I'm off down there tomorrow. My favourite place to be

Quite a bit has happened in the 50 years I've been away. I was born in Paignton Hospital, and lived the first 20 years of my life in town, so a lot of this is familiar. Roundham - my friend's parents ran a hotel there; the walk was great - especially down the cliff path to the beach, and there was the remains of a submarine (or so I was told) showing at the foot of the cliff. Love that Devon Red sandstone! That water-park is built on a small mound - at the age of two I thought it a mountain, and ran wildly down it. That fenced-off area at 26:41 was a sailboat pond... can't tell now what it is. There is - or maybe was - grave in the green park... I always thought it ghoulish, until I learned that during the Napoleonic War, troops were camped there, and the grave is of an officer. Thanks so much for the video - it evoked many memories, as you can see.

Such nice places!

Yes

This brings back memories, when I was a kid, we used to go to Paignton, my parents were friends with a Mr Bewley he owned a tour boat (boy david) , remember going to Brixham and down the river dart with him .they were great times. 👍

So it was very quite there hey 😂

Great video love this place glad I was the 1000th viewer of the your video lol subscribed

Paignton is my second home. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this video, one of my best holydays ever, many years ago and unforgotten

Perfect morning- shows it in all its Glory 🌈

What an absolutely wonderful video. I’ve made this same walk many times in both directions, since the age of six and your video brings back so many wonderful days. Thanks for your hard work. It was epic. (How were you able to keep your camera so steady ?)

At around 6:10 to 6:20 does anybody recognise the cream looking 2 or 3 storey building to the right of screen? I’m almost certain this was a hotel my mum and dad would take me in the early 70’s and the green area beside it was a 9 hole pitch and putt course. If it is the one, I’ve been searching for it for many years but couldn’t locate it. Hope some kind soul can identify it for me 🙏🤞In any case I subscribed and liked 👍😃

Your videos are out of this world. I will be binge watching them now. Defo gonna do this walk. Thank you soooooo much for making these scenic beautiful vids. please don't stop making them 🥰🙏🌠

thanks for this needeed it

Nice, do you do the walk to Redgate?

Have walked this many times during the 80s and again between 2004-2006

Absolutely stunning. Imagine if this was home. Oh it is. Love it. 😀

my word that brought back some memories. I lived in Paignton as a lad, I and a couple friends did a lot of fishing from the rocks below Roundham Head and on the prom below the cliff walk down to Gooderington . Had another school mate who lived in Gooderington as well , so spent a lot of time there on the beach in summer. There have been a few changes over the almost 50 years since I lived there, but not as many as I thought there might have been .

I'm lucky enough to live in the best place in the world. TorQuAY!!!!

That’s 12 minutes of my life I will never get back!

Hi what a beautiful and relaxing video of Torquay, is easy to see why so many famous novelist, poets, writers etc. Found so much inspiration here. 🥰. Lovely. Davina S.

I hope that running dog got reunited with his/ her human companion !!😧 It's irresponsible for anyone to leave his dog way behind !! That dog could had fallen into the ocean !😠 Or kidnapped, even ! 😡 It's a very nice place to walk around !! Very melancholic.💘 I am looking for a very nice area in Devon where is easy for people with mobility issues .My mom has. I might have to push her wheelchair. A very nice video ,thanks ! 💜🥁🐉🎤💞

I love Torquay, was one of my favourite places to visit last summer. Have a good weekend!

great. I'm your fan.

Very blessed to call this home 🏠

I love torquay miss it lots want to go again this summer its like my second home I normally go 3 times a year

I LOVE DAWLISH!!

Wow look at that wounderful view across the bay

Hope you are staying safe and well

Used to live in Paignton and have subscribed as well

Excellent footage 💕💕💕👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😍😍😍😍😍

Great video, many happy memories of Babbacombe! Still looks lovely & clean & well kept; many thanks for posting

Love Abbey Park just to sit in & look across to the sea & relax this my 3rd time to Torquay

Excellent picture quality on this walk around the gardens at Oldway Mansion. Another very good video from Let's Walk. The "crunchy" sound of the gravel as you walked, added a realistic sound effect to the quieter bits. Good subject for a video tour. Well done.

This road is so quiet. I could live here. Devon my next home?

I think I could live in Devon. Clean and beautiful. 🇬🇧

Thanks for showing this walk. Seeing the iffy steps at 8.00 onwards and then the poor quality of the path further on made us decide to do our walking elsewhere. Seems the coast path through Torbay is very neglected as we stopped walking other sections because of the poor state.

Perfect

Brings back memories for me when I was a boy living in Goodrington, many many years ago. I'm glad you did it on a quiet day, because that's how it was, out of season. That must have been a spring tide, the sea wasn't that high very often. I enjoyed the route you took from Paignton harbour, up through Roundham Gardens and down into Goodrington. It's hardly changed at all. Good video.

Thanks for this. Familiar with the area but not done this walk before so will find it out next time.

will it ever come back the way it was, we had many happy holiday's happy memories,

Whilst this has been filmed on a beautiful day it has nonetheless been filmed during COVID and doesn’t sell this beautiful resort at all. Should be re-filmed now to show a sense of normality and the buzz this place has in the summer. Also use iMovie app to précis the vid, a great editing tool which is so easy to use.

Another familiar route... Like it was yesterday, though there wasn't the bike lanes and car parking spaces there over 10 years ago, I remember it being all pedestrianised !! Do the motor bikes still meet up along the promenade seafront on Wednesday nights?? It was always jam packed with them!! There used to be a small gift shop on the right hand side under the arch you walked through and on the other an ice cream stall if I remember correctly.

Been on holiday to Paignton at least 3 or 4 times over 10 years ago.... Done exactly same walk, can remember it like it was yesterday!!! Stayed at Cranmore Lodge twice, and another which shall remain unnamed because it was erm... Grubby and not even worth a 1 star rating!!! But Cranmore Lodge got a full 5 ⭐. Brings back many happy holiday memories, though its a 6 hour drive from my home town.

Miss Torquay very much. Lived there many years and worked on the Pitch and Putt in Abbey Park. Where have all the flower beds gone and no one to be seen ☹️

Can't count the number of times l have walked along that path on way to Goodrington beach. Wonderful,wonderful memories.

What are they building, seems to be a few cranes? Worked in the cafe, used to be called shoreline. About twenty years ago.
