Hello. I hope you enjoy this calm relaxing walking video.
This morning we are up with the lark and walking around the beautiful streets and lanes of Lacock village in Wiltshire.
The sun is rising and we start our walk on the footpath from Reybridge to Lacock. We then journey down a single-track lane towards the centre of the village. Before we arrive in the village we will pass Lacock’s flowing ford. It is quiet today but during the summer you will see children dipping their toes in the water or playing Poohsticks on the bridge.
Lacock is well known for its abbey and cloisters as well as a museum dedicated to William Fox Talbot, one of the fathers of modern photography. Lacock is mentioned in the Domesday Book and Lacock Abbey was founded in the early 13th century. Many of the houses in the village are from the 18th century or earlier.
The village has been used as a filming location for TV shows and movies such as: Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, Downton Abbey, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Beauty and the Beast and The Other Boleyn Girl.
As we walk around it is early and very quiet. During our walk we pass some friendly dog walkers and a runner out catching the fresh morning air. See if you can spot the cat on the lane towards the end of the video.
As well as the flowing ford we can hear lots of waking birds calling out in appreciation of the morning sunrise. Lacock doesn’t have much passing traffic but we do see and hear the occasional car. There is a busier A-road close-by that we can sometimes hear.
We are particular fortunate this morning to have such a lovely sky and light that bounces off the lovely tones of the ancient brickwork on the buildings. If you have never been to Lacock I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of this video.

Hello, welcome to a short walk around Tintern Abbey. This walk was filmed at 7:30am on Saturday April 15th 2023, in Tintern, Monmouthshire, Wales along the River Wye. The river forms the border between Monmouthshire, Wales and Gloucestershire, England. The temperature was around 3° but the thick fog in the air made it feel colder. There was very little wind, in the valley the fog lingers. Tintern Abbey is a popular tourist attraction, it is visited by approximately 70,000 people a year. The nearest town is Chepstow, about a ten minute drive. Cardiff, the capital city of Wales is about a 50 minute driveway. Driving from London can be as long as a three hour journey. Brief history: Walter de Clare founded Tintern Abbey on May 9th 1131. Nobleman, De Clare was granted lordship of the land by King Henry I of England. Construction of the Abbey took over 100 years, from 1131 to 1230. It was established as a monastery for the Cistercian monks, who adhered to a strict code of simplicity and isolation. What remains of the Abbey is a mixture of architecture from 1131 to 1536. After this period the Abbey fell into decline, due to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The dissolution was enacted by Henry VIII, between 1536 to 1541, where church land across England, Wales and Ireland was confiscated and transferred to the Crown. Lead from the roof tiles was sold, industries set up around the area - factories and furnaces, quarries in the hills and charcoal was made in the woods. The Abbey suffered from all this pollution and the ruins were inhabited by the workers. The building decaying more and more over time. In the 18th century visiting remote parts of the country became a popular pursuit. The Abbey ruins gathered attention, and were romanticised by artists. During a tour of Britain in the 1790s painter William Turner sketched the Abbey, concluding in his watercolour - Tintern Abbey: The Crossing and Chancel. While on a walking tour with his sister William Wordsworth visited the area. Inspiring Wordsworth to write the poem: Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey. Links below. The Abbey was acknowledged as a monument of national importance in 1901, and designated a Grade 1 listed building in September 2000. Tintern Abbey is one of the most well-preserved ruins in Wales.
Hello. This morning we are in Bibury. Bibury is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. We have just walked down Awkward Hill and now walking along Arlington Row. The houses here were originally built in the 14th century as a wool store, later converted in the 17th century into a row of cottages for weavers. Today these Grade 1 listed buildings are owned by the National Trust. There is no public access to the buildings or their gardens, though one of them can be rented for holidays (vacation). Arlington Row is one of the most photographed sites in England. If you have the good fortune to visit, try and arrive early when it is quiet. The well renowned 19th-century artist William Morris said Bibury is - “the most beautiful village in England”. A water meadow called Rack Isle sits in front of Arlington Row. The ‘rack’ refers to when wool was made here and then hung out to dry on racks in the meadow. The River Coln runs through Bibury, it rises east of Cheltenham and flows through the Cotswold Hills, meeting the River Thames to the south-west of Lechlade. The main town of the Cotswolds is Cirencester, a 15 minute car drive away from Bibury. Travelling from central London by car is about 140 km, taking over two hours. Public transport from London would take around three hours, by train, then you would need to take one or two bus rides. In the 2011 census the population of Bibury was recorded as 627. The average house price here is £1,304,125 per property (2022-23), £1,018,125 above the UK national average of £286,000 (April 2023). Weather; average temperature is as low as 1°C around December to January, climbing up to a maximum average around 22°C from June to August. I was grateful to have good weather that I could share with you. Thank you for walking along with me today. Do like and leave a comment, it is lovely to connect with you. You can also follow me on Instagram, I will post some pictures. Support the channel by buying me a virtual coffee, follow the link in the description. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this more accessible to people. We will meet again soon for another walk.
Hello, how are you? Let me know in the comments. It is nice to be back, connecting with people. This is a short walk I recorded last year on: Sunday 24th September 2022, at 7am. I thought the sunrise was worth sharing with you. We are having a little walk in Reybridge, a small hamlet in Wiltshire. A hamlet is typically smaller than a village, without a church. Reybridge is close to he village of Lacock. There are a few public footpaths between Reybridge and Lacock, the shortest route is about one kilometre. There is a longer route that follows the River Avon that takes you around the back of Lacock Abbey. Driving from London it is approximately a two hour journey, mostly on the M4. Public transport would also take about two hours from London; train from Paddington Station to Chippenham and then a short bus ride. As Reybridge is small so is the property market there. In 2022 the overall average house price averaged around the £1,000,000. Much higher than the UK national average impart due to the area having royal connections. The Rey Bridge (the stone bridge we just walked over), has the years 1691 and 1745 carved in the stonework. Under the bridge the River Avon flows to Chippenham in the North and Melksham in the South. Reybridge was once part of an important trade route between London and Wales serving the cities of Bath, Bristol and Gloucester. Reybridge is surrounded by farmland. Lackham College is close-by, specialising in land-based studies and has been a centre for agricultural learning since 1946. If you are lucky enough to ever have a walk among these fields don’t forget to say hello to the animals. Thank you for reading and walking along today.

