HOW TO GET AROUND ENGLAND'S FAIRYTALE CASTLE: LOST?

good morning from the car good morning so some of you already know from the previous video that yoga and i are on our way to essex but we decided to take a little detour and i'm going to beaver castle which is really exciting for us because in germany like during the festive season all of us watch the film little lord fonterroy which is from from 1980 and i don't know we would love to know if you if you know that film i think every german knows it yes because you can watch it every year on tv yeah it's always on tv and i wish my parents were here because they love the film as well and they love the castle and also um the castle is used as a filming location in the crown so yeah we booked tickets online and can't wait to see it so we should be there in about 15 minutes something so stay tuned so we are on a road called castleview road which is very narrow so it's more of a country lane and we hope we can get a glimpse of the castle so you can see it [Music] so guys can you see it we are a bit early and we thought we would just stop and film it from here it's a nice view yeah really nice and we double checked of course because we thought you would pronounce it castle which is french yeah because it's written b-e-l-v-o-i-r in french yeah which means beautiful view but it's pronounced beaver yeah which i don't know it's really strange yeah we always have to double check because yeah we sometimes i don't know we're just not sure yeah and you can't be sure here it's [Music] so [Music] okay i just have to show you these are customer toilets but look at the sinks aren't they nice it's really great dukes for men and and the duchess is toilet so they give you map at the entrance and we are currently on their so-called spiral walk around the castle [Music] yeah look did you spot the lord fauntleroy swing yeah it's nice and it's kind of an excellent view yeah perfect spot shall we tried i don't know if we're allowed i don't think so [Music] [Music] beaver castle is a private home and the duke and duchess of rutland live here and yeah but the castle here was built in 1830 yeah but the site has been used as let's say a castle for foreign castle uh since the norman times and a thousand years yeah you just said that um like back in the day it crossed like nowadays it cost eight million pounds yeah and then parts of it burned down so i spent another seven million another seven million and yeah so and and you also said because the duke's wife wanted it that way yeah or something like that right very expensive house a very expensive house yeah he had to sell a portion of his land to finance the building it's crazy but it's a beautiful building very nice yes it is let's move in yeah it's a really stunning building yeah [Music] so [Music] we think the crowns are very they are different a bit like um fairy tale i think some bits are really really enchanting so beautiful yeah what do you think yes yeah just look at earth here they are they are everywhere yeah that look these are beautiful and strange because look a woman and a monkey oh yeah this one this one has a monkey and they are from the 17th century yeah 1680. they are so old stunning this is a bit of a close-up but it doesn't look like a monkey it's some kind of demon we don't know we really don't know but it's fascinating okay and now we're in the duchess's garden and want to check out the grotto so [Music] so here's what happened we said i go back so i could film the castle a bit and you wanted to go to another grotto was it wasn't it it's not granby's cave yeah and do you know the place where we separated yeah was advocate at the cave so we were just standing on on the cave and didn't know no we didn't see it oh my goodness yes on there and then what what happened was that jerk i said i would wait here and then i phoned him because i was worried and then he said he got lost yes i got lost he got lost but you've seen that yeah he just said did you film everything yes oh my god no no i didn't see the only thing i didn't feel this film is me in the middle of the woodland not losing my nerves no i didn't respond i'm so sorry huh i'm just like it's not it's it's it happened before oh no yeah you know what i wanted to say um you used to be an officer in the army and then you get lost this is a bit funny yeah ah i just got your hair i think we should have a drink or something i need something now yeah oh no you are you definitely got your exercise yesterday yes ah do you know i'm lost i wanted to find a place called granby's cave but i must have missed it and now i'm in the middle of nowhere and look there's a statue and and this is the landscape capability brown created because obviously all the lakes you can see if you can see them are artificial but now i've got to go and find kirsten and i think she's worried and she doesn't know where i am you know it's funny because kirsten and i just separated here at this place so we just didn't see it that's amazing yeah this is a place i was looking for not granby's cave oh yes it's really a cave so and now let's go and meet kirsten because i know she's waiting at the castle for me so hurry up look it's a nice color and i can tell you i've done my exercises for today because at least i must have gone two miles more as cursing at least because i've looked it i found a place which i could locate on the map and it probably was a mile away from where i belong believed i should have been so i really got lost i made it back to the castle and i've already spotted kirsten can you spot her yeah and she spotted me too yeah wonderful you know i've missed her even if it was only a half an hour i've missed should her tell you a secret i love kirsten she's the love of my life very nice basically yeah did you enjoy it yes i did it was definitely on our list yeah but now yeah i'm hungry yeah so we need some afternoon tea no certainly not but there's an interesting fact about afternoon tea one of the duchesses invented the afternoon tea here yeah simply because time between lunch and dinner was too long yeah and she got hungry and probably maybe a bit bored as well yeah so she had some slice of cake and a tea yeah and that's the afternoon team great idea great idea yeah we are really grateful and she invented it yes because now i can have my afternoon tea yeah come on i'm hungry yeah me too honestly i am but no afternoon to