for future reference a volcano has 3 main states of activity: active: this is when a volcano is actively still erupting on a regular basis, with the majority in iceland/hawaii, as you will be aware mt st helens is also an active volcano and not all active volcanoes will erupt in huge massive eruptions, most (like those found in the places i named before) will spew out lava which causes the common red lava floes that run down usually to the sea. dormant: this is when a volcano has not erupted in a significant period of time, but the general structure of the volcano internally is still very much active, and magma still floes inside the volcano however there isn't enough material/pressure build up for an eruption to occur for a long time yet. extinct: these types of volcanoes are no longer capable of erupting without an external effect causing it, they no longer have an active magma chamber and have not erupted for an exceedingly long time.

Also, on this side of the river, 5 minutes away from me is a 14th century castle (Newark Castle) you can go in in the summer.

Bill Bryson (American) - The Road to Little Dribbling (more notes from a small island) Highly Recommended before visit! Nothing - and I mean, really, absolutely nothing - is more extraordinary in Britain than the beauty of the countryside. Nowhere in the world is there a landscape that has been more intensively utilised - more mined, farmed, quarried, covered with cities and clanging factories, threaded with motorways and railway lines - and yet remains so comprehensively and reliably lovely over most of its extent. It is the happiest accident in history. In terms of natural wonders, you know, Britain is a pretty unspectacular place. It has no alpine peaks or broad rift valleys, no mighty gorges or thundering cataracts. It is built to really quite a modest scale. And yet with a few unassuming natural endowments, a great deal of time and an unfailing instinct for improvement, the makers of Britain created the most superlatively park like landscapes, the most orderly cities, the handsomest provincial towns, the jauntiest seaside resorts, the stateliest homes, the most dreamily spired, castle strewn, cathedral-rich, abbey-bedecked, folly scattered, green wooded, winding laned, sheep-dotted, plumply hedgerowed, well tended, sublimely decorated 50,318 square miles the world has ever known - almost none of it undertaken with aesthetics in mind, but all of it adding up to something that is, quite often, perfect. What an achievement that is.

This guy did the typical tourist route. If you are visiting check local areas as there is soooo much more. Luskentyre beach on the Isle of Harris , Tintagel castle , The new forest where wild pony’s roam. The people in the UK have the most incredible history and beautiful places on their doorstep. So if you plan on visiting as your viewers about special places in the region they live and I bet you find incredible places to see.😊

The train that goes over the Glenfinnan viaduct is the Jacobite Express, which is one of the very few genuine steam trains still running in the UK. I've been on it once and it was a fantastic experience. It is a wee bit touristy though, with trolleys on the train selling Harry Potter memorabilia, e.t.c. The train runs from Fort William, which is overlooked by Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain, and terminates in the fishing town of Mallaig. During the journey you also pass by Loch Shiel, which was featured in the "Highlander" movie and TV series and can be seen from the Glenfinnan viaduct. I would highly recommend a trip on the Jacobite express.

Had to add another comment after the size comparison talk. It really goes to show the sizes of both countries, that the uk can fit into 1 state. It always blows my mind that you can drive for 4 hours in the uk and the accents will change several time across that journey, and quite drastically

Stonehenge aligns perfectly with the sun on each solstice , in the most incredible way!! - if you join in and visit at solstice you can still walk around and up to the stones and experience the most amazing sunrise and collective- literally magical cannot be described!

The UK is 1,450 km long and 250,000 sq km in size with 30,000 km of coastline, so yes it’s small compared to America, but it’s not tiny! It takes 19 hrs driving at 60 mph non stop, end to end, so it’s a two day journey.

If you like ancient places then Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland would be worth a visit. It’s a Neolithic village older than Stonehenge and the pyramids, built around 3000 BC the houses are built of stone set into earthen dams, with stone beds and cupboards, a sewer system with drains and toilets built into each house. It’s so well preserved because it was buried in sand until a storm in the mid 1800s uncovered it.

The white cliffs are beautiful, i live along the coast in Brighton and the white cliffs start there. The thing i love to think of is how the chalk was formed from microscopic sea creatures like plankton, that die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, over time and pressure it turns into chalk. I love to walk along under the cliffs and think of these things, it amazes me that this was the bottom of the ocean once upon a time. There is also evidence of a gigantic glacier that carved its way from inland through all the chalk to the sea, the cliffs drop down then rise back up where it happened. Blows my mind lol.

