Along with the rain, persistent wind has been a real bugbear this year. Nice area around there. Silverdale/ Arnside. We have walked parts of it, but still so much to do there.

Just like to say that Duxbury is pronounced Ducksbury not Dukesbury.

2:59 i grew up on in two houses on Sunnybank Cottages, numbers 13 and 19. Also the hill you walked down 30 seconds previously used to sledge down there as a child in the winter! Great video thank you

Looked like a breezy day. I did a circular walk around the area about a year ago with my 80 year old dad. We were making use of the £1 Northern Rail Sale tickets from Manchester. It was about rushed as we were restricted by the return time. Good to see this walk too

We did a similar walk along Arnside coastal path some time ago but your's looked a nicer route. Hoping to repeat again though. We also have experienced windy weather during filming, but some impressive shots Steve. Quite a Spanish rhythm to guitars to your music Steve. Nice to see you both out enjoying yourselves.

Loved watching this as we walked here, must have been 20 years ago...thanks for bringing back some sleeping memories

Loving the sculpture trail stills, it is so sad to think of the suffering that the victims of the Pendle witch trial's endured.

hi there i lived in grange in the 60s and 70s there was no sea grass it was all rocks and sand up to the prom must do a road trip bk to my old stomping ground with my mini 4

I've never been to Filey. Looks a pleasant place. Bempton I've been to once - to the RSPB viewing point. You were lucky with the weather, good weather for filming.

Hi Steve and Jean. Great clarity in your film. Very realistic to watch with some effective shots. Presume It's the camera you mentioned before. Not been to Filey for years I know its usually a holiday location for Butlins if I remember rightly. Much enjoyed sharing hols and liked the easy going style of piano arrangement too.

Lovely...we visited Filey a couple of weeks ago..We just walked along the coast...looks like we missed so much

Brilliant video exactly what i needed as I'm going for the weekend. Thank you 👍🏻

Didn't they once have monkeys at Moss Bank Park? I'm sure they did when I was a kid. I love my home town. Brilliant video!❤

We are members of the National Trust, so always interesting to see places not visited. But know Ramsbottom and Holcombe Moor. A pleasant looking route and some pleasant hideaway spots too. Also a lovely piano piece. Those chord progressions delightful

Lovely scenery. I always like this time of year for the new greenery, before the insects and weather start to ravage it. Your walk here showed it to perfection. Pity about all the mud - we haven't finished with it yet.

Family land

Great images. Thank you. It was though built commencing 1802 and completed 1808. It would later be enlarged. There are indeed many boundary stones to the west and north shores (likely celebrating an enlargement at that time) dated 1842.

Very good that, thanks. The lunatic on a horse needs arresting, that was incredibly dangerous and disrespectful. Sorry to be negative though, you did a great job of showing the village and area in it's full glory.

I went here yesterday but alas half term so couldn’t go in, going back Wednesday to have a nosey. Thankyou for convincing me it’s worth going in! Architecturally the building is bizarre and amazing !

Our house used to stand exactly where the ordsall lane entrance is. Used to play in the grounds of the hall as kids. That peacock, I'm sure used to stand outside ordsall girls. school. Nice video, only just found it.

Lovely video thanks. Ramsbottom's great for walking. We did a walk a couple of weeks ago from Nuttall Park then along the disused railway path through Tottington and then back along the Irwell Sculpture Trail. We've been up Peel Tower a few times but never tried the other side of the valley towards Grant Tower. Maybe when the weather improves again!

I remember a coach visit and stay in Grange Over Sands a long time ago. Not visited Holker Hall though. Was that organ music inside the church or your own arrangements Steve? (Very impressive pleasant melody. Really liked).You had a lovey day for filming. Some lovely shots too Steve. What camera did you use? Nice jazzy/bossa style piano playing including a gentle piece.

Not been for a couple of years so pleased to learn the lido update is now still going ahead. As for that wild garlic my goodness, never seen so much. Another great video.

I think the railway trip across from Arnside is always the best way to approach Grange. I do like the walk along the seafront there, with its views over Morecambe Bay. We visit quite frequently, but I must admit it's years since I last visited Holker.

