Winchester. Amazing cathedral and contents, (one of the best cathedrals IMO), country house architecture to die for, chalk stream, ancient water mill, diverse country pubs. Was the capital of England in Saxon times, hence has a great hall. Laid back relaxed atmosphere where you forget time and space. Perfect for 1-2 days.

Brit here. I've travelled extensively for my job. I visited most countries including the near east, far east, Europe and the west, America north and south plus Canada. I never found myself in a country where I wanted to stay. Some were downright horrible, even dangerous. I made a lot of trips to the US, all over the continent and I have to say it's not my favourite place. I would prefer to live in Japan (if I could afford a large house there) India too for the sheer fun of the place. But when it comes down to it, I'm firmly of the opinion that there is ABSOLUTELY nowhere better live than the UK. It's never too hot, never desperately cold and the rain we get means it's a lush green instead of the drab, dusty dirt-brown that the rest of the world lives with. There are no dangerous animals and nobody is trying to kill you or steal from you. We have the NHS and British police (you should meet the US or Saudi equivalent to get a real appreciation of what a godsend that is). Hell, even our churches leave you alone for the most part. You don't have to pretend piety in order to stay alive or run for political office. Three cheers for Good Old Blighty. Hip, Hip...

I love watching videos like this as I’m very proud of my country and feel so lucky to have been born in England. It’s also interesting to hear you say about the heat. When we had a heatwave about 18 months ago and it hit 40 degrees (104f) here and was like that for a long time, I saw so many Americans online saying how pathetic we all are when it’s hot and how they deal with it all the time. It’s so good to see people experience how hard it is here in the heat as our homes are designed to keep heat in and we don’t have air con. I dare those who mock us from their air conditioned homes in Texas for example to turn their air con off (night and day) for the whole summer. They wouldn’t be able to cope.

A good tip is to close the windows on the side of the house where the sun is, It stops the heat coming in. And have some large bowls filled with ice or cold water, to put moisture in the air. Only open windows on the shady side of the house, where the sun isn't. I agree about air conditioning, we're years behind.

On the topic of toilets - in British English and some other places like Australia the word toilet refers to the room as well as the item of 'furniture'. When indoor toilets became more common during the 1930s onwards the toilet and bathroom were separate. So you wouldn't ask for the bathroom if you needed to the toilet. You'd get the wrong room.

I love the amazing scenery of the UK, especially when we have good weather! My own favourites being Dorset (so happy you got to Swanage and Studland) TE Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) lived in the tiny house 'Clouds Hill' near Bovington Camp until his death in a road accident), West and North Wales, Derbyshire's Peak District (I replied to a post in which that lovely area was dismissed!), the Lake District, North Yorkshire (especially west from Richmond, Yorkshire), Northumbria, the whole of Western Scotland and the Hebridean islands. I always enjoyed advising people like you who weren't just rushing to capital city and top tourist sites (they miss so much else!). I also love County Cork and Kerry in southern Ireland (similar to the Scottish west coast, but also different). I have also travelled a lot around most of Europe, the Middle East (very sadly now too dangerous and so much destroyed in recent years!), North Africa, India (go to Kerala, Jaipur, Agra for the Taj Mahal, Shimla - by 'the Toy Train' ). If you have the opportunity of taking the cruise down the Nile from Luxor to Aswan, and also to Abu Simbel, that is fascinating and beautiful, especially when quiet.

Love Cornwall!

The Lake District is my favourite place, anywhere. Looking forward to you coming back! It'll be interesting how you see things here when you go back to America

Your enthsiasm and sheer niceness set your channel above other travel channels. Thank you!

Glad you've had such an enjoyable time. Travelling is tiring, physically and emotionally. And home is where the heart is (along with family, and friends, and comfort zone). So it's no surprise you're ready to go back home. The problem is when you get home, after a few months the itchy feet come back!

So true! Trying to figure out when we will be back.

If you think of Florida its surrounded by sea. Think of the UK surrounded by the sea. When it gets hot in both places the already moist air gets heated hence humidity.

Don't forget the humidity in winter too which makes the cold feel worse than it is.

It's the same in Istanbul and the W coast of Turkey.

I’ve been watching you guys since that first trip. You’re always very pleasant, positive people and I’m very glad you liked it here. However, as Dorothy said “there’s no place like home”

I really enjoyed watching your travel videos. Can’t wait to see more of them. I’m glad you both enjoyed the U.K.

Thank you! Will do!

If you're not used to driving on the left in a RHD car, work out the place on the car that lines up with dead centre of your lane for _your_ eye line - for me, it's the right-hand screen washer jet (some people use their left knee but that doesn't work for me). If that lines up with the centre of the lane, the car is in the centre of the lane. Use the door mirrors to check that you are where you want to be. Then work out the closest you feel safe in passing parked cars and find a similar point on your car to line up with the rear right wheel of the parked car in your eye line. Same applies. It's about getting used to where the edge of your car is, but don't fixate, stuff happens very quickly in tight spaces, so it's down to quick glances.

Love that you enjoyed Yorkshire! Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Hi Jeremy & Cara. Really glad you enjoyed your time here. I'll surprise you, you've been to some places here that I haven't been myself, Whitby in Yorkshire is one of them!! The other places you've been are phenomenal, the Lake District is just one great big wow! the scenery up there is amazing, never fails to impress me. I live in Kent, which you've also visited and liked, I'm just outside Canterbury, little place called Harbledown, very quiet and rural. I only go up to London now and then for shopping or entertainment, London scores highly there. On some of the other things like accents, yes, big diversity there, we even have Kentish dialect where an elderly widow is called "goody", a contraction of "good wife". The American writer Gertrude Stein once wrote that "England and America are two countries divided by a common language", she was absolutely spot-on there!! Best wishes, kind regards from Canterbury, Kent, UK.