today no maybe a bit of well a very tiny version of an afternoon tea um at our lodge yeah maybe so believe we didn't meet lord van der roye but i believe he's grown up now yes but you know what um i would really i have to do a bit of research to see if they filmed everything here in this area because i don't know and let us know if you know the film we are really interested if it's just known to to us jam and sometimes that honestly sometimes things like that happen yeah so far the germans the film is declining lord yeah that landlord yeah it's a very nice film it's a classic we link it down below in the description box if you haven't seen it okay yoga's got the key let's have a look now let's see now jorg and i just arrived at cambridge lodge here at ortley and house um it's not sponsored or anything this is our first stay with english heritage english heritage is a non-profit organization that cares for historic monuments buildings and they also have holiday cottages while we're not completely happy with the accommodation what do you think um it's okay it's okay but not like we're not then the pictures look very different um so i think the outside is stunning we will have a look later but um interior wise it's it's big yeah but it's just not your taste no but it's enough space yeah it's in a row in its own way it's clumsy but um one thing is really great about this day when you book a holiday cottage via the via english heritage you get a what's it called a vip guest card so you can use the the sides for free ordly and house will be amazing quite sure so yeah do do you want to have a tour yeah give a tour at all so this is the dining area and this is the kitchen and you also get a hamper and they send you message asking you about their different options and we just spotted because we always we buy them at home as well the eggs are so so good these are barefoot browns and they are so good and you've also got so what else do we have marmalade with whiskey goodness some hot chocolate yeah red do you know that one the red wine i'm not sure if i had it it's in argentina oh yeah and then tea cakes for yug and bread for yak oh yeah that's what they ask as well whether what kind of milk oh they left some juice butter and mature cheddar so that's good yeah there's a sitting area as well which is here it's just not um i wouldn't call it like well it's definitely not english country style which we knew but um it doesn't really have a cozy vibe so that's really strange um and then you go up and this is actually for four people we we like booking a space for four people because it just leaves you enough room for for your luggage and for your clothes and yeah this the is bedroom so this is it well that's a nice feature and there's a second bath um second bedroom in here so here this is the view and the gates to to the house itself and then there's the bathroom rooms are quite big so that's good see it has got a huge shower so that's good we hope it's okay to give our honest opinion that's what we're here for that's why we make this channel and yeah the first thing we're going to have now is tea so what yog doesn't know is that i brought the loose tea darjeeling tea and even a tea strainer yeah and i'm going to make a cuppa now so as most of you know that yoga and i aren't quite the opposite to minimalists you wouldn't find white china in our whole household but still i checked and they say this is english china as well just the camera it probably matches the whole theme of the house and that's fine and this is our sweet treat i'll have milk chocolate digestives gluten-free ones and yolk has they sound good sweet and fruity milk chocolate orange cookies now this is the outside and that is truly stunning we love that that's really really beautiful i do like these houses as well such a nice style but here here's ortly end and that is gorgeous yeah i don't know like walking around here having the river here and then the house just reminds me a little bit of france when we spent a week and um at the loire valley yeah just a little bit just said although the furniture or the interior of the lodge isn't entirely our taste we absolutely love it here yeah it's nice yeah and all the furnishings in in the apartment house is made in prison yeah so that's good that's good yeah yeah and we're just like walking around the gardens of oakley and with just having the ducks here yeah it's amazing it's it's a dream it's beautiful it's honestly it's like we feel as if we are the owners it's funny to see all the ducks and goose run around yeah they really enjoy it sleeping by the river now yes the mother was calling her children it's dinner time and what are we having tonight i'm gonna kill some tomatoes yeah somehow so like um last time we went away it was we went like before lockdown we went to north humberland and um we shared what we what we cooked because we always try when we're spending um like a long weekend somewhere we and prepare dinner ourselves we always try to create something really simple and today we are going to prepare a it's a jamie oliver recipe which is really really easy and is younger so it contains we brought gluten-free pasta then it contains tomatoes tuna and capers and we're going to to cook their pasta first i'm doing slicing tomatoes no i'm slicing i always i'm slicing tomatoes i'm teasing you because he always he he says tomatoes but it's tomato yes tomatoes least here in the uk and what i'm doing now is i'm going to fry the capers and this is what we really like because it's a bit the taste is amazing yeah i don't know the recipe by hard but we have to add the tomatoes now but you can't do anything wrong so it should be fine [Music] what are you doing i'm patting between them oh okay lovely yeah what was your highlight today yeah that's my highlight now because you're so hungry no no seriously my highlight you're my hairline no my hair was but i don't have to go into the office today that's true oh yes that's true and the beaver castle was it like you expected it to be was it better i think i expect this kind of gun you mean that big yes yeah that's true was quite so it wasn't no absolutely not i think some parts really looked like a fairy tale i'm so hungry hungry hungry pasta pasta pasta yes so just add pasta and then you only have to add salt and pepper and then it's done it's so so quick and really good done and that's our dinner
