Hi David. Nice to hear from you. Your story reminds me of the legend of Long Compton, "If Long Compton I can see, King of England I will be." Hope that gives you a jog down memory lane? I also remember watching them re-thatch the lych gate at St. Peter St. Paul 2011 or 2012. Great to see how much the area means to people. Cheers, Rich

He's a interesting note for you. There's a book called "Though the Lych Gate" ( www.amazon.com/Through-Lych-Gate-Rainsberry/dp/0900093064 ) it was written by Rev. Rainsberry who lived in Long Compton. My mother typed it for him. I've actually been inside that Lych Gate. Thanks for you great guide.

Wow! Thanks, I'll look into it.

Really interesting. Love stories like this☺️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks very much indeed for the feedback, greatly appreciated, cheers. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides Thank you, really enjoyed the video and learned a quite a bit, thank you, cheers from the USA!!

Thanks again glasslide , we're also based in the USA . Pa.

Rafaela, Appreciate you noticing my "signature!" Good luck with the move. You'll love it. If you need any advice, feel free to contact me at rich@tourguidestravelguides.com Cheers, Rich Jones

I initially took a different view, your "signature" came across as 'spivy' but then realised it was your scouse humour! Excellent video sir...

Rafaela Sariego, you’ll need more than a BIG bag of money to buy even the smallest house. Good luck anyway.

@@gromit3315 Oh...well....dreams never die lol

Rafaela Sariego, true. Keep dreaming, so do I. And costs nothing. 😉

Thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition & thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated. Best wishes Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Zainab, sorry for the delay in response, we have been out of town for the week. Many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition & particular thanks for the positive feedback, greatly appreciated. Stay safe and stay healthy, Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

It is quite a contrast, Harry. Thanks for the comment, Rich

So glad to hear you are going back. This area deserves some quality time spent exploring. We have created personal itineraries for many clients at a reasonable rate. Just reach out if you need us to do that for you. Cheers, Rich

Thank you Glenn kind words indeed, greatly appreciated. Hopefully in the near future we will be able to travel freely again & I would love a long weekend in the Cotswolds. Best wishes and stay safe and healthy. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides

Thank you friend, I appreciate that.

Cheers Clive. Thanks for watching. Rich

Thanks mate. Spread the word. Let me know if you guys want any help planning your itineraries. In the UK, we'd say Rates for Mates. My wife says, in the US, it's I'd give you guys a deal. You guys can really get to some special sites on motorcycles. Enjoy! Cheers, Rich Jones

"Rates for Mates"! Perfect. I'll be in touch. And thanks again for the video. The video details and stories from history are amazing. I finally understand what the English Civil War was about. Mark

Whenever you're ready, drop me an email at rich@tourguidestravelguides.com Glad I could entertain and inform. Look forward to hearing from you. I bet you'll be travelling through Liverpool, my hometown, to get to the Isle of Man. I could give you some great recommendations! Plus I have solid contacts there even though I am now currently based in the States. I try to get back every year. Cheers!

Thanks for the offer to help us out. For the first few days, I'm sure we'll be plenty busy sorting out how to ride safely on the left side, so your recommendations for great pubs, villages, and places to sleep will be welcome. Yes, we will catch the ferry to Isle of Man at Liverpool, so your help navigating that great city will be excellent. I'll stay in touch by email from here forward. Thanks Rich!

Appreciate the compliment

Thank you David. Much appreciated, from a Brit living in Northeast Pa!

oh, northeast pa. i used to visit that area (honesdale) quite frequently. best to you.

Beautiful area. As we begin American football season, I get quite excited. I am learning to enjoy Friday Night lights in the Fall.

Much appreciated!

Vanda, I do not know if you have ever had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful place, but, if you haven't, I highly recommend it. Just recently, a lovely couple I met through this channel visited the Cotswolds and allowed me to make some recommendations. I was honoured to get to connect them with some great people and sights there. They had a splendid and relaxed time. So many tourists race through in a day or a few hours. I was thrilled they truly took the time to really immerse themselves in the Cotswolds. It is the only way to appreciate the stunning scenery, architecture and hospitality. Each village has its own personality, history and pace that should be experienced independently.

