Author, I admire your ability to admire. I respect people who have not lost their childish enthusiasm.
Thank you for your good movie and good mood!
It's the benefit of never growing up! :)
@@AQUAHOLIC Yes! ))
Never forget what it's like to be 6 years old
@@AQUAHOLIC : Another excellent video & as enjoyable as your previous Torbay Amazing Scenery & Houses walk along.
I love it "children are stupid" .... Yes they are.
As a father of 3 myself ... yes children ARE stupid LOL.
What an amazing area to grow up in. To have that kind of history within walking distance......I just have no words. Incredible, beautiful, fascinating. I kept waiting for you to go on about the boats in the marina in the back of my mind. lol I hope you can spend more time in Cockington in a future video. It must be very nice when all the shops are open
Thanks for sharing your world with us Nick. Nice video!
Wow! The beauty of Devon. Thanks for invigorating us with these lovely walks during lockdown, Nick.
Sir, I think this is a brilliant idea to provide interesting content during these difficult times. It is a good way to show what is ashore as well as what is aboard beautiful boats. For people in urban areas who are shut in now, this is a wonderful little virtual excursion for the mind.
Love how quiet it can be early in the morning with the outstanding natural background music (birds chirping)! Thank you for your videos and stay safe!!
Thank you, you too!
Juan Cardona yeah I really noticed the birds too. It was a spectacular soundscape.
Wonderful scenery. Quintessential Britain: the sea and the countryside. Fine weather as well.
Nothing like a nice long walk to help get that Vitamin D in ya.
Stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant, full of joy and enthusiasm. Just what we need at the moment. Many thanks!
What a lovely and serene place. Wish I could walk there with my family someday... Thank you Nick..
Brilliant, again took me back to the early 80’s holidays and you even showed Cockington mill pond! Thank you sir 👍
Speaking as a citizen of the USA and someone who hasn't been outside the states (except for various Caribbean islands) I must say I REALLY appreciate the architecture and history there. Basically every building there is WAY older than my entire country. Fantastic, and a photographers dream!
thank you for the lovely video. Many years ago I worked at the studio in Cockington. I have loved the village ever since. so many happy memories. I look forward to spending some time back in Torbay - hopefully in the not too distant future!
Good Morning Nick, great walk, they keep Torquay so clean it’s amazing. Thanks for another video !!! ✅✅✅
Morning! :)
A very calming video in unusual times. Thanks for keeping us all sane Nick! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in arguably one of the most charming towns in FL and it doesn't hold a candle to this place. I rarely get jealous of small towns but man I love that area
Thank you for sharing the areas many of us will not be able to see anytime soon or for those of us in the colonies perhaps never. In these trying times your walking in nature with all of its sights and sounds is just the elixir we need to help us cope with sheltering in place. For those critics who only see you as a one dimensional yacht reviewer, perhaps they cannot see the forest for the trees. I sincerely appreciate your humanity.
Torquay, Brixham and Paignton, lovely places where my parents took me as a child.
The people who only watch your yacht videos are really missing out on the incredible scenery of your walking videos. Also they are missing out on your humor "children are stupid" lmao. 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Nick I have Been waiting for walkAholic take 2 we thought you couldn’t top take 1 but you did it hands down 👍🏻pretty beautiful place, I think the hotel on the foreshore looks like a super yacht side on if you get my meaning with the different levels ⚓️😂 what you are doing at the moment is making the best of your situation and I commend you for that, cheers Nick, have a wonderful weekend 👍🏻⚓️😎🍺
I believe they were going for a sort of cruise liner look for the building.
Could you start some sort of “beatification” group to find volunteers and paint some of the rusty bits? And yes, that riot fencing is odd.
But it’s a beautiful place and I’m slightly jealous. I live in Salt Lake City,and miss the ocean. We do have the Great Salt Lake, but has a very funky smell. The one thing we have are places like Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon that are absolutely gorgeous so it’s not too bad. That said, I enjoyed see your walk.
