What I love most about your videos and your family is that you make the effort to KNOW about the places you’re visiting. As an English person I have really appreciated you getting to know England and the UK and the customs and the foods and the best places to visit before making a video about it. It’s clear that you don’t just visit countries to be a tourist, you go to be immersed in their culture and it’s fantastic and makes your videos all the more informative! Happy travels Mark & family x

Trashman Take a boat trip somewhere; wherever you are in the UK you can find a boat to travel down rivers, canals etc. Cornwall is absolutely beautiful and hiring a motor boat on the Helford passage in the south/south east of Cornwall is a must. Also the river tours in Canterbury are fab and boat hire in Stratford-upon-Avon. Visiting any National Trust property or Woodland Trust site is essential (they have websites you can visit to find one near to you), having a meal in a proper pub, walking and climbing at Dovedale in Derbyshire, check on Facebook for events near to where you’re staying. There will always be something going on! Street food festivals and markets, music events etc. Seeing a show somewhere would also be a must! Even if it’s just a small local theatre company, it will be a great night.

There’s literally so much to see! Stay near to a big city so you can visit all the attractions, but take a bus or a car to near by towns and villages because you will find something beautiful. I’m from Derbyshire which is in the Midlands so I would always recommend here as a place to stay, but the beaches in Cornwall, Wales or east coast are my favourite.

@Chris Wings It I have ancestors from Kentucky also, I’ll have to put the stone in my list. I think there was a show on it several years ago, I’ll have to look for it though clearly as our ancestors were as smart, and perhaps more creative problem-solvers, it doesn’t seem implausible at all. And phooey on the Welsh and Irish bashers, maybe it’s secret envy?
Rather than say 'don't bother learning Welsh', I would encourage those who visit to learn a few words....this is always appreciated. Welsh actually has more vowels than English - as well as a e i o u we have y and w...knowing that makes pronunciation one hell of a lot easier! The good news is that you are well informed and sympathetic to Wales, and thanks for your video! Diolch yn fawr!

Fantastic video! Another don't I would add is, Don't leave Wales without having had a sandwich made with Braces bread. You haven't had a sandwich until you've had one of those!

Evertime I was in Wales, it never rained. Most wonderful place I have ever visited
I'd recommend learning a few Welsh phrases. I find that when I'm working my Summer job, and a tourist attempts a few Welsh words, it makes me feel very happy because they've made an effort. Not expecting fluency, but a "Bore Da" and "Diolch yn fawr" goes a long way.

You're certainly right about the Welsh language, it's so difficult, I'm trying hard to learn it at the moment. You give some very good advice to tourists and I love how you view things. Thanks for posting.
I took a day trip to Wales years ago when I was visiting England and fell in love with Cardiff! Now the super busy city vacations don't feel as enticing as a secluded cabin in the country with access to a little village and some beautiful sights. Thanks for selling me on this, Mark, now to go convince my partner that Wales should get priority over Norway in our international travel plans!

Thank you for raising the profile of my beautiful homeland!
Have lived in Wales and i must say you give very accurate information on your posts. I have also watched several of your travel posts like Turku, etc. Very informative! Welldone!
You'll be fine with speaking English but, like every country, we really appreciate people trying. Please, thank you and excuse me are really not hard to pronounce. Welsh is a beautiful sounding language :)
Make sure to climb the Brecon beacons beautiful views from them

Wales is an amazing place with many friendly and helpful people and so many wonderful sights to see both historical and natural, you will be amazed at what variety there is packed into such a relatively small country. If you ever get the chance to visit, please do not let it pass you by!

... Unless of course you are English. If you are, you will be made to feel most unwelcome, subjected to derision and extreme racism. Depending on where you go you are likely to experience extreme hostility in the form of violence!. So, if you are English, and if you absolutely must go there?..... Be aware , and take care!.
We spent just one day in Wales 🏴 in December. Raglan Castle, Tintern Abbey... the Forest of Dean! It was stunning.

