I was born close to the edge of the Peak District. They were concentrating on the natural wonders; but there is a ruined castle at Castleton, and a huge and beautiful stately home at Chatsworth. There are massive caves you can visit. The whole area is superb for mountaineering and caving. The pink flower is heather, which, when it flowers in September, can make whole hillsides purple. And, of course, our legal system of Rights of Way and Rights to Roam means that so much is accessible by paths you have legal right to use.

These are lovely locations, but, as ever, they miss many other beautiful spots such as Castleton's caves, the Monsal Trail, Buxton, Edale (which is the start of the Penine Way), Stanage Edge, Cromford and the Mills, where the industrial revolution began. Thank you for appreciating the UK and NI. ❤

There is a ruined castle at Castleton, plus several caves which can be visited. There is a popular “rock” called Blue John and I believe that this is the only known location of it. Also missing were the most popular dales in the Peak District. Dovedale, Lathkill Dale, Monsal Dale and many more.

That'd be Peveril Castle. The 'rock' is fluorite: Blue John is a semi-precious mineral, a rare form of fluorite with bands of a purple-blue or yellowish colour. The Romans mined it, and there are examples in museums.

There are more rainy days in Miami (at 135) and Orlando, Florida (117) than there are in London. New York City clocks in at 122 days and 1,268mm of rain. Washington DC, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, and Mexico City all have more rainy days on average in any given year than London.. In the rest of the country, according to the UK Met Office, the average rainfall in Britain is 1,154mm per year. On average it rains for 156.2 days per year (data from 1981 to 2010). However, some parts of England are much wetter than others, and the farther west you go the likelier it is you’ll need to pack an umbrella. The Scottish western Highlands get doused annually with over three meters of rain. There is a classified rainforest in Scotland! The Lake District and the Pennines in the northwest of England top the rainy charts too, as well as the mountainous Snowdonia area in Wales and the higher ground of the Cornish and Devonshire moors. I'm pretty sure it has become warmer and drier recently though

Did you know there are 5000 miles of canals and rivers in the Britain . 2700 miles of UK canals and rivers are connected up to form a waterways network . Hence one popular holiday / vacation is to hire a narrow boat to explore the canal network . The canal history goes back over 200 years when it was built to be the main transport for manufacturing materials and ware before trains or roads . The canals are now maintained for leisure purposes or many people even live full time on their boats . A cool video to check out is a Canadian couple who venture off for their first canal experience . Their adventure is over 4 videos well worth checking out for a unique view of beautiful countryside . The video is ... 4 Surprising Days On A Canal Boat In Wales - Ep. 1 .

Realy enjoyed watching your reactions, new subscriber today, watched three already, don't get to see to many Canadians on KZitem, so it makes for a nice change, England is a green and pleasant land, but theres a cost of rain and gloom for that, but some great veiws when the sun does show up, theres a long history on these islands and mans footprint, plus his animals have just about managed every square inch of the UK, (and Ireland) so do check out Scotland, Wales and Ireland too.

UK, we get period pretty wet times and also dry times too like 1540 Europe seen drought lasting 11 months, in 1808 uk seen 38c that was 50 million less people back then, 1906 heat began in August and lasted into September, 1911 heat began in early July and didn't let up until mid-September where even in September temperatures were still up to 33 °C, the 1955 was a period of hot weather that was accompanied by drought. In some places it was the worst drought on record, more severe than 1976 and 1995, 1976 one of the worst droughts in British history it just went on and on, 2022 we did hit 40c but i call it year airport records miles concrete and tar, like the first one to be broken wind from south east before airport was 36c just after airport 39.1c urban heat island effect and if we were built up as we are now in 1808 that would been 40c too. every now and again we get long hot spell over number years but weather rely a lot on the jet and all it takes is a locking pattern and we could get weeks wet even months or the other heat. and talking about rain According to the Met Office the rainiest parts of the UK are concentrated in mountainous regions with Snowdonia, the Lake District and the Scottish Highlands all receiving more than 4 metres of rainfall in a year that is a lot rain, but tend to get a lot rain more west as that where lot wet weather comes from. all it takes is a locking pattern and the weather locked in for a while, like 2022 heat was pushed more south and concentrated and heat built and built so when it push north uk we hit by a lot very warm air. we back in the same grand solar cycle what leading up to last one 1540 period and leaving it we seen crazy weather events we now back in this cycle we see every 350-400 years, from 1500-1800 forest fires in usa were 10x worse than modern times, the last decade could not add up to yearly burn from 1500-1800, expect things to continue to get worse till at least 2053 before starting to settle but that still take time, grand solar cycle we not seen for 100's of years