A few places to visit elsewhere in Scotland....Loch Lomond. Although there are many places surrounding it, Luss and Balloch are lovely. Inveraray...small town but the rive from Glasgow is lovely. The islands on the west coast....Islay and Jura. Stirling Castle and The Wallace monument.

If you ever do go to Wales, then in North Wales is also the small village of Portmeirion where they filmed The Prisoner (Patrick McGoohan, the main actor in it was also 4 times in Columbo ).

At 10,085m, Snowdon is taller than Everest, but of course Everest gets all the press. 😒 No, it's actually 1,085m. Compare that with Kentucky's Black Mountain at 1,263m. Also, it's Westminster, not Westminister. And Stone Henge, not Stone Hedge. It's a great video with some awesome footage but he messes up the details a bit. 😅

Anna & JT, if you're intent on visiting the U.K. this year the best time to come over here would be the long weekend of the 6th, 7th and 8th May because that's when King Charles III's coronation is happening. You might have some difficulty in finding accommodation in London itself over that weekend because of the international interest although I'm sure that you won't have any difficulty in finding suitable reasonably priced accommodation elsewhere throughout the whole of the U.K. That particular long weekend has been deemed as a national holiday for all of us so it's going to be party time throughout the entire country, isn't it? The only criticism of this bloke's video that I have and which you both watched is that he omitted Cornwall, Devon and Dorset especially with Dartmoor and its famous wild ponies which is located between Devon and Cornwall....it's amazing that the chalk coastline that you saw is at the very tip of England and is located in Cornwall, isn't it? The only piece of advice that I can give you is that the further away from London and the southeast of England that you get the cheaper things become so if you want to have an equally good time as in the capital it's best to travel north and west rather than stick to that part of the U.K., isn't it? ✌😎✌🇬🇧🇺🇸 P.S. Love ♥ to Charleigh and Maggie as usual.

The stones that were cut for stone Henge were cut in Wales and brought to the current site which is even more mind blowing.

I also lived on the Jurassic coastline. When we built our extension to the house we dug up 2 very large ammonites. Needed plant machinery to lift them. Come visit, you wont regret it.

Our friends just moved to a remote cottage on Skye and you might love their channel about Living the Skye Life. They even have a cute dog called Jack Spaniels.

Great reactions. The UK really offers a change of scenery within 40 minutes drive in any direction. A great castle to visit that is still active is Berkley Castle near Gloucester, you can hop over to Wales just a few miles West of drop South the city of Bath with its history and Roman not spring baths. Or East to Oxford, 1,000 years of stained glass history in the college windows...any direction is full of places to see. Hope you get to visit soon. 👍

There are so much you didn't see. So much missed in England. I spent my childhood visiting stately homes, castles, walks, waterfalls etc. I still haven't visited them all. The Lake District and Pennines are amazing. Cotswolds. Just so much. Even local to me within 45 mins I think we have nearly 10 stately homes, parks, wildlife reserves.

If you want castles you need to visit Northumberland. We have more than any other county. The first two Harry Potter films used Alnwick castle in the north of the county. In particular the flying lesson with Madame hooch. There is a broomstick flying experience there. They also have an amazing tree house and a poisonous garden. We also have the holy island of lindisfarne, bamburgh castle which was recently used in the latest Indiana jones movie and many more besides

Hi Anna and JT! So you want to move to the UK? What you waiting for?? COME ON OVER!!♥️👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

I've seen this video a few times and always think, he missed the Lake district and the Peak District. Both full of outstandingly beautiful places!

The white cliffs you first saw were the view from "Old Harry" rocks, at the tip off the cliffs, going towards Swanage in Dorset. I know as I lived there and have walked that path many times. The lighthouse on the cliff is "Belle Tout" lighthouse between Birling Gap and Beachy Head outside Eastbourne in East Sussex. It's at least 80 miles away from The Jurassic Coast, but still very impressive. I went to school in Seaford which is a short distance from Birling Gap. Right next to Birling Gap is "Cuckmere Haven" another one to look up.

