Comfortably Brum - A Short Wak Around the Centre of Birmingham


My latest video, a walk around central Birmingham, England. Brum (as it's generally known) is a big place but the centre is quite compact, and while there are places I didn't go on this trip, this showcases some of my most familiar places.

Ross on Wye - Land of the Hedgehog

Ross on Wye is a market town in Herefordshire, England. Its name is from the Welsh 'Rhosan' meaning a headland, as the town is on a hill overlooking the river Wye. Ross is about 11km from Wales at the nearest point; in Welsh it's "Rhosan ar Wy." So there is a lot of Welsh influence here, and the western part of Herefordshire was historically in Wales. Ross is known as the birthplace of tourism in the UK due to its key position in the "Wye Tour."