We will meet again soon.
This text is an edited version of the captions (enable CC) in the video.This morning we are walking from Upper Slaughter to Lower Slaughter. Upper Slaughter is a small village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. The main town of the Cotswold district is Cirencester, a 30 minute car drive away. Travelling from London by car is about 140 km and would take over two hours. Public transport from London would take around three hours, by train, then a bus ride and then a 30 minute walk. In 2011 the population here was recorded at 177 people. As there are so few houses the property market in the village is small. There have been 12 houses sold in the last five years. Those house sales averaged at £1,613,561 per property. Which is £1,332,561 above the UK national average (April 2022). Weather; average temperature is as low as 1°C around December to January, climbing up to a maximum average around 22°C from June to August. The name Slaughter may sound ghoulish, but originates from an Old English term “slothre”, meaning wet land or a muddy place. The village was built on the banks of the River Eye, a small river branching from the River Windrush. Lower Slaughter is also on the River Eye, only a two km walk away. Excavations in the area revealed there could have been a small Roman settlement here. The first records of Upper Slaughter are of its Manor, in the Domesday Book (1086). The manor is recorded as being in the possession of powerful Norman nobleman; Roger de Lacy. During the 12th century Upper Slaughter was the site of an adulterine castle. Adulterine castles were castles built without royal approval. They were mainly built during the Anarchy, a civil war between 1139 and 1154. The castle at Upper Slaughter was built of earth and timber. A mound on the north side of the village marks the remains of the castle. The church we saw earlier dates back to the 12th century. The church underwent restoration work in 1877, but retained some of its Saxon features. There is a gabled Manor House in the village dating from the 15th century, after much neglect it was restored in the 19th century, it is now a private residence. Next door to this building is the 17th century hotel; Lords Of The Manor Hotel. Upper Slaughter is known as a Double Thankful Village, meaning the village lost no men in the armed forces during World War I and II. In 1944 a German bomber dropped 2000 incendiary bombs on the village. Buildings were damaged, but there were no fatalities or injuries. The BBC series Father Brown (2013–2022) has been filmed here, as well as the Charles Dickens BBC mini-series Our Mutual Friend (1998). We are now heading into Lower Slaughter, from the west end of the village. We pass-by the water mill in a few seconds. A mill has been recorded here all the way back to the 11th century. The current 19th century water mill is open five days a week as a museum. You can learn more about bread making and the workings of the mill. The mill was last used to grind flour for bread in 1958. As well as the water mill, the local inn and manor house support the village’s main trade of tourism. Both Upper and Lower Slaughter are very attractive villages. Most of the homes here are 16th and 17th century, built from Cotswold limestone. There are more modern residences that have been built the other side of the old village. These homes put the average house price in the area at £468,750. There have only been two house sales recorded in the last five years. Access and parking to both villages can be hard. The roads and lanes are narrow, meaning vehicles like tour buses can not enter. Parts of the 2020 film adaptation of Jane Austin’s Emma were filmed here.Early morning walk Oxford.

Oxford, Oxfordshire, South-East England. Central London is approximately a 90 km drive. Train to London Paddington about 1 hour. A London to Oxford cycle may take 6 hours. In 2017 Oxford’s population was estimated at 152,450. May 2021 to May 2022 the average house price was £579,526. An average detached house £906,470. Semi £581,956. Terraced £518,748. Flat £315,445. The average UK house price was £278,000, meaning houses in Oxford are £300,000 above average. The average temperature is as low as 1°C around December - January, up to around 22°C from June - August. Early records show a nunnery was established in Oxford in the early 7th Century (C). In the 9th C Alfred the Great created a network of fortified towns in England called burhs. These were a network of fortified settlements to keep out attackers like the Vikings. These burhs included Bath, London, Winchester and Oxford. Though fortified Oxford town was still burned to the ground by vikings in 979 and 1009. Oxford also came under heavy attack during 1066 in the Norman Invasion. By this time it was a large well established town. Between 1071–73 the Normans built Oxford Castle. Academic teaching was first recorded in Oxford 1096. The University of Oxford was founded in 1167, it is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Oxford began to flourish as a market town and centre of academia. But there was ever continuing conflict between townsfolk and academics. In 1209 a woman was killed in the town and the townsfolk hung 2 students. Students fled and established the University of Cambridge. Riots were recorded in 1228, 1236, 1238, 1248, 1272 & 1298. The tension came to a head in 1355 when fighting lasted 3 days. 63 scholars and 30 locals died in what was known as the St Scholastica Day Riots. The relationship between “town & gown” was tense. Kings gave students special privileges over the townsfolk. Over time conflict lessened. During the 12th & 13th C Oxford was also known for its manufacturing, particularly for cloth and leather. In 1517 the mysterious sweating sickness killed half of the population of Oxford. The Diocese of Oxford was formed in 1542, initiating the first Bishop of Oxford, which in-turn granted the town a city status. In 1555 The Oxford Martyrs (3 protestants) were burnt at the stake. This was part of the Marian persecutions where Mary I of England (Mary Tudor or Bloody Mary), had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake during her 5 year reign. During the English Civil War, where the Parliamentarians and the Royalists fought, Oxford was home to the court of Charles I after he was expelled from London. The town was surrendered to the Parliamentarians during the Siege of Oxford In 1646. Toward the end of the war, with news of Charles II approaching, the Parliamentarians caused much havoc. During the Great Plague in 1603 & 1625-26 the city suffered severe outbreaks. In 1665 Charles II would leave London for Oxford while the plague peaked. Oxford underwent many changes after serious fires in 1644 & 1671. By the 17th & 18th C Oxford had a skyline of spired buildings, including theatres, colleges and churches, with well-paved streets and a large high street. Oxford amply provided for the community and the universities. As the city grew in popularity the streets become more congested, in 1774 a covered market was built for food traders. Prosperity brought the Oxford to London railway in 1844. The summer of 1862 Lewis Carroll took Alice Liddell and her sisters rowing on The Thames in Oxford. Carroll told them the story that will become Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, copies are printed in Oxford three years later. In 1884 the first copy of what will become the Oxford English Dictionary is published. By the early part of the 20th century Oxford is important manufacturing. In 1913 the first Morris car is assembled and sold. In 1920 female university lecturers are given equal status to their male counterparts. The University admits their first 100 women to study for full degrees. Spring of 1926 CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien meet for the first time. Albert Einstein lectures at Rhodes House preparatory in 1931. In 1954 graduate Roger Bannister runs the first sub-4-minute mile on the University track. At the Jericho Tavern in 1986 Radiohead play their 1st gig. Today Oxford's industries still include manufacturing, education and publishing, as well as IT and science. The city of spires is an academic stronghold of excellence, while maintaining lots of tourists throughout. Oxford has been in many films and shows: Anatomy of a Scandal 2022, Eternals, His Dark Materials, Skyfall, A Discovery of Witches, A Clockwork Orange, The Mummy 2017 and Inspector Morse. Harry Potter: the Chamber of Secrets, the Philosopher's Stone and the Goblet of Fire.A serene shoreline sunrise walk in Burry Port, Waleseverywhere is imagined2022-05-13 | This video was recorded on 30th April 2022.

Hello. This morning we are up at 5:30 am for a walk along the shoreline, in Burry Port, a small town in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. The nearest city is Swansea, a 40 minute, 28 km drive away. We are a good 4 hour drive from central London, about 330 kms. By train it is at least a 4 hour ride to London Paddington. At the last census in 2011, Burry Port had a population of 6,156. From May 2021 to April 2022 the average house price was £209,582 - a detached house: £287,601. Semi: £155,624. Terraced: £154,791. Flats: £74,500. House prices here are about £65,000 below the UK national average. Burry Port sits at the mouth (where sea meets river) of the Loughor Estuary, facing the picturesque Gower peninsula. Nearby are the beautiful Pembrey Burrows sand dunes and wetlands. Before the industrial revolution people in this area made a living from farming and fishing. There was no town in Burry Port until the 19th century, though records for the Pembrey area date back to the middle ages. Centuries ago the hazardous sea waters around Pembrey were well known. Locals would salvage what they could find from shipwrecks along the shoreline. It has been said that the locals found ways to lure ships to their doom, these people were known as: The Men of Little Hatchets. They were named after the locally made speciality little hatchet tool - It had a claw to rip open cargo... and other things… occasionally being used to dispatch of unwanted witnesses. Burry Port is particularly well known for its roots in the mining trade. Coal mining from the nearby Gwendraeth Valley was established as far back as the 16th century, with cargo being regularly carried up and down the Gwendraeth River. Utilising the river a canal and quay were opened in 1768, part of which is still preserved today, Trade increased; the canals expanded, wharves and docks were built. In the 1830s a harbour was opened at Burry Port and the nearby Pembrey. It offered a way to ship coal out to sea and avoided the hard to navigate river. Burry Port Lighthouse, standing at the outer harbour, was completed in 1842. In 1848 a copper works opened and was fundamental in Burry Port becoming a town. Surprisingly up to this point there was still no registered town at Burry Port. The first records of a town started appearing in the 1850s. The emergence of it becoming a town was acknowledged with the opening of a railway station. Pembrey and Burry Port railway station was opened in 1852. The old canals were now unable to cope with capacity and were converted into railways. However, during the 20th century the mining trade went into decline… many pits, quarries and works across the UK closed. Though the mainline railway and station remain the old trade valley railway is gone. The lighthouse is one of the few reminders of Burry Ports mining history. The harbour is a now a marina popular for sailing and other leisure pursuits. One of Burry Port’s other notes in history is - In 1928 Amelia Earhart was the first woman to be flown across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Burry Port. I hope you have enjoyed our walk this morning. There is also the Millennium Coastal Path to explore if you ever visit the area, a 13-mile traffic free walk and cycleway that goes through Burry Port.

