Most Americans tend to think of one thing when thinking about visiting England, and that's London. However I am sure there are many more amazing places around England that Americans are not aware and today I am very excited to learn about them. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

I remember climbing up the masses of stairs to go and stand on the dome of St Pauls cathedral. it was absolutely worth the climb. I was 12 and on a weeklong stay at a youth hostel with the school I was at. these days, just getting up a curb defeats me, but, if I had my 12 year old energy, and a ton of painkillers, I'd do it again 😁 did Westminster too, but, none of us had any energy left to appreciate it - 2 cathedrals in one day plus 40 twelve year old kids = not a good mix!! we took in what our little minds would allow. (then piling into the underground back to base (Chigwell) fun. but damnit, we slept that night!)

London Cathedral? I think he means St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.Westminster Abbey is the cathedral for the City of Westminster. It is no longer allowed to wander through the henge at Stonehenge; I first went in about 1976 and wandered among the stones on a chilly April day when there were few people were about - fabulous! We can be particular about the way we pronounce place names but I think Bath can be pronounced the way you normally say bath! Pubs and taverns are essentially the same but the technical term Public House came in with the Licencing Act of 1872 (I think). The Pavilion in Brighton, a royal palace, was used as a hospital for Indian soldiers injured in the First World War. If you ever come, don't make the mistake of trying to do everything just because UK seems a small country: select an area and do it properly and leisurely.

I live about 12 miles from manchester city centre at the start of the Peak District. So that ticks two of your boxes. And yes I do go walking around that area a lot. And yes it is beautiful to visit. As for Manchester City Centre - any visitor should check out John Ryland's Library (my fave building in Manchester), Manchester Town Hall (my old office, I worked there for a couple of years, beautiful) and the oldest (that's to say the first) passenger railway platform in the world which is part of the Science and Industry Museum. Quite close to some Roman ruins. Quite nice.

Westminster Abbey is, as you say, not a cathedral. It's an Anglican church formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster and is a Royal Peculiar directly responsible to the sovereign. The third missing cathedral is the other catholic one - St George's Cathedral in Southwark opposite the Imperial War Museum. There are also several Orthodox Cathedrals in London: Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, Georgian Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox and Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox.

The Cotswolds is a region in central-southwest England, along a range of rolling hills that rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden-coloured Cotswold stone. The predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, towns, and stately homes and gardens featuring the local stone. Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in 1966, the Cotswolds covers 787 square miles (2,038 km2) making it the largest AONB. It is the third largest protected landscape in England after the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales national parks.

Awww, yay, I'm so glad my town, York, made it onto one of your videos! It's a beautiful city, and I often take for granted how I can see all its historic sights any time I want. You should definitely do a video based on York as it has so many interesting facts and historical moments. Some fun facts: York was briefly the capital of England before London & we used to be called Eboracum back in Roman times & Jorvik during the Viking era. The medieval street, The Shambles was one of the main inspirations for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter & it has many themed HP shops down there today. The bar walls, also known as the city walls, and the old historic gates such as Micklegate, Bootham etc used to have the heads of enemies placed on spikes above them as a warning to possible attackers. In 1664 New York was named in honour of The Duke of York. When we went to New York years ago, Americans loved hearing we were from the "old York" 😊 Infamous highwayman Dick Turpin is buried in York. For quite a small city, we have over 450 pubs in the York region. Celebrities including Dame Judi Dench, Game of Thrones stars Mark Addy & David Bradley, and the composer of the James Bond movies, John Barry OBE are all from York. I could go on forever, so I'll stop, but we have thousands of years of history & we are a huge tourist hotspot after London, of course 😉

York seems to be my default 'you're not going to go there' destination. first time: school trip. the boys ruined it by shoplifting and getting arrested, spoiling it for the rest of us. 2nd time: church day out. never made it there. was involved in a pretty serious crash and ended up stranded outside a pub called 'fox & grapes' until we could get a replacement coach. five people hospitalised, one overnight - by the time we got our replacement coach, it was time to pick up four from Leeds General Infirmary. pub landlord was a total git. I wasn't the only kid on the trip - and he refused entry to us - even for bathroom purposes. so, hello nearby field. looks like my backside gets an airing!! 3rd time: York railway station to change trains. the person I was with ended our relationship not long after. 4th time - was halfway through paying up for a daytrip to York with a local community group - and then lockdown happened. I guess I wasn't destined to visit York... on the day of what would've been the most recent daytrip, a few of us did a 'tour' of York via streetview - laptop crashed. 🤷‍♀

