Rick Steves' England 2000-2007 - Travel Video.  8 Shows.  DVD.

Eight Shows: 4 hours, closed captioned, NTSC format, all region compatible.

Here's where we'll take you...

London: Mod and Trad — London is quintessentially English…yet cosmopolitan. We check out the new — the Millennium Bridge and the British Museum's Great Court, and admire the old — well-wrapped mummies and a rare Leonardo. After bantering with Beefeaters at the Tower of London, we do some riverside beach-combing. Strolling the trendy South Bank of the Thames takes us from the Tate Modern to the dizzying London Eye.

London: Royal and Rambunctious — We whisper secrets across the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral and eat our way through Soho. Then we check out the treasures of the new British Library, roll with the drums at the Changing of the Guard, and cruise the Thames to Kew Gardens.

Great Side Trips from London — After starting with a double-decker bus tour in London, our camera zooms in on Cabinet War Rooms where Churchill plotted against Hitler, the Tate Gallery and the reconstructed Globe Theatre. With London as home base, Rick and his family take day trips to Stratford — Shakespeare's birthplace — Warwick Castle and Cambridge before moving on to York. Then, Gothic architecture is the topic as we wander through York Cathedral. Along the way, we stop for traditional English tea. After a steam engine trip through the moors, we board the Eurostar to zoom under the Channel.

Northwest England — Rick brings his family along to enjoy the diversity of north England. They visit Ironbridge Gorge — the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution — and Blackpool, a high energy beach town with neon night life, vintage trolly cars, ballroom dancing and a world-class roller coaster. A scenic drive takes us to the calm Cumbrian Lake District where we enjoy B&Bs, Wordsworth's cottage, hearty walks and sheep shearing. Finally, we explore the Norman cathedral at Durham for its magnificent architecture and Evensong service.

South England: Dover to Lands' End — From the white cliffs of Dover to Land's End, we ponder Roman, Norman, and Nazi invasions. After exploring Admiral Nelson's flagship, we chase wild ponies across the moors and discover an ancient stone circle. For refreshment, it's cream tea and Cornish pasties.

Heart of England and South Wales — After King Arthur country at Glastonbury, we go back in time to prehistoric Stonehenge. We sample hard apple cider in Wells, meet an eccentric lord in the Cotswolds, and visit an evocative ruined abbey in South Wales.

North Wales: Feisty and Poetic — From towering Mount Snowdon, to evocative medieval castles, to sweeping Victorian promenades, North Wales is a poem written in landscape. We'll climb a mountain aboard a steam train, learn some Welsh, follow a miner deep into a slate mine, herd sheep with a very clever dog, and work in a pop pilgrimage to the Beatles' Liverpool.

England’s Bath and York — Medieval York and Georgian Bath — easy side-trips from London — pack an exciting pair of sightseeing punches. We'll explore Roman hot springs, cruise quiet canals, marvel at England's finest Gothic church, and get a surprising dose of Viking history as we enjoy England's easy urban delights.

Hidden Treasures of Europe: Travel To Europe's Best kept Secrets: England - Travel Video.  A&E Video.  2-Pack.
Sometimes the most magical adventures are at the end of the road less travelled!  Hidden Treasures of Europe offers you guided tours through fascinating destinations "far from the madding crowds."  From centuries-old villages, through dazzling mountain scenery overlooking crystalline lakes and flower- filled meadows, here is glorious, old-time history that delivers on a promise of unimaginable beauty, accented by the smiles of those who live here and bid you welcome!  2 videos.  135 minutes.  ©2000
  NORTHUMBERLAND/WALES ~
The frontier of Northumberland was once covered with blood as the English and Scots disputed its ownership for centuries.  What are now wonderful castles once served as military fortresses.  They stand as silent witnesses to the turbulent battle scenes that played themselves out prior to the end of the 16th century. Wonderful hilly landscapes also welcome visitors to an area where history surrounds them.  In Wales, valleys that were once part of the country's industrial past are now green and inviting for those wanting to experience a castle built in A.D. 1000 by friends of William the Conqueror.  Viewers will almost be able to hear the chants of monks who lived in the 14th century, which is in stark contrast to the excitement of the local pubs.
  