Tour Guides Travel Guides Dear Rich, I'm planning a trip to England. ..I might go in 2019 with some friends. And Cotswold will be in our "places to visit ".. .I will contact you for sure, it will be very helpful. Best regards💖

My email is rich@tourguidestravelguides.com. I'd be happy to help. I can give advice or I can create a comprehensive tour for you all. We have an expression in England-"rates for mates." FYI, I am now, and have been for many years, based in the US with my wife and family. Just curious where you are located?

Tour Guides Travel Guides Brazil, tks very much.

Anytime!

Praise indeed Christopher. I thank you sir !

Will do! Cheers Rich

Will do. Sounds like a lovely thing to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

no worries!! its where i come from so i know all about it:D haha! enjoy

EmilyAlice ☺️

Thanks Stan for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition. Yes that one always got a laugh when I was doing for real.

Oh Arielle, a woman after my own heart. These are all slotted and on the drawing board. Liverpool, I must admit is first on the list, so keep your eyes open.

Liverpool please.

Weather is shit in all of those places.

Many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition and sincere thanks for the feedback greatly appreciated. Rich Jones, Tour Guides Travel Guides.

@@TourGuidesTravelGuideshey just subbed . Are you ok . Love the vids .

Our rates are affordable and there are different packages to choose from. Message me here and I'll send you my contact details. You'll have a great trip regardless, Rich

Thanks for watching & also the comments Keith. Congrats on the engagement. I bought my wife an antique art deco bracelet at a jeweler in Burford which she loves. Not only are the Cotswolds an area of outstanding natural beauty but a place wonderful antiques, unfortunately not many bargains to be had these days. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Good point John!

So nice to be able to trace your heritage

Can't say I have had the pleasure.

Quality advice right there Steve. Many thanks. Rich

It is originally called Triumphal Gate. Locally, it is known as the Woodstock Gate because, as you leave through it, you would be going to the town of Woodstock. Thanks for your kind words and views!

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides Great video! Looking forward to watching more.

The crashed aeroplane was Armstrong Whitworth Whitley bomber, Z6639

Syed, You can travel there on a budget and still get a taste of real England; however, I would imagine buying a piece of authentic England would cost quite a bit.

SYED ADEEL HUSSAIN There are Premier Inns and plenty of cheap B&B’s all over the UK. So exploring the Uk is possible on a budget. Especially in the Cotswolds. Make up some sandwiches and a thermos and you’re good to go. But for those who do decide to visit, even on a budget, they must treat themselves to a pub lunch and an English cream tea whilst they’re there. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Thank you Alexander greatly appreciated my friend. Keep well. Rich Jones

Thank you White Green . Stay safe and stay healthy in 2021 . Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides

Elizabeth, Appreciate the constructive criticism. Taken on board.

Tour Guides Travel Guides That’s the spirit!

This would depend on where in the Cotswolds you were wanting to use it. It is not he best place in general to get from point a to pinto b. If you give me an itinerary, Ill try to be more helpful.

Roberto, many thanks for watching our Cotswolds edition & thanks for the information, I was not actually aware of that very interesting indeed. I was aware the flag of St. George had been in use in England & particularly the City of London since about 1190 & possibly had been inspired by the 3rd Crusade. Stay safe and stay healthy. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Myles, many thanks for watching & commenting on our Cotswolds edition. The " American lady " was a tongue in cheek hint to our friends across the pond, a large percentage of our viewers & the vast majority of my clients . Jennie Jerome, born Brooklyn N.Y. January 1854 (?) To Leonard & Clarissa ( Clara ) Jerome. Also known as Lady Randolph Churchill & indeed the mother of The man voted as the greatest ever Briton I believe. Cheers Rich.

Simon, many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds edition & also thanks for the valid question, greatly appreciated. To use a couple of my catchphrases, so here’s the story & you can completely trust me on this one ! We did indeed film at Minster Lovell on a particularly beautiful morning & I have to say it was one of our better pieces as there is so many great stories there & at the church . On our return over here in the good old US of A , North East Pennsylvania if you need to know we went into the studio to start putting it all together & that’s when we discovered that all the audio from there & a couple of other locations was completely shot & completely unusable. So there you have it mate . We will be back over next summer, obviously Covid permitting , for a well earned family holiday for 4 weeks & the plan is to do some more filming. More Cotswolds stuff for sure including the unfinished business. Any suggestions would be welcome Simon . All the best. Rich Jones, Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Thanks for watching this episode & sincere thanks for the concern. Staying safe & healthy at home in North East Pennsylvania. Best wishes to you. Rich.