This morning we are up early walking in Bourton-on-the-Water. Bourton-on-the-Water is a village in Gloucestershire, in the South-West of England. Sitting within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearest city is Cheltenham, about a 30 minute, 25 km drive away. Roughly a hours bus ride. Bourton-on-the-Water is over a two hour drive from central London, about 140 kms. There is not direct route from London on public transport. A combination of bus and train rides would take around three to four hours. The 2011 census recorded 3,296 residents in Bourton-on-the-Water. From April 2021 to April 2022 the average house price was £438,180 - a detached house: £524,342. Semi: £349,149. Terraced: £313,600. Flats: £167,500. The average price of a house in Bourton-on-the-Water is 260% above the UK national average. Most areas within the Cotswolds are sought after, greatly increasing property value. We started our walk on the edge of the village walking down Lansdowne street, now we follow the footpath along the River Windrush into the centre of the village. The River Windrush starts around Taddington, in Gloucestershire gathering more water along the way from the surrounding area. The river meanders through the Cotswolds to Oxford, joining the River Thames at Newbridge. In Bourton-on-the-Water there are five low arched stone bridges straddling the River Windrush and connecting the village. Three of these bridges are narrow and not suitable for vehicles. In about five minutes we cross Mill Bridge, built from stone in 1654. Downstream the next bridge, High Bridge, is for pedestrians only, built in 1756. Further on is New Bridge, wide enough for vehicles, built in 1911. Next to New Bridge is Paynes Bridge, built in 1756, only suitable for foot crossings. Coronation Bridge built in 1953 is the last bridge, replaced after the old eighteenth century wood bridge collapsed. The river is the key feature of Bourton-on-the-Water. When the summer weather is warm the river-edges are full of visitors dipping their toes in the water. On average 300,000 people visit each year. Some of Bourton-on-the-Water is classed as a Conservation Area, meaning it has special architectural or historic interest that is worthy of preservation. English Heritage have designated 114 buildings in the village as Grade II listed. Because we are here early the paths and High Street traffic are quiet. Sometimes we can hear the flow of the river, we are blessed to hear many birds calling. There are mallards on the water, some of the birds we hear in the trees and sky are: crow, jackdaw, wood pigeon, collared dove, great tit, blackbird and robin. We know that humans have been present in Bourton since 4000 B.C., from the remains of Neolithic pottery that have been found. Ancient Roman pottery and coins have also been discovered in the village. By Norman times, in the 11th century, Bourton-on-the-Water was a well established village, and by the 12th century had three mills along the river, with the wool industry proving to be a popular trade. Up-to the 18th century it was reported that the river was still good for trout fishing. From 1862 to 1962 the village had a passenger railway service. The closest operating railway station is now at Moreton-in-Marsh. Bourton-on-the-Water became a popular visitor attraction between 1920 and 1930. A replica 1:9 scale Model Village of the village opened in the village to visitors in 1937. The model village itself contains a model village of the model village. I hope that made sense(?). The British rock band Oasis filmed part of their music video I'm Outta Time at the model village. Parts of the James Bond movie Die Another Day (2002) were filmed at Bourton-on-the-Water. Another popular attraction in the village is the Cotswold Motoring Museum, founded in 1978. It features motoring history from the 20th century. The buildings in the village are made from yellow ashlar limestone, that help give the Cotswolds area it’s unique charm. I’ll let you relax and enjoy the rest of the walk uninterrupted. Thank you for reading and walking along today. If you haven’t please like the video and subscribe. Do leave a comment, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. Support the channel by buying me a virtual coffee, there is a link in the description. It gives me great pleasure to share my walks and make places like this more accessible. Take care.

Greenwich is a Royal Borough in south-east London along the River Thames. It is in the historic county of Kent and the ceremonial county of Greater London. Greenwich train station is served by the Thameslink and southeastern services. The DLR (Docklands Light Railway) also stops at Greenwich, if sightseeing I would recommend getting of at the Cutty Sark station. There are also plenty of regular bus services. If you walked from Westminster (Central London) it would be around a 10km walk. You can also get the speedy Uber Boat by Thames Clippers from Westminster. The 2011 census recorded 254,557 residents in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. From March 2021 to 2022 the average house price was £515,429. We started this morning’s walk in Greenwich Market, established 1737. An indoor market selling antiques, art, jewellery, drinks, food and much more. There is also Greenwich Vintage Market very close-by. When I lived in London I would regularly visit the markets at the weekend. Spending many hours searching for old books, postcards and picture frames. Now we are along the banks of the River Thames. There can be great comfort in water, rivers… meandering walks, following the ebb and flow. The River Thames starts near where I live now in the Cotswolds, it then travels 210 miles passing through four towns, including: Oxford, Royal Windsor, London and Southend, before it reaches the North Sea on England’s East Coast. Have you noticed the building with the lit dome? This is the southern entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel. You can walk down the 100 stepped spiral staircase, walk 370 metres through the foot tunnel under the river, and up another 87 stepped spiral staircase to the Isle of Dogs. There used to be a lift, I do not know when this was last operating. Work on building the foot tunnel began in 1899 and was opened in August 1902. The tunnel allowed workers to access the docks and shipyards around the Isle of Dogs. It is hard to imagine the lit skyscrapers of Canary Wharf as once bustling docks. Did you see the boat on land? We have to mention the Cutty Sark. The Cutty Sark is the last remaining British tea clipper. Built in Scotland in 1869 it was the fastest of the tea clippers. Clipper ships were designed for speed… for trade. They sailed all over the world but mainly trade routes between Britain and China, trading tea from China, the British do love their tea! The Cutty Sark is now a museum and a popular attraction. As we carry on down river we walk past and then pause outside the gates of the the Old Royal Naval College, the centrepiece of the World Heritage Site known as - Maritime Greenwich. UNESCO described the area as having: ‘outstanding universal value’ and the ‘finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles’. The grounds and some of the buildings are open to visitors. As we look through the gates in the middle distance is the Queen’s House. Designed by architect Inigo Jones, for Anne of Denmark, the Queen of King James I. It was the first classically designed building in the country, built between 1616 and 1635. The Queen’s House is open to the public, it is free but you must book tickets. There is also the beautiful Chapel in the Queen Mary Court, the grand Painted Hall in King William Court and The Admiral’s House (built as Charles II new royal palace in 1660), can be hired. I’ll put a link in the description to the Old Royal Naval College website, there is lots to explore. Now we are down on the shore of the Thames. During the 1930s the shores of the Thames were a popular “beach” destination. Including the area around Tower Bridge, Hammersmith and Greenwich. Children built sandcastles and would swim in the river. People would also hire rowing boats. As we carry on our walk today we will end up in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, closer this time to the Queen’s House - a popular filming location. Netflix’s drama series Bridgerton and The Crown used locations in and around the house. You may also recognise the grounds from the final battle scene in Thor: The Dark World. Other films that have used locations around Greenwich include: Les Misérables, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Dark Knight Rises, Skyfall and The King’s Speech.We end the walk today looking over Greenwich Park, one of the Royal Parks. In the 15th century Henry VIII introduced deer there for hunting. Today the park is mainly used for recreation - exercising, socialising and if the weather is kind - picnics. A walk up the hill will reward you with some of the best (free) views you can get of London. At the top of the hill is the Royal Observatory where Greenwich Meantime originates. We will save that for another day.

