@Elijah Atlas glad I could help :)
Spent many childhood holidays at Walton, the pier used to have a small railway going along it, and in the central car park was a large market, I often remember the High Street being thronged with people. Sadly many places I remember have gone, and even the wonderful seafront streetlights with their colourful light displays are now just plain old metal ones.
That Martello Tower used to be a bar in the centre of a holiday park.
And who remembers the Naze Cash & Carry store? It seems to be huge to a kid in the 70s...
Can’t beat exploring the coast me and my fiancée Kate used to go to Cornwall once every year as it was her favourite place to go and we’d just walk and explore much like you do in your videos Kate allways loved climbing rocks round the sea front getting to places people really should be at haha just to see what was there and how far we could go ❤️ Sadly she passed away suddenly back in July 2019 just 3 weeks after our last trip to Cornwall together :( we had 7 amazing years together :) and I’ll allways remember the time we spent together, Kate had never been to Cornwall before the first time I took her there and she instantly fell in love with the place I would love to see you do some videos there if it’s possible
Oh matt sorry to hear that, glad you enjoyed the video ill add to my list
That sea looked so inviting. Loved the beach hut village! What a lovely place 🤗
It was I went for a swim after as it was so hot!
the sea is best nearest the Tower.
the closer to the pier the dirtier it is, i guess down to population
Used to holiday here in the 60s as a child. Very fond memories of my family who still live here😎
I love it at Walton. Been going there since my happy childhood days camping back in the 1970s on the green next to the Bath House where there is now a swimming pool. It's always had a lovely friendly atmosphere and quirky shops too. I would like to move and retire there in about the next five years 👍
Thanks for sharing!
That long pier is amazing! Views of the water is quite something. Definitely would enjoy this beautiful place. Such a charming town!!
It really is!
I've been going there ever since I was a baby and the place is absolutely gorgeous I can never get enough my spiritual home deffo would love to live there one day
since this video the pier has been renovated and is in the progress of a 5 year plan. an update walkwithmetim at walton is due i think
@@Mark3Spark I agree Mark time for another visit.
I went here this august for holiday, I stayed from the 20th to the 24th! it was so beautiful and mesmerising since I’m from a very bad area in Dagenham hahah seeing this I presumed it was from like 4 years ago because of how hot it was and how blue the ocean is but was shocked that it’s only from 3 months ago!
I totally agree!
Glad you enjoyed it. Dagenham is quite something aha. It’s changed for the worse over decades. Not sneering just understand the difference in the areas. Getting to the seaside is a good idea
Dagenham has changed over the last 15 years for the worse, would never move back there even if I was paid and given a free house.
Great memories of sea fishing with my dad from the pier years ago.
Used to scare me as a kid a bit walking on the slats as we used to call them.
Thanks for sharing sue
What a lovely place. Never seen so many beach huts- lovely that they are on tiers so the beach and sea can be seen from all of them. Really interesting video, many thanks 😁
Glad you enjoyed it
We had a caravan on the Naze Marine site in 70s. There weren’t so many beach huts then and we spent many hours on the beach. Walton has changed a lot since those days, for instance the Naze tower had not been renovated and there was no access to it. your walk still brought back many memories. Thank you.
the naze tower privately bought in 1996 and opened to the public in 2004 where it had over £250k on restorations
My Nan Used To Live Here (she passed away a while ago) so I got some very happy memoirs of Walton on the Naze & it will always hold a special part in my heart
Sorry to hear that
@@WalkWithMeTim its okay at least i got some good memoris of walton
The pier has been revamped maybe you could revisit at some point for comparison. The sea looked great I must say. Got me wishing for warmer days. Thanks Tim another great vlog.
i too have never seen so many beach huts. incredible. A lovely place by the looks. i cant get over you had 35c temp (2 years ago) - thats equal to OUR summers. HOT !
