segment of travel tips thank you for having us again it's great to be here so for those who haven't heard the first part part one Mike and Chelsea from the viager feeling on YouTube and Instagram talked about just got brutally honest with some of the realities of travel vlogging and pursuing YouTube full-time and it's a great episode for someone to listen to who wants to get into that they want to travel YouTube kind of turn that into a passion and a hobby and an income stream um and they just talked about their travels all over Europe in some of the beautiful places they've been to so Mike and Chelsea travel tips we're talking about one destination so what destination are we talking about today so we are going to be talking about Wilshire it's the area that we grew up when we when we were younger and we come back when we come back to England so yeah it's got a lot of mystery around it so yeah well sure awesome now what made you want to talk about this destination today I think it's because not a lot of people really know about it do they like when you think of England you think of London and some of the the bigger cities and not many people really know about Wilshire and know about the the history of it sure now welshire is a great place for someone who likes what type of activities definitely being outside yeah yeah it's a lot of farmland and um there's a lot of nature involved in Wilshire it's in the south of England um and it's there's a lot of history as well and a lot of uh like mystery towards it especially if it's something like like a myth there's a lot of myths and if you like to know about myths or follow myths or uh get lost in the stories behind each of the places it's definitely a area to go to and also there's a lot of really old English Cottages uh in the CWS and um for a lot of the rest of the world they don't get to see this type of architect and it's really just Old English uh history with that cages and stone buildings and it's really beautiful isn't it yeah yeah sounds like a beautiful place and you know it's got a ton of different things for no matter what your interest level is so for someone to get the full experience of this destination how long would you say they should take to stay there um I would probably say a good full week um so each of the activities doesn't take too long um so yeah probably a good week and then if they want to see the rest of England yeah I think that would be okay yeah it's not a big place where you have to travel long distances to to each place so yeah oh very good and now as far as you know we know we need to spend a week there but what season are we going definitely summer definitely summer um England rains a lot um and there's not a lot of act indoor activities to do so to see these uh mystical places would definitely be in the summertime so probably between June and September would be the best okay very good now obviously you know for someone like us who's um in the states we if we were going to go we would be flying so we wouldn't take our dog however if someone's a little bit closer to this area is it kid-friendly dog friendly what do you see when you're there um yeah so it definely it's dog friendly definitely just keeping the dogs on the lead um yeah there's so many different walks that you can take there's in the summer there's poppy field um the kids would love it as well just because it's something completely different yeah there's not so many indoor activities to do is there no um yeah it's beautiful place to be in in nature and a lot of the farmers they make like Wild Flower um Fields uh like say poppy fields they make rape seed Fields so all the fields are bright yellow yes it's a beautiful place to to visit and definitely see from the sky as well oh very cool now as far as getting there so how are we going to be working around Transportation do we need cars how do you fly in what advice would you have for someone that's trying to plan a trip here I think if you're flying from uh if you're out of England definitely flying into to London one of the uh airports in London and there England's quite good for transportation so you could either get the train to one of the local towns but I personally would probably hire a car from one of the airports it's a huge farm farm place so from each destination um it's it would take uh about two hours each uh to drive so it's that a lot of it's not in walking distance so hiring a car will probably beneficial and because the the destinations that we're going to talk about um because they're not some some of them are not in towns or cities uh if you was to hire a taxi it's going to take quite a long time for the taxi to get to you or an Uber to get to you to take you to the next place anyway so yeah probably hiring car would be your best option if you could if you could hire a car yeah just getting through some of the language barriers hiring a car is that renting a car as opposed to like hiring a taxi or Uber driver uh yes okay sounds like that'd be more cost efficient to to rent a car in in our terms as opposed to drive having someone drive you two hours back and forth to where you're going glad we cleared that up now you guys have your motor home Luna do you camp when you're in this area is there lodging are can you find a house on Airbnb to stay in um there are a lot of places especially in the cwoods a little bit more expensive but they're absolutely beautiful little farm houses for us motor home wise we do struggle a little bit because it is farmland and because England has smaller roads and smaller layb but we we do get by don't we we there's no I wouldn't say there's any official campsites um yeah if there was there would probably be one yeah in Wilshire and the problem is with campsites here they're just pretty much grass and having a bigger vehicle when it rains a lot and then us trying to get off when it's muddy it's it's quite hard so we do try to use a an app park for night I don't know if you have that in America um and it tells you where other people have stayed and if they've had a problem or if it's been perfect if there's local water there to fill up so there are a few places but it's not as accessible as Wales or or Scotland or you will find some beautiful places to stay in um you'll find um cottages and airbnbs uh there'll be the odd Hotel um there's also a website called uh canopy and stars yeah and they advertise uh quirky stays um places like uh tree houses you can stay in for a night and yeah kind of kind of quirky stays where you wouldn't normally stay so yeah so there are places cool and we'll link what you the app you mentioned in the show notes below it sounds like it's similar to eye Overlander and the dirt we have over here in the states do you