Hello. I hope you are keeping well. I recorded this walk in early January before I contracted COVID. I’ve revisited the footage and edited together a short walk. This morning we start our walk along the River Frome, we then journey up to walk around the ruins of Farleigh Hungerford Castle, located within the small village of Farleigh Hungerford, Somerset, England. Farleigh Hungerford is approx 113 mile drive from central London and about an 8 mile drive from its nearest city - Bath. The castle was constructed in the 14th century by Sir Thomas Hungerford. The castle then stayed mainly in the Hungerford family for around 300 years. Except for during The English Civil War in the mid-17th century, when it was held by the crown. The Hungerford family certainly had an interesting history: In 1523, at the age of 20, Walter Hungerford III inherited the castle. Walter locked Elizabeth, his 3rd wife, in a tower starving her and repeatedly tried to poison her. It is documented that Elizabeth had to resort to drinking her own urine to survive. Over time rumours surrounding the treatment of Elizabeth leaked. Walter was beheaded on 28th July 1540. His head was mounted on a spike at London Bridge. The last Hungerford to own Farleigh Hungerford Castle was Edward. His gambling problem created great debts. Edward was forced to sell to Sir Henry Bayntun in 1686. The castle and land were sold for £56,000 equating to around £7,750,000 today. In the 18th century the castle fell into decline. In 1702, the castle was sold to Hector Cooper, then passed to the Houlton family in 1730. The Houlton’s dismantled the castle walls and distributed its contents for salvage. By the the mid-18th century the castle was in ruins. The castle’s chapel was repaired and re-established in 1779 but two of the castle’s main towers had both collapsed by the end of 1797. Over time though the site gathered archaeological interest. In the 1840s Colonel John Houlton, turned the chapel into a museum of curiosities. Visitors could come and see artefacts from The English Civil War. As well as letters between Walter Hungerford and Oliver Cromwell. In 1846 Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte even came to see the ruins. Over time the castle past to various owners and fell into further ruin. At the start of the 20th century the castle was smothered almost entirely by ivy. However these unique ivy covered and tree populated ruins proved popular with artists. Over the years various works were undertook to restore elements of the castle, some more popular than others, and the artists eventually lost their romanticised ruined looking castle. In 1983 English Heritage took responsibility of the site. English Heritage now manage the ruins, I’ll add a link in the description. I visited early before the site opened to the public. If you go during opening hours you can explore more of the ruins. There is also a shop and exhibition space with displays and an audio tour. Thank you for reading and walking along today. If you haven’t please like the video and subscribe. Do leave a comment, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. You can also follow me on Instagram. Support the channel by buying me a virtual coffee, there is a link in the description. It gives me great pleasure to share my walks and make places like this more accessible. I hope we meet for another wander soon... maybe in Greenwich x

Hello. I hope you are keeping well. It has been a while since I have uploaded a walk. I contracted COVID-19 at the start of 2022. I have not done any new walks since then. This is a walk from October 2021. Originally I wasn’t going to upload it as I wasn’t happy with the quality. I miss sharing walks with you all though, so have revisited some of the footage and edited it together. Our walk today is around Lacock Abbey. We have a stroll outside and then go inside. It is early morning and I am one of the first visitors. Lacock Abbey is managed by The National Trust. Please check their website for admission prices and opening times. I will put a link in the description. Staff and volunteers were very helpful, approachable and amenable. A lot of places in the UK rely greatly on volunteers, giving their time freely. Lacock Abbey is situated in Lacock Village, Wiltshire, England and is almost entirely owned by The National Trust, preserved over the years as if it is in a time-capsule. Many visitors come to Lacock and the abbey from all over the world. Some come for the history and some because they are Harry Potter fans - the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies have both shot scenes at the abbey. Other productions such as: Pride and Prejudice (1995), The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) and Wolf Hall (2015) have also used Lacock Abbey as a backdrop. Before the modern age of cinema Lacock Abbey was founded in the 13th century. It was a nunnery from the 13th to 16th century. In the 16th century the dissolution of the monasteries happened, meaning - Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents, and friaries in England, Wales, and Ireland. This meant the abbey was sold and converted in to residence, changing the covent into a country house. Thankfully the original courtyard with surrounding cloisters and chapter house remains, with the residence having been built above or around these areas. Over the centuries the abbey has had several renovations and alterations, including its Tudor stable courtyard and Georgian Gothik Arch. In the 19th century Lacock Abbey was residence to William Henry Fox Talbot - a scientist, inventor and well known as a photography pioneer. William made one of the earliest surviving photographic camera negatives - a photograph of one of the the abbey windows. As well as the abbey you can visit the Fox Talbot Museum, devoted to William’s pioneering photographic work. In 1944 artist Matilda Theresa Talbot, granddaughter of William, gave the abbey, its grounds and village to the National Trust. Matilda continued to live at Lacock until she passed away in 1956. It is well documented that during her time the abbey and estate flourished. I’ve added a link in the description if you would like to read more about Matilda.

Hello and thank you for joining our early morning walk. Today we are in Corsham within the county of Wiltshire. Corsham is in the south-west of England, on the edge of the Cotswolds. Today we start our walk at 7:40am, the sun is rising. It is winter in England and there is a chill in the air and a frost on the ground. We started our walk over looking Corsham Cricket Club and the local school in the distance. We are now on South Place. In front of us we can see the distinct Corsham Almshouse and Schoolroom, a Grade 1 listed building dating back to the seventeenth century. It provided accommodation for poor people and education for children. There is also an exhibit room, warden's house and stables. The Almshouse was founded by Lady Margaret Hungerford, who lived with her husband Sir Edward Hungerford in Corsham Court. We will soon walk through the tree lined path of Corsham Park leading to Corsham Court. During the Saxon period Corsham was a royal manor. During the reign of Elizabeth I the estate was passed out of the royal family. In 1745 Sir Paul Methuen bought the estate for his cousin from Sir Hungerford, it has remained in the Methuen family ever since. The current house (court) was built in 1582 by Thomas Smythe. In 1761–64 Capability Brown was commissioned to redesign and enlarge the house and landscape the park, though he died before it was completed. In 1795 Humphry Repton was commissioned to complete the landscape. John Nash was commissioned in 1796 to further embellish Brown’s work. In 1960 Corsham Court was declared a Grade I listed building. The park was recorded as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in 1987. Corsham Court is a privately owned stately home with a significant art collection, though it is open to the public at certain times, I will include a link in the description. Corsham Court has been used as a filming location on several occasions, including: Kubrick's Barry Lyndon 1975. Tess of the D'Urbervilles 2008. The Remains of the Day 1993. The town’s streets were used for BBC’s popular 2015 Poldark adaptation. If you plan on visiting, Corsham is about 100 miles / 160km car drive from London. Sadly Corsham train station closed in the 1960s. The nearest train station is in the neighbouring town of Chippenham. There is a National Express bus service from London. In the 2011 census Corsham was recorded as having a population of 13,000. With the average house prices around £359,000 in 2021. In medieval times Corsham prospered from the wool trade. It maintained prosperity by the quarrying of Bath stone, via underground mining. During WWII and the Cold War it became an administrative and manufacturing hub for the Ministry of Defence both above and below ground, utilising the disused stone mining tunnels. Some of the disused networks are fascinating, I will add a link. In recent times Corsham has become a significant national digital hub, in-part due to the MOD. A £2.5 million project provides incubation space for digital entrepreneurs, start-ups and growing SMEs. The town also prides itself on its local produce, independent shops and restaurants. There is also an established creative community within the town, a creative Market is held on the 1st Saturday of every month. I’ll let you enjoy the rest of the walk.