I grew up here, 26 years of my life there, I took it for granted the seaside was just a walk away for me
Nice short film of Walton on Naze
🍭 Excellent walking tour! great experience! thank you for sharing! greetings! ✌😎
Thanks
I live in Walton on the Naze and you will be pleased to know they have updated the Pier at long last!
My wife said that when she was a child her family went here a lot on holiday and stayed with relatives, never been myself Tim but looks a really nice seaside town and my wife said she loved the Pier with the funfair rides and has brought back some lovely memories for her, thank you for sharing another superb vlog ♥️😀👍
That's very kind of you to say thanks Stephen
What a lovely informative tour. Looking forward to the Frinton one.
Hope you enjoy it!
Where the Martello Tower is used to be a Caravan Park. I stayed there with my parents a couple of times in the early 70's..... Actually ended up living in Thorpe-le Soken and going to school in Frinton. Was called Gunfleet School back then. Fantastic school!
Thanks for watching Bill
Thankyou for the video Tim
Been going to Walton since 1970 I was 8 years old . We are only 1.5 hours away
Makes a nice day out.
They used to have pritty coloured lights
Up by thr pier when I was 8
Loved the walk at night to see them on the way to the rides.
Shame they took them away.
Please bring them back.
Beach is lovely in the sun they have a park and swimming pool as well next to each other on the green
yes I love it here
Walton is such a beautiful place and your video brought it to life for me 😊 thanks Tim until Clacton , keep safe my friend 🙌👍🏻🙏
Thanks steve
We used to have a family day trip to Walton every summer in the 80s, beach all day and then rides on the pier, ghost train was my favourite
I am about to move to Clacton on Sea ,I will explore all these places ,thanks for your tips . now 2023 .
New subby here! Love your videos and narration. Professional and informative..better than a BBC documentary with a little history thrown in. Thank-you for sharing.
Lol thanks
I absolutely love that Pier and video too 👍
Thanks
Every summer growing up, without fail. There was one where we went every weekend to stay in a caravan. Glorious.
Love your videos Tim. I don't live anywhere near the South East coast or Norfolk and tbh, I never thought about visiting that part of the country, but after watching your videos, I think I might just. The areas you've covered look absolutely lovely and you do a really good job of promoting them. I actually find them quite therapeutic lol. Looking forward to your next one.
Thanks julia
Lovely video, beautifully shot & presented. 👍 - Well done!
As a family we've had a hut on the Naze, at Hipkin's beach, just a bit further down from where you started your walk, for probably over 70 years now & loved every second there!
Up where the church is, in the graveyard, there are 4 propellers that make up a memorial for the crew of a WWII bomber that crashed on the Naze, not that far from where the tower is.
As a kid I was fascinated by it & a Hurricane that crashed on the beach & is now in Hendon RAF museum.
The bomber was recovered in the 70's & if you go onto the local photographers "Putmans" website there are photographs of the excavation. The event was really tragic as the aircraft was crewed by Canadians & was shot down by a Canadian anti-aircraft battery right on the Naze there in a friendly fire incident. Oldest crew member was 26 & youngest 19. 😕
Wow thanks for sharing, didn't know about that history
God rest their souls.❤
That was so pretty and colourful, a great day out,thanks,it’s winter with me, so it was so nice to see colour an blue sky’s.🤗👋
Glad you enjoyed it
Well that’s lovely I’m very surprised looks interesting . Good luck with the house Tim Dee👍👍👍👍👍
Lol
This is a great video. I loved seeing the walk from east to west. I had great holidays in Walton from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, and still go back from time to time. My favourite part is the Naze and also Jubilee Field. Even at my advanced age, I find that I can still swim in the sea at Walton, it is not too cold, unlike most UK beaches I have experienced.
yes John I love Walton I find the water there very warm! did you see my tour of it .ua-cam.com/video/1vEQDAlnvhk/v-deo.html
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes I did. Really enjoyed it!
Walton on the Naze looks lovely Tim,Love all the houses overlooking the sea what a view they have.Walton looks a very nice place.
