything is so brown and sunburnt. Smoke hangs in the air and chokes the sun turning it red. Seeing Yorkshire in the cold wet is soothing Thankyou
Hello Ruby! This documentation of your trip was absolutely phenomenal; I can’t wait to travel and see the world- even the charming little village, like you do. To be able to visit the grounds that made way for some of the best works in literature must have been more than inspiring. I’m so happy you decided to share this with us!
I'm from Yorkshire and I truly wish more of it was still like this and not just the countryside parts. Most towns are massively run down. It's sad to see the loss of history and culture in those parts. There's a beautiful square in the city I live in (in Yorkshire) that dates back to the 1700s and in the next few years it's going to be gentrified which is really sad.
I don't comment often but I always enjoy your videos. I am in Canada and watching this made me realize how badly I want to travel to another town in Nova Scotia this summer by myself. Somewhere with museums and nice views. I hope to someday visit England as well
Yorkshire is a beautiful place, especially the Dales. I am however thinking you're stalking me 😀 My son went to Exeter uni so I spent some time there, I lived near Oxford and spent ages walking around it, and I was born in West Yorkshire and spent many many weekends hiking the Dales, especially Swaledale and Wensleydale. What you got to say for yourself young lady?? lol. I was a little surprised you went to York but didn't see around the Minster which is a lovely church. I'd comment though that people really should not go walking in the Dales without a map and compass, it's amazing how fast the clouds come down to ground level and you're lost, although smart phones may make this redundant!
I enjoy your book reviews and especially the ones where you go to the places connected with the books. May I suggest one: Jenny Uglow's "A Little History of English Gardening"? So many lucious descriptions of historical or famous gardens that I will probably never get to see. Thanks for considering- from an American
Just wanted to pop on and say I'm gutted I missed you! I work at Bettys York and was in on Easter Saturday! I found your TH-cam channel at the beginning of the year and it has become my go to. I absolutely love the calming and poetic nature of your channel. Your interests are very similar to mine - reading, poetry, walking, Literature! You are such a peaceful influence and have helped me improve my routines hugely. So a big thank you, and next time you are in Bettys pop and say hi! Heather in York Shop ☺️
Dear Ruby, thank you for sharing this beautiful trip with us. I really love this travel vlog. You really captured so much beauty! Yorkshire looks absolutely beautiful! The rain and mist, the landscape with such unique form. Love the architecture, art and poetry. The sounds of all the birds! I watched this video two times to take all the beauty in. Thank you for sharing this. You are so so brave to take that walk all alone! You are an adventurer! You come alive when you are on an adventure in nature. Truly wonderful Ruby and congratulations for such lovely vlog.
I have to say, I don't usually like poetry, but your writing makes me really want to read your poetry. You sound like such a great storyteller. When you publish your book, I'll definitely be buying it. 😊 Also, for some reason, you remind me a tiny bit of the main character in Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022). I don't know why though. 😅 I really enjoyed the film too (although certain scenes were a bit 👀👀 haha). This has been on my mind for a few days and I debated whether I should tell you in case you wouldn't like the comparison, but I just felt like I had to. I also really want to visit York as well! I'm quite interested in Viking history. And finally, you've made me want to buy a Kindle and I really love your cover. 😊
R, it's not enough yr going to attend Oxford but NOW yr going to rub us Yanks noses in the fact yr in Bronteland. Don't bring up SECRET GARDEN! I WILL 😢 CRY before I die of envyitis😮
I love Haworth, hoping to visit soon with hubby and 8yr old! Happy to see you enjoying the amazing Yorkshire countryside. I'm a new viewer and I've enjoyed all your videos, oooo you made it to Hebden Bridge, another place I like and not far from where I live!!
Fabulous!! Thanks so much for sharing this trip with us, Ruby. Jane Eyre is my favorite, and I've read and taught it for decades. I'll probably never get to make that trip, but you did everything I wanted to. Best wishes at Oxford!
