- 1-hour walk around Sandbanks
Join me as I nose around the posh houses of Sandbanks and enjoy one of the best beaches in Europe on a sunny May day. Sandbanks, arguably home to some of the most expensive real estate in the world, has a reputation as the playground of the rich and famous, with mansions and a sub-tropical climate to match. I love Sandbanks for the fabulous beach and the chain ferry, but couldn't resist a trot around the pavements to point my camera at any house that took my fancy. And the beach was glorious:) Enjoy!

Best place ever so far i’ve ever visited. Love Sandbanks. 👍🏻
Try M ontpellier in Cheltenham…
Thanks for posting this. I went to Sandbanks as a kid, we stayed in one of the old '20s houses. It had a landing inside that went round in a circle from each side of the stairs.Lots of nooks and crannies. I've always remembered it. It's probably not there any more.
I think it's a shame that the place has been developed the way it has, the place has lost some of its character. Good to know the trees have a preservation order. It's very uplifting to see them.
I love the old 20s places and agree, it's a shame it's got the reputation and development that it has because it's a wonderful beach and unique location. We were there yesterday and my son commented how nice it would be to have some places to eat, drink and enjoy the view along the beach rather than all those spots being taken over by big private houses. Thank you for commenting:) Angela
Your little video is spot on. What a delight to watch and thank you.Graham.
Well thank you so much and you are very welcome 😀
This is the first year for about 35 I haven’t done the same walk myself so really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!
You are very welcome Tim:) Sorry to hear you haven't been able to do the walk this year and it is my pleasure to bring it to you, vicariously! All the best, Angela
This is so beautiful! Thank you for the lovely tour, I feel like I was there with you ❤️
Ahhh thank you Leila, that's so kind, much appreciated😊
This video is so great 😍
Love just sitting infront of my computer watching you walk around there 🙏🏼
Brings back memories 🥺
You're doing an amazing job, keep it up , the video wouldn't be as good as it is without you being the "tour guide", so well done 🙏🏼🙏🏼
So glad you liked it, and I appreciate the feedback about my amateur tour guiding, thank you👍
Absolutely beautiful area with its stunning beaches and flash houses - loved your guided tour of the area Angela, thank you!
You are welcome:) It's SO hard not to nose at the houses; I've even worked out which one is Harry K's house after he was on Celebrity Gogglebox! All the best, Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela He doesn't live on 117 Banks Road anymore. He moved out after the program.
@@galdessa1 Ah now, that is excellent precision there with the actual house number! I have seen so many people walking along there with their cameras trying to find the exact house, especially after Harry and his wife appeared on Gogglebox. I wonder if his new house is complete yet or if he is still in his rather nice temporary accommodation. All the best, Angela
I really enjoyed this video. Probably one of the best videos about the history of Sandbanks etc.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words:) Angela
🍎Great walk this. Love the descriptions and information you give as you walk. Such a beautiful area no wonder it’s the haunt of the rich and famous. - H
Lovely to hear from you Henry and thank you so much:) In some ways it's a shame it has that reputation, because it's a lovely beach and the chain ferry over to Studland is charming. Hope all is well with you. Angela
This is like lovely thank you so much. Will be visiting soon.
If you catch the open top bus from swanage you get a nice drive through the countryside, a ride on the ferry and then get to drive through sandbanks on your way to Bournemouth
I love that bus ride, although rather mistimed it and sat on top on a freezing cold day! I might film it if I can when the weather warms up. All the best, Angela
Watching this October 2022. Having been to Jersey. Hoping your as happy as I am now
Love sandbanks, stayed in the Sandbanks hotel , only for a night but was lovely, also stayed in a house on the beach, sand dunes in the garden, amazing !!