I live about 15 miles from Durdle Door. It's a lovely place. So is Lulworth Cove which is just around the corner. Tyneham is also pretty cool. It's a ghost village. The people that lived there were told to leave during the second world war as the area was needed for military training. The sad thing is they were told they'd be able to return after the war but we're never allowed to. One of my favourite places in Dorset is Maiden Castle, an Iron Age hill fort. I walk the dogs there almost every day. The dogs love running up and down the ramparts.

When my mum was a child, she lived just over the hill from Stonehenge. She says she would run around the rocks with her friends and have picnics etc. It was free to visit. Nowadays, you have to pay to visit and it's all roped off so you can't touch them, because visitors would chip off pieces of the rock to keep as souvenirs.

People have broken off pieces of famous gravestones to take away as souvenirs too. It's really quite shocking why anyone would do that.

The Cotswolds are a beautiful place to visit as well. I am sure you won’t need to spend money on hotels or travel as you have so many fans who will put you up and take you round their part of the country.

I'm a Brit who is engaged to a fella in Wisconsin. It was his parents wedding anniversary so we were all booked into "a historic coach stop" for a meal. I was dragged off up the stairs to see where the guests had slept on rope nets in wooden framed beds. The on to the larger open room with old items on the wall or under glass. It was very nice. I asked the lady in charge what year the place was built and she excitedly said "the 1850s". The same year my house was built here in the UK. Mine is no way classed as historic lol.

Get well soon JT, hope you feel better soon.❤️ Awesome on the subs, well deserved too.😎👌. There are castles throughout the UK, so you can see castles in all parts, in my hometown Swansea, we have a castle ruin in the toen centre & said to be haunted too. In Wales alone there around 600 castles, there's also a train on Snowdonia too Anna. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 😎👌🏰

Proof that you're soul mates: you both love Wales! ❤

They were BIG guys in those days and prior to even finishing Stonehenge, which they altered and messed with for over 2 thousand years, they were building henges in massive timbers around 7 thousand BC. Then they turned to stone (expect they were fed up with timbers rotting), and in many parts of Britain if there is stone locally they used it. Late Mesolithic rectangular dwellings in stone with flagstone floors and hearths are increasingly found, at Bouldnor cliff (Isle of Wight), on Portland (Dorset), and at Avebury Henge (Wilts) inside the south circle, for example. The Mesolithic period dates to 10,000 to 8,000 Those people knew exactly how to handle stones, some of those known at Avebury Henge are in the order of 100 tonnes at the very least (the Cove).

The person who shot the video did a great job of showing off the parts of England he visited. What's great aswell is this is just some of the great places to visit we have. In London alone you could've added the view from Alexandra Palace or some of the old markets like Leadenhall, Borough or Spitalfields. Add to that the Lake District, coastal Cornwall, Isle of Wight, some of the famous Bridges dotted around the country, Bath, the list goes on.

One or two corrections. The 'Jurassic Coast' also has rocks - like Sir Harry's Rocks - from the next geological period, the Cretaceous. ('Creta' is the Latin for 'chalk'.) Towards the end of this period, unique conditions led to the deposition of a soft white limey ooze, which is now called the Chalk. We have many stone circles, and only Stonehenge bars you from going up to the stones. Not long north of Stonehenge is the great stone circle of Avebury, well worth a visit. Snowdon is not 10,000 metres high - which would make it taller than Everest - but just over 1,000 metres!

Thanks Golly, why do they always say Edinburgh and Scarborough wrong,

Sadly it is true that you can't get close to the stones at Stonehenge anymore because there are too many visitors and it would wreck the site if they were allowed in. Having said that you can book a tour outside opening hours to go inside it but it costs more money! If you're ever in that area please contact me as I worked in tourism (Including Stonehenge) in the area for 10 years and one of the places to go is Avebury which is another stone circle that you can go inside of. There is also a Harry Potter filming location too! If you want to visit a Castle you should go to Windsor and at the same time you could pay your respects to Lizzy.

Northumberland is a fantastic County to visit and holiday in. We drive there from Norfolk (which in itself is a gorgeous county!) and spend a week there quite often.