Stunning. What a wonderful place to live. The other great thing is that you appreciate it. Really enjoyed the two walks. Wonderfully captured. Thank you.
I am living vicariously through you Nick since I'm all cooped up in my apartment in NYC. Such a beautiful and enchanting place.
Another one next week, and a superyacht tour on Sunday. Stay tuned! :)
Thank you for that calming and tranquil walking tour! Torquay is such a beautiful part of England. You made me really miss it and stirred old and fond memories from when I lived there. Please keep posting!
Hey Nick, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy having our morning tea and coffee watching your videos, but we especially enjoy the walking tours through what HAS to be the prettiest location in England!! All that being said, we have never been to England yet so we really can't compare! If only there was a hidden microphone to hear the "OOOOHS" and "AHHHS" coming from our mouths, it would be quite funny! Honestly, your piece of England is quite FANTASTIC!!! THANK-YOU and stay safe!!!
That's awesome, glad they're bringing pleasure. Another next week!
Thanks, Nick for taking us with you for a nice walk in a beautiful British town. Who needs a superyacht if you can have a walk like this every day in such a beautiful surrounding.
I am from the Netherlands and visited the English east and northeast coast more than a couple of times on sail, but you definitely inspired me to change course the next time and set sail to the south.
( You should have a dog (name it Miele) it would be the happiest dog in the world )
Anton Kramer Start from Chichester Harbour in the South of England and head west, hug the coastline until you reach John o' Groats in Scotland. Absolutely beautiful coastline. I'm sure Nick would agree 😀👍
Great episode of Stompaholics. Cockington looks like a fab day out!
It's sad how the seaside towns of the UK are often so neglected. On a good day, our coastline is hard to beat, yet the towns seem to rely so much on their past glory days to attract visitors.
I have friends that live in Torquay centre, and I know there are certainly challenges with some of the locals!
Fabulous place to live though. That constant sea air. I envy you !! Take good care Nick. Xx
Love Torbay and Devon so going with you on your early morning walks is a real treat. Thank you for sharing and hope there are many more.
Beautiful countryside! Thanks for the upload! Stay safe
Thanks, you too!
Love this , thank you soooo much . As an NHS worker whose life has been turned upside down , thank you for making me remember the good bits of life too . Remembering all those who have walked these paths and those who may be able to do once again where ever they are . Please stay safe .
This has turned out to be the best thing i have watched on youtube all year. Please keep making them.
Hoping to. Got one already lined up for next week so stay tuned. :)
You live in a very beautiful part of the world. My city has a history that goes back to the middle ages too, but most of it is packed in the city centre so it has a very different atmosphere. A lot of RUclipsrs struggle to get videos out in this weird world we live in now, your walkabouts are a nice change to the channel and help me relax. Sure I am looking forward to watching full access tours of mega yachts but until then these videos will do very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! :)
That is definitely something I like about Britain. The history. Cockington. Amazing. I really appreciate old architecture. Over here in Canada we might se something a couple of hundred years old, but to see something from the 1500’s. Brilliant. Thank you for taking us on a journey in time
Having grown up in Torquay in the 1960s now living in Norfolk. I really enjoyed looking at your videos showing the lovely views and walks and enjoyed reminiscing over regular Sunday afternoons walk around the gardens and lakes in Cockington . Thank you so much. I will also leave a comment on your walk around Marine Drive so good. Cant go back !! and of course it will never be the same !!
Glad you enjoyed it
Bless you Nick! I don't know which I like better, your boat tours or your scenic ones. They're both fantastic!
Glad you like them!
My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your beautiful walks and your bright and amusing presentation. So lovely to be able to sit back and enjoy those coastal paths and scenery which we are unable to do ourselves at the moment, real escapism with the promise of things to come. My wife really enjoys the music you play too. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!
Thank you, another coming next week 🙂
Again good walking historical video Nick as we in Ontario Canada are still waiting for spring to make an appearance. The scenery was fantastic even palm trees & other greenery as springtime in the UK. The lakes should be called ponds or overgrown puddles for if you can’t float a boat in them the designation of lake is an oxymoron but nevertheless in a beautiful scenic location. I see you guys still drive on the wrong side of the road LOL perhaps you might educate those who don’t know that origin to the reason why. Keep up the travelogue Nick I enjoy your videos & insights.