KENT and YORKSHIRE ~
Kent is known as the garden of England. It is an area full of pomp and circumstance.  History reaches back over 2,000 years to a time when the Romans founded the city of Canterbury.  With churches built in the 4th century, viewers will find the matchless jewel known as Canterbury Cathedral, where Thomas Beckett was assassinated and the Black Knight is buried.  Kent abounds with castles and other historical structures that reflect on those who lived and traveled through this part.  In Yorkshire, viewers will find the stately land of James Herriott and Richard the Third.  It stands as a prime example of English life located in the heart of England.  135 minutes.

Avebury Stone Circle - Travel Video.  DVDGlobal Treasures.  10 Minutes.
In England, close to the village of Silbury Hill in the county of Wiltshire, a 5,000 year old monument rises from the ground. It is a hill that is almost 40m high and is Europe's largest artificial prehistoric earthwork, built around 2, 800 B.C.

The grass covered limestone hill was created for ritual ceremonies and its rocks originated from a huge stone circle that dates back to a Megalithic culture that encompassed the village of Avebury in which ancient rituals were performed right up to the time of Christianity.

The White Horses Of Wiltshire are located on several sites in the English county. They are large, white contours of horses that can be seen from far away in the undulating countryside. The 100m long horses consist of limestone and their origin dates back to the 11th century or perhaps even earlier as they are very similar to images found in Stone Age drawings.

Scientists believe that the builders of Stonehenge, which is only some 25 km distant, were the same that also constructed Avebury, the so-called ‘Beaker People’.

Hadrian's Wall - Travel Video.  DVDGlobal Treasures.  10 Minutes.
The famous Roman emperor Hadrian gave his name to what would become an even more famous wall, a powerful fortification in the north of England that served as protection against the ‘Barbarians’ and extended right up to the Scottish border.

Construction of the wall in the 2nd century A.D. signified hope for a lasting and secure defense against the invading Celts. Hadrian´s enormous line of defense covered an area between the North Sea coast and the Irish Sea and part of it stretched across Cumbria and Northumberland. The wall was meant to re-establish Roman power and ten thousand soldiers were commanded to protect it.

Originally, the wall was 4½ metres high and approximately 3 metres wide and its length of around 120 kilometres was a remarkable accomplishment. Even by Roman standards the establishment of the wall along the empire’s north-eastern border was an ambitious plan. Improvements and changes were constantly made during construction work on the seemingly endless fortification. The western section of the mighty wall was originally built with peat that was later replaced by stone.

In spite of intensive military efforts by the Romans, Northern tribes such as the Picts managed to break through the defensive line. To ensure comprehensive defence of the wall, the Roman commanders ordered that a small road be built along it to aid the quick dispersal of their soldiers.

Although various sections of the wall have been excavated, today it passes across the natural landscape of the English countryside almost as it did during the time of Hadrian.

Get set to unearth the mysteries and surprises that greet modern visitors to the British Isles.

   Then lose yourself in one of the mazes that adorn many of the nation’s castles.  Travel north to Scotland, where you’ll first hear the legends of the witches and ghosts who haunt Edinburgh’s streets.  Then sail out into Loch Ness and keep a lookout for its fabled monster.

   Finally, cross the sea into Ireland and visit two of the Emerald Isle’s most famous relics: the Book of Kells, quite possibly the oldest book in the world, and the Blarney Stone, from which you’ll acquire the “gift of gab”.  60 minutes.

Join host Rick Steves on a lively 2½-hour romp through Britain in five half-hour “Rick Steves’ Europe” TV shows. You’ll spend an hour in London, covering the greatest of the old sights (St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower), and some exciting new ones (the British Library and Millennium Bridge). Then you’ll cover England’s salty south coast from Dover to Land’s End — and the hilly southwest, from the charming Cotswold villages to the rugged beauty of Wales. Up north in Scotland we’ll toss a log, sip some whisky and sail to a sacred island. As a bonus, Rick reveals behind-the-scenes footage and stories about his TV series.

London: Royal and Rambunctious: We whisper secrets across the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral and eat our way through Soho. Then we check out the treasures of the new British Library, roll with the drums at the Changing of the Guard, and cruise the Thames to Kew Gardens.

London: Mod and Trad: We check out the new — the Millennium Bridge and the British Museum's Great Court, and admire the old — well-wrapped mummies and a rare Leonardo. After bantering with Beefeaters at the Tower of London, we do some riverside beach-combing along the Thames, from the Tate Modern to the dizzying London Eye.