Hello and welcome to an end of year compilation. In this video there are some sections of walks that you may have seen before and some that I haven't uploaded before, or edited out of the final movie. The Winchester part of this video includes all unseen clips this was because I had to change my route while walking as the path around the cathedral wasn’t open at 6am in the morning. This has happened quite often when walking around old buildings as some paths are closed between dusk and dawn. The Corsham section is from a video that I edited together and wasn’t happy with the so haven’t put it on the channel. I have done a more recent Corsham walk that I will upload soon… with a gorgeous sky. There are also a few Bath walks that I have filmed but not uploaded, again this is because I am not confident with the quality. I have uploaded 15 walks to the channel this year. At the beginning of 2021 the channel had under 100 subscribers. At the end of 2021 is has over 18,000 subscribers. Amazing! I am full of thanks and gratitude. The idea was to make places accessible to people and to present them in a calm and relaxing way. I read every message and try and reply too everyone - from people who love history and England, to people in lockdowns who can’t leave their home, people who enjoy walking along on their treadmills, people wanting something calm and relaxing to help their anxiety, and some people who can no longer walk due to illness. There have been some very touching comments and messages. The channel has given me a greater perspective on the world and enhanced the realisation of how fortunate I am. I’ll keep walking in 2022 and I’ll increase the uploads from 15 in 2021 to 26 in 2022 - one every two weeks. I have a growing list of places to visit but please do suggest anywhere. For so many of us travelling has been hard since 2020 hopefully the world will start opening up a little more in 2022. Uploads coming soon are: Corsham and Covent Garden. Trips coming up further afield from where I live in Wiltshire are: Manchester and Sussex in the coming months. I had a trip to Copenhagen cancelled in 2020 and hope to go in 2022. Thank you if you have subscribed this year, watched and liked the walks. If you follow me on Instagram I hope to add more content in 2022. If you’d ever like to buy me a coffee there is a link in the description it helps support the channel and I do seriously love a coffee. I am also saving for a new gimbal and lens to improve video quality. Thank you again for joining along on the walks this year. It has been a pleasure to have your company along the way. At times I feel that the views, likes and comments are carrying me on the walks. Thank you again. Bye bye 2021 and hello 2022.Beautifully lit Bath, Christmas lights tour 2021everywhere is imagined2021-12-08 | This walk was filmed on 29th November 2021.

Hello and thank you for joining our festive evening walk. Today we are back in Bath. I thought it would be nice to have a look at the Christmas lights. It is 7pm and there is a cold chill in the air… I need thicker gloves! We start our walk at north end of the popular Milsom Street. We then take a left on to Green Street and make our way towards Bath Abbey. Though I do get distracted and walk done The Corridor, a little indoor shopping arcade. Most of the shops in Bath tonight are closed, as we move closer to Christmas some will stay open later for shopping. When we approach Bath Abbey it is lit a striking red, beautifully accentuating its gothic architecture. Bath Abbey from the air, or in plan view, is cruciform in shape resembling the cross of Christ. The Abbey is classed as Perpendicular Gothic architecture, popular from the late 14th to mid 16th century known for its broad arches, elaborate fan vaulting and large windows with vertical ornamental stonework. As we carry on our walk there is a twinkling Christmas tree in the Abbey Churchyard and you will notice that the lights on the Abbey subtly change colour over time. We then walk past the classic Pump Room restaurant and wander around the Abbey Garden square, after which we fade to black… When quickly return outside The Theatre Royal where people are cuing for: A Christmas Getaway - a Frantic festive farce inspired by P.G. Wodehouse, Noel Coward and classic British comedy! We then get a little distracted walking around the glowing lights of the maple tree and walk past The Little Theatre, a lovely little cinema that shows independent films. We finish our walk outside the Thermae Bath Spa, a combination of contemporary and classic historic stone spa fed by thermal waters. It also has an open air rooftop swimming pool. The Bath mineral water springs are the warmest geothermal springs in Britain. The springs were utilised greatly by the Romans and were responsible for the popularity of Bath as health resort in the 18th and 19th century. For additional facts about Bath please watch my previous Bath video: Bath, England a night walk around the historic city in 2021.
I’ll stop talking now and let you enjoy the rest of this walk. Thank you walking along today. Christmas is a popular event and acknowledged by many across the world. As I get older I see it as a time to be still and take stock of the year that has gone, appreciating quieter moments and thinking of others, acknowledging kindness and being grateful, especially during these potentially hard and sometimes lonely times. Enjoy the rest of the walk, I appreciate you for joining in today. We are never alone, together we are strong, Adam x

Hello and thank you for joining our early morning walk. Today we are in Arundel within the county of West Sussex. Arundel is in the south-east of England, within the picturesque South Downs an area of chalk hills that covers 260 square miles along the south-eastern coastal counties. The time now is 6:50 am, sunrise is in 40 minutes at 7:30 am. It is the middle of November and there is a crisp chill in the air. As you can see the Christmas decorations have been put up! Today we started our walk in town on Tarrant Street, we are then heading out along the River Arun for a short while. After the river we head back into town, walk via some residential areas towards Arundel Cathedral. During our walk we catch glimpses of Arundel Castle, currently closed until April 2022. Arundel is a two hour drive from central London, depending on traffic. It is approximately a 1 Hour 30 minute train journey from London, Victoria Station. The seaside resorts Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and Worthing are within easy driving distance. In a 2011 census Arundel was recorded having 4,298 residents. In 2021 property prices averaged £476,804, roughly £2,000 over the national average in England. Arundel is a very well preserved town with lots of history. It also prides its self on its independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants and cafes. In 2017 Arundel was also named the top mindful destination to visit in the UK. There are lots of outdoor experiences to enjoy, like walking across the South Downs, cycling or paddle boarding on the River Arun. 2017s Wonder Woman film was filmed at Arundel Castle, for the New York castle scenes. The Young Victoria (2009), with Emily Blunt and the The Madness of King George (1994), with Nigel Hawthorne were also filmed at Arundel. Looking back Arundel was an important market town during Roman and Saxon times. For nearly 1000 years Arundel’s port along the river was the lifeblood of the town, importing exporting goods. Arundel Castle was built by the Normans and is perfectly situated overlooking the town to see any oncoming invasions. The castle is a restored and remodelled medieval castle with parts dating back to 1068. The castle and cathedral (that we will see later on) are both Grade 1 listed buildings. The architectural style of the cathedral is French Gothic, designed by Joseph Aloysius Hansom. Building work commenced on the cathedral in 1868 commissioned by the Duke of Norfolk, who holds the seat of Arundel Castle. Thank you for joining in and walking along today. I hope you enjoyed finding out some information about the area also. There were some truly special moments this morning that I felt deep gratitude to experience, like the sun rising over the river. I have done my best to capture these moments by stopping to adjust the aperture on the camera. I hope these soft fades in-between cuts don’t interrupt the flow of the video.