I'm enjoying these intimate little walks of yours. They remind me of my youth, before motorised transportation was a thing in my life. I never had such a detailed knowledge of my surroundings as I did when I was young and walked *everywhere* .
For instance, I haven't walked around Cockington since 1989/1990.
These days, it's all main roads and A to B. And you miss out on all the little nooks and crannies.
Thanks for taking us with you.
You're very welcome :)
Another great and beautiful walk, I really enjoyed this and looking forward to more. You have discovered another string to the Aquaholic bow and have taken to it like the proverbial duck!
Never heard of Cockington before but it's gone straight on the to do list,looks like a beautiful place to visit,so thanks for sharing.
Some nice toys in that marina,again haven't walked that part for many years,last time I'm sure there were bars underneath that new development,could be wrong mind
was a long long time ago. Come on the powers that be in Torbay a lick of paint wouldn't go a miss along there.
Nick - love your videos! My fiancé and I watch your yacht tours. She loves them because you’re so calming that she will peacefully fall asleep while watching your videos! All we can both say is thank you. Now we watch some of your videos on nights where we cannot sleep. Very peaceful and comforting.
I do have that effect on people..! :D
Hi Nick. What a lovely walk. Stunning scenery. Your application for amenities and seafront renovation has been accepted by Torbay Council. Enjoy all your videos. Stay safe and well. 😎🛥
Incredible views, we always think of exotic locations for beauty, but sometimes the most beautiful places are in our own back garden (so to speak). Thanks Nick, for sharing your own back garden with us. Stay healthy
I love this. I hope that, once things start returning to normal, you can still work in some of these walks with your normal yacht videos.
That was truly delightful, what a lovely walk. Such warmly captured and crafted together, loved it. 👍
Do enjoy your walking videos, this one brings back lots of childhood & adult memories. The wife & I have walked up those illuminated steps many times with lovely views over the marina & bay on a crisp November evenings.
When I was very little on a family holiday (I think in Norfolk) I looked out of a window and promptly declared “look at those cows a long time ago” ......classic!
Nick, Really enjoyed this walking tour of Cockington and your marina. I never realized your part of the country was so beautiful. Keep up the good work and the walking tours. Not everyone's cup of tea but my wife and I really enjoy them. Keep on walking.
Used to live in Torquay for 4,5 yr. On St. James`s Rd, Parkhill and in Willows finally. Best time of my life.
Stunning scenery as usual Nick - Thank you!! Also some amazing music in this video. Keep 'em coming and greetings from Aberdeenshire.
Much as I enjoy your boat & motor home reviews this was a lovely stroll in a beautiful area. Thank you for filming & sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a miserable lot! I'm loving your walking tours, You keep on making them. I will keep on watching them!!! Stay healthy.
Who is?
@@AQUAHOLIC The people who don't like your "walking" videos.
@@ToastandJam52 Ahh, got you! :)
Wow, lovely vid thank you for taking us on that little adventure. I all of a sudden would love to visit that area
That was gorgeous, Nick. Such a beautiful part of the world, with natural beauty and some really characterful architecture to enjoy. I heard a Green Woodpecker briefly, and Blackcap Warblers too, up by the lakes, very relaxing. And yes, I feel much fitter after that, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Another coming tomorrow :)
This one bought back a lot of memories from living in Dartington and working in Torquay 25 years ago - many a pint enjoyed in The Drum in Cockington and many other places including The Royal at Babbacombe and of course The Cary Arms.
Thanks for this one - bought a lot of emotions to the fore (however I will stick to N. Highlands at the moment ;-) )
You bought back some memories from 10 years ago visiting Cockington with the children. Cheers Nick 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy your walking videos. I get to see the pretty places you go to.
