They adore eachother and are the best, the best of mates, friends, partners. And I honestly believe that is the ONLY right base for a good and long marriage.

Love natural pools I really with more people would adopt them it's much better for the surrounding wildlife and honestly after being a swimmer for years smelling like chlorine all the time is so exhausting.

Wow!! 00:56 The aerial (drone) footage of the garden/pools was breathtaking!!! Fantastic footage!!

That is one HELLUVA pool. When I discovered your channel and found you had this pool, I was instantly hooked. My discovery that I love bathing in icy water happened 40+ years ago, and I can't get enough. Literally. We live in a 1964, 1,365 sq.ft. tract home in the California Bay Area, and there's no cold pools close enough to me. I suppose I'll need to do something about it one day. I've always loved the idea of having a pond large enough that not only local wildlife would benefit, but where I too could have a dunk in it. This journey of yours is inspirational! Mine won't be anything like yours (thank God!!) but your pool is astonishingly beautiful, and may you long enjoy it, as I know you all and many future generations of Hinchingbrookes (et.al.) will, even if it's just to see and/or knowing it's there. I am so happy that you've (all) managed to come all the way to this point, it is a true wonder and a marvel! Many blessings to you and yours, from California.❤

I want to thank you for the content! I love your project - I am a 60 year old and I have been managing a swimming pool nearly 45 years - my parents had an inground that I worked on and then later in my life the house I purchased has one - I rebuilt both and funny enough I work for a company that manages pool chemistry - I have been managing or rebuilding inground pools for a very long time - I dont profess I am a pro but I love your topic and WOW I often wondered what and HOW they made pools like yours - INFACT the topic of this video was what drew me in - I actually laughed and thought omg they had pools 300 years ago? LOL I suppose yes, but WOW you 2 have such an amazing home I am thrilled to finish watching this video - but your enthusiasm totally captured my attention - GOOD FORM! GREAT JOB! amazing what you did there!!!! I look forward to seeing how you manage the chemistry? BTW I work for ECOLAB we do all the pools in all Disney Parks! Cheers!!!!

You guys are an amazing couple!, I just love how Mrs Mapperton gets involved and jumps in the pool in the cold! ❤

So impressive. The respect and admiration you show each other and your heritage is heartwarming.

As a dog owner in the US there are a lot of deaths with dogs drinking algae water. Some have died rather quickly after drinking small amounts. Your pool still looks green to me.

its still got algea but at least the blooms are more or less eliminated it apppears. The saving grace of the pool would be it staying cold.... if it ever got up to warm temps you might get some of that brain eating amoebas growing in there (kids get it from playing in ditch water etc...)

Genius! I loved the natural way of cleaning the pool!

The property reminds me of where the children of Green know was filmed. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you and enjoy!

Loved this recap. Really enjoyed the time lapse. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

We had a lovely salt water solar heated pool when we lived in Orlando Florida. I loved it. Watching you swim in your pool reminded me of when I lived in Minnesota and by Memorial Day at the end of May we would all head for the lake to go swimming weather it was warm or cool outside.

I just started watching your channels within the last month or so. I love love love them. I’m glad I have a lot of catch up with older videos. We will be in Lymington next spring to visit family and hopefully we can make our way over to Mapperton for a tour! Keep up the good work. I can only imagine how hard it is… but rewarding. I am way into British history and so enjoy all of the videos of the stately homes. My hubby was born in England and is English and Scottish. We love visiting new places when we get over there.

Fantastic guys you did it! Looking forward to part 2.

The pool videos are for sure my favorite Mapperton videos.

It's lovely that the pool was restored with a natural cleaning system. I am left to wonder what they did to keep it clean 300 years ago?

Could you film your beautiful fireplace so we can have it on loop as our fireplace and experience sitting by the Mapperton fire from our own homes this winter? There are so many fireplace crackling vids on youtube but they are all digital and crummy! Would LOVE to sit at Mapperton each day instead!!

Quite the undertaking! My goodness! Great job to everyone who worked on it!

found maprton after i found ghost town living. what a wild ride mr toad in the pool

I am new here! Just found this channel this am! I love it so interesting! Looking forward to watching and catching up on your videos past and present!

