Itd be nice if you visit Hull, it was voted a few years ago as the "capital of culture". Underrated place to go. It has a cool aquarium that goes under the sea called "The Deep". It is a city built on the fishing industry, so the Maritime museum is good to go and the Streetlife museum is must visit. An old timey street block "frozen in time"
Thanks for reply, love watching your visits around the country, have you been to Cornwall? Had so many childhood holidays down there , wonderful memories especially staying in Looe and Polperro. Think you'd enjoy it there. Glad you're having great experiences keep up the good work.
there are some magic places here in the uk the problem is 90% of us are hemmed into concrete depression jungles called towns and cities... country side is saved for the rich, the inbreds, the elites., the royals... the tourists.
In the 50s ,as a boy, my parents took our family to stay near Lulworth Cove, in a caravan.I still have the beautiful image of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door in my mind. Such a beautiful 2 weeks of my life.
I spent most of my childhood holidays in Portland Dorset as my grandmother had a holiday house there. Portland has the most wonderful view over Chesil beach and is well worth a visit. Needless to say we spent many days on Weymouth beach and could see the White horse from there. Dorset is one of my favourite places. Many thanks for this video, great as always.
I live in the UK and really enjoy watching your Channel , I learn something new every time I watch your videos. It's great to see the passion you have for our country and how much you seem to enjoy being here. You come across as a very genuine couple. Keep up the great work.
Finally getting some decent weather in the UK after weeks on rain. It makes a huge difference when you are travelling to different places like you guys. Makes everywhere look more appealing.
@@andywrong3247 We read all of our comments and try to respond to as many as we can at least the first couple days a video goes up, but we've had a lot going on the last few weeks, so we are struggling to keep up. Instagram messages or email is the best way to get in touch.
Lawrence Of Arabia's grave is near to Wareham, and the church attached to the graveyard, St Nicholas' Church in Moreton, was hit in WW2. The etched glass windows are stunning. I'd also recommend Corfe Castle and the steam train to Swanage. They have punch & judy shows on the beach there.
I'm a UK resident but originally from Washington DC. Parts of the very south of the UK are techically sub tropical, whilst the northern parts of it are classified as Taiga, which is the kind of biome you will find in Siberia and northern Canada.
Don't tell everyone about it! It's our secret. You need to visit early in the morning or early evening, to see Durdle Door at its best. British kids are tough. They do that walk and those vertiginous steps, very young, and the memory stays with them forever. My dad swam out to the rocks in Warbarrow Bay with me hitching a ride on his back. I was 5 years old and I couldn't swim. It was 1967 and MGM had recently filmed Far From The Madding Crowd (the Julie Christie, Terence Stamp and Alan Bates version). We spent half our holiday looking for the film locations. It was great.
This is among my favourite areas of England (as opposed to UK). Weymouth, Sherborne, and Lyme Regis are each great little towns. Three of my 12-yr old grandsons (🇨🇦) and my youngest son and his 17-yr old school roommates from Wells, walked the whole 130 km of the Jurassic Coast Path in four days last August and it didn't rain once!! I joined them for the final day's 32km at the western end.
I went on a school residential trip to Lyme Regis almost 30 years ago, learning about Mary Anning and fossil hunting was by far my favourite ever school project! Well done for climbing to Durdle Door, I did a beach day with some friends at Lulworth a few years back and 3 of our group decided to walk to Durdle Door - me and my friend Laura took one look at the hill and decided to wait in the pub!! (We had walked Branksome to Swanage the day before in our defence!)
Back in 2018, Swanage was my first visit to Dorset. Since then I have been to Weymouth, Chesil Beach, Lyme Regis, Lulworth Cove, Bournemouth, & Isle of Portland. I hope to explore more of this beautiful county ❤️
Love how upbeat you are and positive on your adventures. I’m from Scotland and have also lived in the USA/California mostly … now living in Germany. Keep traveling 👍💕
The Jurassic Coast is amazing! I live not far away from the Devon end of Jurassic Coast... sadly the cliffs here are eroding and there are often cliff collapses around Sidmouth. Even though I've lived down here for a large part of my life, I still really enjoy a boat trip from Exmouth to Sidmouth. It takes about 2 hour, but is well worth it.