Love your walking and tours! While I like your yacht tours, your walking tours are also special. You live in a beautiful part of the world and with your yacht tours you have the ability to transmit your enthusiasm for both. Very enjoyable! While I live inland in the US, Kentucky, I have always loved the sea and got to spend time when I was younger with my Grandmother who lived on the coast of Maine. Your area reminds me a lot of Maine. Thank you for sharing,
Thanks for watching :)
Just to say a big thank you for posting these walking videos around Torbay, whilst it’s not an expensive yacht which I will never afford, it is a beautiful area that we can look forward to visiting once things get back to some sort of normality.
What a beautiful area in which you live. I love your walking videos, in fact I have them saved and pull them up occasionally to enjoy your fantastic scenery! I enjoy your boats too, but the walks are something special.
Glad you like them!
Thoroughly enjoy your walks, so much so that I followed your route on Maps today. Thank you.
Again a very welcome tonic both informative and relaxing viewing.
For us all to share with you when our world feels a bit smaller than we would like just now.
Hope both the SL and Smugglers Blues are on trickle charge? As these videos keep us all topped up with your positive enthusiasm, happy banter and an eye for detail in all around you. Cheers Nick.
Great Nick very natural...felt I was walking beside you. That part of England is a fav of mine Now living in Queensland Aus and a regular viewer of your vids. Thanks keep going my friend....
A lovely place to start at Rock walk. Corbyn head in the sunshine ☀️. Then up to Cockington a lovely showcase of Torquay. We are lucky to have this on our doorstep.
Thanks for sharing our beautiful town.
Also the man who got stuck under the water wheel 35 ish years ago was my wife’s uncle, still don’t know what he was up to.
What a lovely 23 plus minutes. Thoroughly enjoyed your walk Nick. I must say that cricket pitch looks a pretty special place to play...great video@
Glad you enjoyed it
Last one. Dad story from me. When my eldest son was little he used to want to sleep with his head under the pillow. It used to scare the hell out of us as parents. I told him one night that if he slept with his head under the pillow the tooth fairy would come along and take all his teeth out! I also informed him he would get about £30 for all those teeth. Nevertheless, he had a nightmare that night and told his mum the next day what I had said. The wife put me on the naughty step for a week!
Mothers - no sense of humour! :D
Well done mate, I know it's difficult in the times we are in, keep doing what you are doing!
Loving the birdsong. Really the beauty of living in the UK - walkways that cost nothing but priceless for their tranquility and charm.
So many good memories of this place, sad to see it so quiet; fantastic to see it in such good condition.
A great video, stunning scenery, a brilliant soundtrack that ties in nicely, put in an ocean view with a marina so it ties in with the Aquaholic theme and your onto a winner. More please. x
Glad you enjoyed it
A few words Nick, Beautiful, beautiful,Keep safe and best wishes from sunny Liverpool.
Lovely tour Nick. Thank you.
Good morning Nick. 5 am here in Calgary. Thanks for the video
Enjoy! :)
Thank you very much for bringing me on a tour around your “kingdom” Nick,and I hope and look forward to more videos like this,and I hope that you and your family have a very good weekend,and take care of each other :) :) :)
Brilliant, do more of these... Lovely to see especially while some of us are stuck hundreds of miles from the sea and leaves on trees are still weeks away (Alberta Canada) 👍
Thanks, will do!
Yet another brilliant walk. Personally I enjoy these video's far more than the ones you make about expensive boats. Why? Because while the boats are out of the reach of non-millionaires, even everyday people can visit the very places you've highlighted in these 'walk' video's. Also, just as with Dartmouth, you're retracing some of the beautiful places I and my partner have enjoyed so many wonderful times in. Now we live in Queensland Australia and yes, it's a great place but NOTHING can ever beat the beauty of one's homeland at it's very best. PLEASE keep making these 'walk' video's!
Such a beautiful place. How lucky can a man get. Stay safe Nick.
Thank you, I will
Lovely video, i often find my self climbing somewhere to get a nice view so these videos are very enjoyable, great watch too ;)
6:38 really made me laugh as well as the crossing story
We went to Torquay in April and October and would love to go back again, we loved the fish and chip shop/ cafe in Abbey sands.