Couple of things I'm surprised they didn't mention. Canterbury is probably as famous as York, and has an equally impressive cathedral. It also still has large portions of the protective wall that once surrounded the city. Also it's a lot closer to London than York, and is only 15 miles from Dover, if you were thinking of seeing the White Cliffs there. Talking of the cliffs of Dover, one of the best preserved Norman castles sits atop the cliffs (which I am surprised he didn't mention) and offers a magnificent view across the channel to the coastline of France, on a clear day of course.

The Jorvik (pronounced yorvik) Viking centre in York is definitely worth seeing. I remember going there as a child during a school trip and it’s stayed with me ever since (especially the smell of the place on the little tour riding thru the mock town). It’s amazing I remember when I was 14 I went on a school exchange to the US to stay with a family for 3 weeks, and the following year they came and stayed with us. Pretty much all of the Americans referred to English towns etc as “quaint” too. We took them to a proper stately home named Chatsworth House, just so they were able to experience something like that. Which they all really loved. Considering we were all 15/16 yr olds, it was actually something really enjoyable. Perhaps you’d like to see a video on that some time?

Hadrian's Wall was just one of two walls built by the Romans across the north of Britannia. The other is the Antonine Wall, about 100 miles to the north from the River Clyde to the Firth of Forth. Although fortfied along their lengths, neither were of significant height or construction to prevent invasion from the North, more of a deterrent to prevent raids for livestock.

Hadrian's Wall was 15 to 20 feet in height and 12 feet across. It had manned watch-towers about every one -third of a mile. It also had a ditch on the Barbarians' side, filled with sharpened stakes - about as effective as barbed wire. It would have been very difficult for Barbarians to breach. Antonine's Wall was not nearly so expensive, but also a pretty effective barrier.

Hi Tyler, 1. There is no London cathedral, there is St. pauls, anglican, Westminster cathedral catholic, and Westminster abbey, anglican. 2. Some of the stones for Stonehenge come from the blue mountains in south wales, they don't know how they moved them the hundreds of miles. 3. Liverpool has two cathedrals, one anglican one catholic, which was only built in the 69s. 4. The Cotswolds is generally an area covered by the counties of Worcester and Gloucester. 5. York is the home of the national railway museum of the uk , as well as York minster .6. According to archaeologists Hadrian wall was at least twice as thick and twice as high as what remains today! 7. Not mentioned but Manchester, the terminus of the first inter city railway in the world! 8. Bath is famous for the bath houses, there were springs etc. There before the romans, and they just took over the local dieties. 8. An inhabited bridge means some people are living there in dwellings. 9. Going back to London, the is the gherkin, the shard, a d the cheese grater, although the law two may be the same one, not a londoner, haven't been to London in 40 years, before all these spectacular building were built in the derelict areas of the defunct docks!.

A Tavern is a pub that serves food. Pub is short for Public House. Tavern is the more traditional name which is of Welsh origin, from the welsh Tafarn. When anglicised an f becomes a V. There is no V in the welsh alphabet. A single F in welsh is pronounced like a V in English. Also Bath is of Welsh origin too and it’s correct pronunciation is with a long A because in welsh it’s Bâdd. DD in Welsh is TH in English a an A with a circumflex above it denotes that the A is a long A, this is as a result of the words that make up the word, Ba + add. Because the first word ends in A and the second word begins in A, instead of spelling it Baadd, in welsh the vowels in situations like this are combined into a single vowel and the circumflex is added to let the reader know it’s a long A sound instead of a short A, so technically the correct pronunciation of Bath is pronounced with a long A

