You just can't emulate or copy this type of history and culture. It is magical. Nothing outside Europe comes close to the genuine article. Thank you for reminding me how proud I am of my heritage. I sometimes take it for granted..... x

Dara, I am learning so much more about the UK through Magenta Otter than I’ve learned in any other way. The detail that you show to us, I can’t think of any other program where it can be found. Thank you so very much. I love learning about the world.

WOW ! She she did it again .

that pigeon’s like, “You think you’re gonna tell me what not to do?” 🤣

The civilised perfection of the British countryside on show. THX

Such a great town!! Beautiful building!! The home with the dogs is so amazing!! Have to put this on the list of places we have to visit!!

Making notes about the hounds by the entrance. My future house needs those!

I used to go to Chipping Campden as a kid in the late 70s with my grandparents as we camped in their caravan nearby every year - theres a torch light procession every year , maybe sometime in May - well worth a look - I had'nt been there for about 40 years and went there about 3 years ago (2020) , its even better now you can really appreciate it as an adult (except for the part where i walked in to low beam inside one of the shops , i really could have done without that)

Well now, we can’t have Ian sad!!!!! Looking forward to this!!!!

Oo this is such a pretty one! I loved this village. The market hall is incredible. The houses are impeccable, I bet it costs a fortune to live there!! That church is incredible - we are so excited to spend some time here later this year. We just decide where now!!! 🍻

Fabulous church and churchyard - just stunning.

I remember this video!!! I would love to take off of work today and go to a dressing up box lol

Love that devils door!!!!!!!!

Hello Magenta Otter Travels! Thank you for showing me a nice video! I really enjoyed it! It's a very interesting video! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!

Wow, that is a gorgeous church, I just love all the stained glass. Thanks for sharing another lovely video of my favorite place, ENGLAND! : )

Amazing

I used to live 20 minutes away from CC. Regularly used to go to the Bantam Tearooms and the Lygon Arms. Pal of mine used to own the Citroën garage down Sheep Street.

That window is GORGEOUS!!!! 2 tons?!?! We would absolutely love to meet you there one day Dara!

What a beautiful town. The market hall looks so good bearing its age in mind. Thank you for showing us another British gem. Nettie.

Cotswolds looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Where else in the world could you have great fun checking out doorways and a drive through cartwash. Loved the dragon door knocker.

Wow very good presentation is perfect full support my friend

This was a town we have visited and was in awe the whole time!!! No 👠 or pigeons allowed. Your filming style is impeccable- especially the walk up to the church door

Wow really enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing it with us. Just found your channel a few minutes ago and I’m really enjoying it! Full support to your channel can’t wait to see more!! Like 111!!

Here in Western Canada we never see this old architecture! So interesting to see. Great music selection by the way! My dad's side of the family came from England. I have a very rare last name which I believe originates in Gloucestershire.

it was nice to see all the poppy wreaths around the war memorial.

'A Dressing Up Box for the Grown Up Lady' gets my vote!! 👍😀

Watching here again friend

Stayed twice at the Lygon Arns. First time a bit basic, second time much improved but a lot more expensive! Very close to the beautiful Sudely Castle.

Gorgeous, very nice video👍💕💕💕 a quality channel. I'm looking forward to new videos. God bless you and your family🙏🙏. I wish you healthy days. Let's stay connected. Greetings from Turkey and love 🇹🇷🌹🌹🌹🛎👉

Oh wow! This was incredible! Those thatched roofs were incredible, and the Church of St. James is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you so much for this wonderful tour!

With the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine, this was very soothing. Thank you both.

Absolutely fabulous, I don’t know why but Campden always seams to play second fiddle to other Cotswold towns and villages , especially Broadway You did a great job showing this stunning town at its best but you could have made a 1/2 video because of its history Campden house was burned down by the Royalists to stop Cromwell getting hold of their headquarters. As it’s so close to the church Cromwell thought the town had been sacked so did not attack it John Fereby helped found Eton Collage and also put money into forming Campden Grammer school , I went with over a 1000 former pupils to the 550 celebration . Hicks , Fereby and Townsend have all be involved with the school and have a house each named after them that the pupils join when going there The Campden wonder is a famous tale of a Tax collectors that went missing and then re appeared , unfortunately not soon enough to save the lives of 2 people who where hung for his murder , because of this there was a legal president that you could not be found guilty of murder without a body being found Robert Dovers games or the Cotswold Olimpicks ( correct spelling ) the forerunner of the modern day Olympics will have its 410 anniversary this May , with its famous shin kicking plus other games , then follows a torch light procession into the Town square with a fair on the Saturday So as you can see no ordinary Cotswold Town , I just love your vids keep them coming

I'm not sure I've seen a cartwheel dip before. Handy!