Thank you so much for the kind words and the information! Whitby is a really lovely place to visit if you want to make it there someday I would recommend it!

​@@TheMagicGeekdom: Whitby has a connection to Bram Stoker's book Dracula. The Scottish Highlands and Islands are beautiful. Google the Cairngorms. The Peak District is very nice. Lake District, the Norfolk Broads, not a group of American Ladies. The Cotswolds, outside London. Dicken's house in Doughty Street, London. George Bernard Shaw's House in Old Welwyn, Hertfordshire. So many beautiful, diverse places to see in a relatively small country.

You need to spend some quality time in Liverpool. It's a really compact city, with fantastic architecture and lots to do, even without a car.

Yep, I'd second that. Liverpool is a fantastic city these days. The hotels can be a bit pricey at the weekends though, especially during the football season.

Nobody has truly been to Liverpool if they haven't taken in a midweek night game at Anfield. 😉

I’m so glad to hear that we in the U.K. are so dog friendly, we take our Jack Russell…”Fonzi” with us wherever ever we go, I’m so glad you had such a great time , I can so understand how you had to have her with you…..👍🇮🇲👌💖

I can't wait for your next travels ! I love the three of you traveling and giving us such a "real" experience ! Can't wait , my mom was from Germany and saw where she grew up, it was such a special moment. I think they pretty much like dogs there as well. I saw them lapping beer in bowels in the Hoffbrau house in Munich !😂❤❤

We loved Germany too. We have a few videos in the coming weeks.

Sorry to hear that you’ll be leaving Europe/UK at some point in the not too distant future, but all good things come to an end. It will be interesting to hear if the change of diet upsets you once you get back to eating your favourite American meals . The only reason I say this is because I’ve watched a few long term American tourists who say they suffered from upset stomachs (possibly due to all the additives in US food) when they returned home to the US. It’s something to bear in mind after your extended stay on this side of the pond.

I think the part about your little puppy is really important and valuable info for people. Not enough people share this 😁

I did enjoy it. I was a bit tired at that point..

You should still do BRISTOL. It's been rated the UK's best city a few times. I think youl love it!!

It’s fascinating hearing a visitors opinion of our country :) I’m from York, and my experience is so different to yours (sadly the reality of living somewhere is very different to visiting for a short while and I could not wait to move away) but it’s adorable to hear how much you enjoyed your visit. The UK must seem idyllic to those coming to visit us, and it sure is beautiful in places! ❤ You speak so beautifully of Yorkshire - thank you 😊 The reality - it’s actually one of the most deprived places in the country, but the people are super friendly and proud of their region. Outside of the tourist towns (like York lol) it is much more affordable and down to earth, with a big transitional population.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the sights and experiences in our tiny nation, like everything there are some ups and downs in most countries and of course it always comes back to the issue of family. Perhaps choosing a place to stay ie Yorkshire for a few weeks so you can get used to daily life in that area might be an idea, you are a lovely couple and have enjoyed your videos thanks.😘

Glad you had a great time and even better you got outside London!! Our favourite parts of the UK are Cornwall, North Yorkshire, Pembroke (south wales) and the Lakes ! So agree with you on those. Accents are fascinating and after awhile you can pinpoint where people are from.

Not just accents in travelling the UK you could come across 6 different native languages, Cornish, Welsh, Scots, Gaelic (Scottish), Gaelic (Irish) and Irish. There is Manx, the language of the Isle of Man, though technically it is a Protectorate of the UK under it's own Government , so some are touchy to be listed as part of the UK. But we still love them. In Wales both Welsh and English are taught in School. For Secondary school parents can send their child to an all Welsh school.

Plus then all the different dialects within those native languages other than English - Welsh varies hugely by geography. I love the variety.

Its lovely to hear you so positive about the UK and how much you travelled away from London, I think few visitors do. I speak online with Americans and we are always coming across cultural differences and words that are differently used. Its fascinating and shows that we are different culturally. While we speak the same language and have many of the same ethics and habits, we are naturally and healthily different. Nothing wrong with it. I enjoyed your review of things that surprised you and puzzled you. I am sure it would be the same for UK people visiting the US for longer visits. thanks for an entertaining time watching this video. Subscribed :)

As a Brit we went to live abroad & leaving the UK with our dog was super stressful & if we'd of know that going out via France would of been much easier for the dog. Coming back we flew him back via France and at a fraction of the price! Glad you had a great time in the UK & enjoy the rest of your onward journey. x

You just can't beat the North. I live in East Anglia and lovely I've been down south but 100% the North I just love it!!

I've lived in various countries and the 3 month in dip is very normal. The honeymoon is over but you've not quite got to grips with all the day to day details. I reckon it takes a year to really settle. I'm glad you liked many of the northern places and there are many lovely places in Yorkshire that aren't touristy.

​@@TheMagicGeekdom Would recommend Beverley and Flamborough head in East Yorkshire, Hebden Bridge, Marsden, Otley Chevin and Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, Peak District in South Yorkshire all great to visit. And of course most of North Yorkshire is stunning. Knaresborough, Harrogate, Helmsley, are all great too.

I've had 6 trips over since '13....Always fantastic!! Racing at Farleigh Castle and Matterly Basin. Much train and driving time. From London to Winchester, Bath, Bristol, Basingstoke....Love them ALL!! Planning on spending at least a couple of months there per year upon retirement. I have met SO MANY incredible people!!