My home town in scotland has a castle bang in the middle of the town. You dont notice it until people like yourself remind us that not everyone has that in their lifes ,now i appreciate it more.

Love watching your channel you should check out Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire these are great places with alot of history aswell 😀 👍

Totally agree. 👍🏻

You should come to Wales some of the best coastline in the world, beautiful mountains and lakes. and your never more than a few minutes away from a castle anywhere in Wales, i can see 3 from my house windows and theres a lot more in walking distance lol.

If you want to visit Stonehenge go on the morning of the summer or winter solstice. I’m a local and not many people know that, even though they don’t let the tourists anywhere near the stones usually, during the solstices they let people walk right up to them. This is because lots of pagans or religious folk from across the country go there for their religious ceremonies. It can get really busy and you probably won’t be able to get into the inner circle with all the people there, but it is a great atmosphere as everyone watches the sun rise. Be warned though, you may have to walk quite far to get to it because most places to park are blocked to discourage people from coming.

You should check out the North Coast 500. Amazing tour of the Scottish Highlands. The whole of the UK has some amazing places to visit.

Hi guys, love watching your videos. They really make me smile. I live in Scotland and it is such a beautiful country. I really think you guys should look into doing a reaction video to a festival they have called "up helly aa" up in Shetland, the most northerly island in Scotland. Think vikings, long boats and lots of fire 🔥. Think you guys will love it 😀

Loving this channel your guys are awesome hopefully we get a live with u both soon :) yeah they have stopped people getting close to stone henge because of idiots littering and criminal damage to the site :(

the most beautiful, clear water ive seen in the UK has to be Harris, it looks tropical even when its freezing and drookit

My brother been to Wales and he loved it. He even been to Edinburgh Scotland. He made me jealous when I remember hearing he is moving to England for like a year for medical school. He even saw Wolves vs Everton game for free. My bro told me his been to Sherwood Forest known for stories of Robin Hood. Even seen Stonehenge. Everything my bro mentioned made me too jealous

It was lovely to watch Anna admiring the UK. I must admit us Brits do not appreciate all the beauty and history, castles etc as it’s all around us. Hopefully you do get to visit and get to go into a castle but there are over 4000 in the UK so unsure where you would start. Best of luck with making your dream come true Love from UK ❤

@@deb1544 sure, not all of the U.K is a cesspit but pretty much every city is lol The only places that haven’t seen such a decline are places where you’re going to be spending 250k plus for a one bed house. These sorts of areas are usually gated communities but there are villages dotted around our country that are still like this. Predominately white upper class people who want to keep these villages as white as possible. Even in London it’s now a case of you can walk down places like Notting Hill and have someone on a moped take your phone or bag or someone come up to you asking for money cos they need it for heroin or crack. Go further up North and it gets worse, not better. Look at places like Bradford in Yorkshire, most of Birmingham,Liverpool,Manchester going right up to places like North Shields in Newcastle then cities like Glasgow. Stabbings are becoming a daily thing in most major cities now. Crime rises every year. Drug dealers spring up and for every one taken down another two pop up at least. Homelessness got worse despite covid apparently getting most ppl off the streets. Cost of living forced most of the country into poverty and with poverty, crime rises. Sorry but a 4 bedroom house with a nice price tag is not my idea of anything but a cesspit when right outside it’s front door there are people begging, doing drugs and committing petty crime on a daily basis.

Great video guys, I have seen this before and its 'Stone Henge' not 'Stone hedge'

We do crazy stuff in some of the small villages, every 5th November in ottery st Mary we have the flaming tar barrels. People run up and down the street with a flaming barrel on their back, so much fun.

Crazy thing about Stonehenge to me is that on the longest day of the year the sun at sunrise shines directly through the centre of the main arch. How did they do this 4,500 years ago?

The UK has over 4000 castles according to Wiki, I've heard it mentioned that Wales has over 700 and yes they do have a lot for such a small place. As Anna hasn't been on a train how are you going to get to Scotland to go on that steam train without going on a train first, I'm sure that you aren't going to want to drive on the correct side of the road on such narrow and twisting roads hmmm? Congrats on the 10k :)

It seems strange to hear people get excited about castles sometimes. I drive past Castell Llanymddyfri (Llandovery Castle) all the time and rarely give it a second thought. Unless I'm going to the sheep auction by there. Congrats on 10k guys. Very well deserved.

