Newbie here! Thank you for cheering me up this morning, watching beautiful Charlestown brought back so many memories of Cornwall holidays with my 2 sons when they were lads. Priceless times. I cant wait to watch more of your walks x
Watching this particular video of Charlestown brought so many memories back for me. For 8 year's running while on holiday with my family at Durporth Holiday site in the 90's I came every single evening to the beach and watch the sun go down. Absolutely beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this video mate, certainly brought memories back for me 👍👍
Have to say that we spend a lot of afternoon and evenings watching your videos because they are infinitely more interesting than what is on TV. We have been to places with you that we have not heard of before.😊
That was a wonderful place to go and see but I have not been there and it is a quite and nice place to stay and walk round and the beach and seagulls as well thanks
1981 I got a job in the village, well the workshop was just up from the pub and we would go and repair China Clay boats mostly at Par. I was a poor student and just needed employment as part of the Sandwich course. Yes lovely times for 6 months. Eventually finding digs with the cleaner and Bar Girl of the Pub. Yes the Rashley. 1 day off for the WEDDING of course!!! But mostly working. Lovely video. David and Lily.
I love Charlestown. I usually stay near Bodmin when I’m in Cornwall and quite often take a drive to Charlestown in the evening for a walk down the harbour 😍
Thank you my friend - it's a lovely little place that doesnt' get enough attention (every time I film there the video doesn't do as well as any of my others - people just dont' know enough about the place to watch it etc) Hope you're enjoying your channel too - been checking out your videos - good work!
@@GimbalWalkTV Thanks Neil. I didn’t expect that, but thank you! We’re using it as a way to get away from the insanity of daily life. We always look forward to your videos because we enjoy your unique style. The information you present at the bottom of the screen is brilliant and the visual quality of your videos is superb. The best I’ve seen. So crystal clear! Keep up the good work, sir!
Excellent video,never knew this place existed, it's now on my visiting list but my wife says that either I give up watching your channel or she wants a donation from you for fuel,so far I've got eleven places on my list for this year alone🤣🤣🤣😍
Were you in Cornwall when they had the snow recently? Charlestown looks like a lovely charming place love the brick on the houses! ☺️ i audibly out loud said to my screen “ooooh a tunnel!” 😂
Thank you for a really beautiful and interesting walk in Charlestown. I have never been there but I have plans of visting some time during this summer. Looking really forward to exploring on my own now that I have got a view here 🥰
11:07 I believe that is a cart recovered from the extensive tunnels that run beneath Charlestown some of which have been cleared and can be accessed through the Shipwreck centre. There is a portal that comes out above the harbour that can bee seen on the back wall at around 30:56 (currently decorated in fake ice)
Another great video. It is fascinating how nature creates the different coastline shapes than humans build harbours etc. They must have spent hours building the walls. I was not expecting the viking boat, my view is historical towns should have a museum to show how and who built and what reason they first settled there. If they charge reasonable fees many would visit and maybe us as a study centers for schools on field trips. I was wondering what the black object I was thinking a creature who knows fish regularly go to that area so they prey on the fish who are returning to the ocean.
You are right Neil, Charlestown is a STUNNING Place thank you so much for showing us round it's another on the list for us to visit ❤
My pleasure!

Welcome!! Thank you very much
As a child in the 60s my parents brought me down here when staying in Trenarron to watch the ships loading china clay, happy days😊

Lovely video, I enjoy the sound of the sea, well done for walking over the rickety bridge.
Many thanks Christine!

One of the places I've not visited in Cornwall as yet but on my bucket list. It looks amazing and thank you for sharing.
We think it was a cormorant in the water! Excellent video 👍
Thank you!
The bird didn’t seem to come back up!
@@GimbalWalkTV they can reappear quite a distance away apparently.
I love Charlestown. I usually stay near Bodmin when I’m in Cornwall and quite often take a drive to Charlestown in the evening for a walk down the harbour 😍
Can see why!
Have you ever stayed at the Jamaica Inn?
@@GimbalWalkTV havent stayed there but have stopped by for dinner 😉
Never even heard of this place but it looks absolutely stunning! The way the light hit the beach took my breath away. Lovely stuff!
Thank you my friend - it's a lovely little place that doesnt' get enough attention

Visited last 2022 in August, a tad busy but was a great place to wile away a few hours! 👍
As seen in Gimble Walks TV episode, Charlestown, A rickety Bridge Too Far.🤣🤣 Beautiful sunrise😊😊
Ha ha that bridge!
The sea looks so inviting n beautiful 😍 wish I was there having a paddle now Xxx 🌊🌊🌊
Love the beautiful harbor!
Beautiful isn't it!
I'm loving the tunnels Xxx bet they are really spooky 👻 at night Xxx 💕

Ha ha yeah that’s going to cost £££ in fuel
(Trust me I know 🤣🤣)
We go to Charlestown every twice a year. Cause my brother & his family has moved to Cornwall in the pandemic .
Was the last strike tv filmed here? Thank you for a lovely reminder of a beautiful port

I was yes! Was so pretty! And unexpected!!

Perfect
Agreed!
Touch wood all being well I may be moving here
Good luck with it - hope it all goes well!
Hi Neil .I should be ok with the bridge but the wall is a different matter good video take care
Ha ha yes I didn’t realise what it would be like till it was too late 🤣
11:07 I believe that is a cart recovered from the extensive tunnels that run beneath Charlestown some of which have been cleared and can be accessed through the Shipwreck centre. There is a portal that comes out above the harbour that can bee seen on the back wall at around 30:56 (currently decorated in fake ice)
Well done with the bridge :) Loving your channel!
Thanks so much! 😊
I know the bridge is just a bridge but my fear/phobia of them means that to me its a huge challenge - but hey - I did it! ha ha!

It’s a cormorant (or shag as it’s known in Cornwall).
It was just a duck searching for a fish 😂 🦆
Or a shag, they're more agile and can dive quickly
Not sure it was a duck?
The little set of wheels I think are bottom of a old coal wagon
Ah thank you!
Very good off for a stake and a beer now.
That's supposed to be a beach
