SKEGNESS | Full tour of seaside town Skegness
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2024
- Skegness, a seaside holiday town on Lincolnshire's east coast, isn't just a resort town, it's a portal to classic British seaside experiences. We have a walk from the beach and seafront, along the promenade, into the town and down to the pleasure beach and pier.
Imagine miles of golden sands melting into the North Sea, the perfect canvas for building sandcastles that rival medieval fortresses. Take a refreshing dip in the cool waters, or continue a tradition over a century old with a donkey ride along the water's edge.
The Skegness seafront thrums with activity. Bustling arcades overflow with games that test your reflexes and tickle your funny bone. Adrenaline seekers can find their fix at the Skegness Pleasure Beach, a wonderland of thrilling rides and joyous screams. After a day of excitement, test your skills at the ten-pin bowling alley, or lose yourself in the mesmerizing illuminations that bathe the pier in an ethereal glow. The iconic Embassy Theatre offers a delightful show to cap off a perfect evening.
But Skegness caters to more than just classic seaside fun. Families will find themselves spoilt for choice. The Natureland Seal Sanctuary provides a heart-warming opportunity to learn about rescued seals, penguins, and otters.
The Skegness Water Leisure Park promises a day of aquatic adventures on water slides and in swimming pools.
Budget-conscious travelers will find solace in Skegness's affordability. A range of self-catering apartments, caravan parks, guesthouses, and hotels offer comfortable stays that won't break the bank. Delicious and affordable meals are never far away, with restaurants, cafes, and fish and chip shops lining the streets.
Skegness offers hidden gems. History buffs can take a trip back in time with a visit to the Skegness Clock Tower and learn about the town's rich past. Or, for an evening of entertainment, the Embassy Theatre offers a window into the world of classic seaside shows.
Whether you're a family with young children seeking sandy adventures, a group of friends yearning for a fun-filled getaway, or a couple looking for relaxation by the sea, Skegness has something special to offer everyone.
Here are the top ten picks for must-visit locations when planning your Skegness escape:
1. *Skegness Beach:* The star of the show, this sprawling golden beach is the perfect place for building sandcastles, enjoying a refreshing paddle in the North Sea, or simply soaking up the sun.
2. *Natureland Seal Sanctuary:* Home to rescued seals, penguins, otters, and a variety of other marine animals, the Natureland Seal Sanctuary offers a heartwarming opportunity to learn about conservation efforts and see these fascinating creatures up close.

5. *Skegness Aquarium:* Embark on an underwater adventure at the Skegness Aquarium, where a diverse array of marine life awaits, from local fish species to captivating sharks and colorful coral reefs.

I love skegness for me it my favorite place to go 🌅😊
Me too, probably been there every year of my life! Including Ingoldmells and Chapel St Leonards. I love it 😊
It's ace!
@@GimbalWalkTV sure is. Many childhood memories for me, and now I take my kids there, and they love it too!
@@oohrah81me too bro!! I do the same for my daughter what my grandparents did for me, Skegness every summer 😂 going again in July this year 👌🏻
@@se7ensfarm112
Sounds like you had/have some amazing grandparents, mate! My favourite place as a kid was the Dunes pub, at Winthorpe, but it sadly burned down years ago. We're off to Butlins in October 😊 enjoy your holiday!
Another great & fantastic video of SKEGNESS | Full tour of seaside town Skegness👍👍
Thanks so much

great walk and have a wonderful week.🇬🇧👋👋🇬🇧
Thank you
Hopefully we get some sunshine at some point this week!
I love skegness , always have , like your videos 😊😊
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Ah the memories! I always found it to be such a pleasant place as a child and in my working life too. At weekends we would work special holiday trans to Skegness when I was a Guard at Rotherwood. The old coaching stock with compartments would fill up with old people staying in lodgings as they called them. He would be wearing a white shirt and grey flannels with the waistband round his chest, and either a flat cap or a knotted handkerchief on his bonce. She would be in a frock with a new apron over the top, and would be sporting hair curlers with a headscarf over the top. The whole train would smell of moth balls. During the journey, out would come the sandwiches and flask of tea, and the air would be alive with the sound of clattering plastic teeth., which they produced from a pocket or handbag. We'd later pick up the ones we'd taken the week before and fetch them back to Sheffield. The following week that cycle would repeat. What I liked about it was the three hour turnaround in which we could get free fish and chips from the grateful shop owners and go to play some daft game in an arcade instead of the normal constant slog of freight working. It brought back memories of colleagues who are no longer with us.
We use the trawlers catch. Very nice. Excellent service
Agreed!
