I have seen travelers in Worcestershire for many years now there are always in Redditch roundabout at Christmas every year they never leave rubbish around and when I worked for Redditch council and I used to give them bags for there rubbish and it was always bagged up and the land was tidy the horses kept the grass down they don't cause any trouble it's other types of travellers in caravans who make the trouble and everybody else gets treated bad and it's a really a shame I always slow down and give room to anybody with horses

I have 5 acres and really owning land is nothing like having a large back garden. I remember hearing once the expression “you cannot own land, the land owns you”. I now understand what that means. As long as people are treating land with respect and not causing damage, I don’t have a problem with people using part of my land temporarily.

Try a novel approach & ask for permission before entering the land you can’t just demand to be given the right to go onto someone’s private land & blame the police then for not being happy.

Year ago, a group of Travellers in two caravans,and couple of pick up trucks canped for two weeks on some waste land 500 yards from my house. That week the lead flashing disappear off my porch. Two neighbours lost theres too. About £10 scrap value. Cost me £200 to replace it, and i had to redecocrate my hallway where rain poured in for days. Conincdence? I think not.

Sad but true .

Most farmers on that route would give them space if they asked, its very difficult for all parties but this has been going on for years and I am surprised the locals on this route do not have more companion towards the travelers, I bet they are incomers, how about you try and stop the boat people and leave the travelers alone this is an annual spectical that tourist come to see, incomers have caused this

That field was locked and had a notice pinned to it saying no right of way and to enter would be trespass. It was an official notice. There is bound to be some serious accidents happen with slow moving horse drawn traffic being encountered on blind bends.

Hope you're well and doing well on the road as a traveller I know what it can be like I'm in Christchurch Dorset good luck and God bless

My father took me here when I was a kid it was fecking great he was into the sulky racing I wanna bring that back to Ireland 🇮🇪

Unfortunately the government passed a new law that now makes it possible for any person , parish council , local council , or County council to remove any traveller ( genuine Gypsy , so said gypsy , van travellers , Motorhome travellers etc etc ). Reason on this that the countryside have been trashed by travellers as they turn up on a Wednesday night , making the councils have to give them 48hrs notices but only after having to check that all their people are ok and schooled , then the clock starts Then the weekend, than then the councils have to get a court order for them to be removed. That is Monday gone ! Court order Tuesday 24hrs to move ie Wednesday ! They have to move on to another place to park and totally trash . Human excrement everywhere , in the streams, what they have left , tin cans rubbish everywhere, The place has to be chemically cleaned before re opening to public or residents. The cleaning can take 3 - 4 days. All at great cost due to some very dirty careless travellers One again due to some everybody suffers.

Very sad to see this community of travellers being harassed....unfortunately its not just them but anyone that travels and lives a nomadic lifestyle. The govènment dont want it !!! old traditions,crafts etc have to ve seen or viewed at country fairs,shows etc where you pay an arm and a leg to see how things were done. Rules for this,rules for that,but no compassion for people that are part of our heritage and certainly part of mine.. like all communities you have the few that ruin things for others...Great video guys

The council like the government work for the people. That's me and you, but most of the time, they make rules that suit themselves so they make profit. Appleby has been a traveller fair since 1685 and a horse fair since 1785. It's not new. Locals have bought houses in the nice quiet town, liking what they see but now want to make that town suit themselves. Its traditions we should all be proud of. What next ? forget those who died in the wars who fought for our freedom. Cos that's all the travellers want. Freedom to Rome and travel.

Absolutely disgusting treatment. These people were causing no trouble at all and were only doing what their community have done for many years. Yes, there are travellers who leave a mess but These people were not doing that. Persecution at it's finest.

How do we/you know who leaves the mess. ? It's like saying all HGV drivers throw pee bottles out the window. We both know it happens but not all do it. 🤷

They always stop at Redcar and when they leave the place is a tip with heaps of waste and excrement left

All depends where the caravans came from and if they were paid for from the rightful owners in the first place.. There's plenty of caravan parks around Kirkby Lonsdale that would benefit from an income every year but they just want to park for free in fields and the roadside. They have more than enough money to pay for a few nights a year to stay in caravan parks and campsites so why not just put your caravans where they're supposed to be and be respectful whilst being on the campsites.. Police wouldn't even see the caravans on campsites and would have no reason to confiscate them if they weren't breaking any laws

The fair was established in 1775. Anyone who owns land or has a house in that town either bought it knowing the history or in some very rare cases, their ancestors made money from the fair to buy the land they now own. In any case those who have had ancestors who made the purchases should be part of its tradition. It's their history, too. Those who have come from outside and moved in recent times knowing the history and have no right to moan.

That is so interesting , your DNA via your father could be connected to the Gypsies which means Egypt 🇪🇬 Egyptian . From Southern Israel like Ovda in Egypt. Twins Jacob and Esau warred because Jacob bought Esaus Birthright for a Pottage. Esau was later known as The Father of the Edomites. When realising what Jacob had done Esau wept bitterly crying to Isaac “Bless thou me oh my father hast thou not preserved even one blessing for me”. (Genesis) his father said his reward was in the hills and mountains wandering. There was a nuclear fall out and the Egyptians 🇪🇬 ended up heading for India 🇮🇳. There are many many Gypsy Tribes in Egypt , e.g Jats , kumbis etc , but especially the Lamani Tribes from the hills and mountains. The women wear gold coins as jewels and headdresses. They are very tall like the Spanish Flamenco 💃 dancers . Whereas the kumbis are protected , tiny , live on an island and wear no clothes, they are fierce. Some of the Jats are small and settled in Gudjerat etc . They evolved and transmigrated to Europe. Forming their own individual similarities and Gypsy language . But one Indian 🇮🇳 feminine word Phen/Pen for sister , tends to be Universal. A bit like Kushty and Covva ,your Covva can mean to be a lot of things. The Psalmist said in reference to Gypsies “Over Israel I have cast my shoe”. Hence a real Gypsy will always Gel/Throw a shoe on The Romany Rye. I have a very rare book by George Barrow called the Romany Rye - The Way- it is worth a lot of money now. So I don’t think anybody could afford to buy it. I think he was around the time of the Theological Bailey Brothers , Theologians from the Scottish Borders who gave succour to Gypsies around the time of Hitler . Over 3 Million Gypsies were massacred and in Concentration Camps because of ‘their bad blood’ like Ferdinand and Isabella. Gypsies have always been oppressed but refuse to be so any longer.

These travellers are just a pain. My partner and I were returning from Kirkby Stephen, on the road which eventually takes you to Sedbergh. We spotted a gypsy caravan and 2 horses, pulled into a lay-by around 200 meters in front of us, with the guy sorting the horses reins out etc. We were on a very long straight section of road, with nothing behind us as far as we could see, yet he still led the horses and caravan straight out into the road in front of us...... Sheer ignorance. As we continued driving towards Sedbergh, we often saw piles of rubbish left at the side of the road, where they'd stopped overnight.

Sorry but if you followed the law you would know, what is the order of priority on the road is ? As you are not aware I'll tell you. Pedestrian, followed by bicycle, horse, motorcycle, car, HGV. You should give 1.5m room when passing, if you don't have that space you don't pass. The horse has priority over car drivers. The horse was around before the car. Is more at risk.

The sacred custom of hospitality was a divine right of guests and a divine duty of hosts. All strangers without exception, were under the protection of Zeus Xenios - the god of strangers and suppliants. A violation of hospitality was likely to provoke the wrath of Gods lincluding Nemesis, Celtic tradition I believe was similar. The funny thing is, when the punishment happens, no one realizes why. That's why hostility to travelers exists.
