Karl Watson: Travel Documentaries

Discover the gorgeous English countryside of Surrey, just outside of London. This is the first in a new series of short films showing off weekend breaks around the UK. The silver lining of this last year is that it's encouraged me to explore more of my own backyard, whilst the borders for travellling are shut. Gradually I'll be showing off more "staycations" around the country, but I thought what better to start off than by showing what's right on my front door, just outside of Redhill, Surrey where I live. The three walks shown are: - Redhill - Gatton Park - Reigate Hill - Colley Hill - Dorking - Stepping Stones - Box Hill - Northdowns Way to Colley Hill - down to Reigate - Dorking - Greensand Way via Brockham, Betworth to Reigate

Discover the gorgeous English southern coastline of Dorset. The first part of this video we visit the beautiful village of Corfe Castle, by the spectacular ruins of the castle. From here we walk out to the village of Kingston, the view point of Swyre Head before looping back around to Corfe. The second walk we head to Worth Matravers, another cute village, close to the shores of the Jurassic Coast. We follow the Priests Way, then walk down to Dancing Ledge, along the South West Coast Path to Winspit Quarry, St Aldhelm's Head, Chapman's Pool and then back to Worth Matravers.

A weekend enjoying the epic coastline in Cornwall, one of the UK's top holiday spots. I spent the weekend in the village of Boscastle with my mum. We used this as our base for walking the South West Coast Path. On the first day we walked from Widemouth Bay back to Boscastle via Crackington Haven. On the second day we walked from Port Issac back to Boscastle, via Port Gaverne, Tregardock Beach, Trebarwith Sand and Tintagel Castle - the birth place of King Arthur.

A weekend exploring some of the highlights of Yorkshire Dales National Park. We head to Malham Cove, featured in Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows and also The Trip. We do the loop walk via Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and then down to Malham Cove. We also check out Aysgarth Falls and Hardraw Force, both featured in the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. And finally we walk up Ingleborough, one of the peaks of the Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge.

A weekend exploring the city of Manchester and the neighbouring Peak District. Nick & Amy give James and I a tour of Manchester, including walking down the canals, learning about the history of the industrial revolution, movie locations, Alan Turing and the new Media City. We also head to Peak District for the day to walk up to Bamford Edge.
