Fables & Fells
My channel is dedicated to sharing the rugged, wild beauty of the British Isles and the adventures and stories you can find here.
Hi, I’m Chloe. I grew up in the Devonshire countryside, though seeking adventure, moved to Cumbria with my husband, Ryan, and our spaniel, Cam.
Since Ryan was serving as a Royal Marine, this put us 300 miles apart (at best). We knew we wanted to spend our days exploring the Lake District and, after years of uncertainty, found ourselves on the move yet again.
This time, we found our countryside dream ~ a historic cottage in the fells and Ryan has now joined me full time back in the North.
As well as sharing my outdoor pursuits, from hiking to wild camping and wild swimming, I enjoy weaving notes on the landscape, history, personal philosophy and folklore throughout my videos.
Join us on our adventures as we continue to explore ‘fell & dale’ and settle into rural countryside life.

If you want a cosy watch today, I've created a playlist of my Winter videos featuring some of favourite hikes, including Skiddaw, the Coledale horseshoe & Blencathra ❄️🌨️
There's deep snow, bitterly cold wind chill and lots of Cam 🐾
Recommended watch snack: hot chocolate and honey crumpets 🔥

I vary my topics quite a bit, which I think confuses YouTube (and perhaps you) as they haven't been sharing to subscribers as much lately, or elsewhere. So if you haven't seen it, you can find the latest video here 👇🏼
This was a whopper edit, and probably not sustainable, but I wanted to try and do the cottage/story somewhat justice.
It may not being a designated hiking or wild camping video, though there is still lots of footage of this in the fells.
Hope you find it cosy for a Sunday ☕🔥
Thanks for being here 🙏🏼

Hello 👋🏼 and (somewhat belated) happy new year to you ❄️
Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on my videos last year. Your encouragement has been truly astounding.
I never imagined so many expats and those who can no longer hike enjoying my videos. It has been such a joy to connect you to the landscape here in the Lakes.
If you haven't seen the latest video, you can find it below 👇🏼
The next one will be out... this weekend! (Back-to-back weekends, I think that's a first for me 😅)
If there's anything you'd like to see, do let me know as I will be thinking on upcoming videos and topics for the season ahead ⛰️

Happy Halloween 🎃
I have a new video coming out soon (still grappling with the edit due to a couple setups with audio and harddrive) but it's in the works!
It's a big update and I'm excited to share it as soon as I can.
In the meantime, here's one to watch if you haven't seen it 👇🏼
I hope it provides a little Halloween mood 🖤

Morning, hope you are well 😊
We are having a very mixed summer here in Cumbria (and probably the rest of the UK?). Some days feel November-esque with daytime temps of 12 degrees, high winds and rain lashing down.
However, a few sunny, hot days have made an appearance. Fingers crossed we get a few more as there's nothing nicer than stepping out into the garden at 5am knowing that it's going to be bright day.
My favourite part of summer is seeing the wildflower meadows. There is one area I'm hoping you shoot, if the delicate petals haven't all be been blown and washed away 😅
The foxgloves are also looking specular at the moment. Many lower level walks to be enjoyed.
That said, I am missing the higher fells so I will get us back out there as soon as I can.
In the meantime, if you missed it, you can find the latest video here: https://youtu.be/rPCbsJhw4gY
Have a lovely weekend 🌼

Update: It's now live 🎉
You can watch it here:

--------------------------
My apologies, there won't be an upload tonight 😟
I've exported it five times and each time, something new glitches.
The software has been really problematic all week, it's been a struggle to finish it and now it's coming up with something new every export 🙈
I've spent so much time trying to fix it, re-edit it and export/upload it repeatedly to YouTube.
I can only hope it will work tomorrow so that I can get it live for you then.
Sorry about that!