I absolutely love Skegness! And I’m visiting in a few weeks time! And for fish and chips it’s always trawlers catch for me ❤
Great fish and chips - I loved mine!
Sameeeeeee!!! Beautiful fish there
Lovely video. I love to see Skegness and do miss it when I'm not there.
I think the reason it keeps getting voted the worst is because the people surveyed tend to be ones who want to go to quiet little places, out of the way, with not many young families. It certainly doesn't deserve to be vpted the worst. There is so much to see and do. And the sandy beach, as you say, is so big. It is never overcrowded, plenty of space.
Skegness is perfect for me and my family. We come back every year. And it isn't just the beach and so on either- it's the people. They are always so welcoming and friendly. Thanks for the video❤
Agreed and thank you so much!
Thank you for these enjoyable videos. I like to watch one each afternoon. The seaside was always my favourite and have been too many of those shown. Great memories for me. I most probably won't get to visit again. Looking forwards for more
Love skegness tonys is our favourite chippy. The breakfasts at route 66 in lucky strike are superb. Go as often as possible it has everything beach arcades bars & shopping. Great video☺☺☺☺☺
I'm visiting for the first time June 10th till 14th. This video made me feel very excited to go. It honestly looks awesome to me. And from seeing this video I can't understand why people say its the worst seaside town. Like you said yourself it's not at all!! This video surely proves that. I'm sure im going to have a lovely time and I cannot wait!! ❤ Thank you for making this awesome video and enabling me to feel sooo excited to go!! 😊
You will have a great time
It’s such a fun place to go
Very relaxing to watch, especially the waves on the shore with the seagulls at the end. Good to see the gimbal walking trainers making a brief appearance (not white now haha ;) Skegness is under rated, it looks like a lovely place and well looked after too. Thanks for walking us around.
Thank you
I need new trainers - these have outdone their mileage 🤣
Love it we're going back again this July 1st time last year love it ❤
Have fun!
very good video thanks for this
You are welcome!
Has a excellent longevity amazing.
Totally agree!
@@GimbalWalkTV thanks mate, look forward to more videos.
Could you do a video of Norfolk Broads at all please?
I am from lincolnshire and visit skegness every year..love it...another nickname is skegvegas lol
Ha ha yes! Good old skegvegas! 🤣
My brother is over in Skegness this week.
Hope he has a good time!
I like Skegness and have been there in April 2011, July 2021 and July 2022
I've been waiting for this to get my Skeggy fix 😂
Hope it’s worth the wait!
A beautiful. Walk from Michigan America. Thank you
Thank you
Hope you’re well over there in Michigan!
Thanks for watching my channel 👍👍
At Skegness with you again today, this time in town.Lovely quiet walk around.Skegness really does have a beautiful beach.I wonder who does the voting for these places , totally wrong about Skegness being the worst.
Thanks for the video
My sister & i will be in Skegness for a week in july. Looking 4ward to it 2.
We neither drink nor play bingo or games. I love people watching
Have fun!
Skegness, a beautiful little seaside town. I live just up the road Boston 45 minutes drive away and I think Skegness is brilliant. And it’s faring a lot better than some seaside towns and most definitely does not deserve the bad reputation of bad seaside town that it gets on the Internet. There are a lot worse places when it come to seaside town. I’m looking at you Blackpool when you catch Skegness on a day like this when the weather is on your side for half a day a breakaway having a little walk round having a drink can’t go wrong like I said skeg gets a load of bad press but doesn’t deserve it. Places is okay, not brilliant but a lot better than it gets credit for
How is life in Boston?
I filmed it the other day - the video will be on my channel in a day or two
What do you think of life there?
@@GimbalWalkTV I will look forward to seeing it
And Boston, is about the same as normal
I live up in the North-East have been going to Skegness for over 40 years. We love the place.
Well said!
It's great fun - lovely place to go
Thanks , I love to see & hear the sea! It reminds me that we are an island not a great land mass. Nice to see the sun too. This is my nearest beach as I live inland. Im not a lover - I was brought up on Herne Bay & Margate etc as Im a Southern Softie!
It reminds me of Niagara Falls - you can smell it a mile off! Fish, chips & all things fun fair sugary. Only been here twice in real life. 3 times now today!!!
I don't know that part of the UK yet, so I can't comment on the votes and all that. It looks like a nice place to take the family and have a good time at the seaside. It's the sea ⛵, beach 🏖️ and pier that I love. Great video Neil 👍.
Fun fact, when i lived in England i worked for a local Stonemason (Boston), and we made the city location plaques and the compass directions in Compass Gardens
Im going in sept, skeg vegas is paradise love it❤.
Me too!
@@GimbalWalkTV hi may see u there would be interesting.