Fantastic! It was staying at the Sandbanks Hotel about 15 years ago that made me fall in love with the place. IMHO, it has changed a lot since then, but I truly can't get enough of the beach. We also love having breakfast at the cafe next to the chain ferry. All the best, Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela We stayed at Sandbanks Hotel 7 years ago first week in October, the weather was amazing, hot !! It is such a lovely place and area ,going down to Lulworth cove in September so will go to Sandbanks on the way, All the best Judi 🙂
Lulworth is lovely, haven't been in decades so perhaps it's time for a return visit. Fingers crossed that summer weather finally arrives for September! Angela
Hello Angela we do hope all is well . Sandbanks is such a wonderful place to visit. we love living in Dorset we are only a 10 minute walk to our nearest Beach which has 7 miles of Golden sands. thanks for sharing wonderful Dorset with us. we hope you have a wonderful day Stay safe Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
Hey there Sarah and Glenn, and you are very welcome👍 I absolutely adore the whole area and am planning to film the Bournemouth Christmas lights and market. All the best, Angela
Very interesting and cool video. Thank you.
Fantastic walk! Glad your doing well!
Thank you Frank, I hope you are well too:) Angela
Thank you so much for this. Lived in Poole for years and had no idea those pathways existed. Live in Halifax, Nova Scotia now so followed the old sea traders’ route!
What a fabulous comment:) It was on Katherine Ryan's Who Do You Think You Are, so was news to me too; it just all sounds so exciting, but must have been rather a tough voyage back then. Angela
How different is Canada from England? I have to decide where to do my master
@@wendyllanos6728 England can be chilly….Canada can be ice blocks…make sure you’ve got a wooly jumper…
Really nice to see other people walk places that I have been.
It's a lovely place to walk:) Missing it so much during lockdown.
I've never been there but would love to go. Thanks for sharing this.
Hey there, lovely to hear from you again. Yes, it's a great spot especially on the long summer days. All the best. Angela
My regular place since late 1950s, great to enjoy now l live in the South Pacific. Was a great place then would not want to tackle the traffic these days.
So glad I could bring this back to you:) The traffic is truly nightmare-ish sometimes, but on other days you sort of sweep through in minutes - best to avoid the school holidays!
This is nice, thanks for the tour...
You are very welcome 👍
the Seaton family owned the Sandbanks Yacht Co, the garage on the entrance my dad almost bought in 1963 for 25000 pounds but my mum objected. There used to be opposite an old lady with race Horses that ran along the beach. the two new houses opposite the Yacht Company owned by Midlands Estate Agent Mr Hipkiss. Lots of memories with our boat there.
Fascinating pieces of information, thank you so much for sharing those:) Angela
Thank u for the lovely video.. wow it could be Miami
It's a lovely beach isn't it and it goes for miles. All the best, Angela
Sensational video ; love it !
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Thankyou, enjoyed that and very much want to go there now.
You and me both, and thank you so much:) Angela
Hey love great vlog and walk cheers stay safe
Thank you so much, really appreciate it:) Angela
lovely video thank you - I am planning a trip there soon from London
I don't blame you, get in before it fills up! I'm in Sandbanks this morning and it is grey and a bit damp, but just lovely, can't wait to get to the beach. All the best, Angela
Hi Angela I watched this video the day you posted it . But since then I have been very busy with work and other things so why I am late with commenting on the video my apologies for that .
But another great video I never been to the sunnybank in Kent. But have heard and now after this video it is very beautiful indeed . Keep up the great work as always . Thank you very much .

Hello and no need to apologise at all, glad to hear from you:) And yes, Sandbanks is a really lovely spot, which coincidentally was covered on one of the day-time TV shows yesterday doing a 'perfect dog walks' feature - we had seen them filming but didn't know what for at the time! I hope you are well. Angela
Let's Walk London, my fellow walker and pleasured glory friend, it is an honor to the highest degree and maximum extent to lay my eyeballs upon the newest contents of your channel. Please never stop!
