Other cities and sites in North of England that I love. Cities of Durham and Newcastle, very friendly people. For ancient history there are remnants of Hadrian’s wall stretching across the North, with some Roman forts dug up by archaeologists. In the Lake District there is Beatrix Potter’s house, very well preserved and was an inspiration for her books. If you have the time take the train up to Edinburgh from Newcastle

I agree! York is a great base for Northern England - you can train up to Durham, and visit the Dales, the Moors, Castle Howard and many other sites by car (or hire a taxi from the York Train station). We spent 10 days in Northumberland on our last trip and loved the seaside villages. Lovely people, nice B&B’s or small hotels, and much less expensive. It’s actually cheaper to vacation there than many areas in the US. I hope there will be a video about Chester… it’s on my list for the next trip!

Years ago, in my early 20's I dated a girl from Chesire for a couple years. I also supported Manchester united which got me very odd looks depending where I was. I loved the North. From the accent, the prices of things, the fact that as you have mentioned they have Gravy Chips which is a similar idea to our Poutine. Except they use Crinkle cut alot more than we do. The lakes district in my opinion is the hiking capital of England. Definitely a place to go if you haven't been already. The one thing I did find the south of England had better than the north however was the weather. I generally found the north really really windy and although not as cold as Montreal in winter, you did need a coat.

A visit to Blackpool on the North West coast is a must, especially if you have kids. Six miles of sandy beaches, three piers with all the fun of the fair, the iconic Blackpool Tower, a British Eiffel Tower. Lots of attractions such as a circus, a Sealife Centre, a rollercoaster theme park and great night life. It's our version of Atlantic City or Vegas for kids ! and few people from overseas know it's there. Accommodation is cheap as there are hundreds of small hotels and Bed and Breakfast Guest Houses.

I've visited the North last year with my dad. Newcastle (and Hadrian's wall) for a week and then a week of Liverpool and environment (so still loads of things to do on a future visit). It was great. Of course, we had exceptional weather (only 1 day of intermittent showers, the rest mostly sunny and around 25°C). There's a lot of nature there and indeed, almost no other tourists (or in some place, any people), which gives you the opportunity to stop on the road if you spot a nice sight. Anybody who's interested in Roman history should visit Hadrian's wall. We took the night boat from Ijmuiden (the Netherlands), which is great since you arrive in the morning well rested and ready to go. A very good option for people from The Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany as you don't have to drive all the way up from Dover (and can avoid London and the M25), which will cost you about the same time anyway.

The toilets are better up north and more accessible when you suffer from extreme bowel movements in public with it coming out of the bottom of your trousers like it’s decade old dog food. Here's some tips on how to get by up North. 1. Look for public restrooms in shopping centers or malls: In the North of England, shopping centers and malls often have clean and accessible public restrooms that are open to the public. These facilities are usually well-maintained and have ample facilities for your needs. 2. Use public transportation facilities: Public transportation facilities like train stations and bus stations also have public restrooms that are available to commuters and travelers. These facilities are usually well-maintained and are designed to accommodate a large number of people. 3. Visit tourist attractions: Tourist attractions in the North of England often have public restrooms that are open to the public. These facilities are usually clean and well-maintained, as they are designed to cater to a large number of visitors. 4. Check out local cafes and restaurants: Many cafes and restaurants in the North of England have public restrooms that are open to the public, even if you are not a customer. These facilities are usually clean and well-maintained, and can be a great option if you need to use the restroom while you're out and about. Overall, the North of England has a reputation for having more accessible and well-maintained public restrooms than the South. By keeping these tips in mind, you should be able to find a public restroom when you need one.

Definitely agree that the North of England doesn't enough love. I spend a lot of time in Newcastle for work and really love it there. As a huge history nerd, there are some massively important sites like Durham, Hadrian's wall and the Roman Forts, Bamburgh (Bebbanburg of the Last Kingdom fans), Alnwick, and Lindisfarne all within an Hour of Newcastle. 1-1.5 hours south and you have York and Leeds, not to mention beautiful countryside. Newcastle itself is worth a visit for the people alone, or maybe catch a NUFC match and witness just how much a town (toon) can love a team. Then you have Edinburgh a 2 - 2.5 hour trip away directly north or Glasgow a 3 hour drive away north west.