- Just a small point but what you called Naze Marina is actually the Town Hard, Naze Marina is a holiday park and Titchmarsh Marina is up the Naze. Your Title would be apt though, having lived in Walton from 67 to 97 it was definitely time to get out, I did visit twice this summer and enjoyed it, missed the quote on the front of the pier gone since the revamp.
Another great video, thanks very much, it's 10 years since I visited
You're welcome
Walton looks great...including the pier..lots to do.
Thanks for a lovely vid.
Wish you show more places to eat and town centres in your videos as well.
Cheers
very picturesque, I was in Clacton on sea in 1975 in the school holidays and it was great.
😲
Wow! What a beautiful place. I have never been to Walton but now after seeing this video I will make an effort to visit the town. Whilst the pier looks a little run down the seafront is beautiful and reminds me of Southwold in places. Excellent video Tim and thumbs up👍👍👍
thanks David
Haven't been to Walton since the seventies, changed like most places. Love to go back to the Naze in the winter always was nicer then. Thankyou.
What a lovely place and the water did look lovely amazing so many lovely places in England xx
Thanks nikki
Another wonderful video Tim, beautifully put together and so interesting, thanks so much, keep up the good work!
Thanks
Thanks
Awesome many childhood memories and holidays here x
your welcome thanks for watching
Another great tour. Thanks.
Thanks
Awesome one of my favorite places to be. Had family holidays there for a week every summer.
It really is!
You must do Frinton on Sea and St Osyth and Brightlingsea too! There's a martello tower at St Osyth which is a museum right in the middle of the Haven Holiday Park
Thanks Heather
Yes, he must do Frinton on Sea . I used to live there about 50 years ago !
i enjoyed walking with you,such a beautiful place
Thanks
I’m going here tomorrow and I’m really excited!!
the weather looks great!
During the lockdowns the Air, Sea and Rivers were pollution free, so clear .That pier would freak me out way too long , all that water !! Walton on the Naze looks lovely, Thank you Tim 🙂
I love Walton soo much history especially past the tower with the WWII pillboxes on the beach etc
Thanks for watching Edward
Nice video ill shall have to explore here at some point , thanks for taking us along 🙂👍
your welcome
Clacton is a toilet, Frinton is pretty lifeless (and a bit 'League of Gentlemen') but Walton is a hidden gem.
I love how you edit your videos, I think they are amazing
Thanks amy
Hi Tim what a lovely place could do with a bit of work on the pier as you said but it's otherwise ok . Never been ill have to visit one day . Thankyou for sharing with us love Tracey xx
Thanks for watching as always tracey
Thanks never new it was that nice only hour and twenty minutes away will definitely visit
Great job with your videos keep them coming I’ll make a point of visiting Walton
That would be great if I found some relatives in the area.
thanks for watching
That took me back, lived there for a while in my teens, we used to run the queens head hotel back in the day!
Nice . . .
,yes
Looking though the gaps in the pier scare the hell out of me!!!!
Lol
I visited in February 2019 when it was brilliant blue sky and water and warm enough for shirtsleeves! Beyond the beach huts and the tower, is an amazing area of geological deposits, that on this day was as colourful and as fascinating as the rather more well known Alum Bay sands on the IOW. The only downside were the London gault blue grey clay deposits that stuck to my shoes so much, that I was on the point of throwing them away and buying new ones.
Thanks for watching
Never been to this place but it looks worth a visit. Thanks for the video.
You should!
I was last at the pier on a school trip back in 83. There used to be a mirror maze, and that ghost train was there but themed different, you sure picked the best day to go Tim.
defo !it was so beautiful and HOT lol
Great video Tim, not only the friendliest but also the safest, Victoria left her watch in the gardens you walked through and it was still there several hours later. I actually really like Walton Pier but agree it could perhaps do with a smarten up and I remember the rickety planks. So next week you visit the Pier of the Year 2020 be good to see if you agree. Had forgotten about those unusual tiered beach huts.