have Harvest host over there we've heard of it a few times but I actually don't think we have it in England really it sounds like with the Farms you're describing it' be a good opportunity for that because a lot of it is farms and wineries breweries that offer their land for people to stay at with the exchange of you just buying some of their product yeah we have that with a lot of pubs so if you uh or restaurants if you buy a meal you can stay in the car park but I think that works a lot better for um small converted Vans because everything in England is probably four or five times smaller than than America so our car parks are very very small and we take up four or five spaces so for us we we don't really do that but I know if you have a small little van you can go in have a pub meal and they'll let you stay in the car park for for free oh that's a good tip that is similar to you know if you have a harvest host membership um on the States you go have a drink at you know their Brewery and then you get to stay in in their parking lot which is nice so speaking of that we know that you know it's a very outdoorsy area it's beautiful for hiking and scenery and history but what about at night what about when that sun goes down what do you guys guys like to do in the town there's not much to do it's a big yeah like a big agricultural place there are um pubs to go to and in some of the towns you have bowling alleys and um like the cinema but there's not really um big places to go to I think if you go just outside of Wiltshire you've got Bristol and Oxford they have big gigs that they put on with with famous people and each one is only about an hour away and they have what you would normally have like aquariums and zoos and and Bristol has a lot of um has a lot of art doesn't it it's very well known for its art and being a bit more free so maybe if you did visit Wiltshire to make sure you go to Oxford that has a lot of history um Bristol has a lot of creative people and they do a lot of street art um on the sides of buildings and they're known for their graffiti graffiti kind of art uh but mainly it's like big murals of pictures proper pictures made by spray spray paints and stuff like that yeah and then yeah and then London is only an hour away from us so um yeah they have they have big big night life there yeah and I think that's a really good point is London's Orly an hour array and a lot of people will go to London and then think okay well I'm going to catch a flight or a train to another country or to somewhere else but you know if you're going to London you could actually drive that you know hour or two hours like you said and there's a lot to do in the Wilshire the Oxford area and especially for someone who likes history you know maybe doesn't want crazy night life which I think it you know our age none of us want overly especially if we are those nature enthusiasts but tons of stuff that you can do um even just extend your trip from London it sounds like yeah yeah and I I've I mean traveling other countries we've always noticed coming out of um like Capital Cities uh and going to other rural areas you get to see the the true side of the country and the the real people that live there as well yeah yeah and I think that's important too is you know feeling part of that culture and getting to experience not just those those highlights that everybody goes to see but you know come into the smaller towns and you know buy things from the locals and you know just enjoy that experience yeah yeah I'm glad you talked about all that because when I think England I think Big Ben London and rain so it sounds like I was half right because it is still pretty rainy over there but there is a lot of Scenic you know nature there's art culture things to do how far away is Stonehenge so Stonehenge is actually uh in in Wilshire and from from where we are right now maybe 45 minutes Drive yeah yeah again it's almost in the middle of nowhere yeah loads of farmlands surrounding it um yeah it's definitely worth the visit isn't it yeah but maybe try to pick a day that's not the weekend because it does get very very busy yeah I can imagine obvious you guys have been there many many times living So Close by how big are those rocks like you look at some photos and they look huge are they bigger than you expect when you walk up to them for me they are but I'm very small yeah they're they're very big yeah it does make you wonder how they lifted these things and got them over into that position yeah they're huge I have to ask a native's opinion was it aliens and whoever put them there got there somehow I mean we we once had a a king a long time ago Henry VII that actually was against um certain things and he wanted certain religions to be his way he actually collapsed all of Stonehenge and tried to bury it and then when he passed they rebuilt it again so I don't know whether it's actually in the same format as how it started out to be um but there's probably been a lot of changes happen in that area due to history yeah it is interesting for sure yeah well speaking of you know that and in the beginning you mentioned there's a lot of myths so if anyone likes myths this is a good place for them anything you want to note today so there's and they don't know why the farmers do this so there's a lot of things that go on about crop circles here as well and there's a farmer down the road that um makes his own crop circles I don't know how he does it something with his tractor and it attracts a lot of people um just to come and look at it really but there is a different feeling about um Asbury it's very and it's a kind of a mini Stone Henge it does have a very calming feeling and um it's all meant to be kind of funu the way that the stones are put and it's meant to bring a healing energy but yeah there is something very fing about that area yeah there's loads of different myths yeah so there's load I can go on and on yeah we've got loads of uh um chalk horses uh sorry um yeah chalk horses on the side of Hills um and these some of them were built uh over 4,000 years ago and there's myths like if you stand on the head of the horse and spin 10 times it's meant to give you good luck and stuff like this yeah it's quite interesting uh we keep these things restored um and you know miles from the distance you can see these uh massive chalk horses on side of hills and there's I think there's 10 in total yeah in Wilshire I think the first one they don't know how it was made and then towards the end like the eth ninth and 10th one they they were put in by us um maybe 50 to 100 years ago yeah it's it's something you don't really get to see very often it's quite yeah it's quite nice very cool we kind of have that like we're in Mystic