    I worked for one month in the UK and visited whitby every weekend. It was a really rough time for me back then with many private problems and whitby gave me a lot of comfort. It makes me really happy and emotional to see this place again. Thank you for bringing back these good feelings

    I love Whitby and I loved the walk. Seeing the reflections of buildings in the sea always makes me smile. You were lucky to have such a lovely sunny day of filming! I had never seen a boat needed to go under the bridge before, very interesting. Thanks for sharing! Now if I could only get some Trenchers fish and chips delivered here across the big pond! That would make my day even better! :)

    I love Whitby and have visited many time in my 75 years but have never seen the bridge open.
    I always assumed it was a lift bridge not a swing bridge, you learn something every day even at my age :-)
    I always found parking near the centre difficult but am glad to see more disabled parking spaces, time for another visit soon.

    When I went once whilst the Whitby Regatta was on the streets were packed. Over on the East side there are some great shops and walks not just on the Abbey but around it. Many little byways along the dock side of there as well lead to lots of Fishermens cottages. There is a famous pie shop somewhere along the East side and apparently even the toilets in there are grandly tiled. We have noticed a lot of cliff erosion since the 1970's but the character still remains.

It must have been quite a while cos there were a lot of goth young people as it was popular with them. Can’t remember why. I remember all 199 steps too. Phew! You’ve been very lucky with the weather!

      we stay in whitby all the time, & Trenchers is imho totally overrated, there's much better. we tried it on a visit a few years ago and it was overpriced and awful. same with the magpie. on another trip i was recommended Mr chips by our landlord, they were fantastic, and as a bonus, they have an arrangement with the pub next door (endeavour) whereby you can eat them in the pub if you dont want to stay in the restaurant part. there's also a pie shop opposite mr chips that have the same deal with the pub.

I like how that boat went through the bridge it was so cool! Last time we went to Whitby, was that we had to go down the pier and take a look at the view far away! I've always love Whitby and the sound of the seagulls. I wish I could go back this year!

    ALWAYS REPEAT ALWAYS check the times of the tide , I lived in Whitby for 20 years and like you went for a stroll but on the other side of the bridge , the tide tbh I didn’t even think about it as I,m a city boy born and bred so enjoying my walk lovely sunshine uck me that tide was miles out but in the blink of an eye it was up to my knees nothing ahead of me to my side was the cliff face as the water reached my waist as if god himself had placed it there …A stairway up the face of the cliff I was usain bolt up them stairs at the top was a holiday site so from complete terror 5 minutes later I was in a holiday camp .. Please always be careful when on the beach as the sea takes no prisoners. 35 years later still sends shivers down me . Brilliant video by the way

    You need a part 2 Neil.
    You missed some Whitby classic highlights.
    Maybe start at the top of the West Cliff to take in the famous whale bones. Traditionally a set of whale jaw bones were tied to the ship’s mast on their return to signify a successful catch with no crew fatalities.
    Down through the backstreets passing Botham’s Bakery to avoid doing the West Harbour again.
    Over the bridge and then left along the cobbled Church Street (pass the fascinatingly named ‘Arguments Yard’ which turns into Henrietta Street. The classic walk then takes you up the 199 steps (you have to count them!) and into the church yard that I mentioned to you earlier (on our visit on Sunday!). Try to avoid Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Then along to Whitby Abbey.
    At your walks tend to be continuous and not back tracking you will still have missed the Kipper Smoking hut along Henrietta Street with its amazing aromas. But as you’ve just climbed the 199 steps I recommend buying some as a reward for your climb!
    You’ve still missed both the piers! (Part 3?)

    • @jamesbrook16
      @jamesbrook16 2 года назад

      My wife just reminded me that there were two previous episodes taking in the whale bones as well as the 199 steps both down and up!

      @@GimbalWalkTV, Neil, if on your Whitby full tour video at 23 minutes you’d carried on up the cliff side to the stone wall, that’s where we planted the daffodils on Sunday.
      Another little fact is that the abbey was bombed by German boats in WW1 before carrying on down the coast to bomb Scarborough where I believe 6 people were killed. The Grand Hotel was also hit.
      In WW2 Hitler forbade bombing The Grand Hotel as his plan was to use the hotel as his headquarters if he had invaded England.
      Looking forward to the Ripon video. We may even see you…

    Plus I remember going with my girls at 6 in the morning to watch the fish being brought in. Those days of full fishing fleets and huge ships coming into the harbour. I believe it may have been Russian. Never been that close to such a huge ship and it made the harbour look small.
