Great video and not sure your correction is necessary as the walls are definitely 7 metres high around the new park road gardens and from Avenue de chartres adjacent to West Street
Hi, the day job is in IT. Whilst we like making the videos, I don't think I could guide people around haha. I have a script that I create for the voiceovers. I doubt I would be able to remember it all walking about. ☺
In the summer of 2023 we were visiting the Bishop's Palace Gardens and it was beautiful and very peaceful! We were in Chichester for only 1 day on our tour around South England and Wales.
I love seeing all these lovely buildings and villages. Im always in awe of the magnificent work in cathedrals and how long they have stood the test of time. Thanks once again for all your effort. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
Me siento tan fascinada por la historia de distintos pueblos y ciudades de Inglaterra. Veo que muchas calles son para los peatónes y creo que es bueno . El mar siempre tranquilo , los techos de paja que me imagino conservan el calor dentro de las casa. Me gustan las iglesias por dentro y fuera . En fin me gusta todo . Saludos de Valparaíso Chile .
Thanks guys! We really enjoyed this video!😊 Beautiful area and lovely to see a bustling High Street. That was quite a trek you took us on. Thank you...We feel like we have been away for a weekend too. The pub you stayed in looked lovely. Sooo many places of interest and we spotted plenty of dogs. 😊
I was born and bought up in Chichester, near Summersdale and what was then Graylingwell hospital,it's strange to see how much the town centre has changed.
Spent a very enjoyable week in Chichester about 25 years ago, though it started off rather inauspiciously by arriving in the middle of a downpour. Brightened up later to be able to roam about the city and use it as a base to tour along the south coast visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace, Arundel, Hastings and Battle plus the Weald and Downland at Singleton and Bignor Roman Palace with some local friends. Encountered those muddy country backroads at the time too. 😉😊
I grew up in Chichester, Went to Chi high for boys. In the time of Mr Casey and Mr Austin as head master. I have moved away due to work but, I have to say its my favourite place and one day hope to go back to live.
Your videos make me want to keep coming back to England. So much to see, explore & enjoy over there. Thank you for what you do. It is very appreciated. ❤❤❤
We hope you do keep coming back! This visit surprised us, much more to see and historical info that we thought! The weather helped as well. Made is lovely stay.
Another outstanding overview of remarkable city. Each time I watch a new video I feel like I'm journeying back in time in the company of old friends. You guys are amazing!
I've known Chichester since 1961, worked there in 1970's but I never knew there was so much history and so many interesting walks, first time I've seen the waterside too. The detail and pace of your video is perfect. 👍
That is really a lovely village The house at about 50 minutes, gorgeous ! Probably very old, with tatched roof and these little windows upstairs. You also seem to have had a beautiful place to stay. Food looked superb ! You know it will be good if there are Roman settlements, they knew where life was good ! Thanks for sharing. Love each of your posts !
Enjoyed seeing that the custodians of the cathedral display so many layers of history in that magnificent place. This town was blessed with a variety of talented craftsmen over many centuries. Glad to see the beautiful quality that is apparently still valued. Thanks for the tour and history lesson. Topnotch 😊
Chichester has so many layers of history. Thank you for teaching me to say the city's name correctly; I was butchering it. Please keep up the great work.
Excellent video and research. A couple of other points Richard FitzAlan was the 3rd Earl of Arundel or 10th using the previous numbering scheme. Bosham is also rumored to be King Harold's burial place. From my research I believe former USA President Joseph Biden's 5th Great Grandfather believed to be Joseph Silverlock died in Bosham in 1780 aged around 40. His daughter Ann married a James Biden in 1762 in Bosham Church.
My wife and I love Bosham. If you walk back from the water front there's a lovely hotel called the Millstream. It's away from all the crowds that you tend to get on a sunny day and you can sit at a table on the lawn area out front with a drink and a light meal and watch the world go by.
As usual, we enjoy your videos. But this one stands out. It was very in depth and full of interesting information and history. Thank you gentlemen, we appreciate the work you put into the videos.
Thank you for the comment. We were lucky that there was a wealth on information during our research and this allows us to go deeper into the history. It surprised us and so, this video took an extra week to make. Glad you enjoyed it.
I grew up in East Wittering and Chichester until leaving for New Zealand in 1975. I've never been back to the UK since, so this was a nice trip down memory lane. If only you had turned your camera across the road at the old cinema you would have seen 38 East Street the then home of The West Sussex County Club. Now, I've no idea what it has become. Thanks for the memory.
As someone who lives in Chichester I found this very interesting, as whilst I knew a number of historical facts about Chichester, I learnt some new things too! Bishops Palace Garden is definitely worth visiting in the summer, so many wonderful and colourful blooms. I've shared this video with some international friends so they can see my home town :)
Another relaxing video. I love travelling around Britain (and the world) with you! As a non-British person, your channel has introduced me to some wonderful British places. I use your videos while planning trips to the UK.
Hi Simon and Will. We recently discovered your charming and informative videos and are huge fans. We live in Oregon and haven't been able to travel lately due to financial constraints. Your films really help appease our travel bug. There seems to be a steadily decreasing number of ones we haven't seen. I am curious if you have or would ever consider making a video about everything that goes into putting one of these videos together from deciding where you're going to film next to all the plans involved, getting the beautiful video footage, gathering so much history about each town/village, the scripting, editing, etc. We have watched some of the other travel videos others offer and, while some are okay, we haven't found any that surpass what you two put out. We have told many of our friends about you. Thank you, well done and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this video. I enjoyed all the history and learned so much, your time in researching information must have been extensive. The buildings, houses plus churches were beautiful to see. Your camera work is excellent as it enables us to see things and not rushing past. I now know why this was one of my Dad's favourite places to visit. Thank again 💕🇦🇺