Connecticut which is a pretty historic town so we have you know there's history there's weird fires that happen going with that kind of that paranormal alien theme do they have like ghost tours like haunted places for people who like that kind of thing there uh they're all ghost hores and I don't know much about them because that's my biggest fear but um at Asbury they have it's meant to be um the most haunted Pub in England all right yeah and and you can stay there in a room overnight yeah something I would never go and try I'm learning too I don't i' never knew that very cool see that's what this is all about yeah right a little bit for everybody it sounds like awesome great we'll transition to the 321 Countdown the final three questions of the podcast and if you've listened to the travel tips segment before we're changing these up a little bit because the 321 countdown we originally started the question three was what are three things to do in or around the area but what we were finding was it was repeating a lot of what we had already talked about so it was a little anticlimactic so instead of that we're asking what are three things you need to bring on your trip to Wilshire I think the first would be an umbrella even in the summer yep yeah just in case you never know when it's going to rain yeah some some hiking boots hiking boots yeah hiking boots are Wellies yeah probably and um probably I would say a backpack as well because you're going to be outside a lot um so whatever you want to pop in sandwiches on your hike or you want to go for longer any hiking gear so a lot of outdoorsy type of things but yeah I mean it's not as convenient as being in a town in a city where you could just go to a convenience store and buy some sandwiches or whatever it may be that you eat for lunch um so yeah a backpack is quite helpful cuz you may be in the sticks as we call it for a long time backpack and have some sort of a cooler inside of it so you can keep your food fresh because you're probably going to be going a little ways little while outside of having refrigeration and going on those long hikes so yeah what are two complaints or things people should be prepared for before visiting Wilshire going back maybe to the rain it can be miserable it really can be miserable and I think particularly in in this area of England yeah it gets muddy and I think that's the the biggest complaints we have from a lot of people is is the weather unfortunately um I think maybe just trying to get around um as much as possible like we said everything's quite spread out um it's not as convenient as uh you would you would think it would be so yeah probably the weather and and transport those are good tips and it sounds like you touched on earlier doing a week out there because not only because it takes a long time to go from place to place but also the weather if you're there for a week you might get you know two three days of sunshine versus if you go for a weekend you might get drenched so if you if you're preparing and you're looking up YouTube videos and photos of wil and it's sunny and beautiful be prepared that it might not be like that when you're there all right and one last question we talked about a lot of things to do in Wilshire but what is one thing if you had to pick one thing what is the one thing you simply cannot leave Willl here without doing probably Stonehenge I think yeah yeah seeing seeing Stonehenge and I think maybe also I know it's is a little bit off subject for for the kids they have um like lamming weekends where you can go and help at a college um where they have lambs and it's it's an amazing experience for kids to go and help with the with the animals oh very cool I think I would actually like doing that too come over at Easter you can help yeah there we go perfect now just last question I really have um since you said you know when if you're going on a hike bring that backpack pack your lunch where is there any place that you guys really like to eat or to get some sandwiches from to take um I think there's this lovely place is in there to have a steak to eat uh is it La carbonara La carbonara yeah oh my God it's the best place to eat anywhere like I've never had a bad uh meal there yes yeah um as for like sandwiches and stuff there's there's loads of places isn't there yeah there we've got quite good restaurants in the UK yeah just for soundwich and stuff maybe just a con just a convenience store and I think what hope is getting at and I think what this might be it's own section its own segment in its own cuz this has been a topic conversation our past like two travel tip segments what's your favorite ice cream place oh I I don't know that's that's quite difficult in the UK because number one we don't have many ice cream places yeah yeah like there is one that's actually about 10 minutes away from us but I think that's the only one in our town it's only open between April and October we don't really have any places doing no I think we have uh the ice cream trucks that come around oh yeah we we have ice cream bands for for children well good I think those are some important things to know those are the things where am I eating and where am I having ice cream those are always things I need to know when I'm going to travel so thank you for answering those um at any um Supermarket you can pretty much get the same ice creams as what you probably get in America I I've heard uh China is the best place for ice cream I don't know how true that is I have not heard that before what we have to test that theory out apparently they got the best ice cream in the world the best ice cream I've ever had is America and uh lanzerotti an island of Spain yeah yeah yeah it is well awesome guys this is a blast to know you guys both part one and part two talking about wilshore England I think a lot of people are going to find this very educational informative if they're planning a trip over there and don't forget if you haven't heard part one with Mike and

The Amateur Traveler talks to Keith Kellet about the area around his home in Wiltshire England. Wiltshire has been inhabited since the end of the last ice age and has a rich depth of history including the icon site of Stonehenge. Averbury which is an even older stone circle can also be found there as well as the Salisbury Cathedral and the ancient town of Sarum. Keith describes this verdant region with its chalky hills, its rich lowlands, its ancient barrows, and its industrial age canals. Wiltshire is only about an hour out of London on high speed train so it can even be visited as a day trip from your stay there. We have forgotten more about its history than we have remembered so its ancient sites are covered in mystery and speculation.