Ruby, this is such an inspiring video. I'm writing from Australia and planning to take time back in Europe to visit away places of great poets and writers next year. It was wonderful that you showed us the poem on death and took time for us to visit with you Sylvia Plath's final resting place. This is the second video I have been honored to watch. Thank you so much. Carolyn
I went to Haworth back in October, 2019 and you stayed in the exact same room as mine at Weavers guesthouse. I'm glad that I can see the roads that I took in your video.
Thank you Ruby! What a wonderful trip and good to be there with you. We visited Bronte parsonage back in 2019 on a very hot day in July! Only managed the walk part of the way due to the heat. So I am especially interested to see your walk to Emily's inspiration for Wuthering Heights! Have a great week! Greetings from the highlands of Scotland!
Hi Ruby, I actually made a New Year's Resolution to read more classic literature such as the Bronte classics. I have kinda fallen out of it but I have actually finished Sense and Sensibility last week and I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice. It was actually thanks to you that inspired me to get back into the habit of reading. Although I do have to join the Not A Jane Austen Fan Club. Seems to me that even though the characters are named differently, they're basically the same person. What does everyone think?
Hi Ruby, thank you so much for sharing this video! I always thought it's gonna be difficult to go around solo travelling if we don't drive, but absolutely great to see you utilising the train to go all the way up north and go into the countryside! Did you have to change trains at a few places? x

Ruby, I relate deeply to your lifestyle. I'm often teased for taking solo trips and enjoying so much of life by myself. People just don't understand it. Your videos reassure me that I have soul sisters around the world who share my interests.
This is a wonderful video. I've always wanted to see the moors. Charlotte is my favourite writer of the Brontë sisters - Jane Eyre is one of the most atmospheric books ever written.
Thank you for all you do. x

Agreed. I sometimes feel so weird for going out and doing things by myself. I’m extremely introverted so I like being alone. When I do go out in the company of others it’s with my family.
your comment motivated me too..
Ruby, this is my favourite video of yours. Not only is it wonderful to see my beloved Yorkshire moors filmed so beautifully, but it is joyous to see you so free and happy. The poem you shared was so lovely, thank you. I hope you carry the feeling of being wild and alone on the moors with you when you return to daily life.
Your words are beautiful. You have a gift. You appreciate what others don’t. Keep on, keep on…

I live so close to Haworth and love visiting. The views are spectacular and the walks are amazing. You should visit Saltaire next time. It’s a World Heritage Site. A short journey from Keighley is Oakworth where they filmed the original railway children.
Could you please make a video about how you stay safe while travelling alone?
I love how you live and breathe literature ❤ great video. Have been thinking of doing this trip for years and years and will do for sure
My beloved Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Dales are where my heart and soul lie. I live abroad at the minute due to work contracts and I’m so unhappy. Nothing to do with where I live but I must return home 😢🙏🏻❤️
What an exquisite trip you experienced and thanks for taking us along! I can only imagine the ethereal connection with the Bronte sisters while walking the moors that inspired so much of their writing. I am hoping you will share the text of the poem you wrote in a later video or put it on your website; I’m sure there are others besides me that would love to read things you’ve written. Ruby, each video you post is inspiring, thank you.
Such a lovely vlog ❤❤
Ruby, this was beautiful and as a Yorkshire-woman living in London it made me very homesick!
YOU CAME TO KEIGHLEY!! I LIVE IN KEIGHLEY!! Sorry I got excited lol. The Yorkshire dales are so beautiful. I recommend Ilkley if you get the chance to go there :)
And I'm so glad you pronounced it right everyone always pronounces it Keeleigh
I love howarth so much! I live around 30 mins from it, i hope you enjoyed !!
Hi Ruby🏵
I loved the video as always 🧡
Greetings From Argentina.
Thank you so much for this amazing vlog. It must have taken a while to edit. And it’s very much appreciated. I love your little solo trips, they are so inspiring. I can’t wait to watch more in the future!
Although I am a 59-year-old woman in Pennsylvania, I feel that you and I are kindred spirits. I hope to make it to Brontë country someday. Thank you for bringing me there with you in this video.
