SOUTHPORT: A Driving Tour... There's Not Much Open!
Take a drive with me along the famous sand dunes into the town of Southport for a look at the town centre and the seafront.
Southport is one of the leafier towns on the North West coast and boasts some of the highest house prices in the area and a host of celebrity residents. But it seems it's suffering from hard times with many attractions closed, including it's iconic pier.
Join me as we explore the town of Southport from the road in summer 2023.

BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE: The UK's Most Beautiful Place?
Просмотров 10 тыс.Год назад
I'm in the Lake District for a short walk along the marina area of Lake Windermere at Bowness-On-Windermere. This area is consistently voted by tourists and travel experts alike a the Most Beautiful Place in the UK. And you can see why. I visited on a warm, sunny June afternoon and the views and the whole feel of the place was outstanding. The camera doesn't do it justice. In this video, I walk...

    There isnt TWO promenades..... The original promenade will always be the the only one. The marine lake is man made, so there used to be sand where that was, and the sea came right up the the promenade, and sometimes flooding lord street.

    You were walking on the promenade, formally known as Marine Road East and West. Marine Drive is a new road connecting the town centre to the new railway station.

    World Tour of Britain great video apart from one thing you keep referring to "Windermere" as "Lake Windermere" you have made the mistake all tourists make when visiting Windermere. You called the Lake "Lake Windermere " what you have actually just said is Lake Winderlake because Mere is old English word meaning Lake so in reality you only need to say Windermere when talking about the Lake itself

    I was born at Heysham in the 50's so spent my childhood in Heysham and Morecambe and went to school there. I remember all the places you listed. It was a magical place to spend a childhood. There are so many memories I wouldn't know where to start to tell you, but I remember things like the wonderful illuminations so well. It's so sad to see the soulless place Morecambe has become. 🤞one day it will improve.

    Bowness on Windermere - the UK's most beautiful place? Personally as someone who lives a short drive away, I'd say no. I avoid the place like the plague. My idea of peace, tranquility and beauty is somewhere like Great Asby, near Appleby. It's a lovely, but quite small village, with a church, a pub and not a yellow line to be seen anywhere. Many of the residents there take the time to mow the grass verges outside their homes, and plant flowers and shrubs. There is no litter, and you can sit next to the church, and hear birdsong......There are no shops, tearooms etc, just peace and and tranquility...... Oh, and by the way, it isn't *Lake* Windermere. It's just Windermere, the same as the town itself..... The "mere" part of the name actually means a large open body of water.

    I’ve visited the Lake District for decades on short breaks and try to go two or three times a year. Although I’ve been to Bowness on many an occasion either passing through or for the odd walk about it’s definitely never held any attraction for me. All depends what you’re looking for of course but I’ll take the quieter and more remote areas of the region any day of the week over this place.

    Hi, your video is so wrong. The Theatre is going to demolished and a new Convention Centre will be built. The closed building next to the Hotel was in fact a Casino and a Hungry Horse pub not a gym. The minature Railway is open and not boarded up. The pub on the front is called the Guelder Rose. If you did some simple research you would find that Pleasureland is open at the weekend from easter and fully during the school holidays.

    I have lived south of Bowness bay toward Storrs Park, and it's still classed as Bowness-on-Windermere. Please check your facts before you start declaring where Bowness-on-Windermere is actually located!

  • @DaveBartlett

    You certaintly can't get yourself "A Small Fishing Boat" on Windermere. Fishing on Windermere is restricted by fishing licences. Have you actually considered verifying your facts, before making such sweepingly inaccurate recommendations in your videos?

  • @DaveBartlett
    @DaveBartlett Год назад

    Bowness on Windermere is by no means "The bottommost shore of Windermere" by any classification. Bowness-on-Windermere is situated about halfway down the eastern bank of Windermere. Perhaps you should visit the rest of Windermere before you make uninformed comments about whereabouts Bowness-on-Windermere is actually located. (Perhaps consulting an ordnance survey map before composing your commentary might be a reasonable idea!)