If you ever feel like buying me a virtual coffee there is a link on my YouTube page, please do not feel obliged though.

Hello and thank you for joining our early morning walk. Because we are in Wales the bracketed text is the Welsh translations of the place name. Today we are walking the Carmarthenshire coastline (Arfordir Sir Gaerfyrddin) along the Loughor Estuary (Aber Loughor) in Llanelli, south Wales (De Cymru). The Market Town of Llanelli is about a 1 hour 30 minute train journey from Wale’s capital city - Cardiff (Caerdydd) and around a four hour train trip from England’s (Lloegr’s) capital city - London (Llundain). This morning it is 8:30 am, we are walking about 600 metres, which takes around 12 minutes. Today I have parked at the Millennium Quay Car Park (Maes Parcio Cei’r Mileniwm), there are good walks in either direction from here along the shoreline. From there you can walk the Millennium Coastal Park (Parc Arfordir Milenwm), it has good wide accessible open paths. I have cycled and ran out that way and been most fortunate to enjoy some glorious sunsets. I love visiting Wales (De Cymru) and am pleased to be back. This morning there is a beautiful sky overhead, the sun rising in the east and there are grey moody clouds over the estuary. There is a gentle breeze on my face and I greatly appreciate breathing in the fresh crisp air. I am grateful you can join me along on this walk, I hope you find it relaxing and that it brings some peace in to your day. As we walk the Loughor Estuary (Aber Loughor) is to our right. The estuary flows from the River Loughor (Afon Llwchwr) the source of the river starts in an underground lake under the Black Mountain (Y Mynydd Du) - a mountain range in Wales (De Cymru). The river meets the sea at the beginning of the estuary near the town of Loughor (Casllwchwr) about a 12 km walk from here. In the 18th century the salmon and trout from the River Loughor were fished and taken to nearby Swansea Market, the fish would have been packaged up and taken on a 12 km pony or horse ride to be sold there. Sadly in the 19th century the fish population died away, due to pollution and industrialisation. Today the estuary is still used as a natural resource. Cockle gathering brings in valuable trade to villages along the shoreline. Anyone can gather a bucket of cockles for their own personal use, commercial fishing is limited to small numbers to keep it sustainable. If you do ever wander out on to the estuary at low tide make sure you are with someone and / or someone knows where you are. The local area has a rich and interesting history. In 1987 military documentation was downgraded from ‘Secret’ to ‘Restricted’. It explained that during World War II an anthrax bomb was dropped over the salt marshes of the estuary as part of biological weapons test. These days if people are out spotting flying objects in the sky they are most likely birdwatching. During our walk today we can hear some of the birds that visit the estuary, such as oystercatchers and curlews. The estuary is a SSSI - a Site of Special Scientific Interest, due to the unique flora and fauna here. There is lots to explore and I hope one day to visit the Whiteford Lighthouse on the other side of the estuary. An unusual lighthouse made in cast-iron and built in 1865. Thank you for joining the walk. I have great affection for Wales and it is lovely to be able to share some of it’s beautiful scenery. I hope you found some of the information interesting also. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel. Do leave a comment, it is always lovely to hear from you. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people. I hope to be able to take you on another walk soon.

Hello and thank you for joining our night walk. It is 7:20 pm. Today is a little different to our usual quiet early morning walks. Because of Hallowe’en I thought we could have a night wander. Unlike the US we do not celebrate Hallowe’en much in the UK in the more provincial areas door-to-door Trick or Treating is common. During most of our early morning walks we don’t encounter many people, in this video though we do see more people out and about. Tonight our walk starts on the outskirts of the city, we then make our way into the centre of town where people are walking around the streets, socialising, dining out and having drinks. The city of Bath is located in the county of Somerset, England, in 1987 it was selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Bath is roughly a 120 mile car drive from central London, by train it is about 1 hour 20 minute from Paddington station. Bath has a growing population of around 90,000. In 2021 the average property price is £532,700. Bath is one of the UK’s most prosperous areas. Pre-COVID tourism was high in Bath, in summer the streets would be busy, it’s ancient Roman baths, Abbey and Georgian architecture are popular attractions for visitors. At Christmas the very popular Christmas Market would bring life and festive cheer, this year (2021) the market is on virtually, on-line. Travel and tourism is slowly returning, the streets are still beautiful and full of history to explore. The hot springs of mineral-rich spring water of Bath spa date back centuries ago. The Romans built the first baths in 60 AD, but the springs were established before then. The first Abbey at Bath was founded in the 7th century and was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th century. In the 17th century Bath became popular as a spa town as talk of the medicinal properties of the spring water grew. During this time the Royal Crescent, Circus, Pump Room and Assembly Rooms were all built, from the beautiful gold-like Bath stone. In the 18th century the city grew in popularity and was a fashionable place to be. Jane Austen lived in Bath for five years in the early 19th century. Her novels ‘Persuasion’ and ‘Northanger Abbey’ are part set in Bath. During her time here Austen attended the theatre, concerts, public breakfasts and balls as wells as the Pump Room. In the 20th century in World War II, during the Bath Blitz, over 400 people were killed, and more than 19,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Buildings were either restored or built in a new modern/classic hybrid style. Houses in Royal Crescent and Circus were burnt out but thankfully restored. Since 2000, new buildings in the city have included the Thermae Bath Spa and the SouthGate shopping centre. Bath has been used for may filming locations. The new Wonka film is being made here. Netflix’s Bridgerton, BBC’s Poldark, Amazon’s The Pursuit of Love, Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, The Remains of the Day and The Other Boleyn Girl have all been filmed around Bath. I hope you enjoyed finding out a little bit about Bath while we walked around. If you haven’t already please like and subscribe. Do leave a comment, it is lovely to connect with people all over the world. If you ever feel like buying me a virtual coffee there is a link on my YouTube page, please do not feel obliged though, it simply gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people. I hope you enjoy the rest of the walk.

The text below is captioned within the start of the video if you enable CC (subtitles).Hello and thank you for joining our early morning walk. It is 8:30 am. Today we are walking in Wiltshire, in the south-west of England. Our walk today takes us from the small village of Avoncliff to the hamlet of Turleigh… and back. We start at Avoncliff where the Kennet & Avon Canal crosses over the River Avon and the railway line via the Avoncliff Aqueduct. The aqueduct is Grade 2 listed and was constructed between 1797 and 1801. John Rennie was the Chief Architect and Engineer, he also designed Waterloo Bridge in London. Mr Rennie built the aqueduct to avoid using the more commonly known canal lock system for going up and down hills. The aqueduct has had a troubled history, with numerous leaks and petitions to close it during the 18th and 19th century. In 1954 after a major leak the aqueduct was drained. In 1956 a petition was presented to the Queen to re-open it. In 1980 restoration work began. The Kennet & Avon Canal Trust and British Waterways completed the work in 1998. In the 1840s Isambard Kingdom Brunel constructed the Great Western Railway between Bath and Westbury. It must have been a site to see here at Avoncliff as they had to bore (dig) under the canal to build the track. Avoncliff Halt station opened along the track in 1906, and was originally only a wood structure. We’ll visit the platform towards the end of the video. It is the only aqueduct to have it is own railway station. Trains from the platform go to Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Westbury, Weymouth, Bath Spa, Bristol and Gloucester. A train to London Paddington would take about two hours, changing at Bath Spa station. Originally you had to wave the trains down to stop for you on the platform, since 2011 it has become a regular stop. If you ever make it here the pub and tearoom are lovely. Do check the opening times before you make a trip though. In a while we will leave Avoncliff, walk down the road a little and head down a bridleway. Bridleways can be used on foot or on horseback, quite often the ground is a little more uneven than a normal footpath. The bridleway will take us to the hamlet of Turleigh. Traditionally in Britain hamlets are smaller than villages and do not have churches. Turleigh Manor was established in the 17th and 18th century and during this time prospered. People living in the hamlet would have been the likes of quarrymen, stonemasons and tanners. Turleigh is now residential only. The pub closed in 1952, the bakery in 1957 and the post office in 1970. There is however a library, see if you can spot it later on. For such a small area Turleigh has some lovely unique period buildings. If you were going to visit either Turleigh or Avoncliff I would recommend walking, cycling, canal or train the roads are very small, mostly single car width, with many tight bends. This was one of my favourite morning walks, I had never been to Turleigh or Avoncliff before. I felt a lightness and happiness in my step knowing that I was going to share this with you.

Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 7:00 in the morning, today we are walking around Malmesbury. Malmesbury is a town in the north of Wiltshire, in south-west of England. It is quiet now. The High Street will be busy soon as the food market is about to be set-up. Malmesbury is a 100 mile drive from central London. The nearest train station to Malmesbury is Chippenham. The town with it’s Abbey sits proud at the top of a flat hill. The River Avon splits south just before Malmesbury with the River Avon flowing west and the Tetbury Avon heading north. Malmesbury is believed to be the oldest continually inhabited town in England. During an archeological dig remains of an Iron Age Fort were found indicating people living here as far back as 500 BC. Many of the buildings in the town date back to the 17th and 18th century. The Old Bell Hotel next to the Abbey is the oldest hotel in England, it has been offering food and a restful night to visitors since 1220. The main feature in Malmesbury is the beautiful Abbey. The Abbey was founded in the year 675, by an Irish monk - Saint Máel Dub. The first church organ in England was built here by a Saint called Aldhelm. By 1066 Malmesbury was a well established town of great importance being particularly well known as an encouraging place for learning. In the 11th century a monk named Elmer flew nearly 200 metres from the Abbey tower with self made wings, before crashing to the ground and breaking his legs. The current Abbey was built in the 12th century and originally had a 130 metre tall spire, sadly the spire collapsed during the 15th or 16th century. In 1651, during the English Civil War, Malmesbury was fought over at great length you can still find cannon and gun shot scars on the external stone walls of the Abbey. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries the town flourished producing fine silk and lace. Today the main employer in Malmesbury is the Dyson company, with their headquarters on the edge of town. I feel truly fortunate to have been walking around these streets this morning. Thank you for joining me on this early morning walk and finding out a little bit more about the town. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. If you have never been to Malmesbury I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. If you have been before I hope you enjoyed casting your mind back as we walked around. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.

Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 6am in the morning, today we are walking around Bradford on Avon. Bradford on Avon is a town in the west of Wiltshire, in south-west of England. It is quiet now. It can get busy later in the day and is popular with tourists. Bradford on Avon is just over 100 miles drive from central London and can be a two to three hour train journey from Waterloo Station, London. Today we started our walk along the Kennet & Avon canal now we are walking around the old Grade 1 listed Tithe Barn. The barn was built around the 1330s and is one of the largest of its kind. Taxes in the form of goods would have been taken from the towns people and stored in the barn. Originally the barn was owned by Shaftesbury Abbey in 1539 the abbey was dissolved and it became a farm. In the 1970s the barns were purchased by Wiltshire Council. The barn is usually open everyday from 10:30am to 4pm and is free to the public. Check times on the English Heritage website if you plan to visit and would like to go inside. As we carry on we walk over the River Avon that runs through the middle of Bradford on Avon. In the 17th and 18th century the river used to power wool mills, and Bradford on Avon prospered. Later the English woollen industry moved north to Yorkshire and the last mill here closed in 1905. Today the old mills have been converted into shops, restaurants or housing and the river, like the canal, is mainly used for leisure. During the day the you may see rowers or paddle boarders up-and-down the river. We eventually leave the river and head into the centre of town, where we meet the road. The main road through Bradford on Avon can get quite busy, a well used route between the town of Trowbridge and city of Bath. First though we wander down some alley-ways and side-streets coming out at the Holy Trinity Church, built around 1150. When we meet the river again look out for the larger old mill buildings along the side of the river. Bradford on Avon has so many interesting old historic buildings you could spend all day soaking up the history. Movies and TV shows that have been filmed here include: Robin of Sherwood (1984), Creation (2009), Wolf Hall (2015), The White Princess (2017), Amazon Prime’s The Spanish Princess (2019) and Netflix’s Cursed (2020). At the end of our walk we can see the Grade 1 listed Town Bridge. The bridge was originally a narrower packhorse bridge and widened in the 17th century. In 1643 during the English Civil War, Royalists seized control of the bridge on their way to battle. There is a small building on the bridge, originally a chapel, later used as a town lockup (prison cell). Thank you for joining me on this early morning walk and finding out a little bit more about the town. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. If you have never been to Bradford on Avon I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. If you have then I hope you enjoyed reminiscing as we walked around. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.Historic & Picturesque Winchester an English Cathedral Cityeverywhere is imagined2021-08-25 | This video was filmed on 26th July 2021 using an iPhone 12: amzn.to/3D5vxHZ

It is 6:00 in the morning, today we are walking around Winchester. Winchester is a cathedral city in the county of Hampshire on the edge of the South Downs National Park in the south of England. Today we start our walk next to the River Itchen. In a couple of minutes we see the fast water flowing under a restored 18th century mill. Winchester is full of history, we walk past lots of interesting places and finish our walk around the cathedral, it's grounds and surrounding buildings. First though let's have a little walk around the city. Soon we will see the striking statue of King Alfred the Great. In the 9th century King Alfred changed the Roman street structure of Winchester establishing a new grid system to provide defence against invading Vikings. We then have a wander in the Abbey Gardens park, where St Mary’s Abbey once stood it was the largest religious house in England before being demolished by order of King Henry VIII. The Abbey Gardens are now a relaxing public park area with benches to sit on, a play area and cafe. At about halfway into our walk we get our first glimpse of the cathedral. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building, which means it is a building of exceptional interest. The cathedral has stunning gothic architecture and is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. The original cathedral was founded in 642, surviving several viking attacks. In the year 901 the second cathedral church is completed. Building of a new Norman style cathedral starts in 1079 and is completed in 1093. In the 14th century elements of the building are reworked into a more impressive gothic style. In 1640 during the English Civil War the building is trashed by soldiers. In 1817 Jane Austen, aged 41, dies in Winchester and is buried in the cathedral originally her gravestone had no mention of being a writer over the years extra memorials are added to celebrate her work. At the beginning of the 19th century the cathedral walls are breaking apart. In 1906 a deep sea diver called William Walker starts work to save the building working for 6 hours a day, for 6 years in the pitch dark he stops the water flooding the building to pump it dry so the foundations can be rebuilt. The cathedral has a fascinating history, these days it is a popular tourist destination. It has also been used as a filming location for Netflix's The Crown, Dan Brown’s mystery thriller The Da Vinci Code, starring Tom Hanks, the acclaimed BBC miniseries adaption of Wolf Hall and an episode of The Ruth Rendell Mysteries. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. If you have never been to Winchester I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. If you have then I hope you enjoyed reminiscing as we walked around. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.A beautiful relaxing morning walk to historic Pevensey Castleeverywhere is imagined2021-08-13 | This video was filmed on 4th August 2021 using an iPhone 12: amzn.to/3D5vxHZ