@@nickjh1968 Oh ok, I didn't feel they could be that high. Quite amazing!

I don't know what you do in the rest of your life but you are a *superb* guide and explainer-of-history -- thanks as always for a lovely time 💚💙💜

Me siento tan fascinada por la historia de distintos pueblos y ciudades de Inglaterra.
Veo que muchas calles son para los peatónes y creo que es bueno .
El mar siempre tranquilo , los techos de paja que me imagino conservan el calor dentro de las casa.
Me gustan las iglesias por dentro y fuera .
En fin me gusta todo .

No matter how many cathedrals we’ve seen in our travels and tagging along on your adventures, each one is a jaw dropper. Chichester is a stunner.
It is a compact but lovely place. Hopefully all the structural struggles are behind it! 😊
Your videos make me want to keep coming back to England. So much to see, explore & enjoy over there. Thank you for what you do. It is very appreciated. ❤❤❤
We hope you do keep coming back! This visit surprised us, much more to see and historical info that we thought! The weather helped as well. Made is lovely stay.
Love your vids and especially the narration. Thank you both for sharing your adventures
Thank you, so kind.
Thank you from NZ ❤
Very nice video. Thanks again
Glad you enjoyed it
Another amazing city to spend a week exploring. Thanks so much. =-)
haha yes indeed, maybe just a weekend though its quite small.
Really enjoyed the video, you are the experts in providing history on TH-cam.
Thank you, so kind, we try our best to find interesting info to go along with the visit.

Watched this episode several times to make sure I didn't miss anything. What a wonderful walking tour of this historic city
Outstanding place to visit!! Thank you for the journey. I enjoyed it very much. Hugs and blessings ❤.

Almost as bad as Simon butchered the name of Marc Chagall?? 😉😊

Thank you Ron and Dovie, so pleased you enjoyed watching.
Chichester is gorgeous , another lovely place to visit is Midhurst, around 10 miles north of Chi, a beautiful little town ❤
Yes midhurst is wonderful. We have a video on the channel from Midhurst a few years back 😊
Another lovely presentation. You both do England proud. Thank you! XX
I was waiting your new vídeo since last week! Thank you!🙏🙏🙋🏻♀️🇧🇷
Sorry about that, as it was an hour long it look longer to produce 😊
Another beautifully filmed vid , these places should be paying you to do this .
😂 that would be nice!

Interestingly the remains of the westgate were visible for a short time last year during the works going on.

Very comprehensive tour! Thanks very much.
I went there to see Richard Fitzalan 3rd Earl of Arundel tomb, but I found the Cathedral is stunning!
Great video,I first thought it was the cathedral of Salisbury. Greetings from Germany!
I absolutely love your videos. So well presented and you find so much of interest in each place.
So kind thank you! We enjoy making them for everyone.

You are so welcome!

Thank you!
I absolutely love your videos thank you 🙏🏻 so much 😊
Excellent video as usual ❤❤
Thank you 😊☺
I love all the beautiful old buildings in England. The Chichester cathedral is magnificent although I wasn't keen on the modern tapestries. I couldn't work out what they were depicting. I'm afraid I'm a real traditionalist. Thanks for the interesting tour.
I agree, it was very hard to work out. Thanks for watching.
🥰👍⚘💐🤩
Mind-boggling as to how they built this cathedral without modern machinery.
I know, but not as well as it should have been with all the disasters over the centuries. Not often you hear of a tower collapse but they had 3!
I'm the first one here