Stewart, Thank you for the feedback. I am a tour guide and know nothing about filming. I appreciate the technical side of things, so all advice on that front is truly appreciated.

Nectafarious , many thanks for taking the time out to watch our Cotswolds weekend edition & thanks for the feedback. We at Tour Guides Travel Guides welcome all comments, good, bad & in your case indifferent to the absolute barking ! To address your thoughts, I have after 30 years in the travel industry, had a pretty clear idea to the boundaries of the Cotswolds & am not entirely sure to which trap in the Daily Mail “ The Worlds Greatest Newspaper “ you refer to, not a journal I ever read anyway. Perhaps you could enlighten me. I don’t think we over did it on any religious matters, however, the wool churches are a very important part of the Cotswolds landscape. With regards to the itinerary it is one of many that can be easily done in a weekend, as the title suggests. We do plan to come back over to the UK next summer to do some more filming & yes the Cotswolds has already been discussed. Finally to your other comment regarding Great Tew , admittedly not your typical Cotswolds village, darker stone, thatched roofs etc. but definitely on the edge of the Cotswolds, again I would welcome your comments as to why it is not. Thanks & best wishes. Rich Jones. Tour Guides Travel Guides.

Cecilia, thank you for the message. Leave me contact details here . I'll let you know that I have received them & them you can delete message them I can contact you. Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides.

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides pradono10@gmail.com

Received details thanks.

Now why would I want to do that ? What you see is what you get & I have absolutely no intention of changing

Great Tew

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides Great Tew is not in the Cotswolds and never has been.

Wife & son got me out of the UK. Real estate is just a side line. USA is home for the last 12 years

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides wow! What a life! You should continue with your video tours man, you’re a great presenter and your views hit numbers!!

Jamille, Muito obrigado por haver tomado o tempo para mirar a nossa edicao Cotswolds e apreciamos o seu comentário. O nosso propósito era sugerir um itinerário de carro de fim de semana numa das regioes mais pitorescas do Reino Unido. A nossa intençao nao era apresentar um tour histórico. Contudo, temos incluido alguns itens de conteúdo histórico, cultural e folclórico. Se aquel tipo de conteúdo seja mais ao seu gusto, invitamos-lhe a examinar outros dos nossos videos. Mais uma vez , obrigadinho pelo seu interesse. Disculpe que o meu conhecimento da lingua portuguesa esta bastante limitada. Rich Tour Guides Travel Guides

Jer1967- Obviously we are tour guides and not television celebrities. Our main goal was to get the information out. We are striving to improve our camera and other technical skills. Thanks so much for helping us on that journey with your highly constructive comments.

Why would we want to do that ?

As a tour guide, one of the biggest concerns visitors have is "Where are the bathrooms?" I guess it's human nature to want the comfort of knowing all your needs are met. I made it my mission in life to locate the "good" ones. Thanks for watching and noticing, Rich

We agree Jer1967. Spring and Summer are both beautiful times in this area. Unfortunately, as full time tour guides, we cannot film during that time because we are taking groups out.

Exactly, it would prevent ignorant Americans slagging off our weather. Even though it rains less in the Cotswolds annually than the majority of places in the States!

YES., & the gulping too. most annoying

Thanks for watching Dan & appreciate the comments. The UK does get a bad press about its rainfall, it doesn't actually rain all the time although we get enough to make us the green & pleasant land that we are . Unfortunately I only had a very small window to film our Cotswold edition before flying home to the USA & it happened to be that weekend which rained most of the time. Such are the vagaries of tourism. Best wishes Rich Jones Tour Guides Travel Guides

@@TourGuidesTravelGuides ... 3 years ago I did the Race Around Ireland (bicycle). Such an experience will teach why the west coast is called the Wild Atlantic Way.

You are an ignorant tosser! The Cotswolds get lots of sun in the summer and not alot of rain. Ireland is a different matter though.

Wtf? Can you say translate that to English please. ( I’m not hopeful).

Thanks again Jer1967. We truly appreciate the feedback and will use it as we make decisions for future videos.

Bram , well done that man with those comments you have conclusively proved that " empty vessels make most noise " 🤐