So beautiful!

those stained glass windows are remarkable!

I decided to have a look on Right Move (online real estate portal) and there's a gorgeous home for sale in Chipping Campden. Only £3,250,000 too. I must put an offer in. 😉 Gorgeous video by the way. I love the history of these places.

Nice sharing my dear I am your new subscriber 🤗

As always you create quality content. We always consider voiceovers, and may try it. Thanks 🙏

Ooh. I would love to shop at Chipping Camden! It looks so pretty! Loved the ‘Dragon house’ and the door! You took such great videos and photos Dara! The music you chose for the video is so fitting too 😊

Oh my, those thatched homes are out of this world! The market hall is an incredible centrepiece of the town. Shame about the pooping pigeon, lol!

*_Hi.my.friend!_**_I.Loved.to_**_ _**_watch.this.Video._**_!_* *_Thank You for Share it_* *_Keeep Going! You Are on Track!_* *_Best Regards, I will be back_*😍LIke 135

What a stunning view from over the stone wall to the top of the smooth rolling hills.

Outstanding video by you and Ian . You can see were the money as been spent in that Church ,almost a mini Cathedral . Also just imagine how grand Campden house would have been ,by looking at the grand gate house. I need to buy more lottery tickets ,for any chance of owning o property there.

An excellent tour of Chipping Campden, with your usual historical research expertly woven with local knowledge into your superb narrative: throroughly compelling viewing! Loved the soundtrack, and the two cameo narrations by Ian, including appropriate biblical reference! (I'm now more sure than ever that it's not Ian's camera-shyness that keeps his pieces to camera so few and so short, but his very high appearance fees! 😜) The whole programme was a nostalgic reminder of a Cotswolds cycle tour that included a stop at Chipping Campden. Thank you.

I am impressed that this church is so bright inside, but with those gorgeous glass windows, it's just impossible to stay dark!!

Beautiful 🤝🇹🇳🌿💐🌸🌷

Those gorgeous homes are a treat for the eyes. They also remind me of the chocolate and biscuit tins often sold in souvenir shops. Oh Dara I have that too, when I walk on cobbled streets of old or the market squares. I can almost hear the carriage and cart wheels, the horses' hoeves and the footsteps. The history so comes alive. Love the yellow stone, bit like in the south of the Netherlands ( Valkenburg) A natural resource much used to build iconic homes. As a child I was always confused about that saying Ian. No longer confused sadly enough. Those stained glass windows are a work of art. What a lovely sharing. Thank you so very much. A real treat on this lovely morning. 💖 🤩 🇳🇱 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇿

I stayed at rose cottage several years..and yes the owners name is rose. It was colder at that ti.e but the lounge always had a fire going and a cup of tea at the ready....

Your comment about not wearing 5 inch heels on cobblestones reminded me of the best bit of social media commentary that I saw recently. One of the journalists (Female!) reporting on the visit made by the Duchess of Cambridge to Copenhagen. Kate and Crown Princess Mary walked across a cobblestone square (little square cobbles, not the big flagstones) both were in high heels, the heels were not only high but also they were pencil thin stillettos! Much admiration was exclaimed from the female readers, 'How do they do it?" Do royal women have training sessions like an obstacle course? First test, walk across cobbles in high heels!

Can certainly see why the market hall is the main event when visiting Chipping Campden, it's gorgeous. Love the floors! Cobbled stones are very iconic. I'm loving this town, it's really lovely to see. And incredible that you've shared this with us as i haven't been around the Cotswolds, so I love living through the Cotswolds through you two! Thank you! Stunning houses around too, it's really beautifully filmed as usual Dara and Ian. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, looking forward to another new village or town to get lost in! x

"A dressing up box for the grown up lady" sounds so FANCY. If Jen ever grows up, she'll finally be allowed in!

