It's my pleasure
I went to St Ives as a child but I forgot how beautiful it really is. Thank you so much for reminding me.
You are so welcome!

Thank you 🙏
brilliant video, one of the best holidays ive ever had in st ives. been so many times for family vacations
Thanks so much
great place!
Beautiful video of St Ives, thank you for filming it Neil, must be my favourite place in Britain to visit and would be my dream to retire there but would need to win the lottery first lol
Thanks so much
Yes - you and me both
If I win we'll spilt the winnings and get a house each!
Hope the beer was nice and cold? The Sloop maybe,which is my favourite such a characterful pub, great restaurant upstairs,Captains Cabin. The Talay Thai is exceptional tasty food. For travel, forget the car,use the park and ride at St Erth and get on the train. For many the best most scenic section of railway in the country. Well done Neil!!
St. Ives is really awesome and i like this seaside town here especially
the houses and buildings of course with the scenic view of the sea
I'm really enjoying Cornwall a lot thanks again and can't wait for your next video have a wonderful week.🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
Thanks so much - you too!
@@GimbalWalkTV
You are always welcome Thanks.🇬🇧🤠🇬🇧
There on the 22 May. Stunning. But too many dogs on the beaches. Was shocked by that. No 🦭 any more. Guess the dogs scare them. Otherwise. Sunny day. Busy but it’s so so pretty as a town ! Fudge, ice cream and pasties to die for.
Such a busy place!
I’ve been to St Ives many times. It is my favourite place. Thanks for the lovely video, next time you go you must visit Porthmeor beach (especially at sunset) and walk round The Island, in my opinion the most scenic part of St Ives. Not been for 5 years and suffering from st Ives withdrawal symptoms! Glad to see the Beach Restaurant is still on the harbour - one of the best places to eat.
Loved this. My husband was born in South Devon, his mother was Cornish and he spent so much of his childhood in Cornwall fhat he just isn't interested in going back for a holiday. I would love to go to St Ives it looks magical, so thank you for taking me there.
You're welcome!
Yet one more good video. I think the birds are turnstones we saw them 5years ago at a visit.
Hello, the little cute birds are turnstones, love st ives never been but want to
Thanks so much - I love those birds!
I've been to St.Ives a few times and fallen in love with the town. Always been amazing weather when I have been there and had great times paddling followed by fish and chips on the seafront. Happy memories ❤
Perfect!
When I last went to st ives was in 2021 . We are going to sennen cove Cornwall in July. And I carn't what to GO, we sued to go to And stay at bosshaven house Cornwall. AND that's a lovely b&b . Penzance is ALso a nice place to GO. There's SO menny it's hard to choose .TAKE care and all the best. 😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Love St Ives 💜 I have a feather/ bird phobia but those turnstones are so cute; I like to think of them as hamsters with wings😂 it helps me enjoy watching them. Thanks for another great video
The bird is a ruddy turnstone. Great video, love it there.
Thanks so much
Great place
Those birds are so great - love watching them!
Another great video of ST IVES CORNWALL | Full seafront tour of the holiday seaside town of St Ives have been there when i use to Penzance!.
Glad you enjoyed it!
These videos are a great to watch and helps with mental health ,they are a joy to watch,😊😊
Thanks so much - that's why I started the channel to be honest!
Great video thank you. The birds on the harbour are turnstones, so tame
Thank you!
Yes - just waddling around!
Really enjoyed this. My parents loved it here and made the overnight drive down, every year for our holidays. Happy memories. If you do make a return visit you need to explore the back streets with all the old fishermens cottages, quite a few have unusual names. As for a boat trip, i strongly recommend a trip with Wavedancer which is owned by a good friend of mine who is one of the lifeboat crew and very knowledgeable about the area.
Great video, thank you! The little birds are Turnstones
Thank you - they fascinate me how they huddle and waddle around!
Me too! Hope you enjoyed your beer, well deserved for a great tour of beautiful St Ives.
Been to St Ives before, its beautiful!
It is!
I love your walking tours. Another great one. Thank you.
Thank you that means a lot ❤️
Many happy memories with my grandson. Thank you 😊 ❤ UK. Nice music whilst on the 'pier'.
Thank you 🙏
I love st.ives and hopefully will be back there in October.