You are so kind, thank you so much😀 I hope all is going great with you👍 Angela
Nicely explained 👌
Thank you:)
perfect video
Thank you, I really appreciate it🙂
Great job
Thanks Paris👍😀
Enjoyed it thanks
Thank you and you are very welcome:)
The UK version of Outer Banks, i love it 😍
I have not been this part of UK but would love 💔 to come this way very quiet 🤫 at this moment there residential area look 👀 beautiful cool and calm stay safe and stay connected ♥️👍♥️👍
Thank you and yes, it is so nice to visit there, a lovely long sandy beach to walk and as you say, beautiful houses:)
Lovely walk . Didn't need the loo after all .
Good to hear:)
I would argue that beach walks needn't be interesting, as long as they are relaxing and visually stimulating.
This is a question I wrestle with a lot. I am thinking of making a new channel dedicated to beach and countryside walks. The decision on whether to talk or just leave it to speak for itself is something I am thinking about in-depth. If you have thoughts, do let me know as I'm going back and forth a bit. All the best, Angela
I used to work at the RMYC. Trip down memory lane. xoxo
So glad to revive some of those memories for you:) I hope the RMYC hasn't changed too much - it would be nice if a few things could stay just as they were! Angela
Fantastic ☘👍
Thank you👍
Very lovely place
Hello Angela
Great walk. Could use a nice beach right now as it feels like 36 today and it is going to stay that way all next week. Take care. Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Oooh, that sounds WAY too hot, I do hope you have air conditioning. Thank you as always👍 Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela
Hi Angela Yes I have air conditioning and I am a short distant from Lake Ontario where we have a beach which is where I proposed to Sandra. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
You have a lovely voice and your diction and phrasing are exemplary. You should consider doing voice-overs and/or audio books.
Wow, Barbara, thank you SO MUCH, this is such a lovely encouraging comment:) It has come at the perfect time as I am launching a meditation channel within the next two weeks and am having doubts as to whether my voice is up to it! So I will record away with your supportive words echoing in my head:) Thank you again, Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Be sure and post the site when you open it so we can check it out.

Nice tour, Harry redknapp lives in sandbanks. I saw getting in his car last week!
I think I'm the only person that hasn't seen him there! I saw people at the beach taking photos of his house a few days ago. The windows were open so they must have been in!
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela he was in the toilet i saw him
@@richlee509 Not much chance of me seeing him in the ladies!
Hi Angela... this part of UK looks Amazing... nothing like the usual country side... very impressed... sooo soo sad everything is STILL locked down... Bye for now🙋♀️
Honestly, I don't know if you can tell but I absolutely love going there. Forget the big houses, the beach and the little ferry to another amazing beach, it's all fantastic, I feel truly grateful whenever I walk along the beach at Sandbanks. Yes, when will the world come back to normal? How is it where you are? Are you concerned about tourists bringing Covid? I think I'll do my first train journey to London in 4 months next week, complete with face mask of course😎
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela..... Tourists have actually arrived here on Rhodes Island 4days now... first of all its nice to see restaurants.. hotels open again... not all about 60%...I do trust the Greek system.. which they test everyone... even the hotels... take frequent temperatures of their clients... but yes I do feel a bit worried.... we are living a very different normal... TAKE CARE... Keep your GOOD WORK ROLLING💞🙋♀️👍👍
Every time I go down sandbanks they are knocking one down to build another one bigger and better .i don’t know if you know this but they have blue roof to keep to pigeons and seagulls off um ..I guy told me that when I worked on Bournemouth hospital when they was building it 20 yr ago .Nice walk cheers 🙂✌️
That's fascinating about the blue roof, thanks for passing it on:) It is a bit annoying, IMHO, the constant rebuilding of everything; I personally quite like the little old bungalows but when they go up for sale they get snapped up by property developers. And you are welcome, thank you:)
I was hoping to see The Horseshoe, I helped build a gorgeous house in that road with my father many years ago
Now THAT is a lovely road, such a great location on the harbourside 😀
Fanbloodytastic
Harbour Gate was Harry Redknapp's old house!
The best houses by far are in Lilliput, Canford Cliffs and Branksome and Evening Hill. It’s like Grand Designs on steroids, all just a short walk away.