Glad you enjoyed it
I've lived here my whole life. Theres not much to do but it's still nice to walk around
Agree its beautiful
Excellent filming and Narration, lovely shots of a turquoise sea for 2020..
You could sell this video to Walton tourist board, if there is one, for a promotional service. This video certainly sold Walton on the Naze to the viewer.
The Sunshine certainly makes everything so much more appealing. Although the grassy areas are a little scorched.
agree!
I believe I was sailing on the Backwaters on the very hot days when you filmed this. My Mum's house is just behind you where you begin your walk. Nice video.
It was very 🔥
It looks great there, really good video
Thank you very much!
Its like whitstable in kent full of beach huts but a lovely little town to take a nice summer walk in.
It really is!
I would love to see you do a walk with me in Harwich. ♥️💜
;-)
Lived there years ago cannot say that the trip today was like it used to be years back - think I preferred Walton years ago than now.
thanks for watching Edward
Nice video...Walton has changed a lot since the 60's and 70's..the Naze has suffered some significant erosion..😮
Yes it has amanda
Hi Tim, this is the first of your walks I have watched, and it’s really interesting and informative. Being fairly local (hour away) I found information from this that I was not aware of, so thanks.
The only thing I could maybe offer as a suggestion is that you could in the future, consider covering some of the local pubs and restaurants, maybe beer gardens. Just a thought..😎
Other than that, really enjoyed it..
Hi Paul, yes maybe but that free advertising lol
Walk With Me Tim
Absolutely, didn’t think, although you would not have to mention names/companies.. but clear, thanks..
@Walk With Me Tim yes, but your whole film is basically free advertising for the Essex Tourist Board... how many businesses featured in your walk too?
I don't think it would hurt to do as suggested and check out the amenities in the same way you did for hotels and Parks.. give the average daytripper some do's & dont's.
I love the beach huts. I seem to remember reading somewhere that a beach hut in Bournemouth sold for over £100,000 for a wooden hut. I think you really need to be committed to using it more than once or twice a year, if they are that expensive. Like most things desirable, they are only available to the very rich. Still it's nice to dream.
Lived there about 65 years ago iovely memories .
its a lovely place
As a child in the 1960's. My family holidayed at Walton every year. I was always afraid to walk on the pier so my dear Dad used to carry me. Happy memories, and it hasn't changed a great deal since. Oh dear, you are right, the pier looks in a very sorry state. Great video Tim
Thanks Paula
Did you not go on the train to the end?
@@welditmick Hi Welditmick. I don't remember a train there in the 1960's. I believe there is a trackless one now. We always had a great time though. Its well worth a visit
@@paulahennell4232 Hi Paula. Yes there was one - Red and Blue tenders. How it has changed and not for the better. I would say half of the businesses are closed. Memories.
Great video as usual my old legs wouldn’t let me walk along the pier I didn’t see any seats along there looks a lovely place I have never been there
Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed
Going to the parkdean place there in a couple of weeks, looking forward to it 👍
Never been to Walton On The Naze, I think we need to go, especially the walk around the Naze itself. Thanks for the reccomendation.
You should!
Excellent !
Thanks
Another great video, and good to see you have been to my neck of the woods LOL. You must give all your subscribers notice of where you are walking next, as you seem to be guaranteed good weather on those days!.
Lol
THE WATER IS BLOODY FREAZING ..NIOT LIKE FLORIDA MY LOVE.
lol for the uk it was warm lol
A place I've visited periodically during my long life. Back in the day, you could see the pirate radio ships moored offshore. I like the gaps in the boards on the pier. Adds to the feeling of walking out above the waves. A pity the grass was dried brown by the weather. It's so much better when it's green. Another enjoyable video and I'll ignore the editing error as you approached the beach huts.
Error?
@@WalkWithMeTim You repeat yourself at approximately 12.05 and 12.17.
