Castles & Coastlines description on YouTube:

Hi everyone and welcome to our channel! We are #ukvlog here and you will find reports of our trips, reviews of #cruise ships and other bits of travel advice that we’ve gathered along the way. We are also huge #disney fans, so there will be a fair amount of the mouse content in here too. I generally use a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to shoot the majority of the videos using a DJI mic mini. I also use a GOPRO MAX (360 camera) and iPhone 16 Pro Max for some shots. I use Da Vinci Resolve free edition for editing. Hope you enjoy watching the videos and following along on our travels Feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions Kate and Ben (previosuly Brits Abroad!)