I love Evening Hill and yes, it's definitely on the list. Which do you think are the best spots in Lilliput? I try to have a nose when we pick up Thai or Fish & Chips, especially those places backing onto the harbour. All the best, Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela I would say Allington road, Bingham avenue, Minterne road, Brudenell road. The whole area is stuffed full of premiere roads, the best ones are Western ave, Bury road, Martello Road and everything between The Avenue and Canford Cliffs road. We moved here from NW London 3 years ago and spent weeks walking around the stunning pine tree lined roads admiring the incredible houses. I don’t think it’s easy to capture this place on video though, you can never do it justice. Also I would avoid filming on ‘bins out’ day.
@@marsha1963 Lol, agreed, there are limits! And yes, it's not easy to capture the places that well on video, it should translate, but it just doesn't somehow:/ There's something lovely about driving along The Avenue that just says 'you're here'! We are hoping to move more permanently into the area in the next few years from SW London; just a pipe dream for now, but we are trying! It sounds like it worked out well for you. Thank you for all those great suggestions. All the best, Angela
Hello from Cherkessk
Hello from London :)
Do you make the videos only with dji osmo pocket?
Yes, I use the DJI Osmo Pocket for all my filming these days. I used to use an old mobile phone on a DJI gimbal plus the Canon G7X for talking to camera, but I find the Osmo Pocket a good all rounder. Angela
Most common question asked is where they keep the Sandbanks chain ferry?
They Moore it in Southampton when it goes for checks, and issues.
Thank you so much for adding this information, much appreciated:) I remember on its breakdown in, I think 2019, when they were waiting for the part from Norway or somewhere similar, it was docked up on the Studland side for quite a while, all lit up in th evenings and it was quite surreal that it wasn't in operation. All the best, Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Yes,I think it was. I do have a holiday home in Sandbanks (on the beach side) and I know that the chain ferry is great fun. However, without it it is an absolute pain to get to Studland!
@@Aviation365 Agreed, everything changes then! Lucky you on the beach side; we are on an 'interior' road for our flat but looking to move to near one of the chines to get more beach adjacent and more space:)
Great video. Are there toilets there near the beach? Not the cafe ones?
Yes, the main car park has public toilets. I was there today and they are open. Thank you for your kind comment:) Angela
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Thank you! I don't blame you going often, it looks like it could be abroad.
My son and I were walking along the beach when I read your comment so we were able to confirm they are open! Forget about the playground of the rich and famous label, it's an amazing beach which my whole family absolutely adore, so yes, we do go as often as we can! Angela
Of more interest , are the public loos open ?
Yes
I haven't been in months (to Sandbanks!), but I would imagine they are as this was quite an omission IMHO when they weren't open during first lockdown.
They are open, I live near by. Just been shutting around 4pm ish
@@karenyeshua5086 Excellent, thank you👍 It’s going to get so busy there soon.
It's like.....
Get yourself a 10ft selfie stick for over the walls 🤔😂
Love it😀👍
Let's Walk London I just remembered I did a video on my record beating selfie stick 😂

I like you mam. V v nice
Are the people nice there
Yes, I find people in the Bournemouth area to be very friendly.
Err Sandbanks is actually in the bigger Borough of Poole
John Lennons mimi lived here…
Thank you for that, I didn't know that bit of history about his Aunt Mimi👍
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela Menlove avenue to Sandbanks in one easy move..it can be done..
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela but where in sandbanks that is the question…
I think I saw a picture online somewhere of an older style bungalow on Panorama Road.
@@ChattyWalkswithAngela ooh that’s interesting..tonight on panorama Mimi..
Sewage waste in the sea
Home to the rich and famous HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Goodness you would have gained so much by talking to a few locals, this video conveys just about zero local information. And you completely missed the most desirable properties on Sandbanks.
I’m waiting for the Stephen Allen tour of sandbanks…Where did Max Bygraves live?
