    I thought the Duke's bath house was very quaint, and the chapel museum was equally charming. I do recall reading something to do with the SS Persia steamboat, quite some time ago, but now you have reminded me of the number of people that lost there lives. This shows just how badly those large Steam Passenger ships could so easily be compromised. Such a tragic loss of life. That certainly would not be allowed to happen today. On the other hand i do remember that passenger ship that sank here, I cannot remember whether it was From Ramsgate or Folkestone harbour, but its loading rear doors were left open. Having said that we don't have passenger ships that leave from either harbours now sadly. And yes i remember Sir Francis Chichester and his Gipsy Moth 1966-67. Many thanks Dave as usual for your super narrative and your attention to detail. And of course your loyal and wonderful companion Logan. 🦮😊

    Thanks Dave. Either of the two vehicles you showed at the end would be befitting modes of transport for a RUclips star such as yourself!

      Thanks - yes, the public car park in Beaulieu itself is certainly very small (and there is a charge) so it is great that, as you say, you can park at the Motor Museum - (which I believe is free) as their car park is huge and rarely completely full - just means a small walk to get to the village centre.

    Done the walk with my family this year for the first time sadly the coast path was closed but a great walk all the same.

      Yes … I believe that the "Riverside Walk" loop has been temporarily closed due to the muddy conditions, to allow the path to recover, so basically (at the moment) it is an "out & back" walk on the main track.

      Having watched your videos Dave I’d love to do one on a local now closed landfill site in Holbury that has connections with the Second World War etc but I’ve no clue on editing and background music

      @@Stickman2112 Sounds interesting. It looks like there was a significant Anti Aircraft Battery at Holbury in WW2 - indeed indications are that there was a farm called Gunsite Farm that was located at the end of Lime Kiln Lane. It appears that there are no traces left of either the Battery or the Farm - such a shame that something that was so important for the Country all those years ago seems to have been "lost in time".

      Dave Ford I’ve memories of the old caravan site that was where Mill Pond estate is now I can remember the old buildings the gun emplacement and underground bunkers but I always thought there’s a cottage up the side track by the landfill site that still has a concrete base for a gun nearby there is a pamphlet that I found in the library in Blackfield called The Hardley Guns that details some info but I’d love to do video on the top as well as my late dad worked there in the 70’s many happy childhood memories there lol