We always went to Skeggy for our holidays. Easy to get to from Coventry - M69 - M1- A46 - A158 - about 4 hours if you stop for a break. Stopped going about 5 years ago now due to personal circumstances. The beaches there are truly enormous and are sandy - no pebbles! There is always something to do. We used to stay just off the North Beach in a boarding house with our dogs of the moment. On a typical day I'd to take them for their morning walks to the beach and got a paper on the way back.
Then off in our car to a car boot with dogs (they went everywhere) just after 10 a.m. - there's one EVERY day in different places. About midday we'd stroll downtown towards the clock tower and perhaps a seat in nearby Tower Park for an hour. On a Sunday they used to have bands playing there - very nice. There was a kiddies play area there as well. Then off for a walk round town to look in the charity shops and markets and call in at an outside cafe for lunch. Afternoons, after shopping for tea, usually a stroll to the beaches. Sometimes a visit north up the Roman Bank to Ingoldmells or Mablethorpe past the many beaches. Sometimes on a Sunday we'd go to Burgh Le Marsh (15 min drive) and have lunch at one of the many pubs - again all dog friendly. There's a pleasure beach, golf course and scores of attractions at night - what more could you want? I've been to a lot of England's holiday spots and, believe me, Skeggy knocks them all for six!
You can park just off the prom in the back streets just about anywhere in Skeggy - no yellow lines! Everywhere is very clean and well looked after. Must have gone to Skeggy for at least 15 years consecutive - that's how much we liked it. As I remember it never once rained. Blazing hot sun, cloudless skies, every day (like this Gimbal video). Very hot. Great weather - until we returned to Coventry!
Thanks for this one Neil. We visited Skeg (from Melbourne, Australia) late 2022 as my father lives in Boston not far away. We had a great lunch at the trawlers catch, which I notice you recommend. I can understand why there may be some negative comments about Skeg, but as you said there are worse places for sure. Thanks for your channel which we watch and enjoy regularly.
Thank you so much
Stay tuned for a Boston video this week too! 👍👍👍👍❤️
@@GimbalWalkTV wow - we wondered if you'd go there. I don't much like that place at all, apart from my father lives there lol .....
I live about 2 hours and 15 minutes away from Skegness what a coincidence I'm going there in one week aswell
Great stuff - have fun!!
will there be a ingoldmells video aswell ???
In a few weeks yes for sure!
@@GimbalWalkTV awesome thank you for reply on it 😁😁
Just seen your gimbel walk skeggy fantastic we love it we always go there every year load of rubbish about worst holiday destination come an try it folks😎😎👉👉👉
Exactly!! 👍
❤❤❤
👍🏻
Definitely not the worst seaside resort , I will be back in the summer, I think Paignton is worse?
Oh I didn't enjoy Paignton when I went last - Will go back and give it another try
The place I went to for all my holidays yearly as a child and even now as an adult such a beautiful place that gets unnecessary hate. But will admit oceans Cafe is vastly under rated especially their fish and chips meal
Will have to try that one - where is it?
@GimbalWalkTV on lumley Road literally like 3 shops down from the marine boat bar
They never have cod only haddock.
@@alantaylor2217 I'm not a haddock fan me.
No I prefer Cod Trawlers Catch are fabulous And very good value
@@GimbalWalkTV
we are visiting skeggy in june for 5 days it does not deserve the reputation as its a wonderful place
Agreed
Me and Anthony will be returning to Skegness in 2025 Gimbal Walk TV
Have a great time when you do
Lots of fun!
Christ!...another video already! You're B&B fees must be Astronomical!😮🍳🛏🛀💵
They are 🤣🤣🤣
No wayyyyy is Skegness the worst seaside town. Clacton is 😂 Southend is. Skegness is beautiful and generally very friendly there. I love Skegness always have for 30 years now every year
Well said
PAPA'S has closed down
Has it? Was that recent?
I saw it on NeilR adventures a couple of weeks ago @@GimbalWalkTV
@@alantaylor2217 Ah thank you - will have a nosey
As asomeone who lives in Skegness this is clearly not a tour of the whole town. Only the seafront is shown. Why not take a proper walk around Skegness and see the filth there is. Rubbish everywhere. Run down properties. The drug and alcohol addiction and wait until the height of the season when yet more beggars are on the street. You paint a pretty picture which is far from the truth.
Not quite sure you grasp the whole point of the video
@@GimbalWalkTV You're not showing the truth of Skegness. It's okay for you to show the good bits. What about the bad bits or are you afraid
I would vote ingoldmells the worst Not Skegness
😮😮😮
Immigrants paradise.
Didn't see a single one
