New Travel Begins at 40 YouTube Channel

We have launched the Travel Begins at 40 YouTube Channel with a Shrewsbury teaser

 

Travel Begins at 40 has just launched an exciting video project. Our founder and editor Mark Bibby Jackson, aka the ‘hairy traveller’, will travel across the UK and beyond to talk about the cultural attractions in these places, as well as sample the best pubs. These videos will be shown on the Travel Begins at 40 YouTube Channel.

While other video projects seem to focus on the aesthetics of the presenters, Bibby will provide a fascinating insight into what to see in these towns and cities, based upon his 20+ years of writing and now presenting on travel. He will chat with locals allowing them to give their take on what visitors should see in the place they love.

“It is a bit of a departure getting on the other side of the camera, but so far it has been great fun,” says Mark Bibby Jackson. “Shrewsbury is is a stunningly beautiful town, which I had never visited previously. The few days we spent there were amazing, and it was so interesting to see how the locals were interested in interacting with us as we wandered around the town.

“I can’t wait to see the launch of our first two full videos – this is very much just a teaser – and to start filming around the country and overseas.”

Our first video was taken in Shrewsbury in autumn 2024, where Bibby visited the Shrewsbury Abbey, Shrewsbury Castle, Shrewsbury Prison, the Quarry and six of the finest pubs in this beautiful medieval town. Here is the link to our teaser:

 

 

We are looking for destinations to partner with in 2025. Just contact us if you’d like to get more information on our project, or have a video made about your, or your client’s, destination, resort, attraction, etc.