I really enjoyed it. Our parents use to take us to a caravan park there when we when kids. Only found your channel a few weeks a go and love it. I was hoping you'd have a VLOG of Walton on the Naze, and well hew it is. Thank you. I live in Australia and visit as often as i can.. I will be going back here. Cheers.
Thanks cliff
Aw this is a nice comment.. amazing Tim filmed the place you love x
that caravan park is now a large housing estate and i believe its still being built many happy holidays on site
Yet again awesome content and it really looked like you could of been aboard with how clear the sea was. I really hope that you do video of Corton and hopton on sea as I’m due to be going on holiday down there in a few weeks.
hope you had fun thanks for watching
Wow great video Tim 👍😁
Thanks mark
I used to live there very nice place
Great stuff,
I’ve lived here nearly 20 years. You can see my house in your video. On Southcliff. It’s a beautiful place to live and I couldn’t live without my sea view. But the pier is a disgrace and let’s the place down. Whereas Clacton pier is amazing xx
Oh wow!
This was really interesting for me as I know the square root of Jack about Essex and am completely unfamiliar with Walton On the Naze but have to say that with the exception of that shoddy looking Pier it looks like a really nice place to visit on a sunny day and you clearly hit the jackpot with the weather Tim!
I know it was maybe too hot!
@@WalkWithMeTim No such thing as too hot in the UK lol!
The pier may be shoddy as its so old but its amazing and and it's done it over time but it's a classic
Was there today. Unlike in this video, the cold wind and rain made the beach a very different place. Not a day to be outside. But I went to go on the funfair rides in the pier. Had a lovely, fun afternoon in there. Love the old classic rides. And I'm an adult, but still a big kid at heart!
You definitely should ride the Ghost Train Tim, it's really good!
I bet it was very different lol .. glad you still had a good time rob
@@WalkWithMeTim Thanks Tim. Your excellent videos inspired me to make my own video of my windy and wet visit to Clacton, Walton and Harwich, which I've just uploaded to UA-cam. Not anywhere near your professional quality, but I'm happy with it.
Have you thought about making a video about Harwich? I only stopped briefly and it was getting dark. But what I saw was very interesting. Especially the views of the ships at Felixstowe Port. Harwich seems to have a lot of history. I'm going back there sometime for a proper visit.
going there in three days… makes me exited as heck with this amazing tour
How was it? I went 2 days ago.
@@redNrotten fantastic! Except for the lone thunderstorm and some high winds, we found the beaches perfect for ball games, minimum rocks and clean sand as the tide comes up a lot. Also a really good fish and chip shop!
@@ContractionYT that’s good to hear. I had a great time on Saturday aswell. It was sunny and the pier Is good.
@@redNrotten of course
Well done Tim.. love this video.. it really makes me want a weekend away. Where’s your next video? 💋❤️💋😍
Thanks gaby!
Nice visit great video. 😁
Thanks
Tim, you should definitely check out Sandown Pier on the Isle of Wight, it's very jam packed with amusements, fairground type rides, food stalls , little coin operated rides for kids, bowling alleys and an indoor crazy golf coarse. I've been on there myself back in August 2015, it looked quite something in comparison to most piers I've seen
Thanks for the tip 😃
I'm really enjoying your walks. Looking forward to seeing a lot more. British Seaside resorts really are quite unique. I'm a huge fan of British Seaside Piers, something we miss living in Oz. What are your plans for this channel? I'd relish the opportunity to see ALL the British Seaside Piers and to have them recorded on video before any more are lost. Thank you for taking time to present these walks, you really are very good at this.
Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed
Looks a beautiful place never been 😎
Thanks ali
Great job dude
Thanks!
Great vlog 👍
Thank you 😊
A fantastic film . Essex gets a bad rap from the MSM,so its a pleasure to see its true character brought to life.
Thanks mike
My in laws just live up the road in Kirby le Soken and I must admit the beaches are excellent.
If you’re lucky you might see a seal pop it’s head up
im sure I did a few times