I love your enthusiasm guys. It's infectious. The last time I went to Lulworth Cove it was mid winter and we were almost the only one's there. If you travel further along the coast you will come to Lyme Regis. A beautiful traditional coastal town that has been used as backdrop for many movies. Most famously "the French Lieutenants Woman". Enjoy your travels. I look forward to your next vlog.😊😊
Lyme Regis: The Cobb the harbour wall, featured in the 1981 film The French Lieutenant's Woman, based on the 1969 novel of the same name by John Fowles. Lyme Regis is the setting and filming location of a 2020 film Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet as Mary Anning alongside Saoirse Ronan and Fiona Shaw.
As someone born and raised in Dorset it's nice to see that you enjoyed your time here so much exploring the coast :D Some other great places to visit if you get the chance to come back again are Corfe Castle, The Tank Museum, Monkey World, Swanage, New Forest National Park and Brownsea Island :D
I live in Exeter. Lots of Roman history and beautiful places like Topsham and Exmouth are 20 to 30 minutes drive away. Dartmouth is also beautiful about 45 minutes from Exeter.
We live around an hour from there and we are there whenever we get an opportunity. We always go to knoll beach which is the first car park you go past coming off the chain ferry, we like to sit at the beer garden at the banked arms and over look the water and then walk up to old Harry’s.
The She sells seashells on the seashore poem is about Mary Anniings. Dorset people are known as Dorset dumplings ( we have a dumpling) next door is Hampshire they are known as Hampshire hogs (wild pig/boar ) and people from Wiltshire are known as moon rakers ( supposedly the moon reflection looked like gold in the water and people tried to rake it up) The white horse was meant to be not liked by king George as they faced it going instead of coming towards Weymouth. Also dumbledore was taken by j k Rowling from Dorset old language it means bumble bee here and she believed it fitted the character. God almightys cow was ladybird/ladybug
Thanks to my parents and school trips, I got to see a lot of England as a child, but thanks to you two I’m getting to see even more which I’m thoroughly enjoying. I’m also getting ideas for whenever I’m back home showing my American friends around. ❤❤❤
I was raised (and my parents still live there) in the Devon village of Beer, just 7 miles west of Lyme Regis. My kids love going to Lyme. We normally go to Charmouth to find ammonites.
You finally made it to my home county 🙂 you really have Just scratched the surface of Dorset . There are beach towns like Bournemouth and Poole, lots of rural areas like wareham , lulworth and wool (lovely little bakery in wool that does incredible apple cake , i should know because I make it😊) and so much other stuff. Ive got so many great memories from growing up around here . Chips by the river in Wareham , the Purbeck hill , the tank museum, walking around poole quay or Bournemouth beach on a summer evening.....damn im lucky to be a country boy
"Old Harry" is no longer there - he was another stack which fell some years ago. The last one standing is his wife. They are the remnants of a chalk formation which used to join up with the Needles on the Isle of Wight.
Aww yay. I live in Dorset. It’s so beautiful, i feel so lucky. Wish i’d spotted you guys, I love your videos. Next time you should visit Cerne Abbas to see the giant(!). Also “dumbledore” is actually an old Dorset word meaning bumblebee xx
Just the other side of Lulworth Cove there is a military firing range but it is open to the public usually at weekends. In that area there is a village called Tyneham which was evacuated in WW2 when the military took over and it is totally as it was in the early 1940's, well worth a visit
I was born in Bournemouth, so know this part of the coast well. Old Harry Rock is the stack on the end. Alongside him is the Stump, which is what remains of Old Harry’s Wife, a stack alongside him which collapsed many years ago. Love watching your videos and so glad you are enjoying yourselves.
Grew up here so always took it for granted. Nice to see an 'outsiders' perspective of it. I left in my teens as there really aren't many career prospects for young people out there, but it is definitely a beautiful place to visit
You really looked like you enjoyed yourselves. I went there 20 years ago and it looks so much busier. We borrowed a small rock hammer from a fossil collecter on the beach and managed to find a couple of good ones. Thanks for posting this video and I look forward to seeing your next one
Durdle Door is like a zoo. During lockdown it was like a penguin colony on a sunny day - and then they needed to land two air ambulances on the beach so people were crammed together. The problem with Dorset this time of year is that it is heaving. For fewer crowds, head inland a bit - there's some amazing history in some of the towns and villages.
The terms for Old Harry come from Bay and Headland Geography. The softer parts of the cliff (usually more cracked) erode faster than the surroundings. This leads to headlands (that stick out) and bays (that dip in). The headland will then cause diffraction of waves that curl round and hit the sides of the headland causing caves on both sides. Once the caves join up they form an arch. Eventually the sides of the arch expand to the point where the top falls in, leaving a stack. Eventually the stack gets eroded down to form a stump. Eventually the stump gets planes off at the level of the waves leaving the largest geographical feature (observable at low tide), the Wave-Cut Platform. This is how cliff recession progresses. Hope this helps 😁
Fish and chips in Swanage, Burnbake Campsite, Corfe Castle, Durdle Dor etc etc fantastic. I also found a a rock on that beach years back the size of a small melon and yep it was cristalised inside, still have it.