LOL very ironic. That pigeon didn’t know the rules 🤣

That sign ain't the boss of that pigeon!! Also, the pigeon is now officially our spirit animal 😁

Glad to see you edited out the inside of the gents wc 😬 😉

I was wondering why the pub, you showed earlier in the video, was called "Eight Bells" Now I understand.... 👍

So much history, so much that I am so totally clueless about!! Thank you for all the info you provide in these videos, Dara -- and I know Ian is a big part of that too. Also, you chose some particularly gorgeous music for this one; I really liked it, and it fit so perfectly. 🎶🥰

A lovely video to start the weekend Dara. Thank you for being so informative and appreciative of our country. I'm 57 but I've yet to visit the Cotwolds. I must try to make an effort to see them this year.

Wow, what a place, those monuments are stunning! Your favourite Devils Door Dara!? Wow, high praise indeed. Great video as always! 😍👍

A really super video of Chipping Campden with a lot of information, a lot that I didn't know about! I have been in the Noel Arms Hotel, very nice!

@ Ian Great choice to quote Mark 10:25

Yet another great video: thank you so much for your posts! I may only rarely comment on them but I do watch them religiously! I don't know this village but my eldest brother lived in Chipping Norton, which is a bit further south, and I love the Cotswolds.

You may be interested to know the statues of the dogs at the doorways are Talbot hounds. The Talbot was a type of hunting hound common in England during the Middle Ages. It is depicted in art of the period as small to medium-sized, white in colour, with short legs, large powerful feet, a deep chest with a slender waist, long drooping ears, and a very long curled tail. Unfotunately the breed is now extinct.

Where to start? My imagination runs wild with thoughts of days past, the market to the breathtaking church and who might have lived in those beautiful thatched roof homes! Great video Dara!! ~Cara 😊

Hi there!! New friend here and loved your video! Great content on this channel. Love it. Wish you the very best. Would love to stay connected. Much Love from us. God bless you❤️❤️❤️

What?!?!? I’m first?!?! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ian’s right about Oliver Cromwell.Although I’d use stronger language.Thanks you two.

I know Ian is interested in gardens.Did you visit the garden in Chipping Campden dedicated to Ernest Wilson who was born there? He is one of Britain's great explorers, botanists and plant collectors. Several cultivars are named after him.

their is also chipping norton chipping sodbury chipping walden

I love the way your filming is so smooth - no jerkiness at all! Do you use a tripod?

So with Mr Grevel there has been an influencer in Chipping Campden before you 😁....but you are way more amazing!!!

I guess we need to make some "Chipping" videos instead of "Market" videos. So cool to see a phone box that still works.

Regarding walking over cobbles in high heels, have you seen the video of Princess Mary of Denmark and the Duchess of Cambridge walk over a cobbled courtyard in Copenhagen wearing stilettos? Okay, the cobbles were not as uneven as those in the market but still pretty impressive. Another interesting video, thank you.

Forgot the entertainment 4 pubs all serving good food 2 good hotels You can get Indian , Thai , Greek , Italian and I think French food as well as the traditional English fare

Have you noticed we're emulating your commenting style? DO YOU LOVE IT? Guess we'll end on this one as to not clog up the joint. We think of Dominic West whenever we hear Oliver Cromwell even though they probably look nothing alike. And your Devil's Door make us think of Being John Malkovich. Anyway, this was a lovely tour as always, nobody does it better!

love chipping Campden, shame about the parked cars on the street.

We are planning our first trip to the Cotswolds for a few days next year and staying in Chipping Campden. Still not sure if we will hire a car or not because we are really nervous to drive. I’m wondering do you think there’s enough to visit and see by foot and public transport from there?

Try saying "Countless Cotswolds" 5 times fast!

anybody else see Chewbacca in that altar hanging? 😂

Do you do your research before going to a place or after you've found the place ?

I thought "Heaven is a Place on Earth"

Maybe it is a Scottish pigeon, who wants to mark his protest!! 😂

But what if the Needles was off the coast of the IOW, and the man was rich in knowledge or wealth of experience 🤔

At least with a devil's door you'll know which way is North