Hey, proud southerner here (albeit half northern because my mum was from Yorkshire) - I always find it annoying that people say the north is so much better than the south and that the people are always friendlier, but at the same time they can be rather annoyingly self-righteous. And don't just take my word for it, as the American author Bill Bryson put it "if you want to know your shortcomings, you won't find more helpful people anywhere." So yeah, they're not all universally friendly as some people (mostly northerners) would have you believe. Any chance on there being a follow-up to this video of 4 ways the south is better than the north? Y'know for the sake of balance? Sure, the north has the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District etc. but the south has the Jurassic Coast, the New Forest, Dartmoor and the English Riviera to name just a few. The south ain't all that bad!

It's an odd one really. I'm 100% northern but I've always found people to be friendly down south. I've never really come across the unfriendliness people talk about at all. Even in London I've mostly had very positive experiences. But my son's girlfriend is from Essex and she's recently moved north to live with him and she's always going on about how much nicer everyone is here. But when I've been to Essex to see her family I thought everyone was really nice. So I guess it's all personal really. The north has a hell of a lot more than the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, by the way.

Some of the funniest people you'll ever meet are scousers ( people from Liverpool for those who don't know) but generally people from the north tend to be more rounded and have less of a misplaced sense of self importance than people from the south.

Also the North is very densely populated from Manchester and Liverpool up towards West Yorkshire and Shefiield but is then the complete reverse when you get to the other side of Leeds with The Yorkshire Dales, Bowland Forest and the Lakes.

You sort of touched on it when talking about space, but for me it's really the landscape that makes the North great. The South also has beautiful and unique landscapes, no doubt about it, but personally I'd say the North wins on that count. Of course, England in general loses to Scotland for raw natural beauty, but I think the unique thing about the landscapes of the North is that they provide a (literal and metaphorical) middle-ground between the almost entirely tame, gentle landscapes of the South, and the much wilder and remote landscapes of the Highlands.

I am English, born and brought up near London, but for the last 52 years I have resided in Nottingham which I find definitely 'Northern'. Prices are generally far cheaper than in southern England. I agree with everything else Mark says. But on point, the South is definitely better than the North, PUBLIC TRANSPORT. In the south the trains are fast, frequent and usually electric. In the north they are slower, less frequent, and usually diesel. In the south buses are generally plentiful, though the fares are high. In the North, even in tourist areas such as the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, buses are generally less frequent, no evening service, and sometimes no Sunday service.

I wonder if by the South you really mean London. They have the best public transport in the UK - note that it was the one place that Thatcher didn't sell off the public transport to the highest bidder. Anywhere outside of London is not going to have the population of London or the money that TFL has. Is public transport uniformly better than the north outside of Greater London? Is it great in Bath, Bristol, Southampton or in rural Kent or Cornwall? I live in Manchester and we have public transport that almost equals London. We had the £2 cap on bus fares before the govt brought it in for everyone. We have the most extensive tram system in the UK and our mayor has initiated a public transport policy of bringing all transport under the umbrella of the council to produce a co-ordinated system something similar to TFL.

The contrast between Cornwall (and Devon) on the one side and tourist areas in northern England such as the Lake District and North Yorks is stark!

I'm currently in Moscow, obviously most people think England is sh1t and the people are sh1t, I tell them not to confuse the northerners with the southerners :) Football lives in the north

Another great video Mark. We have been to Bath & London many times and just love it over other European countries we have been to. But when you talk about Northern cities I’d like to investigate them if you would provide names. Thank you.

Our host has done videos on Liverpool and York, or if you want bigger cities there’s also Manchester and Leeds*. Those four (and their surrounding counties) more or less define the southern border of the North; if you wanted to get _further_ north to the Lake District or Hadrian’s Wall, then you’d probably want to home-base in Carlisle or Newcastle. Mark also mentions Chester; you could argue thats either North or Midlands. The Midlands are great too, same general idea: less crowded and pricey, still plenty of neat things to see. It’s not as action-packed as London of course, but a good value for your money. * they’re each about 3 hours from London by train, so if you want to split your time or it’s just easier to get in & out via Heathrow, that’s not a problem.

Hi Mark Not sure I agree with this. I'm from The South yorkshire and now live in Chesterfield. I'm going on Vacation to London/Essex border on Friday to visit my best friend who is from the south. By the way I hate gravy on fries. Curry sauce every time.😂