They are indeed stunning, though very sadly much reduced in recent years, due to some of the most impressive rocks having collapsed with fierce wave action in storms. One of the loveliest views was from the top of the bus on the Sandbanks to Studland ferry, especially on a sunny summer evening. That was so magical!
Another great vlog guys. Always love being educated on my own country by you guys. Perhaps im showing my ignorance. But im putting down to decrepitude 😁 Imho Mary Anning never got the recognition she rightly deserved. Lets face it the USA has some of the most amazing fossil fields on the planet . But Mary Anning started the whole idea of palentology and ancient pre bible creatures .
You missed West Bay which is where they filmed Broadchurch and Harbour Lights, the sand sculptures at Weymouth, the Golden Cap, the tank museum at Bovington, the dinosaur museum in Dorchester and the lighthouse, Portland Bill. There’s so much to see and do in Dorset, it’s beautiful.
Loved the Master of Disguise reference at the end of the video!! Hey, if you are ever in London, Leicester Square, Prince Charles Theatre - go downstairs and add ‘MofD’ to the request board! We do it every time we visit but so far nada. Let’s make it the cult classic that it deserves to be!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
In what you guy's would call middle school (secondary school) here for us you'll go on a school trip to the seaside find fossils and look at them in a history museum
that's my home county - I'm originally from Bournemouth. I saw JJExtra post their video and added a comment that they should visit the Cerne Abbas Giant (you'll need to look it up 😊). Some other places in the area worth visiting are Sherborne and Shaftesbury (two pretty market towns in the north of the county), Tolpuddle (the place where unions started - the tolpuddle martyrs were deported to Australia for having the nerve to form one and there's an interesting museum), the lovely tropical gardens and bird sanctuary at Abbotsbury, Bridport (which is developing a bit of a reputation as a place for foodies), the New Forest (just over the border in Hampshire, a national park, famous for its wild ponies which roam freely, often through the villages there such as Burley), Cranborne Chase (an area of outstanding natural beauty), Chesil Beach (go to Portland for an amazing view over that whole section of coast), Tyneham (a deserted village which is left just as it was when it was taken over by the military during WW2) and so on. Loads to keep you going 🙂
Lardy cake is fantastic down there too - you'll pile the pounds on but what a great way to do it lol Did you not get to see the Cerne Abbas Giant? Tres risque' We lived down there for a few years and my Mrs was walking alongside me the she wasn't - that was when she believed me that the soles on her trainers was worn smooth
Oh I loved this video! It really shows a lovely taste of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast with really interesting facts too. I went to Durdle Door last year for the first time to make a video for my South West England channel snd was in awe of it. The Jurassic Coast is totally awesome!
I'm sure the full name for those stacks is "Old Harry and his Wives" - after king Henry VIII (and all his many wives); over some 500 years one or 2 smaller ones have inevitably succumbed to the ravages of storms and waves and the elements generally. Millenia ago these chalk hills ran out to the east and joined those which form the spine of the Isle of Wight (note the surviving chalk "Needles" formation there which reach into the sea). Sea levels were once lower and the south Of England has also sunk partly due to the geological fault line that runs up the English Channel and the fact that the plate we sit on has tilted with Scotland rising and that due to the 2 mile thick ice which once covered it now gone and the sheer weight removed allowing the land to rise! Much the same with Scandinavia where sea levels appear to have fallen, it is that the land is rising quicker than the sea has.
You must come and explore Exeter, it's about an hours drive from there. You've got the city centre and just below it the old historic Quay side. With a fantastic pizza place.
If you get the chance to visit the beautiful and privatelly owned fishing village of Clovelly in Devon, don't miss it. The only downside is the crushing walk back up through the stunningly picturesque village to the top car park, tho' there's transport available to book at an extra cost.
So many great places to visit. But you must go to the Hive Beach Cafe in Burton Bradstock. The drive there from Weymouth is amazing along the coastline (don't take the A road take the coast road). The restaurant itself is on the beach and they do amazing fresh fish/crab/lobster there.