This felt so odd as the Worth Valley is where I live and I wasn't expecting to see you there! I have thouight before how much you'd enjoy Haworth, Oxenhope, Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall! Just as I was wishing you would do The Railway Children's walk or travel on the Keighley Worth Valley line, there you were.
Lovely xx
Ruby is living the dream ☺
Beautifully made vlog, really enjoyable thank you ❤
This is just so comforting for my soul. As a fellow pluviophile it’s just gorgeous. Here in Australia we are in drought and in desperate need of rain. Everything is so brown and sunburnt. Smoke hangs in the air and chokes the sun turning it red.
Seeing Yorkshire in the cold wet is soothing
Thankyou
I adore this video! I went to York on my own a couple years back but never thought to got outside the city, now I really wanna go back and do that
Hello Ruby! This documentation of your trip was absolutely phenomenal; I can’t wait to travel and see the world- even the charming little village, like you do. To be able to visit the grounds that made way for some of the best works in literature must have been more than inspiring. I’m so happy you decided to share this with us!
I'm from Yorkshire and I truly wish more of it was still like this and not just the countryside parts. Most towns are massively run down. It's sad to see the loss of history and culture in those parts. There's a beautiful square in the city I live in (in Yorkshire) that dates back to the 1700s and in the next few years it's going to be gentrified which is really sad.
I don't comment often but I always enjoy your videos. I am in Canada and watching this made me realize how badly I want to travel to another town in Nova Scotia this summer by myself. Somewhere with museums and nice views. I hope to someday visit England as well
Yorkshire is a beautiful place, especially the Dales. I am however thinking you're stalking me 😀 My son went to Exeter uni so I spent some time there, I lived near Oxford and spent ages walking around it, and I was born in West Yorkshire and spent many many weekends hiking the Dales, especially Swaledale and Wensleydale. What you got to say for yourself young lady?? lol. I was a little surprised you went to York but didn't see around the Minster which is a lovely church. I'd comment though that people really should not go walking in the Dales without a map and compass, it's amazing how fast the clouds come down to ground level and you're lost, although smart phones may make this redundant!
I'm visiting the UK next month and will definitely go to Haworth after seeing this wonderful video!!!
You never fail to inspire me, Ruby! : )
I wish the American Midwest had trains you could take around the state, region or country as a whole. We have to drive everywhere and it sucks.
Omggg I went to Bronte country nearly two years ago for geographical research and a lot of my paper included literary references!!!
I love solo trip. Me time is so important. Thanks for sharing your travel experiences with us.
I really like that you went solo it makes me want to travel somewhere solo
I enjoy your book reviews and especially the ones where you go to the places connected with the books. May I suggest one: Jenny Uglow's "A Little History of English Gardening"? So many lucious descriptions of historical or famous gardens that I will probably never get to see. Thanks for considering- from an American
Greetings from Germany. It was so calming and enjoyable watching your journey. Thanks for sharing!❤
Just wanted to pop on and say I'm gutted I missed you! I work at Bettys York and was in on Easter Saturday!
I found your TH-cam channel at the beginning of the year and it has become my go to. I absolutely love the calming and poetic nature of your channel. Your interests are very similar to mine - reading, poetry, walking, Literature!
You are such a peaceful influence and have helped me improve my routines hugely.
So a big thank you, and next time you are in Bettys pop and say hi!
Heather in York Shop ☺️
Thank you for the adding the stone that commemorates the fate of York Jews in the 12th ce. History changes but is always the same.
Beautiful video ❤
Greetings from the Netherlands! I love everything in this video. Bookish trip - what could be better? It is very inspirational ❤
Dear Ruby, thank you for sharing this beautiful trip with us. I really love this travel vlog. You really captured so much beauty! Yorkshire looks absolutely beautiful! The rain and mist, the landscape with such unique form. Love the architecture, art and poetry. The sounds of all the birds! I watched this video two times to take all the beauty in. Thank you for sharing this. You are so so brave to take that walk all alone! You are an adventurer! You come alive when you are on an adventure in nature. Truly wonderful Ruby and congratulations for such lovely vlog.