@@garybowers5724 well considering many languages actually take from Welsh, it’s very likely that the Germanic word originated from the welsh word too. Many Greek and Latin words were borrowed from welsh. The beauty of the welsh language being as old as it is, most of it words are original and not borrowed from other languages as is the most for most modern languages. You can reverse engineer welsh into their syllables and sometimes root sounds and each syllable/root sound is an abstract meaning because the word for that item or idea didn’t exist previously and because of this word construction you can easily determine if the word is of welsh origin or not. Unfortunately for some reason, language scholars refuse to even entertain the idea of using welsh, they will trace the words back to Greek or Latin etc but then say they don’t know how those words came to be in Greek and Latin, I say some reason, I know the reason but that’s a whole other issue going back millennia and the whole Roman Empire’s need for ultimate superiority and the idea that before the Romans, no civilisation existed, but like a said, that’s a whole other issue, lol

I know it's been a while since I was last in Liverpool, but, there are 2 cathedrals. went to both (along with other religious establishments as part of my 'confirmation'. the plus side was, learning to embrace all religions and learn a little more about them.) just glad that the 2 day tour was worth it. the food back then - less so. going back 43 years - and now I feel old!

I am surprised that Portsmouth wasn't mentioned with its great Navel History. Where the remains of the Henry VIII flagship Mary Rose is housed. As well as Admiral Nelsons HMS Victory, which is in dry dock and is still in service after 245 years! Not to mention HMS Warrior, the first iron-plated warship, but then that was launched quite recently, around 1859, I believe.

Stonehenge is fine to see but Avebury is much better as it is both much larger and fully open to the public for free (though the car parks do charge). Avebury also has a village inside it's biggest circle. Stonehenge is expensive to visit and these days you can only get near the stones during special events, like the Solstice.

The thing about Brighton (20 miles from where I live) was that it became the 'playground' of the Prince Regent who became George IV (1820), in the late 18th and early 19th century. It was convenient for London society (55 miles or so) and grew into a fashionable place. The Royal Pavilion (the Indian-inspired complex) was a seaside retreat for the Prince Regent built in stages between the late 1780s and 1810s. The remarkable stable complex for the prince's horses eventually became the iconic Dome Theatre.

Social media is full of people trashing London and telling people not to go there - so refreshing to come across an unbiased video in that respect. Capital cities across the world are crowded from Singapore to Rome; and full of tourists fgs. But London is magnificent and has so many parks & green spaces, and it showcases our historical journey down through the ages as well. Been watching reaction videos about 3 years and this is the first one I've come across that includes Brighton - even though the stock picture they showed is ancient...that old beachside ferris-wheel was pulled down years ago. Tyler made me laugh, though, conceding it might have a few non-Brit. tourists. Mate - we're an international tourist destination!! Right now (May) Americans, Italians & Spanish predominate. And "How do you get to the countryside?" Easily! You hop on a bus and go 10 minutes out of town🤣e.g. 10 minutes out of Brighton you're in the South Downs...miles and miles of rolling hills, Neolithic hill forts, breathtaking scenery. While the coastal walks atop those huge white cliffs are a 10 minute walk from that unbelievable Indian palace!!

Yeah, you use to be able to walk amongst and touch the stones at Stonehenge, but English Heritage stopped that, and it's roped off,.. except for the Summer and Winter Solstice where it's opened up for full access.. I'm sure you can find some cool videos of, at least, the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge; there's alot of singing, dancing, drumming, and a ritual. English Heritage does a free livestream since the pandemic too,.. one to watch the sunset and then another to watch the sun rise over/through the stones.. pretty cool 😎