South England: Dover to Lands' End: From the white cliffs of Dover to Land's End, we ponder Roman, Norman, and threatened Nazi invasions. After exploring Admiral Nelson's flagship, we chase wild ponies and discover an ancient stone circle. For refreshment, it's cream tea and Cornish pasties.

Heart of England and South Wales: After King Arthur country at Glastonbury, we go back in time to prehistoric Stonehenge. We sample hard apple cider in Wells, meet an eccentric lord in the Cotswolds, and visit an evocative ruined abbey in South Wales.

Scotland's Islands and Highlands: In Scotland, legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl with pipers and kilts around crumbling castles. After tossing a caber (log) at a Scottish clan gathering, we remember Highland massacres. We play hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster, tour a whisky distillery, and take a ferry to sacred Iona.

Behind the Scenes: Rick reveals behind-the-scenes footage and stories about his TV series.

Great Britain's Express Steam Locomotives - Travel Video.  5 Volume Boxed Gift Set.  Goldhil Home Media. 

Many believe that the zenith of worldwide railroading occurred in Great Britain during the "golden age" of steam locomotives between 1930 and 1960.  The railways developed an astonishing variety of engines and they pulled the fastest and most powerful trains of the time.  These great passenger "Express" trains remain among the most famous in history and they continue to be a favorite memory of British railroading.

This remarkable video series chronicles the amazing variety, speed and power of the passenger express steam locomotives of Great Britain.  Their story is told with archival footage and with recent film of their increasingly popular special excursions.  Along the way, viewers will experience the wonderful history of Great Britain's four major railways both before and after they were nationalized into British Railways in 1948.

British Railways

When nationalized in 1948, the four great British railways became British Railways.  The new organization inherited a substantial stock of locomotives, however, it was still necessary to replace many worn-out and obsolete machines before the change-over to diesels could take place.  BR developed a range of "standard" locomotives the first of which "Britannia" rolled out in 1951.  These were the last of the great British Express steam locomotives.  Although they were state-of-the-art, they would soon be replaced by the more efficient diesels.  Nevertheless, they live on with their restored brethren as reminders of the Golden Age of British and world railroading.

Great Western Railway

The G.W.R. ran many popular Expresses, none more so tan the "Cornish Riviera Express," which carried vacationers to the resorts in Devon and Cornwall.  This and other trains were powered by a wide variety of locomotives.  Each engine class bore special names, from the legendary "City of Truro," the first 100 mph steam locomotive, to the "Castles," "Halls" and "Manors."  But to this day, the most popular locomotives of British railroading remain the magnificent "King" class.  Many of these great locomotives still operate to the delight of railroad enthusiasts from around the world.

London and North Eastern Railway

The L.N.E.R. ran some of the most famous trains in the world, and the locomotives which hauled them became railroad legends in their own right.  The "Flying Scotsman" was perhaps the most famous of all and was powered by the giant engines favored by the railway.  The streamlined "A4" Pacifics developed by Sit Nigel Gresley were incredibly popular and one, the "Mallard," was the fastest steam locomotive ever, reaching 126 mph.  Luckily, many of the best engines remain in operating condition thanks to the National Railway Museum.

London, Midland and Scottish Railway

The L.M.S. was the largest of Britain's railways and served cities from the South Coast to the top of Scotland.  It ran many famous expresses, including the "Royal Scot," "The Caledonian" and the "Pines Express."  To haul these trains the L.M.S. built some of the most powerful locomotives of all. The Pacific style engines of the "Duchess," "Princess Royals," "Jubilees" and "Black 5" classes were incredible machines and were very popular with the traveling public.  The last steam locomotives were out of service by 1968, but many of these powerful engines are still enjoyed today on special trips.

Southern Railway

The Southern Railway ran many famous Express trains such as the "Golden Arrow," "Atlantic Coast Express" and "Bournemouth Belle."  Their locomotives were equally popular and are noted for their unusual design features, such as slab-side "air-smoothed" casings.  The names of the engines gave them a romantic air, since many bore names associated with Britain's history, like the Knights of the Round Table class.  As with locomotives from the other great British railways, many are lovingly maintained to the delight of rail and history fans from all over.  275 minutes ( 4 Hours, 35 minutes )