Hello. I hope you enjoy this video. It is 6:30 in the morning, today we are walking into Pevensey. Pevensey is a village and civil parish in East Sussex, a county in South East England. As we walk the sun rises and clears the mist from the surrounding fields. The grass at my feet is damp from the morning dew. The air is crisp and fresh. There is nobody around. In the distance we can hear wildlife and the occasional car or train. I feel fortunate to be walking here and appreciate every moment. On our walk into Pevensey we cross a couple of streams and a train track, the East Coastway Line travelling between seaside towns Eastbourne and Hastings. Pevensey has a fascinating history. When we arrive in Pevensey we see the ruins of the Roman fort and the castle inside. The Roman fort was built in 290 AD to counter attacks from barbarians, like the Saxons. The Romans built eleven of these forts in the South East, now known as Saxon Shore Forts. After being trashed by raiders at the end of the 4th century the fort was abandoned. During the 6th century the fort was re-inhabited and over time the town flourished. In 1066 nearby Pevensey Bay is where William the Conqueror landed to invade England. In the 11th, 12th and 13th century the castle was besieged several times. In the 15th century Queen Elizabeth I, unsuccessfully, ordered the castle to be demolished. During WW2 the British Army used the castle as a look-out to spot approaching German aircraft. Today the fort and castle are looked after by English Heritage. The area between the Roman fort walls and outer castle walls are open all day, every day. The castle itself is open at specific times, details will be on the English Heritage website. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people all over the world. I've got one more video coming from my recent travels and then I'll be back walking in Wiltshire. If you never get the chance to travel to Pevensey I hope this video brings you closer to it. It gives me great pleasure to make places like this accessible to people.Biddestone a quiet, beautiful secreteverywhere is imagined2021-07-29 | This walk was recorded on 15th July 2021.

Hello. I hope you enjoy this video. Today we are walking around Biddestone. Biddestone is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, in the South West of England. The parish lies just within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As we walk around we see buildings in the village from the 16th, 17th and 18th Century. Biddestone has an idyllic village green with duck pond and two pubs. One of the buildings on the village green was once a 16th century cloth factory. The church of St Nicholas that we pass is Grade I listed, it's doorway and windows date back to Norman times, and it has a 13th-century bell turret. After looking at the ducks on the pond we walk to the other side of the village where we can see the sunrise over the sports field. The village has been used as a filming location for Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death (2014)! It is about 5:30am, most people are asleep, apart from the occasional passing car. The faint distant noise of the M4 motorway can be heard but most of the noises you hear are birds greeting the gorgeous morning sun, when we arrive at the sports field we can hear a buzzard calling out. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people. Please suggest a town or village you would like to see more of in the South West of England. If you have never been to Biddestone I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it.

Hello. I hope you enjoy this video. Today we are walking around Tetbury, a town and civil parish in the Cotswolds, in the South West of England. Tetbury is situated on the site of an ancient Anglo-Saxon hill fort, dating back to 681. In the Middle Ages Tetbury was an important market town for wool and yarn. As we walk around you will see the distinctive Market House built in 1655, it is a raised pillared building, still used as a meeting place and market today. Most of the buildings in the town date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is lunch time and there are plenty of places to choose to get a drink or some food. COVID-19 restrictions have eased in England so it is busier than a month or so ago. The lovely weather has also brought people outside. I only had a short time in Tetbury but I'd love to come back and make a more detailed video. Please do leave a comment, or like the video, it is lovely to hear from people, you can suggest a town that you would like to see more of in the South West of England.

Today’s video was filmed on an iPhone 12 with an OSMO DJi gimbal. Graphics/titles were added using LumaFusion.
There are closed captions in this video, they start at 7 minutes 30, below is a transcript:
Hello, today we are in Bristol, looking for three pieces of art by Banksy, we’ve already seen ‘You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky’ and ‘Well-hung Lover’, we are going to walk a bit further along the harbour-side finally arriving at ‘Girl with a Pierced Eardrum’.
‘You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Build Castles in the Sky’, was painted in 2011, the words have been re-applied over the years. The simple smiling face, with the two outflow pipes for eyes, is less obvious now as one of the pipes have been bricked over.
‘Well-hung Lover’ appeared in 2006 on the side of a sexual health clinic. It is the first legal piece of street art in the UK, sadly it has had various attacks on it over the years.
As we continue our journey we will walk by the Mshed (museum) which is now home to Banksy’s ‘Grim Reaper’. It was originally painted on the side of the HMS Thekla, and removed in 2014 and is now on loan to the Mshed.
We eventually end up at ‘Girl with the Pierced Eardrum’, this artwork was painted in 2014 it is the most intact of Banksy’s work we see today.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of Banksy’s work, if you have not had the opportunity to see it in Bristol. Thank you for watching, take care and be kind.Bristol, walking along the quaysideeverywhere is imagined2021-05-11 | The text below is captioned within the start of the video if you enable CC (subtitles).
Hello. I hope you enjoy this calm relaxing walking video. Today we are walking around The Quayside in Bristol. Bristol is in the South-West of England with the River Avon running through it. The quayside or harbourside area used to be a bustling dock with sailors and merchants. It is now a cultural hub with cafes, restaurants, galleries, museums, shops and hotels.
Today we start our walk along the Bordeaux Quay. It is April 2021 the UK is still in strict COVID-19 restrictions so most places we pass are closed or have limited access. We then walk over Pero’s Bridge which has 100s of locks hanging from the sides. Pero Jones was an enslaved African who lived in Bristol in the 17th century. We carry along Narrow Quay, passing the Arnolfini Arts centre. The Arnolfini has a rolling program of contemporary arts events with an excellent specialist art bookshop and café bar.
As we carry on we walk over Prince Street Bridge, a Grade II listed swing bridge that is still regularly used by pedestrians, vehicles, cyclists and boaters. We walk down Princes Wharf passing the M Shed, housed in a 1950s' dockside transit shed. The M Shed is a museum with exhibits examining the history of Bristol city and its people. Finally, we journey through Wapping Wharf with its selection of shops, contemporary coffee houses and eateries. We round-up our little morning stroll by walking over the Gaol Ferry Bridge. The bridge replaced a row boat ferry in the 1930s and is named after a prison nearby.
If you have never been to Bristol I hope this video helps you feel a little closer to it. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of this video. Adam

Hello, I hope you enjoy this calm relaxing video. Today we are walking through Castle Combe. The village is in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, located in South-West England, within the county of Witshire. Castle Combe is often referred to as a quintessential English village or - the prettiest village in England. Castle Combe has 107 listed buildings for architectural and historical interest. The village is named after a 12th-century castle that once stood nearby.
It is very quiet this morning, we don’t see or pass anyone. We follow the main road (The Street) through the village and back. The overcast sky makes the sandstone brick of the buildings stand out. We see and hear lots of birds singing and chattering. We also pass over and walk along the small river “By Brook”. Castle Combe has been used as a filming location for Doctor Dolittle (1967), Stardust (2008), Spielberg’s War Horse (2011) and Downton Abbey (2010-15).

The predominant noise is the cars on the bridge. Pigeons fly from the bridge to the river bank. Pedestrians and cyclists pass us by. Some people are in couples, some on their own, we occasional see a dog with their owner. The shadows are long from the morning sun that glimmers on the pavement.
