We're starting with a beautiful village Bossington
here in Exmoor. Yes - and it's located in the so-called Porlock
Vale which consists of several really nice and charming villages. Yes and we're going to visit some of them. We're sure you will like it although as you
can see it's raining but it's not too bad. Yes. It's only really light rain. Yes. So if you want to stay here in Bossington,
we just stumbled upon this B&B and it's called Tudor Cottage. Looks quite charming. We're just walking past Bossington Farm and
they actually have apple juice for sale here and we're buying two bottles. We're actually buying three bottles so this
is pure apple juice and what we always do is we mix it. We we take a little bit of apple juice and
mix it with um, sparkling water and you have such a great summer drink. Bossington Farm pure apple juice. Okay. We're in a gorgeous tiny village called Selworthy
and our first stop is the tea room. Not only because of the rain and wind. You will understand in a second why. Periwinkle Tea Rooms. This is where we need to go. We have the famous English weather but it's
so strange because it's very very mild. It's just wet. This is the Periwinkle Tear Room and it's
so quintessentially English. It's really really gorgeous. Belgian bun for Jörg and gluten-free free
brie and cranberry toast. It looks very good. Look at this cottage. It's like picture perfect. It's like a postcard. I think a huge inspiration for everyone who
can who can paint or draw. Sadly I can't but it's so gorgeous. So we're going to have dinner here at The
Ship Inn which dates back to at least the 15th century so it's possibly one of the oldest
pubs in the country. And as you can see it's still raining cats
and dogs. It hasn't stopped but we have to make the
best of it. It could be worse. So the sign even says 13th Century Traditional
Inn. That's incredible. I haven't shared where we actually are. We are in Porlock which is a coastal village
with lots of medieval buildings. And it looks quite quirky. Look at this thatched cottage. I don't know if you can see the ship on top. That looks fun. Time for dinner. We can't wait. We are quite hungry. I'm full. Really? I'm really full. I had a gluten-free burger. Yeah and I had fish and chips. Yes. Sadly we couldn't really film in there because
it was quite busy. Yeah too crowed. Yes but you said it's quite quirky. Yeah it was really quirky. And the food wasn't from the 13th century. No no, it was prepared today. Luckily. So unfortunately due to the weather, you can't
really see the water but down there's the Bristol Channel. Yeah. And we had a look at the weather so we might
come back tomorrow night because you said - the sun might come out come out tomorrow
late afternoon. Yeah so we will go back because down there
is Porlock Weir. Yeah. Right? Yeah, the harbour. Yeah. We're in Dunster now. Yes. And it's a really nice medieval village. It looks lovely. And it's also just around the corner from
our accommodation so in case you missed our previous video where we share a tour of a
glorious English Country House Bed and Breakfast - yes - we had a gorgeous stay there. Yes and it is from the 17th century so do
check it out. Look, there's a Beatrix Potter window. Jemima Puddle Duck, Peter Rabbit. And the vegetable garden, the famous vegetable
garden. There's a Bed & Breakfast called 'The Old
Priory' and also a holiday cottage. Sadly you can't really see the house but the
garden looks wonderful. That looks stunning. I have to check out their website and link
it for you. So this is the Memorial Garden which is next
to the Bed & Breakfast I just showed you. Look at this. It's so beautiful. I didn't expect Dunster to be so gorgeous
so if you're in the area you have to visit. What do you think? Beautiful. This is like, I find it I don't know I'm not
a gardener but to me this is like a quintessential cottage garden. Yeah. An English cottage garden. It's a dream. In case you hear music, there's a music festival
going on. I think in the pub. At the Luttrell Arms. So the garden is dedicated to all the men
of Dunster who had given their lives in the past conflicts and was renamed Dunster Memorial
Garden. And here it says peace, fragrance and quiet memories. And this is what you feel like as soon as
you enter this garden. Good morning! So today we're going to explore some more
picturesque villages and we're now in Luccombe. And it has some wonderful cottages so let's