Mt Nick, what a wonderful stroll you showed us, I was walking with you al along and wonder what a beautiful place you live in and how awesome Your island is 😊😊😊
Unable to do these walks this year due to the lock-down. Thanks for doing these and reminding us all what we are missing around wonderful Torbay.
Oh God Nick, this literally brought tears to my eyes, 18 years now since I moved to Ireland and its always the rivers, old houses, and canals that I really miss, Ireland is so similar yet so different. Thank you again for making these
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Good grief that was fast. I'm thinking I might do a few films of tough am, I'll let you know.
Auto correct! Youghal.
0:18 - are you self isolating in Australia or somewhere sub tropical like that? Palm trees, turquoise water, making the rest of the UK very jealous!
Really enjoy this non - review stuff
It's the English Riviera, doncha know! :)
A rainy, damp, chilly, and raw AM here in Pennsylvania. I stumbled upon your other video...loved it..so looked especially for another one, and based on this, would suggest you do this regularly. You've got a good eye..except for the fact you never just go right up to the door of some of the more interesting houses, knock and ask for a look around inside..now that's a video!! Joking of course. Thank you.
I could 'yacht tour' them as I pass! :D
Again I'll say it. You are blessed to live there. Very beautifull. That village makes it seem like you stepped back in time. I loved it.
Great video. Love how you capture some of these images. Great editing.
Keep safe Nick.
Lol braver than me.
The power lines underground. I can relate.
Keep them coming Nick, and thanks for keeping us all entertained
such a beautiful place to walk, keep them coming Nick. love watching
One of you best posts Nick... Love the scenery... Love the music... I live in the Morecambe Bay area. The part of the country that have massive pylons with the wires that bow between them and blind people driving cars.... LMAO..... But twenty minutes away we have the Lake District where the views can rival the best in the world. Great walking with you.
thank you for posting this - I put it to a large screen and sat with my coffee and enjoyed every second
Awesome 🙂
So lovely to see beautiful South Devon, so many fond memories of family holidays spent there! Looking forward to seeing many more walks. Take care and stay safe from our family in Thailand 🌈
Hey there Thailand! :)
Chocolate box architecture to walk past, beautiful. Thanks :)
You just have to love the ocean. Cockington looks really nice. Great video Nick
Gidday, Its great to see you being a little more natural. I.e. telling jokes and enjoying the walk; plus showing your part of the world (still green with envy, I am). I also half expected to see Miss Marple wandering the streets of Cockington, too. Cheers from an envious Aussie. PS: Stay safe, mate 😀😵
Thank you once again for a magnificent and idyllic tour. Very relaxing and peaceful. I honestly cannot say how nice this video is. I am placing Torquay on my bucket list.
You should start a second channel called Trailaholic.
Thanks so much for posting your walks. I am really enjoying see part of the UK as I live in California. I enjoy all of your videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks, more coming! :)
Great thanks Nick. Whilst the area tours are really nice to see, Looking forward to the yaght tours again as we all are. Could you tour some of the Galleon fleet please. Cheers.
Very much hoping to but can't tour anything at the moment, hence the walking videos.
That was such an excellent journey!
Such a beautiful and scenic place. Would love to visit one day.
Wow! I really enjoy all the boats that you show. Don't miss any of those. We are in a 5 week lockdown and are not allowed to leave our homes. Seeing your videos about your hometown makes me feel I am traveling, I am on a adventure! I was actually sad when it ended. Back to the reality of lockdown, I suppose...Thanks man!
Another one next week! :)
Beautiful scenery Nick, two videos of walking in the sun, in the UK??. Must be photoshop surely :) Cockington looks stunning, I must visit some day. I'm off to enjoy my own bit of sunshine and go for a walk myself. Stay safe all. Cheers Nick
That was really lovely. I hope you keep doing these once everything gets back to normal.
Britain has some great places to visit, or live. I'm also lucky to live in a fantastic location. 😁