I had forgotten how many frogs were transferred..🐸🐸 It's amazing how different the pool now appears as photographed by the drone. The before photo showed how it appeared like a scummy pond. Well done! If I had the money I'd come for a swim🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️, but Julie I'll leave it to you. Best wishes to you both and your family for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎉🥂🎉

I love the recap! Only thing that popped me was lampshade behind Julie it was crooked ha ha ha

This is amazing thank you so much for sharing and see you in the pool … till then I will continue to enjoy my community pool in Dubai for now 😊✨ sending you all love health and happiness from Dubai ❤️❤️❤️

I love the pool repair! And the frogs and the water islands too!

This applies to aquariums as well 🙂 plants are great at uptaking excess nutrients

I love Mapperton. It is my dream to visit there one day. Much love from America.

If I ever get to come to England again, I will definitely come to see this beautiful and famous pool.

Absolutely adore Julie. She's funny and so authentic.

I've been following this series! Hope to see it in person someday~ :)

This would have been an excellent Segway to a sponsored flex seal repair/testimony 😁

Love the story of the plants and the pool. Smashing!! Now you need a more stylish pool hair cover

Tile it properly and chuck some chlorine in!! (Kidding). Great job, guys. You wouldn't catch me in it between September and May, though!

Mak sense, the sludge had blocked the cracks. Cleaning it completely opened them up.

Fun video… Mapperton pools, a destination… thanks for sharing.

I am laughing at that shower cap, Julie! I didn’t know they were still made. You are adorable!

I would be concerned about flesh eating bacteria or the like. I was always told stagnant water is the worst. Maybe it doesn't get hot enough there, but I don't even like swimming in lakes these days. Too any instances of people getting sick. I'll stick with a chlorine pool thanks.

I remember swimming in an ancient stone pool in Macau in the early 1960s. That water was green with a bunch of floating algae in it too...plus many ugly swimming things one could not readily see or identify. When something medium large brushes down you body that feel like it has a thousand hairy legs and teeth to match, it's time to call it a day.

If only Harry had met someone like you Julie!! Luke you are a VERY lucky man, but then again, like attracts like! All the best wishes for a wonderful Christmas from Australia!

Thank you for being the bright spot in my life. Also, I love that sweater with the orange stripe! It looks fabulous and so cozy comfortable! Where did you get it? Love Love lOve to you both! Thank you so much!

Simply brilliant solution! Letting nature take care of the problem. I'm surprised that the pool man didn't suggest some kind of aeration of the water (e.g. water fountain) to help keep w/ the algae & general health of the pond...I mean pool.

I love how chill he is and how hyper she is 😆 🤣 😂 ☯️ .

You guys are so great together!

Love the granny/ nanny swim cap! God bless, stay well.

I was there this summer. :) Would love to take a dip whenever I can make it back to England! :)

I found your channel through Nicki Positano, and oh my gosh, what a gift she and Carlo gave me for Christmas! I am SO happy that I have found your channel, I love LOVE Julie's energy, and Luke's.... Britishness? haha, I mean that in the kindest possible way, I think you're both genuinely wonderful humans and you're both so fascinating! I would LOVE to take a dip in the pool with you, Julie!! I'm from Canada and we do something called a polar dip in the ocean on New Year's Day. I did it once and it was SO COLD I thought the air had been sucked out of my lungs. It felt like a thousand little tiny knives stabbing me all over, but I fought through it and my mind went to a place of calm and relaxation I'd never been to before.

Kudos to both of you!

That AG1 looks like the green gunk you were swimming in. By the way, your pool water still looks algae green at the end. I would go with completely sealing the leaks and installing a chlorination system. Who knows what you are growing in there over time and swimming in it.

Hello from Queensland Australia, Julie you show that an American can join British society. Love watching you two. Good thing they were frogs and not toads like we have here. It is very rare to see a green frog in our garden. We do have heaps of frilly lizards. Maybe one day we will get back to the UK, and maybe pop in for a spot of tea. 😊

This is wonderful, you are great❤

It's incredible how badass this lady is, i would never swim in that pool not even after the reforms