Did you not go down the steps onto the beach at Durdle Dor? No I didn’t either. I waited at the top with my daughter and her partner whilst my wife and son did though. The fish and chips at Lulworth Cove are nice though.

the UK or England ?

we have so many gems in the UK, i do feel sorry that a lot of visitors dont leave london and find these places
I did and moved years ago 👍💫💫

Lawrence Of Arabia's grave is near to Wareham, and the church attached to the graveyard, St Nicholas' Church in Moreton, was hit in WW2. The etched glass windows are stunning. I'd also recommend Corfe Castle and the steam train to Swanage. They have punch & judy shows on the beach there.
Those sound great. Thank you!

Did you visit Winspit Quarry? (near Swanage on Jurassic Coast) Doctor Who and some of the Star Wars series - Andor was filmed there.
Yeah this is the UK..I don't understand why that surprises you 🤨
Well worth a visit is the deserted village of Tynham, not far from lulworth cove.
Aww yay. I live in Dorset. It’s so beautiful, i feel so lucky. Wish i’d spotted you guys, I love your videos. Next time you should visit Cerne Abbas to see the giant(!). Also “dumbledore” is actually an old Dorset word meaning bumblebee xx

My favourite county in England. Glad you enjoyed. The Banks Arms in Studland is my favourite pub with views to die for
Glad to see my suggestion of fossil hunting in Lyme Regis was a success, I knew Carly would enjoy the beach and all of that space to run around xx

The problem with Dorset this time of year is that it is heaving. For fewer crowds, head inland a bit - there's some amazing history in some of the towns and villages.
Agreed. I'm Dorset born and bred and avoid lulworth, durdle door, Lyme etc like the plague in summer . Most of us do
We love this coastline. I haven't been to Lyme Regis since I was a little girl so I'm inspired to return!
Spent hours in Poole. The second largest natural harbour in the world.
The terms for Old Harry come from Bay and Headland Geography. The softer parts of the cliff (usually more cracked) erode faster than the surroundings.

Hope this helps 😁
The abandoned village at Tyneham is amazing. The beach there is simply stunning. I'm biased but dorset is possibly the best County in England.
Fish and chips in Swanage, Burnbake Campsite, Corfe Castle, Durdle Dor etc etc fantastic. I also found a a rock on that beach years back the size of a small melon and yep it was cristalised inside, still have it.
Golden cap is a good walk to the top and the views are awesome.i think its the highest point on the south coast but I may be wrong.
Love Dorset especially Chesil beach and Corfe castle
Enjoyed the video. Find some Wiltshire Lardy cake to try out whilst you are in the vicinity.
The Hairy Rocks are stunning lol
They are indeed stunning, though very sadly much reduced in recent years, due to some of the most impressive rocks having collapsed with fierce wave action in storms. One of the loveliest views was from the top of the bus on the Sandbanks to Studland ferry, especially on a sunny summer evening. That was so magical!
Another great vlog guys.
Always love being educated on my own country by you guys.
Perhaps im showing my ignorance.
But im putting down to decrepitude 😁
Imho Mary Anning never got the recognition she rightly deserved.
Lets face it the USA has some of the most amazing fossil fields on the planet .
But Mary Anning started the whole idea of palentology and ancient pre bible creatures .
You missed West Bay which is where they filmed Broadchurch and Harbour Lights, the sand sculptures at Weymouth, the Golden Cap, the tank museum at Bovington, the dinosaur museum in Dorchester and the lighthouse, Portland Bill. There’s so much to see and do in Dorset, it’s beautiful.
Whatever you do NEVER take your dog near cows with calves
A cow with a calf at foot is an INCREDIBLY dangerous animal!!
So pretty!
You were near to Windspit which some classic episodes of Dr Who were filmed,slate mines.
While ur on the south coast u should do the gardens of heligan
Beautiful place Dorset,enjoy
Loved the Master of Disguise reference at the end of the video!! Hey, if you are ever in London, Leicester Square, Prince Charles Theatre - go downstairs and add ‘MofD’ to the request board! We do it every time we visit but so far nada. Let’s make it the cult classic that it deserves to be!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
It looks amazing defo want to visit this summer. Great vlog loved it 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
In what you guy's would call middle school (secondary school) here for us you'll go on a school trip to the seaside find fossils and look at them in a history museum
You guys should visit Sandbanks if you are still in Dorset.