Edinburg is on an extinct volcano as it hasn’t erupted in human history, while dormant volcanos haven’t erupted in a long time, like Mount Fuji and Kilimanjaro 😊

Hope you guys can visit the UK one day. I know it's a big thing for you coming over here. Our countires are unique and very special.

1- York (in the North! Almost was the capital over London) 2- Whitby (Seaside town of Dracula) 3 - Robin Hoods Bay (pirates and smugglers seaside town on a cliff) Good to do a video on, but if you do visit England, these are top places. They’re all close to each other too 👍🏻 . . . And Lincoln is near by, big castle and cathedral and the actual Magna Carter 😎

Magna Carta, not Carter...

A dormant volcano would then be one that hasn't erupted in the past 10,000 years, but which is expected to erupt again. An extinct volcano would be one that nobody expects to ever erupt again. These are human definitions of natural things - there have been a number of eruptions from “extinct” volcanoes!

castles are something i think a lot of people take advantage of in the uk. I remember being a teenager and just sitting in castle grounds a couple minutes from my house at no expense drinking on summer days, truly is beautiful

as a Scottish person i totally understand Anna's love for Highland cows, theyre adorable... in Scotland we call then Highland Coos! If you get the chance to visit the highlands please do

I grew up in a town just outside of Cardiff, Wales called Caerphilly. There is a very impressive castle in Caerphilly you should take a look at and many of the UK's most impressive castles are in Wales.

You do get extinct volcanoes

As a land mass the UK is a lot smaller than California but to drive from the northern tip of Scotland ( John O'Groats ) to the southern tip of England ( Lands End ) will take about as long as driving from San Diego to Portland. Our motorway system connects the big cities but many of our smaller remoter places can take a while to reach on small roads where the traffic moves slowly and the winding nature of the road means that somewhere that looks close on a map isn't as quick to reach as you may think. Plan an itinerary, do your research and don't try to see everywhere in one go, or you'll see nothing properly and spend the bulk of your time here driving.

Superb 10 places to visit in the UK without a doubt anna & jt but there's probably 174,308,294,237,923,217 give or take 1 or 2 other places in the UK that you would also be in awe of as well ! Such a tiny teeny country but every county from top to bottom east to west packs some stunning breathtaking places to visit .. have travelled from lands end to john o'groats an indeed it is 16 hours ! When ya do decide to come across the big pond have a beautiful holiday ( might wanna make it a months holiday maybe two ) jus so ya get so see what great britain has to offer !

A lot of the Mountains in the UK used to be volcanoes however they wont ever be active again, Millions of years ago (I am talking 400 million years ago here) the UK was not one land mass, the northern part Scotland and the southern part Wales and England merged...my point is that the once active volcanoes are no longer directly above a tectonic plate fault there will be no more eruptions , It explains how Scotland has a lot of Mountains and England is relatively flat in comparison...there is a video called "Continental drift animation centred on the UK" that will make the 400 million years pass in a flash if you are interested :)

living in a small town in northern Ireland surrounded by hills not once or ever have i ever stopped finding it beautiful

Volcanos can go extinct as the plate moves over the hotspot, so a new volcano would possibly be formed. Hawaii is a prime example of a moving plate over a hotspot that created new volcanoes. Also, scientists think that the stone henge rocks were placed on the other stones by building a hill of soil around the already placed verticle stones then sliding the horizontal ones into place on them and then removing the hill afterwards as they had no cranes etc.

Hey, guy who lives in London here. Stonehenge was built for religious purposes. It has the sun go through certain slits on the summer and winter solstice.

Wales has so many beautiful castles. We have more castles in Wales than any country. Cardiff Castle and Castle Coch. Worth putting on your itinerary.

The reason the waterfall falls right into the ocean is because of the ice ages in Scotland, the weight of the ice on top of the earth's crust pushed the surface of the earth down so much that beaches can be found 300 feet up cliffs and rivers that ran to the sea run to mid air.
