Southeast England

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | Arcing along the southeast coast of England, we'll travel from Canterbury (with its famous cathedral) to Dover (stoutly fortified from Roman times to the Battle of Britain). Then we'll hike the trails that top the towering chalk cliffs of the South Downs, wander into the beachy resort of Brighton (England's Coney Island), and push on to Portsmouth, whose naval heritage has left it with the best collection of historic sailing ships anywhere. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #england

The 1st time I visited Dover was in the early 90s while on vacation from serving in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany. I bought a new Nissan Maxima and covered England and Ireland on one big Pub crawl. I recommend Tiddly · Fox Farm Brewery. Dover was the *best* place I have ever flown kites. I'd never flown a stunt kite in a smooth, strong, continuous wind like that before. I had just switched to a Prism kite that is particularly fast and was putting on a show for a woman and what I assume were her two children. I never got a chance to talk to them because, after a minute or two, a seagull decided to fly through _my_ flight zone and got tagged by like lines. I'd recently switched from nylon to Kevlar lines, and they almost cut that gull in half. A big puff of feathers, a squawk, and a woman running two crying kids to their car. Very memorable; I wonder if the kids still think of that; I'm positive that the woman does.

I'm an American that the chance to visit southern England. I found it magical. The cliffs of Dover were worth it all by themselves. As a history buff, there weren't enough hours in the day. Everything was awesome including the people. London, Portsmouth, Brighton, loved it all. One of the best trips I have ever had.

I can't get enough of English history, sites and culture. I must have lived there in some previous lifetime.

Every time I come to England it feels like coming home. I love it.

I teared up at the telling of Admiral Nelsons death. I am surprised at myself. I'm a yank. But I can fully appreciate true heroes. Admiral Nelson was one of the greatest the likes of which we will never see again.

My mum was from Kent and I love its beauty, and so clean too. I want to go back one day. All of the UK is beautiful. Tourists think its just London but there is alot more to this country that tourists miss.

I love England. I visited 8 months ago and as it turns out I'll be visiting again in less than 2 weeks. Such a fascinating place.

It's weird watching these when you live there (canterbury)you see the city on how tourist see it, you dont realise how nice it is

[holidaymoviecompany]

As a British viewer and subscriber to your channel, I am very impressed by your nicely produced films, especially the ones about the UK!

[annmills]

Happy memories of English countryside after living in Italy for 56 years thanks alot, take care.

The last sentence is a perfect summary of why Britain appeals so much to me. Sixteen visits is not enough to the lovely isle.

[mickeymouse]

I'm french, England is a country I hold so dear in my heart. But the problem is that English classes (in highschool) are boring. I'd like so much talk with natives.

[TheFever]

I’m British but live in the US and I yearn for all things British. Best place to live on earth. I miss it so much.

I love the smoothness in the voice of Rick Steves and his amazing narrative skills. Beautiful video! I've yet to tour England.

The absolute master of the travelogue - I can't believe how much information he crams into these 25 minute films! For those of us who prefer to travel vicariously, this really is going first class.

[zhimeipen]

This guy is a genius: !yes, indeed! This is the joyful way to learn English and travel . thank you !Rick Steve!

Mr Steve never stop doing this work...they're a visual support for my students' books. Maria Luiza Rodrigues Acerbi. Thanks God for a human being like Mr Steves! He accomplishes the difference!