OK, here are those all important answers you've been "waiting for". Each in turn as per your video - 1) tavern / pub / bar. The bar is the counter where you get your drinks and order your food. In most night-clubs, you'll hear people say "let's go to the bar and get the drinks". You can stay overnight at many pubs, but a tavern has no overnight accommodation. We don't use the word "tavern" very much, mostly only in the tourist world. 2) places like Oxford and Bath can be done in a day from London, but York is an overnight affair - it's half-way to Scotland. 3) local people pronounce Bath as you do - even though it's a day trip from London, you'll find the accent different. In about half of British regions, such a word a Bath you'll hear pronounced just as you do. 4) your confusion about the bridge - local people live or work in buildings actually on the bridge.! 5) cotswolds - mind the roads - if you look closely in your video, you'll see - many of the roads are wide enough for just one car. If a trailer of sheep meets you, be prepared to back your car into a field.!! 6) Hadrians Wall - Americans DO have a famous wall, so no need to be jealous. Donald has promised to finish it off when he gets back.!! 7) white cliffs of Dover - another highlight is you can see the coast of Europe. France is just 29 miles away. In the evening you can see the house lights twinkling in the setting sun, and in the morning take the ferry over and meet the house occupants (you'll need to speak French). 8) personally, I don't like stoney beach Brighton. For Londoners, Bournemouth is much more elegant, beautiful soft sands with beach cafés, backed with tropical gardens. Google - "alum chine beach gardens, Bournemouth".

Lots of other places to go, as well. Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast, with its ruined Abbey on the cliff top overlooking the North Sea. The Abbey was the seat of St Hilda, the harbour famous as the home port of explorer and map-maker Captain James Cook and the town itself is where Bram Stoker had Dracula coming ashore after the wreck of the Demeter in a storm. Beautiful and the home of jet (a soft black gemstone much used in funeral or mourning jewellery after it was made popular by Queen Victoria when her husband, Prince Albert, died). The Lake District in the North West of England near the border with Scotland. Durham with its World Heritage Site cathedral. Cambridge with its really beautiful ancient Universty colleges on the Backs. The North Yorkshire Moors (and its heritage steam railway). The Yorkshire Dales (think of the Vet series and films, and the Bronte sisters' novels - Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights etc). Chester (a Roman city with walls like York, and its own Shambles, as well as an amphitheatre). The counties and coastlines of Cornwall and Devon. The list goes on... (The countryside is everywhere within easy reach. The Cotswolds are just an example of the countryside to be seen, in their case within easy reach of Oxford and Gloucester).

Hi Tyler I’m just a typical average Brit who absolutely loves your videos and I know you love the eccentric things us brits do and enjoy well I would like to recommend you to the wonderful world of hilarity that is Graham Norton’s commentary🎉on the “Eurovision Song Contest” I know you did one on Eurovision itself. However you won’t get the full experience (because it’s generally considered a bit of a joke in the UK (mainly because we get 0 or nil points) Graham Norton seriously makes it. There are many compilations on you tube including one where the hosts of the show surprised Graham by calling him out on his acerbic (being kind!) comments by filming him live!!!it’s safe to say that since the late great Terry Wogan’s job (presenter since the beginning of the contest). Graham Norton is THE reason us Brits tune in year round. Comments such as “Just watch this bit” and “oh I though she’d finished, wait there’s more and now I think she’s finished, thank goodness! Oh no there’s more. I hope she’s finished now!” Seriously Graham Norton and the ridiculous costumes are THE reason to watch 😂😂😂😂. I’m gonna beg you on my little British knees to put together a compilation as I know you’ll be in stitches (laughing your little ass off. 🇺🇸VS 🇬🇧hilarious Graham Norton Eurovision Song Contest.

I feel like Yorkshire is either never or very rarely mentioned on lists like this, but our county is absolutely beautiful and has so much history, like the city of York in North Yorkshire that was mentioned in this video still has viking settlements and a Viking Centre to visit as it was the main place that the Nordics attacked during viking days. And West Yorkshire (the best part of Yorkshire, not just cos I'm from there...) has places like Ilkley Moore and stuff like that. You should watch a video related to Yorkshire in general because I think you'll be amazed at the beauty and history of it. Also 'The Cotswalds' isn't "The English Countryside", it's actually the Southern English country side. Yorkshire is generally considered the country side for Northern England along with Peak District. Also we have the best accents in the UK just saying...

The way he keeps saying about taverns and pubs when they are the same thing. Basically, all those places are down the bottom of Britain, apart from Liverpool and York. There are SO many other places to see all over the place. Wales, especially North Wales has amazing countryside and so does Scotland and many other places. There is a whole town built in North Wales called Portmerion that was filmed in the 60’s on the tv show The Prisoner and it’s made to look Italian style