Great video! x

Lovely garden we visited this garden in the month of December 2023 and also in March 2024 ❤

its defintely true about taking time -- I have an acre garden in remote central france after three years its staring to look acceptable -- but it was very frustrating at first being new to gardening - thanks for video // nice walk ---- more vids on rhs would be nice .... tick you sir

We were here this week making the most of our free Salford Tuesday offer before it ends this month . Excellent when it's in bloom but out of season not much to see. Always enjoyable if only for a stroll around

I notice the lovely sunshine appearing in quite a few vlogers films. Think like me you still look warmly wrapped up though. I know the River Irwell having done walks like you around Burrs Country Park (not yet uploaded as filmed before recent new cameras). I recognise similar route we took too. Loved the gentle jazz/swing style of music 'Just So' especially with the guitar instrument Steve.

I always enjoy a visit there; such a peaceful location. Nice to see the inside again, since it was quite a while since I last went in. We have done several walks from there over the years, all of them very enjoyable. I didn't know the Chetham's connection, so that was interesting.

I have done my most of this route myself but accessed via Burrs, may nees to revisit now the new path improvements have been made. Love getting route walking inspiration from you 🚶‍♀️

When we were kids, there were stairs that allowed you to get to the top of Arnside Tower.

Nice to see you in front of the camera more Steve, I'm guessing you're feeling more comfortable doing that now. Looks very pleasant around Burrs Country Park. I must say I did find "Just So" very catchy, even found myself trying to play some of your piano chords from it on my own keyboard afterwards! 😄👍

I know Turton Tower and gardens well. We have done a few walks around the area including one I did with a walking group. I bet Turton Towers would welcome sharing your film of their premises. Very well presented and produced. As ever loved the tinkling piano playing with changes of chord progressions and mood. Even recognised your second jazzed version of 'In an English Country Garden".So nice on the ears.

stay away from edisford bridge i was attacked by 2 homeless people

Lovely day for a look around Rossendale. Much more to see of course, why not come and check it out? Just nit-picking but some of the place names were incorrectly spelled.Crawshorebooth and Haslingdon for example!! Should have read Crawshawbooth and Haslingden of course.

Wow

I lived in Garden Street from 1989 for the best years of my life so this video brought a pang of nostalgia to me. The arched bridge just upstream of the mill is actually an aqueduct containing the main sewer from Rammy towards Bury. I was mountain biking past one day and I found it burst open with untreated sewage pouring straight into the Irwell. I phoned the water authority and it became a major incident, they lined the aqueduct with a pipe and rebuilt the stonework pretty fast. I was also there when the pub collapsed into the river, which was a merciful end for it because it had staggered from one existence to another for years as people tried different styles. I spent a small fortune on beer in there. When it collapsed the rumour was that it had been bought by a Mr Khan who was scheming to build apartments on the car park and hadn't got insurance on the building, so when it took away the bridge parapet Bury Council went after him for the cost of repairs. Dunno if that was the real truth or what has happened since. I used to love watching Pete Waterman's trains chuffing past my wondows at weekends and blasting into the tunnel. They were happy years.

That was a lovely walk with interesting spots along the way, thanks for sharing.

My friend and I did the walk from Wardle village to the reservoir and thoroughly enjoyed it, it's a lovely part of the world .

HI Steve a very comprehensive film of your locations I know Helmshore and Musberry Heights. But didn't recognize your route. Wow Im intrigued by your magic invisible wand . How did you film holding an invisible tripod? From all those angles? Very impressive. I think that horse was dancing because it wanted to get out or feeling trapped. Well that's my view. As usual liked the cool laid back piano style. Nice shots on route.

always wanted to go here

Well done a great video as a member of Bolton Lions we have planted trees in memory of past members also have a Friendship Bench over looking Barrow Bridge.

Thanks for your helpful video..I will try to visit soon.

Interesting to know about the farmers' market. Helmshore Museum has changed greatly since I first visited (when it was run by a society and entry only by prior arrangement).

Stunning. I grew up in Rochdale but had no idea such wonderful scenery was so close

Following a nice walk around there picking dog sh1t up nip in a local boozer and get your head kicked in by a local dingle farmer if you are lucky 😱

Nice place, shame about all the 6 finger dingles that live there they still point at aeroplanes ffs and have pet frogs and banjos

Interesting video

Priestely clough and laund clough would have been worth a visit both close to the town centre