Your dog is so lovely. Glad you enjoyed the Jurassic coast, iv never been . Must go soon.
that's my home county - I'm originally from Bournemouth. I saw JJExtra post their video and added a comment that they should visit the Cerne Abbas Giant (you'll need to look it up 😊). Some other places in the area worth visiting are Sherborne and Shaftesbury (two pretty market towns in the north of the county), Tolpuddle (the place where unions started - the tolpuddle martyrs were deported to Australia for having the nerve to form one and there's an interesting museum), the lovely tropical gardens and bird sanctuary at Abbotsbury, Bridport (which is developing a bit of a reputation as a place for foodies), the New Forest (just over the border in Hampshire, a national park, famous for its wild ponies which roam freely, often through the villages there such as Burley), Cranborne Chase (an area of outstanding natural beauty), Chesil Beach (go to Portland for an amazing view over that whole section of coast), Tyneham (a deserted village which is left just as it was when it was taken over by the military during WW2) and so on. Loads to keep you going 🙂
Lardy cake is fantastic down there too - you'll pile the pounds on but what a great way to do it lol
Did you not get to see the Cerne Abbas Giant? Tres risque'
We lived down there for a few years and my Mrs was walking alongside me the she wasn't - that was when she believed me that the soles on her trainers was worn smooth
Oh I loved this video! It really shows a lovely taste of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast with really interesting facts too. I went to Durdle Door last year for the first time to make a video for my South West England channel snd was in awe of it. The Jurassic Coast is totally awesome!
It's the sort of place you need to see when it's quiet. Those hordes of people....I couldn't do it!
The Tears for Fears music video for 'Shout' was filmed at Durdle Door. Not sure of any others but hope that was helpful.
Also Billy Ocean Loverboy and Cliff Richard Saviour's Day
That path around the cliff heading to Durdle Door is steeper than it looks!
Another great video, thanks for sharing!
Amazing place 🤩
We do have some beautiful places here have fun exploring them ❤
I'm with the dog! See one dinosaur footprint.....you seen them all.
I'm sure the full name for those stacks is "Old Harry and his Wives" - after king Henry VIII (and all his many wives); over some 500 years one or 2 smaller ones have inevitably succumbed to the ravages of storms and waves and the elements generally. Millenia ago these chalk hills ran out to the east and joined those which form the spine of the Isle of Wight (note the surviving chalk "Needles" formation there which reach into the sea). Sea levels were once lower and the south Of England has also sunk partly due to the geological fault line that runs up the English Channel and the fact that the plate we sit on has tilted with Scotland rising and that due to the 2 mile thick ice which once covered it now gone and the sheer weight removed allowing the land to rise! Much the same with Scandinavia where sea levels appear to have fallen, it is that the land is rising quicker than the sea has.
14:33 The comedy classic 'Nuts in May' was partially-filmed there.
You must come and explore Exeter, it's about an hours drive from there. You've got the city centre and just below it the old historic Quay side. With a fantastic pizza place.
Have you seen The French Lieutenant’s Woman? Filmed in Lyme Regis; the author of the novel lived there.
im off to swanage next week for a holiday glad you liked it
Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are two of the most popular visitor attractions on the South Coast.
With regards to getting your dog on the flight to Europe... Was the dog able to travel in the cabin? How much does she weigh?
If you get the chance to visit the beautiful and privatelly owned fishing village of Clovelly in Devon, don't miss it. The only downside is the crushing walk back up through the stunningly picturesque village to the top car park, tho' there's transport available to book at an extra cost.
There is a job opening as TV presenter on This Morning. You would be the perfect TV couple to replace Holly and Phil!! :)
Old Harry Rocks will be playing on the John Peel Stage at Glasto next year.
You were brave walking through a field of cows - especially with calves - with a dog!
Visit Bodiam Castle its so picturesque
Dorset apple 🍎 cake is lush 🎉🎉
So many great places to visit. But you must go to the Hive Beach Cafe in Burton Bradstock. The drive there from Weymouth is amazing along the coastline (don't take the A road take the coast road). The restaurant itself is on the beach and they do amazing fresh fish/crab/lobster there.
Tears for fears song Shout was filmed on the beach. Great video glad you had a good time
Really like your videos - thanks
At last, you've made it to my home County!
It's.mine too ( Wareham boy) and I'm super excited that finally someone has realised there's more to the UK than London or Winchester
I love your home county as I spent many holidays as a child in a holiday park in Verwood. Great memories.
Did you not go down the steps onto the beach at Durdle Dor? No I didn’t either. I waited at the top with my daughter and her partner whilst my wife and son did though. The fish and chips at Lulworth Cove are nice though.