explore. You know, I love these old church yards. Me too because we don't have that in Germany. No no. You can't find that. Yes and it's to me when you look at the gravestones
it's like, yeah, looking into history. Yes. And to me it almost it it looks unreal. Almost like a film set. So this is Saint Mary's Church in Luccombe. And it might be repetitive I don't know but
we just love seeing these old churches and the churchyards and sharing them on our channel. So you can't read those as you can see but
this one. Mary Rendel who died on - 1855. Yes. 17th October 1855. So this is a lovely. Luccombe is lovely but tiny - yeah - so we
can't really share much but you get the feeling that time stood still. Yeah, it's like somebody turned the clock
back. We're in a very quirky tea room. The name - Horner Tea Gardens. Is that a correct Jörg? Yeah. And we drove past it and had a peek into the
garden and said you know what let's have tea and a bite to eat. This is Jörg. Yeah, it's a panini with ham and cheese. And I'm terribly repetitive because I went
for um, a jacket potatoes - with tuna and mayonnaise. Yeah so quite boring but it's always good. And of course tea. How is it? Always thumbs up. So we're sitting outside as you can see. It's about 18 degrees I think. Yeah. It's actually not too bad. No. This is where we had lunch. A cottage, quirky cottage and a quirky tea
room. That was lovely. It's quite empty because it's it's a Monday. Yeah and it's, the weather is not good. Yeah. Jörg has a day off which is good. We published a video with the title I think
'Experience the magic of English villages in summer' - yeah - and it was absolutely
glorious. We had the best weather. Yes and now we call this one 'Experience the
magic of English villages in the rain'. Well, it's not raining right now but of what
I wanted to say - it will start soon -but it's still magical. It's still, it has its own charm. I think, I mean it's the villages, they are
the - yeah - the then then I was going to say, yeah, they are the main bit. We are in the tiny village of Allerford and
this is a medieval packhorse bridge which is from the 15th century. And right next to it is a very quirky cottage. This is our last stop for today. We are in Porlock Weir - yeah which is about
a mile away from Porlock. And it's got a small harbour. Yes. When we filmed in Porlock we had heavy rain
and we said you can see the water - which is the Bristol Channel. Yes. I must say like this day started quite badly. We had heavy rain but now it's actually quite
nice. Yes, it's wonderful. Yeah. So this is the Bristol Channel. It looks quite dark on camera I think but
it's nice. Thatched cottages everywhere. I must say I do like this one. This is lovely, isn't it? Yes. The one the one on the right? The pink one. It's like a mixture between pink and lilac. Yeah but it's lovely. It is. You also find the 'Coleridge Way' here in
the area. It's very very popular with hikers and walkers.
51 miles long. And it was at the end of the 18th century
that the famous Lake poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge came to Porlock to find some, I don't know,
he just wanted to get away. Yeah, he wanted to find isolation and wanted
to finish his work I think it's called 'Osorio'. And he lived in Somerset for three years. He walked for miles and miles every day. Yeah, hence the 'Coleridge Way'. I actually I'd love to do that one day. I don't know if we if we get to do it but
um, if you love hiking and walking I think it's wonderful. You don't find a more poetic trail. We should have not mentioned the word rain. No. It's coming back. But that's not a problem anymore. No, not now. We're going back home. It was amazing. Yeah, it was really really lovely here. Yeah but as always I think we've seen a lot
but there's so much more to explore. Yeah. I just said like um, a couple of minutes ago
I said doing the Coleridge Way would I think that would be amazing. Yes in the summertime when it's not too hot
- yes -the sun is shining, a bit of cloudy. That's nice. Well, you can't you can't predict it but I
think for people who love that, the area is absolutely incredible. Yeah, yeah. If you like walking in the hills - yes - yeah,
near the coast. Gorgeous. So thank you so much for watching and we'll
see you again very soon so take care and until next time. Bye. Bye. Bye bye.