Wolters World - I noticed you showed Raglan Castle quite a bit. I’m going to Wales one day soon. That’s my ancestor’s home. My mother was a Ragland. I descend from Sir William ap Thomas Herbert, Blue Knight of Gwent. I descend through two of his sons. I have to go. Can’t wait. Thank you
Excellent video. Very informative. I always watch the WRC World Rally in North Wales when it's here. It takes you to some of the best parts of the Welsh Mountain terrain.
Great video butty boy, thanks for your positive views
I found the Welsh to be extremely friendly. Our trip there was wonderful and I really would like to go back. It is such a beautiful place.
Can’t believe you actually acknowledged Wales. Here in Swansea was the first place in the uk to have a Denny’s!!

Great info and love the super positive attitude. Diolch!! 😉👍🇺🇸
Stargazing in Wales - sounds so gorgeous! Thanks for the idea.
Thank you so much for visiting Wales. Such a beautiful country that's often overlooked due to our neighbouring countries :) Diolch yn fawr
I’m from Wales and I have to say, you nailed this. Every point is legit and you have been completely respectful. Wales is a beautiful country and deserves more tourism. It’s less about notable places here and more about nature. About learning to speak Welsh, even I don’t even know it and i grew up in Wales. Totally agree about never calling us English. We really don’t want like it and find it disrespectful but we do understand if it was done innocently.

This is a great guide, well done, glad you liked our country 👍
I remember watching the Perseid meteor shower when I was in Wales. Never has the sky been so mesmerising
I am Welsh, and living in Wales. Love your video, you are spot on with our language.. even I struggle with it ! But to be fair we have fought very hard to keep our language alive and in use, I just wish the Celtic languages were easier to learn 😁
Diolch! Discovered your vid and am very pleased to see your detailed explanation of my bit. Lovely, that! Now, although it's not perfect, I am over-the-moon by your effort to both learn and teach. So, well done, you!
Brilliant your spot on and some good advice,we are in Wales now and yes it rains and rains,luckily mostly at night and very early in morning.
A very accurate video. Wales IS a beautiful place and the people are nice as well. Seriously worth a visit and don't worry about the rain - it's why Wales is so green. The West coast is gorgeous and as well the places he mentioned, oh, do give St Davids a visit if you can. It's the UK's smallest city (pop 1400) and has a stunning ancient cathedral. Enjoy.

The drive along the North Wales coast road is stunning 👌
Thanks for the shout out for Wales! I would add: Don't expect meat in a Glamorgan sausage, but it does make a good vegetarian option!
A great video, nicely done. Thanks for broadcasting Wales. I like your anecdotes, they are spot on, especially 'don't complain about the rain'!. A couple of notes though. After the Norman invasion, mercenaries were hired from across Europe and based along the Welsh border. They were to engage in a program of ethnic cleansing, clearing the hills, which lasted for hundreds of years. This is why there are so many castles. This is the history of England vs Wales. Ours is the oldest culture in the UK. When the Romans invaded, it was the (Welsh) Celts who gave the name 'Prydain' which gave the name 'Britain'. Even 'London' comes from a Welsh name! The English descended from the German, Scandinavian and French invaders 500 years later, and it's been rough on Celts ever since. I think you're right, if you do come here, try to get as far away from Cities as you can. There are stories everywhere. Every field has a name, every name has a story. Every story has a pint of beer waiting to accompany it. And do have a go at learning some words, it'll be an eye opener. Diolch, a hwyl fawr.
Love you guys! You’re doing everything that the tourists that do not do! I love you hike on the trails and that and you embrace he country as if it’s were your own! X You’re the best for your views bud!
Hi, as someone who lives in Wales this video is fab! Im so glad you've enjoyed ad you come back for more! Also, do come back in Summer, go to Pembroke, Gower, North Wales, Brecon is our jewel but there is so much here including fantastic coastlines!
I've taken day trips to Wales on trips to England, as I've stayed in Chester close to the border. Amazing scenery and cosy little towns! Also, I wish I knew Welsh better. It's a fascinating language! :)
Love this video! I'm Welsh myself so tuned in out of interest, made me laugh so much. Diolch yn fawr!
I'm Welsh, and this video was spot on I was smiling throughout!
No vowels? We have 7! W and Y are vowels in Welsh. We have words without consonants 😂😂😂

Alice Ribeiro, I was so tickled to learn why "sometimes Y and W" is part of learning American vowels!! Understanding that made sounding out Welsh words so much easier and made me appreciate our own English more!

You also seem to have words that are several sentences long. Just without the full stops at places inside them.