Hope you make it - it's all here waiting for you!
Lovely place, hard to watch though as my best friend died here back In 2016, he had a heart attack In the sea, I just wanted to see the place where he spent his last holiday.
Oh no - so sorry to hear that
@@GimbalWalkTV Thank you for this video, It gave me a kind of closure
I adore St Ives❤❤❤
You have great taste 👍
Judging by the work in progress at the Pednolva Olva Hotel, you filmed this the day before we arrived! The lovely little birds are called turnstones - I can watch them for hours. Thanks for a super video of one of my favourite Cornish places.
Thanks so much - lovely place isn't it!
St. Ives looks so lovely but I'm guessing it's tourist hell in the summer months. Thanks for sharing, really great video! :)
Yeh I avoid it in summer - nightmarish!
A continent away on the Pacific coast we have small shorebirds called sandpipers that are closely related to your turnstones.
Thanks for video I enjoyed it it's lovely loved the shops, buildings, scenery and especially the harbour and boats.did you enjoy your beer and Cornish pasty love your channel 😅🙏👍☀️⛵
Thank you
The beer and pasty were much needed!
Can't believe how lucky you were with the weather
Neither could I
I had sunburn - not even joking
Got a great suntan!
Ps....you earned your pasty and beer, ooooo how idilic, nice. xxx
Lovely place when did you film this i dont remember a day warm enough this year
Hi there,
Filmed this one last Saturday!
@@GimbalWalkTV Think i will move down there gives me a great excuse lol x
Loved the video, you fully deserved a pint, hope you enjoyed it. Was it filmed last year? Thanks. 😊👍🍺
Filmed last Saturday!
The weather down here has been amazing this last couple of weeks
St Ives is lovely....question :
When you are filming do you record your thoughts on a place while you walk around then put that in your subtitles or or put comments while editing....I really enjoy your commentary....it feels spontaneous...not like a documentary thank you 😊
Hey there
I add it all in during the edit ❤️
I think Land's End is the most westerly point on mainland Britain not the most southerly ? Think the Lizard peninsula is most southerly ?
Ah you're right yes!!
Is Land's End or Lizard Point the most southerly point?
Lizard Point is the most southerly point of mainland Britain, however Land's End is the furthest point from John O Groats in distance, hence it tends to be the place most journeyed to.
great video. the only time i went to st ives, and cornwall at all for that matter, i has severe diahhrea from food poisoning and i remember pooing my pants and getting runny shit all down my leg! absolutely stank! had to go to a public toilet and shit even more then i threw my boxers away and went back to the bed and breakfast and showered. not a fun memory!
Oh no!!! 🤣
I went to St Ive’s 9 years ago, it was such a magical place, I haven’t been since due to poor health. I came with national express, it took 13 hours from Manchester, I hope to visit again in the next few years. 💛☀️🌴🐚
This is like me whenever I go on holiday 😂 I swear I can't eat or drink anything outside of my home town. And seafood - forget it!
All the traffic spoils it for me.
There's no other way round St Ives than along the front I guess - the little narrow streets behind are just too tight for cars
You missed a whole beach! It’s called Porthmeor and it has the Tate gallery on its foreshore and is the main surf beach in the town.
I know
I lived there briefly (18 months) about 30 years ago, busy in summer to the point of being annoying just trying to get about doing day to day stuff, a whole different ball game in winter though. Would I go back? No thanks, I’ve found a less busy seaside town to live in without having to donate a kidney just for a deposit on a house.
😮😮😮😮
Watch out for the seagulls there vicious they will swoop down and nick your pastie.
ha ha yes they're DEMONS!!! 🤣
I've just got back from St.Ives and am baffled as to why you left out the wonderful cobbled lanes. The seafront is gorgeous but doesn't tell the full story.
That's because I filmed four videos - one of which is totally dedicated to the back lanes.
Be baffled no longer!
This one was a 'full seafront tour' hence the title of it!
Would prefer these videos if there was a spoken commentary
That's not what I do x
Nooooooooooooo
Would prefer these videos if there was a spoken commentary.
I dont' do that on this channel x
But then you wouldn't hear this sea and the seagulls, which is part of the charm
Please never do spoken commentary!