Dear Ruby, I love everything about this video! And your poem gave me chills, thank you for sharing! Greetings from Mexico
I have to say, I don't usually like poetry, but your writing makes me really want to read your poetry. You sound like such a great storyteller. When you publish your book, I'll definitely be buying it. 😊
Also, for some reason, you remind me a tiny bit of the main character in Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022). I don't know why though. 😅 I really enjoyed the film too (although certain scenes were a bit 👀👀 haha). This has been on my mind for a few days and I debated whether I should tell you in case you wouldn't like the comparison, but I just felt like I had to.
I also really want to visit York as well! I'm quite interested in Viking history.
And finally, you've made me want to buy a Kindle and I really love your cover. 😊
R, it's not enough yr going to attend Oxford but NOW yr going to rub us Yanks noses in the fact yr in Bronteland. Don't bring up SECRET GARDEN! I WILL 😢 CRY before I die of envyitis😮
I always love your travel vlogs❤
your trip looks so cool! i wanna go there too 😇
thanks for inspiring us 💗
Well I've seen way too much 401, criminal minds and whatnot to spend that much time alone as a woman in a misty swamp and a deserted house😂
That's what I was thinking I was scared for her haha
Literally up the road from me !! I am a member of the Bronte society !!!!
I love Haworth, hoping to visit soon with hubby and 8yr old! Happy to see you enjoying the amazing Yorkshire countryside. I'm a new viewer and I've enjoyed all your videos, oooo you made it to Hebden Bridge, another place I like and not far from where I live!!
There's something really atmospheric and comforting about your videos, I always come away feeling inspired 😊🌿
That view at 5:12 literally took my breath away for a second! Absolutely stunning!
Fabulous!! Thanks so much for sharing this trip with us, Ruby. Jane Eyre is my favorite, and I've read and taught it for decades. I'll probably never get to make that trip, but you did everything I wanted to. Best wishes at Oxford!
Ruby, this is such an inspiring video. I'm writing from Australia and planning to take time back in Europe to visit away places of great poets and writers next year. It was wonderful that you showed us the poem on death and took time for us to visit with you Sylvia Plath's final resting place. This is the second video I have been honored to watch. Thank you so much. Carolyn
Amazing and comforting video ❤
The subtitles were the best idea ever
Lovely video, thank you ruby!
Hi ruby! Your channel is really the best! ❤I look forward everyday after work. I dread running out of your videos!
I went to Haworth back in October, 2019 and you stayed in the exact same room as mine at Weavers guesthouse. I'm glad that I can see the roads that I took in your video.
Thank you Ruby! What a wonderful trip and good to be there with you. We visited Bronte parsonage back in 2019 on a very hot day in July! Only managed the walk part of the way due to the heat. So I am especially interested to see your walk to Emily's inspiration for Wuthering Heights! Have a great week! Greetings from the highlands of Scotland!
I am sick currently and your videos really comfort me ❤
Probably not a good idea to go on the moors alone! I would have kept people in my sightlines. We went as a group .
great content
Not gonna lie, the landscape looks exactly like I imagined it
Hello Ruby, I like your literature trips very much. It's like being on a discovery tour yourself. Thank you!
Hi Ruby, I actually made a New Year's Resolution to read more classic literature such as the Bronte classics. I have kinda fallen out of it but I have actually finished Sense and Sensibility last week and I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice. It was actually thanks to you that inspired me to get back into the habit of reading. Although I do have to join the Not A Jane Austen Fan Club. Seems to me that even though the characters are named differently, they're basically the same person. What does everyone think?
Hi Ruby, thank you so much for sharing this video! I always thought it's gonna be difficult to go around solo travelling if we don't drive, but absolutely great to see you utilising the train to go all the way up north and go into the countryside! Did you have to change trains at a few places? x
